Benefits include dual-functionality for aspiration and subsequent instrument delivery.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Samples subjected to visual, dimensional, and functional analysis per internal standard operating procedures. All samples met test specifications. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) catheter, 304 stainless steel needle. Dimensions: 200 cm length, 10 French introduction catheter, 6 French tip, 5 French inner catheter. 22 gauge needle. 2-lumen design. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) validated to SAL 10⁻⁶.

## Regulatory Identification

A gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument is a device used to remove, by cutting or aspiration, a specimen of tissue for microscopic examination. This generic type of device includes the biopsy punch, gastrointestinal mechanical biopsy instrument, suction biopsy instrument, gastro-urology biopsy needle and needle set, and nonelectric biopsy forceps. This section does not apply to biopsy instruments that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.

### Device Description:

The Wilson-Cook Biliary Introducer with Aspiration Biopsy Needle consists of double lumen tubing, a 22 gauge needle and proximal hubs. This device is designed for insertion through the accessory channel of an endoscope, and may be placed over a previously positioned .035” wire guide. The catheter is advanced through the accessory channel, positioning the side ramp below the biopsy site. The needle is advanced and cells are aspirated using a 20 cc syringe. After cell collection, if desired, the needle can be removed, leaving the inner catheter in place for the introduction of other conventional biopsy instruments.
