Description

The ACHIEVE® Programmable Automatic Biopsy System is an advanced tool designed for precise and efficient core needle biopsies of soft tissues. Its lightweight, spring-loaded mechanism allows for easy handling, making it 35% lighter than comparable devices. This ergonomic design facilitates one-handed operation, enabling clinicians to manage the device alongside ultrasound transducers seamlessly.

Key Features

• Programmable Firing Modes: Offers three modes—Automatic, Delay, and Zero-Throw—providing flexibility and precision during biopsies. These modes enhance control over the stylet and cannula release, improving sample accuracy and reducing risk to surrounding tissues.

• Echogenic Markings: Both the stylet tip and cannula are equipped with echogenic markings, ensuring accurate positioning under ultrasound guidance.

• Sample Notch and Cannula Design: Features a 20mm sample notch and a thin-wall cannula, designed to obtain larger core samples effectively.

Needle Options

Available in various gauge sizes (20G to 12G) and lengths (6cm to 20cm), the system accommodates different biopsy needs. The optional coaxial introducer allows multiple samples from a single puncture, minimizing tissue damage.

Intended Use

Ideal for biopsies of the breast, kidney, liver, prostate, spleen, and lymph nodes, the device is intended for use with ultrasound and CT guidance. It is designed for clinicians trained in percutaneous biopsy procedures.

Safety and Maintenance

The device is single-use and supplied sterile, with no option for resterilization. Proper handling and disposal following standard medical protocols are essential to maintain safety and effectiveness.
