## Indications for use
The Biopsy Needle is intended for use in obtaining core biopsy samples from soft tissue such as kidney, liver, prostrate, spleen, lymph nodes, and various soft tissue masses. Not intended for use in bone. The Biopsy Needle is also indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities. It is designed to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality. The extent of histologic abnormality cannot be reliably determined from its mammographic appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality (e.g., malignancy). When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
