Steps for Tissue Sampling
1. Prepare the percutaneous site in accordance with standard surgical technique prior to insertion of the
probe. Incise the selected area adequately to accommodate the trocar shaft.
NOTE: Ensure that you incise the selected area before penetrating the breast with the probe.
NOTE: Ensure that the patient and the probe are in the correct location for tissue biopsy.
PRECAUTION: Avoid positioning the aperture too close to the patient’s skin.
PRECAUTION: Take care to avoid inadvertently hitting a blood vessel or vein.
2. Without lifting off the docking station, remove the tip protector (protective sleeve) from the probe tip
by grasping the holster and probe assembly in the grip area and pulling the device out in line with the
tip protector.
