6.9. Needle Guide Function
NOTE:
Use proper disinfection techniques at all times to perform a biopsy.
Always follow these basic precautions:
WARNING
1.
Disinfect the needle guide and the probe before the first use and after each
subsequent use to avoid cross infection.
2.
Always handle probes and needle guide adaptors with care. Do not use a probe or an
adaptor if it has been dropped or struck against a hard surface until it is inspected by a
customer engineer of the manufacturer.
3.
The displayed needle guide line on the monitor is intended for reference during biopsy
procedures. A variety of factors outside
the manufacturer
’s control, such with the
change of tissue density, bending of the needle, off-axis pressure by the person
holding the probe, may cause deflection of a needle outside of the displayed line even
when the probe, needle guide, and the system software are all performing as intended
and within manufacturing specification. The specialist performing a biopsy procedure
must be aware of potential external factors when executing an invasive procedure.
4.
The caliper must be placed along the needle path. If not, the displayed measurements
may be incorrect.
