DevIce DescrIptIon

The Expect Slimline (SL) Endoscopic Ultrasound Aspiration Needle is an
endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needle that can be coupled to the biopsy
channel of a Curvilinear Array (CLA) Echoendoscope with a standard luer
connection and delivered into the digestive tract. The device sheath length can be
adjusted to accommodate different model echoendoscopes.
The needle is used to acquire aspiration samples from lesions and provide therapy
within and adjacent to the digestive system's major lumens that can be identified
and targeted using the echoendoscope. Both the sheath and needle length
can be adjusted based on distance to the target lesion. The sheath and needle
length adjustments are set and locked by the physician by using the locking knob
mechanisms on the handle of the device.
An aspiration sample is obtained by penetrating the lesion with the needle while
applying suction and manipulating the needle in a back and forth motion to
aspirate cytology samples into the needle. The sample can be prepared per normal
institutional protocol.
The Expect Slimline (SL) Needle has echogenic (visible under ultrasound) features
at the distal end to facilitate real time visualization of the device under ultrasound.

IntenDeD Use/InDIcatIons for Use

The Expect Slimline (SL) Needle is designed to sample targeted submucosal and
extramural gastrointestinal lesions through the accessory channel of a curvilinear
echoendoscope. It can also be used for delivery of injectable materials (fluids) or
fiducials into tissue or for passage of accessory devices.

contraInDIcatIons

Contraindications for this device are those specific to the primary endoscopic
procedure to be performed in gaining access to the desired site. Relative
contraindications to submucosal and extramural aspiration include, but are not
limited to: coagulopathy.

warnInGs

The Expect Slimline (SL) Endoscopic Ultrasound Aspiration Needle should only
be used to sample tissue where possible hemorrhage will not present a danger
to patients. The device should be used with caution and only after careful
consideration in patients with elevated bleeding times or coagulopathies.
Not for use in the heart or vascular system.
