BNX Fine Needle Aspiration System: The device is used to sample targeted sub-mucosal and extramural gastrontestinal lesions through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e., automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle sticks. The 19Ga. and 22Ga. BNX™ ASPIRATION Needles are also intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures. Shark Core Fine Needle Biopsy System: The device is used with an ultrasound endoscope for fine needle biopsy (FNB) of submucosal lesions, mediastinal masses, lymph nodes and intraperitoneal masses within or adiacent to the gastrointestinal tract. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e., automatic) safety shelding feature to aid in the prevention of needle sticks.

The BNX FNA / SharkCore FNB Systems are sterile, single patient use endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needles. The devices consists of the Beacon Endoscopic Ultrasound Delivery System and either the BNX Fine Needle Aspiration Needle or the SharkCore Fine Needle Biopsy Needle which are assembled before insertion through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The devices are offered with needle sizes of 19, 22 and 25 gauge. The BNX FNA / SharkCore FNB Systems have an integrated needle protection shield that automatically engages over the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. In this manner, the needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks.

The SharkCore™ Fine Needle Biopsy System is used with an ultrasound endoscope for fine needle biopsy (FNB), of submucosal lesions, mediastinal masses, lymph nodes and intaperitoneal masses within or adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e., automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.

The SharkCore™ Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) System is an echogenic biopsy needle used through the instrument channel of an ultrasound imaging endoscope. The system is used to sample targeted submucosal and extramural gastrointestinal lesions through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The SharkCore™ Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) System is modular in design consisting of two major components; i.e., a delivery system (Beacon™ EUS Delivery System) and a separate exchangeable needle sub-assembly (SharkCore™ FNB Needle).

The BNX FNA System is used to sample targeted sub-mucosal and extramural gastrointestinal lesions through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e., automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.

The BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System is a sterile, single patient use endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needle. The device consists of the BNX Aspiration Delivery System and BNX Aspiration Needle which are assembled before insertion through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The needle is used to acquire aspiration samples from lesions targeted using an ultrasound endoscope. An aspiration sample is obtained by penetrating the lesions with the needle while applying suction. The device is offered with needle sizes of 19, 22 and 25 gauge. The BNX FNA System has an integrated needle protection shield that automatically engages over the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. In this manner, the needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks. The referenced BNX FNA device incorporates a long stiff metallic needle with stylet housed in a sheath with handle assembly. The handle is screwed onto the luer-lock connection of the endoscope. The needle is manipulated by a handle piston which is locked and unlocked by means of a screw to avoid advancement of the needle during introduction and withdrawal of the biopsy assembly. The tips of the Aspiration Needles are etched for enhanced ultrasonic needle visualization. Tissue samples are acquired into the lumen of the needle via applied suction using a standard hypodermic syringe. The BNX FNA System is modular in design, i.e., the sheath and handle assembly are incorporated in a Delivery System as a separate component from the Aspiration Needle/stylet assembly. The modular design facilitates exchange of any size aspiration needle as the needle can be removed from the scope without requiring that the handle be disconnected. Additionally, the BNX FNA System has an integrated needle protection shield as a sharps injury protection feature that automatically engages over the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. In this manner, the needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks. If a second sample acquisition cycle is required, the needle protector shield is captured within the handle housing to be actuated during the next needle removal cycle.
