MN1-5821 Rev. 4 3. Preparations before use This chapter describes preparations needed to use the probe safely. Please prepare the probe prior to each use by following the instructions below. 3-1. Preparation for probe 3-1-1. Visual check Visually check the probe tip, ultrasonic radiation part, cable, and connector. If any holes, indentations, abrasion, cracks, deformation, looseness, discoloration, or other abnormalities are found, do not use the probe.
MN1-5821 Rev. 4 3-2. Preparation for the biopsy attachment 3-2-1. Inspection for the biopsy Attachment Visually inspect the biopsy attachment for any break, deformation, crack or denaturalization. If you find any damage, do not use them and contact our office written on the back cover. 3-2-2.
MN1-5821 Rev. 4 4. Operation This chapter describes how to attach a probe cover and the biopsy attachment to the probe, the operation of the probe, and how to attach/release the magnetic position sensor and magnetic position sensor attachment. 4-1. How to attach a probe cover and the biopsy attachment (1) Apply sterile ultrasound gel to the ultrasonic radiation part (Figure 4).

MN1-5821 Rev. 4 (4) Assemble the needle Insert to the needle guide (Figure 7). Be sure that the gauze size engraved on each parts is same. Open the biopsy attachment mounting arm outward to attach the biopsy attachment to the probe (Figure 8). (5) Place the projected parts of the attachment on the grooves of the probe in order to attach the biopsy attachment to the probe.

MN1-5821 Rev. 4 (8) Confirm that the probe cover does not interfere with the needle path by inserting a needle in each needle insertion groove (Figure 12). (9) Confirm that the biopsy attachment is properly attached to the probe (Figure 13). Visually inspect that there is no hole or tear in the probe cover.
MN1-5821 Rev. 4 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.

MN1-5821 Rev. 4 4-3. How to attach/release the magnetic position sensor and the magnetic position sensor attachment This section provides the procedure to attach the magnetic position sensor and the magnetic position sensor attachment to the probe. Note that a probe cover is mounted after attaching these devices to the probe. After use, reverse the procedure to remove these devices from the probe.
