7.3 Pre-Procedure System Check
1. With the console in the desired location and powered on, the default mode is
Standby. In Standby mode, the green LED indicator flashes above the Test button.
2. Assemble the Brevera breast biopsy device. Refer to Connect the Device Driver and the
Biopsy Supplies on page 69 for information on assembling the biopsy device.
Warning:
Leave the protective sheath on the biopsy device tip to maintain sterility.
3. Confirm that the suction canister and tissue filter are assembled and placed in the
console. Confirm that the vacuum line assembly and tubing are correctly connected.
See Components, Controls, and Indicators on page 21 for more information on
individual component assembly and connections.
4. Confirm that the silicone section of the saline tubing line is properly positioned in the
saline pinch valve.
5. Confirm that the saline spike is correctly positioned in the saline bag and that the
saline bag is hanging from the saline hook. Confirm that the saline flows freely from
the bag.
6. Press the Test button on the Technologist display to switch the mode to Test mode.
Follow the prompts on the Technologist display. Test mode will prime the system
and generate vacuum.
7. Visually verify the flow of saline into the aperture of the biopsy device. Press the
Check button on the Technologist display to confirm the saline flow.
WARNING!
Make sure the saline flows into the biopsy device to prevent lost cores and
patient injury.
Warning:
Moving parts.
8. Step on the footswitch for two seconds and release the footswitch to initiate a test
cutting cycle. Verify that the aperture opens and closes smoothly during the cutting
test.
Warning:
If the aperture does not open and close smoothly, remove the biopsy needle
and install a new one.
9. After the test, the system gives two options: Go to Standby mode or test the Arm and
Fire functions of the biopsy needle. (The console returns to Standby mode after the
Arm and Fire test is completed.)
10. After completion of a successful test cycle, the system is ready for tissue acquisition.
