The Achieve biopsy system from BD gives you the precise control and quality sampling capability you need when working with calcified or fibrous lesions. This lightweight automated system offers spring-loaded action for fast, accurate penetration of dense tissue. It is also available with a coaxial introducer for multiple sampling from one percutaneous puncture with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
The system has two programmable firing modes: automatic and delay mode. In automatic mode, the cannula and stylet release in rapid sequence to capture the specimen with the push of a button. In delay mode, the stylet releases first to allow time for tissue to settle in the sample notch; the clinician then verifies and documents the stylet position, repositions if necessary and activates the cutting cannula.
The Achieve biopsy device is commonly used for the following biopsy procedures:
| Manufacturer Part Number | Manufacturer Name | Gauge Size | Biopsy needle size | Introducer needle size | Usable length |
| CA1820 | Carefusion | 18G | 18G x 20cm | 17G x 15cm | 14cm |
| What MRI safety information does the labeling contain? | Labeling does not contain MRI Safety Information |
| Device required to be labeled as containing natural rubber latex or dry natural rubber (21 CFR 801.437): | No |
| Device labeled as “Not made with natural rubber latex”: | No |
| For Single-Use: | Yes |
| Prescription Use (Rx): | Yes |
| Over the Counter (OTC): | No |
| Kit: | No |
| Combination Product: | No |
| Human Cell, Tissue or Cellular or Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P): | No |
Test firing the needle may damage the cutting cannula and/or stylet tip. Keep fingers or other objects from in front of the needle as it will advance 2.5 cm very rapidly when activated. Never test fire the instrument in an unsafe direction.
To charge the Achieve biopsy device, simply pull back on the charging arm and release twice, first to charge the cutting cannula, the second to charge the inner stylet.
Position the needle tip at or near the edge of the region to be sampled.
Two firing sequence methods are available once the Achieve biopsy device is charged.
To retrieve the tissue sample, hold the instrument with the A and D firing buttons facing up, and pull back and release the charging arm once. This action will retract the outer cutting cannula exposing the stylet notch with the tissue sample.
After the tissue sample is removed, additional samples from the same patient may be obtained by pulling the charging arm a second time, which will retract the stylet within the cutting cannula, placing the Achieve biopsy device once again in a fully charged position. Repeat Steps 3-5. In the automatic mode, the Achieve automatic biopsy device is designed to fire the cannula and stylet in rapid succession. Please exercise caution before proceeding as the device will advance 2.5 cm when activated.
For single use only. Re-use may result in a non-functional product or contribute to cross contamination. Only clinicians who have been properly trained in this procedure, including patient preparation, sample preservation and the use of image guidance for percutaneous biopsy, should use this device.
