Description

The Achieve Needle Biopsy system by Carefusion is an advanced tool designed for precision in core tissue sampling. This lightweight, spring-loaded device is engineered for use in challenging lesions, including calcified or fibrous areas, making it ideal for both ultrasound and CT-guided procedures.

Key Features

• Programmable Firing Modes: Offers versatility with automatic, delay, and zero-throw modes to enhance precision and safety.
• Lightweight Design: 35% lighter than comparable devices, allowing for easy one-handed operation and reduced charging force.
• Echogenic Markings: Provides precise positioning with ultrasound, enhancing accuracy.

Design and Usability

The device features a thin-wall cannula for larger core samples and a 20mm sample notch. Its echogenic markings on both the stylet tip and cannula ensure precise positioning. The availability of a coaxial introducer allows for multiple sampling from a single puncture, minimizing tissue damage.

Intended Use

This biopsy system is suitable for soft tissue biopsies in organs such as the breast, kidney, liver, prostate, spleen, and lymph nodes. It is not intended for bone use. The device is single-use, sterile, and should be handled by trained clinicians, with proper disposal as a biohazard.

Available Configurations

• Needle Gauges: 20G, 18G, 16G, 14G, 12G
• Lengths: Various lengths, including specific configurations like 16G x 9cm and 18G x 11cm
• Packaging: Available with or without a coaxial introducer, packaged as five devices per case

The Achieve Needle Biopsy system stands out for its ergonomic design and advanced features, offering clinicians a reliable tool for effective and safe tissue sampling.
