• Some biopsy guides must be installed over a sterile transducer cover.
• After each use, biopsy guides must be either sterilized or disposed of,
depending upon the type.
• Most transducers can only be disinfected; they cannot be sterilized. Only
the transducer cover provides the sterile barrier.
Biopsy Guideline Display
WARNING
Do not attempt to use the biopsy guide until you have read the instructions for
selecting the display, installing the sterile transducer cover, and verifying alignment
of the biopsy guide.
The system generates a biopsy guideline through the displayed real-time
ultrasound image to indicate the anticipated path of the needle. You can use that
guideline to ensure that the needle or instrument is following the correct path.
When the biopsy display is active, a biopsy guideline is displayed, entering from
the left or right side of the screen, depending on the clinical application and image
presentation you have selected. When you reverse the image presentation by
touching Left/Right, the biopsy guideline moves to the opposite side. Image
presentation is defined by the location of the orientation marker.
When depth is changed, the biopsy display redraws to reflect the new
relationships at the new depth setting.
