Releasing the Needle During Biopsy
You can release the needle during biopsy so that the needle guide and transducer can
be removed from the patient, leaving only the needle in place.
How to release the needle guide on N13C5 :
1
Hold the transducer with your left hand. With your right hand, carefully push the
needle guide insert sideways until it opens up (see Figure 6).

2
Carefully move the transducer and needle guide away from the needle.
Performing Puncture and Biopsy
If the transducer is not sterilized, cover it with a sterile transducer cover.
WARNING TC-w4
If you detach the needle guide during interventional procedures, the transducer cover could
be damaged. To avoid cross-contamination, cover the transducer with a new transducer
cover before reattaching the needle guide.
WARNING Exam-w5
Be careful not to lose any parts of the needle guide inside the patient.
WARNING P-w1
Before you start imaging, verify that the type number or name of the transducer and the
type number or description of the needle guide you are using match the number displayed
on the monitor. Also make sure that the needle guide is positioned correctly. If the numbers
do not match, or if the needle guide position is not correct, the puncture line on the monitor
may not correspond to the true puncture path in the tissue. In case of any inconsistency,
stop imaging, turn off the system, and contact your BK service representative.
WARNING P-w6
The puncture line on the image is an indication of the expected needle path. To avoid
harming the patient, the needle tip echo should be monitored at all times so any deviation
from the desired path can be corrected. You must take extra care when taking a freeangle
biopsy because the expected needle path is not shown.
