control module vacuum connection slot, 2) to the vacuum canister port, and 3) to a saline bag.
For further convenience, the probe includes a Specimen Management System consisting of 12
proximal specimen collection chambers. Each collection chamber is designed to capture and hold
excised tissue. The specimen collection chambers are designed to be removed from the fluid
management manifold in two separate trays (of six chambers each). If desired, the tissue can remain
in the chambers to be directly imaged in the post-biopsy specimen radiograph.
A biopsy site identifier may be used in conjunction with the Mammotome revolve probes to
radiographically mark the location of the biopsy procedure. In the event of removal of evidence of
abnormality, it is strongly recommended that a marking device be placed to mark the biopsy site in
case follow-up is required.
