Multi-Angle Biopsy Guide Assembly
DO NOT attempt to use the multi-angle biopsy bracket and
needle guide until the manufacturer’s instructions, provided with
the biopsy bracket and needle guide in the kit, have been read
and thoroughly understood.
Scan the patient and identify the target for biopsy. Move the
probe to locate the target to the center of the image. Enable
the system biopsy guidezone and try guidezone angles MBX1
to MBX3 to decide the best angle setting for needle path.
NOTE: The biospy guidezone type can be selected in the Set
Up/Custom Display menu page 1.
Identify the appropriate biopsy guide bracket by matching the
label on the bracket with the probe to be used.
