Performing Puncture and Biopsy
15
If the transducer cover is damaged when attaching the puncture attachment, replace
it with a new cover.
See the
Product Data Sheet
for a list of available transducer covers.
Press the
Puncture
or
Biopsy
control on the system to superimpose a puncture line
on the scan image.
If more than one puncture line is available, refer to the applicable system user guide
for instructions on how to change which one appears.
Move the transducer until the puncture line transects the target. Insert the needle and
monitor as it moves along the puncture line to the target. The needle tip echo will be
seen as a bright dot on the screen.
To remove the puncture line from the scan image, refer to the applicable system user
guide for instructions.

on N13C5 transducer. You must take extra care when taking a free-angle biopsy
because the expected needle path is not shown on the screen image.
Cleaning after Puncture and Biopsy
WARNING

If the transducer cover is damaged during interventional procedures, follow the policies of
the hospital or clinic for treatment of the patient under such circumstances.
WARNING

N13C5 & UA1345
WARNING
Reproc-w3
Immediately after use, you must pre-clean the device until visually clean (including
device lumens if existing). Conduct the thorough cleaning process as soon as
possible after use in order to prevent bioburden drying on the surface. Dried
bioburden can lead to inefficient cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, causing a
risk of cross-contamination.
If pre- and thorough cleaning cannot be done immediately, keep the device moist until
cleaning.
