Biopsy needle path verification
Perform the Needle path verification once a year or whenever
there is a suspicion of malfunction.
To verify that the path of the needle is accurately indicated within
the guide zone on the system monitor, perform the following:
1. Properly install the bracket and biopsy guide (see
page 13-48 and page 13-51).
2. Scan in a container filled with a glycerol solution (6% in
water).
3. Display the biopsy guide zone on the monitor (see
page 13-52).
4. Ensure that the needle echo falls within the guide zone
markers.
Starting the biopsy procedure
1. Press Biopsy on the Touch panel (Page 2). When using
multi-angle guides, select the correct angle from the Biopsy
menu.
2. Place sterile coupling gel on the scanning surface of the
probe/sheath.
3. Scan to locate the target. Center the target in the electronic
guidezone path.
NOTE: Enabling color flow would allow for visualization of the
vascular structure around the area to be biopsied.
4. Place the needle in the guide between the needle barrel and
needle clip. Direct it into the area of interest for specimen
retrieval.
Cleaning, disinfection and disposal
1. Refer to the Ultra-Pro II™ Needle Guide user manual for
cleaning and disinfection of the bracket.
2. Perform cleaning and disinfection of the probe as described
in page 13-17.
3. Dispose the sheath, bands and needle guide after use,
according to medical regulations for biohazardous waste.
When the biopsy needle guide kit is opened, all parts must be
discarded after the procedure whether they have been used or
not.
