i. Rotate the stopcock so the OFF indicator is pointing toward the injection port.
PRECAUTION: Failure to have the stopcock in the OFF position may produce a partial tissue
sample or tissue sample of poor quality.

Clearing a Clogged Probe, Tissue Viewing Window, or Moving Sample to Sample Collection Area
a. If tissue is in the tissue viewing area and must be moved to the Sample Collection Area, attempt
to move the tissue by pressing and releasing the VAC button, OPEN/CLOSE button, or BIOPSY
button on the active input device (holster, remote footswitch, or remote keypad). Each begins with
a cutter movement and vacuum pulse to move the tissue.
PRECAUTION: The specimen management system needs to be attached to the probe for this
function to be performed properly.
PRECAUTION: Pressing and holding the VAC button activates on-demand vacuum for the
duration of the button press (up to 15 seconds), while pressing and quickly
releasing the VAC button commands the system to clear the probe.
b. Continue the biopsy procedure, if needed.
Changing Input Devices
To change the remote footswitch or remote keypad, grasp the connector and pull back to remove
it from the remote device connection port. This can be done whether the control module is on or
off.
NOTE: If the system is on, a chime sounds when the input device is connected or removed.
Disassembling the Mammotome revolve Biopsy System
When the tissue sampling procedure is complete, the user must discard the disposable system components.
Disconnecting the EX Probe and Vacuum Tube Set
NOTE: Place the holster/probe assembly on the holster/probe holder of the docking station
by pushing the probe tip straight into the tip protector (protective sleeve) while
holding the device in the grip area.
NOTE: Do not use two hands to install or remove the tip protector onto the probe. Using
both hands increases the likelihood of probe puncture and contamination.
WARNING: Disconnect the saline spike from the saline bag. Discard the saline bag using
standard medical techniques.
NOTE: Take care to ensure that no saline is spilled. Spills can damage the control module and/or
the keypad storage receptacle.
a. Disconnect the vacuum tube set lines from the vacuum canister.
NOTE: Ensure the system is in Standby before removing the vacuum tube set lines from the
vacuum canister. Do not disconnect tubing while system is at the Ready screen.
