13-16 Probes and Biopsy
3. Before and after a biopsy procedure is performed,
confirm that the needle-guided bracket is normal.
Manually confirm that the parts of the needle-guided
bracket do not slip off or move from their proper
positions. If the needle-guided bracket is used when
parts are not securely and correctly installed, the patient
may be injured. If an abnormality is found on the
needle-guided bracket, immediately stop using it and
contact MINDRAY Customer Service Department or
sales representative.
4. DO NOT use a needle-guided bracket when scanning is
performed. The needle may advance in an incorrect
direction and possibly injure the patient.
Never perform a biopsy during image scanning.
5. DO NOT freeze an image while performing biopsy
procedure.
6. During biopsy procedures, the needle may deviate from
the desired course due to the tissue characteristics or
the type of needle. In particular, needles of small
diameters may deviate to a greater degree.
7. Disinfect the probe and sterilize needle-guided bracket
before and after each ultrasound-guided biopsy
procedure is performed. Fail to do so may cause the
probe and the needle-guided bracket become sources
of infection.
8. Before clean and sterilize needle-guided bracket please
remove the needle-guided bracket from the probe
referring to “13.2.8
Removing the Needle-guided Bracket ”.
9.
The needle mark displayed on the ultrasound image
does not indicate the actual position of the biopsy
needle. Therefore, it should only be used as a reference.
Always monitor the relative positions of the biopsy
needle during the procedures.
10. Adjust the needle mark before the biopsy procedure is
performed.
11. When performing biopsy procedures, use only sterile
ultrasound gel that is certified to be safe. And manage
the ultrasound gel properly to ensure that it does not
become a source of infection.
12. When performing the operation concerning biopsy,
wear sterile gloves.
