is not guaranteed because of an indeterminable degree of potential pyrogenic or microbial
contamination which may lead to infectious complications. Cleaning, reprocessing and/
or resterilizing the probe increases the probability that it will malfunction due to potential
position relative to the target region to be sampled and to help mitigate the occurrence of a
false negative biopsy.

F. Potential Complications
1.
Potential complications are those associated with any percutaneous removal/biopsy technique for
tissue collection. Potential complications are limited to the region surrounding the biopsy site and
include hematoma, hemorrhage, infection, a non-healing wound, pain and tissue adherence to the
biopsy probe while removing it from the breast.
2.
As per routine biopsy procedures, it may be necessary to cut tissue adhering to the biopsy probe
while removing it from the breast.
