Product catalog summary

Overview: The BYM 3D is a stereotactic system designed for mammography, enabling precise needle positioning for biopsies of non-palpable lesions. It utilizes stereographic principles to enhance accuracy and efficiency in biopsy procedures.

Specifications:

The system comprises two main units: the Needle Placement Unit (NPU) and the Processing Unit (PU).
The NPU includes automatic needle positioning support, a compression paddle, and a film-holder, allowing for +/- 15-degree rotation.
The PU processes coordinates from radiograms and calculates the 3D coordinates for needle placement.
Dimensions: NPU - 485 x 540 x 600 mm, 15 kg; PU - 520 x 375 x 150 mm, 10 kg.
Power Supply: 220 V - 50 Hz / 60 Hz.

Operational Procedure:

Position and compress the patient's breast based on a prior x-ray showing the lesion area.
Perform two radiograms at +15° and -15° angles.
Input lesion coordinates into the microprocessor, which calculates the 3D coordinates and suggests needle length.
Insert a sterilized adapter for the needle.
Introduce the needle for biopsy or pre-surgery marking, with movement restrictions for safety.
Verify needle position with additional radiograms.
Conduct the biopsy, with the option to adjust the needle's 'z' position via remote control.
Reset needle support and decompress the breast.

Features and Benefits:

Automatic operations significantly reduce biopsy time compared to manual systems, enhancing patient comfort and department efficiency.
Optional DIGITAL BYM system allows dual acquisition (Film/Digital) and automatic detection, minimizing human error.
A graphical display with icons simplifies device operation.
A mechanical security device ensures safety in case of power failure.

The BYM 3D stereotactic system, developed following stereographic principles, enables the operator to know exactly where the needle have to be positioned when he performs operations. On request, are available all a series of holders fittable with several size needles and biopsy guns. BYM 3D has a microprocessor that automatically positions the needle support, in a particular point in the space, only after two radiological exams to the patient breast, from two determined positions. The BYM 3D is equipped with a signal system which inform the operator on the risk of hit between the needle and the...
