ATEC® Set Up and Use (continued)
Disposing of the ATEC® Handpiece and Clean Up
These steps are not a substitute for the ATEC®system Instructions for Use, but are intended to serve
only as a quick reference in the set up and use of the ATEC®Breast Biopsy and Excision System.
The system also has a “MANUAL
ASPIRATION” option that evacuates/vacuums
(w/o saline) the biopsy cavity when
depressing the footswitch.
When powering on or
while in the “TEST”
mode, if “RETEST HP”
light is flashing,
press “TEST” again.
If this does not correct
the problem, replace the
ATEC
®
handpiece and
go back through the set up procedure. Do
not dispose of the failed ATEC
®
handpiece.
You must keep the ATEC
®
handpiece that
failed and return it to Suros for evaluation.
Suros Customer Support can assist you with
product return procedures. If the second
ATEC
®
handpiece fails, return both ATEC
®
handpieces for evaluation and call Suros
Customer Support immediately.
*SECTION TEST: The “SECTION TEST” refers to the exercise of
starting at the vacuum source and closing off openings systematically
from the console to the ATEC
®
handpiece to find the source of a
vacuum leak. Your Suros Clinical Education Specialist will train
you on this procedure at the time of in-service.
