Indications
The ATEC Breast Biopsy and Excision System is indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities. The ATEC Breast Biopsy and Excision System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality. The extent of histologic abnormality cannot be reliably determined from its mammographic appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedure.
Contraindications
1. The ATEC Breast Biopsy and Excision System is for diagnostic purposes only and is not intended for therapeutic applications. 2. The ATEC Breast Biopsy and Excision System is contraindicated for those patients who, based on the physician’s judgment, may be at increased risk or develop complications associated with core removal or biopsy. Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy or who may have bleeding disorders may be considered at increased risk of procedural complications.
Notes on the MRI Environment
1. The console may be used to perform biopsies under ultrasound (U/S), stereotactic (STX) or MRI guidance. 2. The console is NOT intended for use inside the MRI suite. The ATEC Sapphire console must reside outside of the MRI suite. Turn the console power off during MRI imaging to avoid the possibility of image distortion. 3. The ATEC MRI footswitch, ATEC MRI handpiece and ATEC MRI Introducer Localization System (ILS) are specifically designed for use in the MRI suite. Items which may be brought into the MRI suite will be marked with the “MRI Conditional” symbol. 4. Hologic offers a variety of disposable handpiece configurations. However, when performing MRI-guided breast biopsy procedures, an ATEC MRI handpiece MUST be used. ATEC handpieces designed for use with MRI guidance are compatible with the red receptacle marked “MRI” on the console. The ATEC MRI Introducer Localization System (ILS) is available for localizing the area targeted for biopsy. 5. An overview of the products suited for MRI, Stereotactic (STX) and Ultrasound (U/S) guided biopsy procedures is included in the Components section.
Notes on the Stereotactic and Ultrasound Environment
1. Handpieces designed for use with stereotactic (STX) and ultrasound (U/S) guidance are compatible with the red receptacle marked “US/STX” on the console. 2. The particular handpiece selected for use with ultrasound (U/S) and stereotactic (STX) guidance depends on user preference and the type of stereotactic (STX) system being used. Please refer to the Disposable Product Selection section of this manual for additional guidance.
