4-2. Operation

Mount a probe cover according to 4-1, apply sterile ultrasound gel to either the ultrasonic radiation part or the body of
the patient, and place the ultrasonic radiation part of the probe onto the skin surface. An image of the region of interest
is displayed on the monitor of the ultrasound diagnostic instrument. For details on displaying and adjusting the image,
refer to the documentation supplied with the ultrasound diagnostic instrument.
Fix the probe firmly and perform a puncture by inserting a needle to the needle insertion groove. Confirm that the
puncture guideline which corresponds to the insertion angle is displayed. Figure 14 indicates the relationship between
the insertion angle and the guideline. If the probe is needed to be released from the biopsy attachment during puncture,
release the needle insert as indicated in Figure 15 and then release the probe.
