• Turn stopcock 90 to "closed" position.
• Pull plunger back until it is locked into place at desired setting, creating a suction.
• Set prepared syringe aside until aspiration biopsy is desired.

  Note: Reference mark for sheath length will appear in sliding sheath adjuster window. Tighten thumbscrew on sliding sheath adjuster to maintain preferred sheath length.
