Biopsy Special Concerns
Precautions Concerning the Use of Biopsy Procedures
Do not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure.  The image 
must be live to avoid a positioning error.
Biopsy guidezones are intended to assist the user in 
determining optimal probe placement and approximate the 
needle path.  However, actual needle movement is likely to 
deviate from the guideline.  Always monitor the relative 
positions of the biopsy needle and the subject mass during the 
procedure.
The use of biopsy devices with accessories that have not been 
evaluated for use with this equipment may not be compatible 
and could result in injury.
The invasive nature of biopsy procedures requires proper 
preparation and technique to control infection and disease 
transmission.  Equipment must be cleaned as appropriate for 
the procedure prior to use.
•  Follow the probe cleaning and disinfection procedures and 
precautions to properly prepare the probe.
•  Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cleaning of 
biopsy devices and accessories.
•  Use protective barriers such as gloves and probe sheaths.
•  After use, follow proper procedures for decontamination, 
cleaning, and waste disposal.
