ATEC ultrasound introducer.

verify that neither has been damaged during shipment. If it appears that the packaging
has been compromised, do not use the device.
3. Carefully remove the ATEC ultrasound introducer from its protective packaging and
remove its protective sheath.
4. If a 9cm ATEC ultrasound introducer is being used with a CeleroMark,SecurMark for
Celero, or SecurMark Ultrasound biopsy site marker, remove the spacer provided in the
packaging and install it onto the biopsy site marker until it engages into place. (Figure 1)

Instructions for Use
1. Identify the target area under ultrasound visualization.
2. Insert the tip of the stylet and advance to the desired location. The echogenic side
aperture will be visible under ultrasound-guidance and should be placed in the same
area of interest where the ATEC handpiece will be used.
Note: The Introducer may be attached directly to the ATEC breast biopsy device to gain
access to the area of interest without use of the stylet.
3. Remove the stylet, leaving the introducer in place. The stylet may be detached from
the introducer by depressing the thumb latch mechanism on the introducer hub.
