6. Begin tissue acquisition. Press down on the footswitch and hold it in the depressed
position throughout the biopsy procedure.
• Removing your foot from the footswitch will inactivate or stop the device after
completing the current cycle and the x-ray for the core in that cutting cycle.
• The system beeps to indicate that it has completed a cutting cycle. A tissue filter
icon appears in the thumbnail area to confirm that the cutting cycle is complete
and ready for x-ray.
7. Acquire a real-time image.
• The core handling system beeps to indicate that it is taking an x-ray. This beep is
significantly softer in volume and tone than the beep that signals the end of the
cutting cycle.
• The Imaging display updates as each x-ray is available. A letter appears to
indicate which core sample the image is associated with. The letters A−L in each
image indicate the tissue filter chamber.
• Touch the thumbnail image on the Imaging display to review the image at full
size on the Imaging display.
8. Rotate the aperture on the outer cannula of the biopsy device by turning the
thumbwheel to the next desired position immediately after the system beeps to
indicate that it has completed a cutting cycle. The numbers in the window on the
biopsy device and the line on the thumbwheel clock dial indicate the position of the
aperture.
9. Continue tissue and image acquisition until the desired target area has been sampled
and imaged. The system beeps two times after twelve cores are taken.
10. Review the images and make necessary enhancements. Refer to How to Review the
Images on page 89.
