Needle Guide Alignment
The alignment of the needle guide displayed on the system is intended to help you to verify whether
the needle and the needle guide are properly installed. This verication must be carried out prior
to the biopsy examination. If the needle is not following the intended path during the verication
process, stop using the biopsy kit and contact Samsung Medison Customer Service for assistance.
Reverberation or tissue artifacts may produce false needle images, which can cause a lack of clarity.
Ensure the needle path is properly aligned with the guideline, and that a correct needle image is used
to locate the needle.
