Precaution concerning the use of
biopsy procedures
WARNING
Do not freeze the image during a biopsy procedure. The image
must be live to avoid a positioning error.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
The use of biopsy devices and accessories that have not been
evaluated for use with the equipment may not be compatible and
could result in injury.
