Biopsy Procedures
Special Concerns
Precautions Concerning the Use of Biopsy Procedures
Do not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure. The
image must be live to avoid a positioning error.
Biopsy guidelines are intended to assist the user in
determining optimal probe placement and to approximate
the needle path. However, actual needle movement can
deviate from the guideline. Always monitor the relative
positions of the biopsy needle and the subject mass
during the procedure.
The use of biopsy devices and accessories that have not
been evaluated for use with this equipment may not be
compatible and could result in injury.
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper
preparation and technique to control infection and
disease transmission. Equipment must be cleaned as
appropriate for the procedure prior to use.
S
Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection
procedures and precautions to properly
prepare the probe.
S
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the
cleaning of biopsy devices and accessories.
S
Use protective barriers, such as gloves and
probe sheaths.
S
After use, follow proper procedures for
decontamination, cleaning, and waste
disposal.
Improper cleaning methods and the use of certain
cleaning and disinfecting agents can cause damage to
the plastic components that will degrade imaging
performance or increase the risk of electric shock.
