CAUTION
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.
Improper cleaning methods and the use of certain cleaning and
disinfecting agents can cause damage to the plastic components
that will degrade imaging performance or increase the risk of
electric shock.
