11. Perform the puncture by sliding the needle through the groove in the guide until the
needle, as shown on the display, intercepts the target.
12. If you are using a biopsy guide bracket and procedure kit, you can remove the transducer
from the patient while the needle is still inserted in the patient: Separate the needle from
the biopsy guide by pulling the tab up so that the clip snaps out of the needle guide,
allowing the clip (still attached to the needle) and needle to separate from the biopsy guide
(still attached to the transducer).
13. Remove the biopsy guide after use.
