Description

The ACHIEVE® Needle Biopsy system is a sophisticated, programmable automatic core needle biopsy device designed for precise and efficient tissue sampling. Its lightweight, spring-loaded construction makes it ideal for obtaining core samples from soft tissues such as the kidney, liver, prostate, spleen, lymph nodes, and breast. This device is particularly suitable for procedures guided by ultrasound or CT imaging, though it is not intended for bone biopsies.

Key Features

• Programmable Firing Modes: Offers versatility with automatic, delay, and zero-throw modes to enhance precision and reduce risk during tissue capture.
• Echogenic Markings: Provides enhanced visibility and precise positioning under ultrasound guidance with markings on both the stylet tip and cannula.
• 20mm Sample Notch: Designed for obtaining larger core samples, complemented by a thin-wall cannula to maximize sample size.

Ergonomic Design

The device is 35% lighter than other automatic biopsy devices, allowing for easy one-handed operation. Its ergonomic design reduces the force required to charge, ensuring smooth and efficient handling.

Coaxial Introducer Compatibility

An optional coaxial introducer enables multiple sampling from a single percutaneous puncture, minimizing tissue damage and ensuring reliable sample retrieval.

Specifications

• Gauge Sizes: Available in 12G, 14G, 16G, 18G, and 20G.
• Lengths: Ranges from 6 cm to 20 cm, varying by gauge.
• Sterility: Each device is sterilized using ethylene oxide and intended for single patient use only.

Packaging

Packaged with five devices per case, the system includes coaxial biopsy options with matching introducer needle sizes.

Handling and Safety

Designed for use by trained clinicians, the device should not be test fired and must be fully discharged before disposal. It is crucial to handle and dispose of the device according to medical regulations, especially in patients with bleeding disorders or those on anticoagulant therapy.

Maintenance

The ACHIEVE® Needle Biopsy system is single-use only and should not be reused or resterilized. Adherence to all provided instructions, including indications, contraindications, warnings, and directions, is essential for safe and effective use.
