Performing Puncture and Biopsy
Transcutaneous Biopsy
Cover the transducer with a sterile transducer cover.
If the transducer cover is damaged when attaching the puncture attachment, replace
it with a new cover.
WARNING
It is essential for the patient’s safety that only the correct puncture attachments, as
described in this guide, are used. Never use unauthorized combinations of transducers
and puncture attachments or other manufacturers puncture attachments.
Before beginning a puncture or biopsy procedure, always check that the type number of
the transducer and the type number or description of the puncture attachment match
exactly those displayed on the scanner monitor.

The puncture line on the scan image is an indication of the expected needle path. The
needle tip echo should be monitored at all times so any deviation from the desired path
can be corrected.
