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. **Trade Name:** Wilson-Cook Biliary Introducer with Aspiration Biopsy Needle **Common/Usual Name:** Aspiration Biopsy Needle **Classification Name:** Set, Biopsy Needle and Needle, Gastro-Urology 78FCG **Classification:** FDA has classified similar devices as Class II, per 21 CFR § 876.1075.
