When the needle is in place, the radioactive sources can be expelled into the
gland. The needle is then removed. The sagittal plane can be used to check the
position of the radioactive sources. Repeat this sequence until implantation is
complete. The anchors can then be removed.
Cleaning after Puncture and Biopsy
Use a suitable brush to make sure that biological material and gel are removed from
all channels and grooves. See
Care and Cleaning for cleaning instructions.
Disposal
When the transducer is scrapped at the end of its life, national rules for the relevant
material in each individual land must be followed. Within the EU, when you discard
the transducer, you must send it to appropriate facilities for recovery and recycling.
WARNING Reproc-w3
Immediately after use, you must pre-clean the device until visually clean (including
device lumens if existing). Conduct the thorough cleaning process as soon as
possible after use in order to prevent bioburden drying on the surface. Dried
bioburden can lead to inefficient cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, causing a
risk of cross-contamination.
If pre- and thorough cleaning cannot be done immediately, keep the device moist until
cleaning.
WARNING D-w1
For contaminated disposals such as transducer covers or needle guides, follow disposal
control policies established for your office, department, or hospital.
