Biopsy Guide Alignment
Perform the alignment verification before each use of the biopsy guide. The procedure verifies
the system, transducer, and biopsy guide relationships.
WARNING
Alignment verification is necessary before performing procedures with the biopsy guide.
WARNING
Do not use the biopsy guide if the needle is not following the intended path. Contact your
Philips representative.
WARNING
The needle used for this alignment verification must not be used for the actual procedure.
Always use a new, sterile needle for each biopsy procedure.
WARNING
To assist in an accurate projection of the needle, use a straight, new needle for each
alignment procedure.
Preparation for Alignment Verification
Assemble the following items before performing the alignment verification:
• Transducer
• Biopsy guide or bracket (The bracket is not disposable. The type of bracket you use depends
upon the transducer you are using. For the correct bracket, contact CIVCO Medical
Solutions; see “Supplies and Accessories” on page 21.)
• Needle guide (Contact CIVCO for the needle guide that fits your biopsy guide bracket.)
• Sterile procedure kit (disposable)
• New, straight, biopsy needle
