Read the Directions for use that accompany the product

for more detailed instructions.

1. Introduce the needle through the incision and, using firm pressure, slowly

advance the needle while rotating it 45° in an alternating clockwise/counter-

clockwise motion. (A) Entrance into the marrow cavity is generally detected by

decreased resistance.

2. Unscrew the cap, and pull the stylet out of the handle.

3. With the stylet removed, slowly advance the needle with a slight

clockwise/counter-clockwise motion until adequate marrow is obtained.

Note: Sample architecture may be damaged with excessive

clockwise/counter-clockwise movement.

4. With a quick motion, rotate the needle 360° 10 times to the right

and 10 times to the left while applying light downward pressure

to allow the tapered tip to help sever the biopsy specimen.

5. Pull the needle back 2 or 3 mm and, with minimal pressure, direct its tip at a

slightly different angle. Advance the needle 2 or 3 mm farther, and rotate it 360°

two more times. This step helps complete the separation of the specimen before

the needle is withdrawn. (B)

Caution: Applying too much pressure while redirecting the needle may bend the

needle. Redirecting the needle beyond 20° may cause the needle to bend

or break.

6. Slowly remove the needle with the same 45° clockwise/counter-clockwise motion.

7. Insert the probe into the distal cannula tip to remove the biopsy specimen. (C)
