5-6
iii. Rotate the probe/holster assembly to orient the sample aperture for the next sample
acquisition.
c. Continue the biopsy procedure at Step 7, removal of the specimen collection chambers from the
device.
Sample Interrupt
The biopsy cycle may be interrupted to avoid unnecessary injury.
a. To interrupt the biopsy cycle, push any button other than BIOPSY when the cutter is retracting
from position 1 to 3 or when the cutter is advancing from 3 to 2. When the biopsy cycle is
interrupted, the cutter retracts to position 3 (Open).
b. The BIOPSY Indicator LED flashes blue.
c. To complete the biopsy cycle, push the BIOPSY button again.
Delivering Fluid to Biopsy Site
a. Ensure the sample aperture is in the OPEN position prior to deliver fluid.
NOTE: Ensure that the collection chamber is attached to probe before saline or fluid delivery.
NOTE: The sample collection chamber must be aligned with the sample tube during saline or
fluids delivery.
b. Attach a standard threaded syringe, with the fluid to be delivered, to the injection port.
c. Rotate the stopcock so the OFF indicator is pointing toward the tubing leading to the control
module.
d. Slowly inject fluid until it appears in the probe’s tubing line on the other side of the probe, near
where the pinch clip is.
NOTE: The fluid space of the axial vacuum line and inner lumen of the U/S probe is
approximately 9 cc for MHUS08 and 8 cc for MHUS10.
e. Move the clamp (pinch clip) on the tubing line as close to the probe as possible and close it to
pinch the line.
f. Inject the needed volume of fluids.
g. Release the clamp once the fluids are delivered to the biopsy site.
h. Remove the syringe.
i. Rotate the stopcock so the OFF indicator is pointing toward the injection port.
PRECAUTION: Failure to have the stopcock in the OFF position may produce a partial tissue
sample or tissue sample of poor quality.
j. Press the VAC button for up to 15 seconds to clear fluids from the probe.
