Quick Reference Guide

After cleaning and disinfecting, place the holster into the charging base. The

holster will emit a two-tone beep to indicate correct placement into the base.

When charging, set the holster on top

of this guide for quick, easy reference.

Holster On Charger

SOLID = Battery is fully charged.

FLASH = Battery is charging.

FLASH = Battery is charging. Holster must remain on charging base.

Holster Not On Charger

SOLID = Sufcient charge available to complete one or more procedure(s).

FLASH = Sufcient charge available to complete one procedure.

SOLID = Insufcient charge. Return holster to charging base.

Troubleshooting

Charging the Holster

Needle Rotation (optional)

Pull the needle rotation knob out (B). Then rotate to desired clock position

and release (C).

Step 1

Grasp the probe body and align the alignment tab with the holster

notch (A). Push the probe base into the holster while maintaining the

alignment (B).

Step 2

Push the probe body firmly into the holster until a click is heard,

indicating the locking tabs have engaged the holster (C).

Note: Automatic initialization will begin.

Interrupting the Biopsy Cycle

Interrupt a biopsy cycle (as described below) leaving the aperture

exposed (A). Use a sterile syringe to insert 0.5cc of saline into the

needle aperture (approximately 7-10 drops). Press the active biopsy

button to advance the cutter.

Push the active biopsy button once to initiate the biopsy cycle. To

interrupt the biopsy cycle, push the active biopsy button again when

the cutter is retracting from position 1 to 3 (B) or when the cutter is

advancing from position 3 to 2. The cutter will retract to position 3,

and the biopsy indicator light will ash orange. Complete the cycle by

pushing the active biopsy button.

Introduce the probe through the incision and position the probe tip in

the target area with the tip past the lesion. Imaging guidance should be

used as appropriate. Push the active biopsy button on the holster once to

acquire a tissue sample. The biopsy cycle proceeds: a vacuum is created,

the inner cutter of the probe is retracted, tissue is drawn into the aperture,

and the cutter rotates and translates forward, cutting tissue (A).

When the cutter reaches the distal end of the aperture, the vacuum will

transport the sample to the specimen collection cup.

Ensure the probe is attached to the holster. Press and hold the

two inactive biopsy buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

There will be an audible indicator and all three indicator lights will

ash green (A).

Press and release the desired active biopsy button. The active

biopsy button is stored in the device for future use (B).

Please read the full Instructions For Use before using this product.

If the holster is left undisturbed for 10 minutes after loading a probe,

the holster will enter a sleep mode to conserve battery charge. During

sleep mode, the biopsy and battery indicator lights will turn off and the

buttons will be inactive. Once the holster is moved, the device will wake

from sleep mode. Any time the holster is motionless for one hour with

or without a probe attached, the holster will go into a deep sleep mode.

Place the holster into the charging base without the probe and remove

from the charging base to turn the holster back on.

Disconnect the integrated coaxial cannula and remove the probe by

pressing the coaxial release button, leaving the cannula in place.

Tissue Sampling Procedure

Step 1

Rotate the specimen collection cap counterclockwise 1/4 turn (A).

Step 2

Remove the cap and tissue basket together (B).

Step 3

Press the tissue basket release button to remove the tissue basket from

the specimen collection cap for ease of transport to pathology (C).

Note: Sterile forceps may be used to aid in removing the samples from the

tissue basket, if needed.

While pressing down on the probe’s locking tabs, pull the probe out of the

holster cavity (A). Dispose of the probe in accordance with the institution’s

policy for infectious waste disposal (B).
