8818 User Guide (BB1505-F) 3D Imaging 17
To remove the puncture line from the image, refer to the applicable system user guide
for instructions.
Cleaning after Puncture and Biopsy
If biological materials are allowed to dry on the transducer, disinfection and
sterilization processes may not be effective. Therefore, you must clean transducers
immediately after use.
Use a suitable brush to make sure that biological material and gel are removed from
all channels and grooves. See Care, Cleaning & Safety for cleaning instructions.
3D Imaging
3D imaging with the 8818 may be carried out in either of two ways:
• Freehand – where the transducer is combined with the appropriate 3D system
software.
• Using mover support – where the transducer is combined with the appropriate
3D system software, the Magnetic Wheel Mover UA0513 and the Variable
Friction Arm UA0553.
Magnetic Wheel Mover UA0513
Further information about the Magnetic Wheel Mover UA0513 can be found in the
user guide for the Magnetic Wheel Mover.
Variable Friction Support Arm UA0553
Further information about the Variable Friction Support Arm UA0553 can be found
in the user guide for the Variable Friction Support Arm.
Disposal
When the transducer is scrapped at the end of its life, national rules for the relevant
material in each individual land must be followed. Within the EU, when you discard
the transducer, you must send it to appropriate facilities for recovery and recycling.
See the applicable system user guide for further details.
WARNING
If the needle guide is detached from the transducer during interventional procedures, cover
the transducer with a new transducer cover.
If the cover is damaged during interventional procedures, follow the policies of the hospital
or clinic for treatment of the patient under such circumstances.
WARNING
When performing a biopsy, always make sure that the needle is fully drawn back inside the
needle guide before moving the probe.
