16. Needle Mark Display
This system can display the needle mark for the specified biopsy adapter on the screen.
Biopsy procedures must be performed with extreme care to prevent the induction of
tissue necrosis, neurological disorders, infectious diseases, and other such problems.
The clinical technique should be determined after consultation with the specialists
concerned.
WARNING:
1. To perform biopsy procedures while observing
ultrasound images, a thorough understanding of
ultrasound diagnosis and adequate training in biopsy
procedures are required.
Biopsy procedures are safer when performed using
image observation than when performed without images.
However, 100% safety and reliability cannot be assured
even when performing biopsy procedures using image
observation.
If biopsy procedures are performed without proper
knowledge or training, they may be performed incorrectly
and cause various patient side effects.
2. In the situations listed below, the biopsy needle may fail
to reach the target. Incorrect biopsy may cause various
patient side effects.
• A biopsy procedure is performed without adequate
skills.
• A biopsy adapter other than that specified is used.
• The biopsy adapter is mounted at an incorrect
position.
• A biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the purpose of
the biopsy is used.
• A biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the biopsy
adapter is used.
• The image is frozen but it goes unnoticed, and the
biopsy procedure is continued.
• The position of the biopsy needle end is
misinterpreted on the image.
3. Before and after a biopsy procedure is performed,
confirm that there are no abnormalities with the biopsy
adapter. If an abnormal biopsy adapter is used, the
patient may be injured.
