2. When the transducer is sent to MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales
representative for repair, be sure to disinfect it and keep it in the carrying case to prevent
infection.

13.2 Biopsy Guide
WARNING:
The person performing biopsy procedures must
understand diagnostic ultrasound thoroughly and
have been trained adequately, otherwise, side effects
may be caused in the patient.
In situations listed below, the biopsy needle may fail
to penetrate the target. The incorre
cause various side effects in the patient.
Use a needle-guided bracket that doesn't match
with the transducer.
Mounts the needle-guided bracket incorrectly.
Use a biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the
type of biopsy being performed.
Use a
biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the
type of biopsy being performed.
3.
Before and after a biopsy procedure is performed,
confirm that the needle-
guided bracket is normal.
Manually confirm that the parts of the needle-guided
bracket do not slip off o
positions. If the needle-
guided bracket is used when
parts are not securely and correctly installed, the
patient may be injured. If an abnormality is found on
the needle-
guided bracket, immediately stop using it
and contact MINDRAY
Customer Service Department
or sales representative.
Do not use a needle-guided bracket when scanning
is performed. The needle may advance in an
incorrect direction and possibly injure the patient.
Never perform a biopsy during image scanning.
Do not freeze an image while performing biopsy
procedure.
During biopsy procedures, the needle may deviate
from the desired course due to the tissue
characteristics or the type of needle. In particular,
needles of small diameters may deviate to a greater
degree.
Sterilize the transducer and the needle-guided
bracket before and after each ultrasound-guided
biopsy procedure is performed. Fail to do so may
cause the transducer and the needle-
become sources of infection.
