BIOPSY DEVICE WITH MANIFOLD ALIGNMENT FEATURE AND TISSUE SENSOR

摘要

The biopsy system includes a needle, a movable cutter relative to the needle to cut tissue, a processing module, a tissue sensor and an indicator. The tissue sensor is operable to sense tissue samples that have been cut by the cutter. The processing module is operable to drive the indicator based on information from the tissue sensor. The indicator may comprise an acoustic indicator and / or a visual indicator. The indication provided by the indicator may be different based on the sensed quality of the tissue sample. The indicator may be integrated into the biopsy device or provided as part of a remote unit. The biopsy system may also include a multi-chamber tissue sample holder. The graphical user interface indicates that the chamber of the tissue sample holder is occupied by the tissue sample.
