For guided procedures with other transducers, users are advised that they must verify that the path of the needle is accurately indicated by the on-screen guidelines. The needle guide is ready for patient use only after the path of the needle has been verified. Also, users are reminded of the following warnings: - The biopsy guidelines that display on the system monitor are not intended as an absolute reference. It is the user's responsibility to verify correct positioning of the needle during a biopsy or puncture procedure. - Do not use a needle guide if the path of the needle is not accurately indicated by the on-screen guidelines. The path of the needle must display within the guideline. Users are advised to contact their Siemens service representative if the needle path is not accurately indicated.
