13.2.1 Basic Procedures for Biopsy Guiding
1. Select the right needle-guided bracket and needle, install them properly.
2. Verify the biopsy guide line. For details, please refer to “13.2.4 Biopsy Menu”.
3. Press <Biopsy> on the control panel.
If the current probe has no matched bracket; or, the image is frozen and the guide
line is hidden before image frozen, then you can’t enter Biopsy menu.
Before entering Biopsy menu, the system will prompt you “Please verify guidelines
before biopsy”.
4. Set [Display] as “On” to display the guide line, select the bracket and guide line according
to actual situation. For details, please refer to “13.2.4 Biopsy Menu”.
5. On the Biopsy menu, click [Verify] to enter the Verify menu to verify the guide line. After
the verification, click [Save] on the menu to save the parameter setting. And then click
[Exit] to return to Biopsy menu.
Note:
If you switch the probe or needle-guided bracket during the biopsy, please verify the
guide line again.
When exit the Biopsy Verify menu without saving the setting, system will confirm with
you “Data have changed. Do you want to save the changes?”, Click [OK] to save the
setting and return to Biopsy menu. Click [OK] to save the setting and return to biopsy
menu.
6. Scan to locate the target. Center the target in the electronic guidezone path.
7. Direct the needle into the area of interest for specimen.
8. After extraction of the biopsy sample is completed, gently remove the probe from the
body. To exit Biopsy menu: press <Esc>; or, navigate the cursor onto the Other menu.

DANGER:
Fail to match the guidezone displayed to the guide may cause the
needle to track a path outside the zone.
It is extremely important that when using the adjustable angle
biopsy guides, the angle displayed on the screen matches the
angle set on the guide, otherwise the needle will not follow the
displayed guidezone which could result in repeated biopsies or
patient injury.
