A charging station for a battery powered biopsy apparatus includes a charging dock having a housing and a charging unit contained in the housing. The charging unit has a set of electrical contacts. The housing is received in a first cavity of a driver assembly with the electrical contacts being coupled in electrical communication with the driver assembly when the driver assembly is mounted on the charging dock for charging. The charging unit provides a signal to the driver assembly to reset the driver assembly to an initialized state when the driver assembly is mounted to the charging station.

1. A charging station for a battery powered biopsy apparatus, said biopsy apparatus including a driver assembly configured for releasable attachment to a biopsy probe assembly, said driver assembly having a battery, an electromechanical drive electrically connected to said battery, and a first housing configured to contain said battery and said electromechanical drive, said first housing configured to be grasped by a user, said first housing having a first cavity, said first cavity of said driver assembly being configured for receiving a second housing of said biopsy probe assembly when said biopsy probe assembly is mounted to said driver assembly, said second housing having a first shape, said electromechanical drive being drivably coupled to the biopsy probe assembly when said biopsy probe assembly is mounted to said driver assembly, said charging station comprising: a charging dock having a third housing and a charging unit contained in said third housing, said charging unit having a set of electrical contacts, said third housing having a second shape, said third housing configured to be received in said first cavity of said driver assembly of said biopsy apparatus with said electrical contacts being coupled in electrical communication with said driver assembly when said driver assembly is mounted on said charging dock for charging; andsaid charging unit configured to provide a signal to said driver assembly to reset said driver assembly to an initialized state when said driver assembly is mounted to said charging station. 2. The charging station of claim 1, wherein said reset of said driver assembly to said initialized state by said charging unit initializes a controller of said driver assembly to preposition components of said electromechanical drive of said driver assembly such that said electromechanical drive is ready to be drivably coupled to said biopsy probe assembly upon removal of said driver assembly from said charging station. 3. The charging station of claim 2, said controller configured to reset said driver assembly to said initialized state when said driver assembly is mounted to said charging station if said driver assembly is in an error state. 4. The charging station of claim 1, wherein said second shape of said third housing of said charging dock is substantially the same as said first shape of said second housing of said biopsy probe assembly. 5. The charging station of claim 1, wherein: said second housing of said biopsy probe assembly is configured to contain a coiling unit, said biopsy probe assembly having a sample basket arranged coaxially within a cutter cannula, with said sample basket being connected to said coiling unit; andsaid third housing configured to contain all electronic components of said charging unit. 6. The charging station of claim 1, comprising a removable cover to which all electronic components of said charging unit are mounted, said third housing of said charging dock having a second cavity such that said all electronic components are positioned internally to said third housing in said second cavity when said removable cover is coupled to said third housing. 7. The charging station of claim 1, wherein: said second housing is configured to contain a coiling unit, said biopsy probe assembly having a sample basket arranged coaxially within a cutter cannula, with said sample basket being connected to said coiling unit; andsaid third housing contains all electronic components of said charging unit. 8. A method for charging a battery operated biopsy apparatus having a driver assembly to which a removable biopsy probe assembly is mounted, said driver assembly having an electromechanical drive electrically connected to a battery contained in said driver assembly, said electromechanical drive being drivably coupled to said biopsy probe assembly when said biopsy probe assembly is mounted to said driver assembly, comprising: providing a signal from a charging station to said driver assembly of said battery operated biopsy apparatus indicating that a connection between first electrical contacts of a charging unit of said charging station and second electrical contacts of said driver assembly has been made;upon receiving said signal from said charging station, determining whether said driver assembly is in an error state, wherein if said error state exists, then resetting said electromechanical drive of said driver assembly to an initialized state in preparation for mounting said biopsy probe assembly to said driver assembly; andcharging a battery of said driver assembly. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein said initialized state prepositions mechanical components of said driver assembly to facilitate a proper mechanical drivable coupling between said driver assembly and said biopsy probe assembly upon removal of said driver assembly from said charging station. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein prior to mounting said driver assembly on said charging station, any biopsy probe assembly installed on said driver assembly must be removed from said driver assembly to vacate a cavity in said driver assembly for receiving a housing of said charging station. 11. A charging station for a battery powered biopsy apparatus, said biopsy apparatus including a driver assembly configured for releasable attachment to a biopsy probe assembly, said driver assembly having a battery, an electromechanical drive electrically connected to said battery, and a first housing that contains said battery and said electromechanical drive, said first housing configured to be grasped by a user, said first housing having a first cavity, said first cavity of said driver assembly being configured for receiving a second housing of said biopsy probe assembly when said biopsy probe assembly is mounted to said driver assembly, said second housing having a first shape, said electromechanical drive being drivably coupled to the biopsy probe assembly when said biopsy probe assembly is mounted to said driver assembly, said charging station comprising: a charging dock having a third housing and a charging unit contained in said third housing, said charging unit having a set of electrical contacts, said third housing having a second shape, said third housing configured to be received in said first cavity of said driver assembly of said biopsy apparatus with said electrical contacts being coupled in electrical communication with said driver assembly when said driver assembly is mounted on said charging dock for charging. 12. The charging station of claim 11, said charging unit configured to reset said driver assembly to an initialized state when said driver assembly is mounted to said charging station. 13. The charging station of claim 12, wherein said driver assembly includes a controller, and wherein said reset of said driver assembly to said initialized state initializes said controller of said driver assembly to preposition components of said electromechanical drive of said driver assembly such that said electromechanical drive is ready to be drivably coupled to said biopsy probe assembly upon removal of said driver assembly from said charging station. 14. The charging station of claim 11, said driver assembly including a controller, said charging unit configured to provide a signal to said controller to reset said driver assembly to an initialized state when said driver assembly is mounted to said charging station if said driver assembly is in an error state. 15. The charging station of claim 11, wherein said second shape of said third housing of said charging dock is substantially the same as said first shape of said second housing of said biopsy probe assembly. 16. The charging station of claim 11, comprising a removable cover to which all electronic components of said charging unit are mounted, said third housing having a second cavity configured such that said all electronic components are positioned internally to said third housing in said second cavity when said removable cover is coupled to said third housing.
