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.
