Chapter 1: Introduction
MAN-04303-002 Revision 006 Page 1
1: Introduction
1.1 Preface
Read all this information carefully before installation and operation. Follow all warnings
and precautions as stated in this manual. Keep this manual available during procedures.
Physicians should tell patients about all potential risks and adverse events described in
this manual with respect to the operation of the system.
1.2 Indications for Use
Caution: United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
The Hologic®Brevera®breast biopsy system with CorLumina®imaging technology is
intended to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast
abnormalities. The Brevera breast biopsy system excises targeted tissue and optionally
delivers in-line radiographic images of the excised tissue. The Brevera breast biopsy
system is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or
complete removal of the imaged abnormality. In instances when a patient presents with a
palpable abnormality that has been classified as benign through clinical and/or
radiological criteria (for example, fibroadenoma, fibrocystic lesion), the Brevera breast
biopsy system may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. The extent of
histologic abnormality cannot be reliably determined from its mammographic
appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality
does not predict the extent of removal of histological abnormality, for example,
malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential
that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical
procedure.
1.3 Contraindications
•The Brevera breast biopsy system with CorLumina imaging technology is not
intended for therapeutic applications.
•The Brevera breast biopsy system with CorLumina imaging technology is
contraindicated for those patients who, based on the physician’s judgment, may be at
increased risk or develop complications associated with core removal or biopsy.
Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy or who may have bleeding disorders may
be considered at increased risk of procedural complications.
1.4 Essential Performance
The essential performance of the Brevera breast biopsy system is to maintain compliance
with IEC 61010-2-91:2012 to prevent exposure of the patient, operator, or other
individuals to unacceptable levels of X-ray radiation.

1.5 System Capabilities
The Hologic Brevera breast biopsy system with CorLumina imaging technology is a
vacuum-assisted biopsy device which is used to remove breast tissue in a minimally
invasive manner using stereotactic or tomosynthesis imaging. The system is designed for
biopsy and for specimen radiographic image acquisition and display only. The system is
NOT intended to be used outside the standards, specifications, and limitations outlined
in these instructions for use.
The Brevera biopsy needle is single-use and is disposable. The user connects the biopsy
needle to a reusable device driver and connects the biopsy device components to the
console. The biopsy needle primarily consists of a hollow needle with a side aperture and
a sharpened inner cannula that, when connected to the Brevera breast biopsy system,
rotates and extends across the aperture to acquire targeted tissue. The Brevera device
driver contains mechanical and electrical components that drive needle rotation and
advancement. During the biopsy process, vacuum created inside the biopsy device pulls
tissue into the aperture. The cannula translates and rotates to cut the tissue. The tissue
sample is then aspirated through a tubing line to a tissue filter. Saline is supplied through
the biopsy device to lavage the cavity and deliver tissue to the tissue filter.
When the Brevera biopsy needle is connected to the Brevera device driver, the
combination is referred to as the Brevera breast biopsy device.
An introducer system, specifically designed for use with the Brevera breast biopsy
system, is packaged with the biopsy needle. This introducer maintains access to the
targeted area of interest and allows for deployment of a biopsy site marker. The
introducer is used to control the variable aperture function of the device. The introducer
also prohibits the user from administering medication through the Y-site in the tubing
while the device is in the armed (pre-fire) position.
The Brevera breast biopsy system with CorLumina imaging technology acquires and
displays the radiographic images of core specimens contained in the tissue filter. A tissue
filter, specifically designed for use with the Brevera breast biopsy system, is provided
with the biopsy needle. The Brevera breast biopsy system with CorLumina imaging
technology also has the capability to display images as well as to transfer these images to
external devices. The images acquired with this system are intended to confirm removal
of tissue from a suspected lesion or pathology. The system is not intended for diagnostic
purposes.
Radiology technologists, surgical personnel, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists can
use the specimen radiography equipment in the Brevera breast biopsy system with
CorLumina imaging technology.
Hologic recommends that users receive training in basic ionizing radiation safety before
using the system.
