16.2.2 Needle-Guided Bracket Inspection and Installation
A needle-guided bracket is available for purchase as an optional accessory; it is used in
combination with the probe. Some of the probes have matched needle-guided bracket and needles.
To order needle-guided brackets, contact MINDRAY Customer Service Department or sales
representative.
For biopsy or treatment, ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures can be performed using the probe in
combination with a needle-guided bracket (optional accessory) and a biopsy needle (provided by
the user).
Be sure to perform inspections before and after use of the needle-guided bracket. If an abnormality
is found on the needle-guided bracket, immediately stop using it and contact MINDRAY Customer
Service Department or sales representative.
• Sterilize the needle-guided bracket before and after use.
• Put on the sterile probe sheath before installing to the probe.
• Confirm that the needle-guided bracket is free of damage, deformation, stripping, malfunction,
loose, or missing parts.
• Confirm that the needle-guided bracket is securely mounted in the correct position.
• Select the proper needle according to the specification above, and adjust the needle shift to the
same specification of the selected needle.
