Performing a Biopsy Using Ultrasound Guidance
There is no additional equipment needed to perform a biopsy.
NOTE:
For other Imaging Modalities and Equipment, contact your Hologic Representative or Distributor.
ATEC Handpiece Operating Instructions
1. To administer preferred anesthetic, attach a 10cc needleless syringe of anesthetic to Y-valve. To initiate automatic
delivery of anesthetic, inject 1-2cc of anesthetic manually.
2. To begin tissue acquisition, press down on the footswitch and hold in the depressed position throughout the biopsy
procedure. Removing your foot from the footswitch will inactivate or stop the device after completing the current cycle.
3. To rotate the aperture on the outer cannula of the handpiece, rotate the handpiece from one position to the next desired
position as the console beeps until the desired target area has been sampled. The clock dial on the handpiece indicates
the position of the aperture. The arrow head printed on the handpiece indicates the 12 o’clock position.
4. To irrigate and aspirate the cavity and clear the handpiece tissue, select “Lavage” mode. It is not necessary to depress
the footswitch.
5. To vacuum the cavity in “Lavage” mode, disconnect the luer lock of Y-valve to open the saline line to the vent to
atmosphere resulting in constant aspiration of the biopsy cavity.
6. Alternately, to vacuum the cavity, select “Manual Aspiration” mode and depress the footswitch. Removing your foot from
the footswitch will inactivate or stop vacuum to the handpiece.
7. Disconnect the filter chamber to remove the tissue cores from the tissue filter.
8. To deploy a biopsy site marker, refer to the Hologic marker of choice Instructions for Use (IFU).
(If using an ATEC Stereotactic Adapter)
9. Place the console in “Biopsy” mode in order to close the aperture prior to removal of the hand- piece from the biopsy
cavity.
10. Slide the adapter with handpiece back.
11. Unlock the retaining clamp and remove the handpiece from the adapter.
