When the console is in “Biopsy” mode, depressing the footswitch will activate the vacuum
and operation of the handpiece.
v
When the console is in “Lavage” mode, the user can automatically aspirate and irrigate the
biopsy cavity. It is not necessary to depress the footswitch.
v
When the console is in “Manual Aspiration” mode, depressing the footswitch allows the
user to independently control aspiration without taking a tissue sample. This function may
be used to vacuum or irrigate the biopsy cavity.
Additional operating instructions are required for a stereotactic biopsy and a stereotactic
adapter must be utilized. Suros offers four stereotactic adapter models, which are depicted
in Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9.
