Puncture
lines indicate
expected
needle path
The puncture line on the scan image is an indication of the expected needle path (see
Figure 7). The distance from the guide channel entrance of the puncture attachment
to the first dot on the scan image puncture line is approximately 7.5 mm (0.3 in) for
25°, 12 mm (0.5 in) for 45°, and 19 mm (0.7 in) for 65°. The distance between the
dots is 5 mm (0.2 in).
Assembling and Mounting the Needle Guide
To assemble and mount a needle guide on N13C5:
1
Apply a small amount of imaging gel to the tip of the transducer and carefully
cover the transducer with a sterile cover.
2
Select the required needle guide insert by breaking it off the palette (see Figure
2).
3
Find the wedge-shaped channel in the needle
guide, and slide the insert into the channel in
the needle guide until it clicks into place and
aligns with the needle guide.
4
Hold the assembled needle guide with the bracket pointing down.
5
Align the two grooves on the transducer with the two ridges on the needle guide.
6
Carefully smooth and stretch the
transducer cover along the face of the array
and apply pressure until the needle guide
clicks into place over the end of the
transducer.
Figure 4 below shows the needle guide
mounted on the transducer.
