Publication number: 20230034865Abstract: A biopsy system includes a biopsy device, a control module, and a tissue transport tube. The biopsy device includes a probe, a needle, a cutter, and a transport valve. The needle extends distally from the probe. The cutter is movable relative to the needle and defines a cutter lumen. The holster is configured to couple to the probe. The transport valve is in communication with the cutter lumen. The control module is in communication with the biopsy device and includes a sample management assembly configured to receive one or more tissue samples severed by the cutter. The transport tube extends between the sample management assembly and the biopsy device. The transport tube is in communication with the transport valve such that the transport tube is configured to receive the one or more tissue samples severed by the cutter.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Bryan R. Keller, John Kevin Bruce, Peter Shadix, Rachel Yoon Choung, David Shuart, Jordan Rebellino, Andrew Paul Nock, Bryan Superville

Patent number: 10463348Abstract: A biopsy device holder includes a needle holder, a distal holder, and a proximal holder. The needle holder includes an elongated housing extending between an open proximal end and a distal end. The needle holder is adapted to releasably receive the biopsy device through the open proximal end. The elongated housing includes a coupler configured to couple the needle holder to the biopsy device. The distal holder includes an opening configured to pivotably receive the distal end of the needle holder. The proximal holder includes a longitudinal stop that engages with a portion of the needle holder to prevent the needle holder from proximal longitudinal movement. The longitudinal stop is configured to disengage the coupler of the needle holder from the biopsy device when the biopsy device is moved proximally in a longitudinal direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Devicor Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: David Shuart, Andrew Paul Nock, Andrew Robinson, Rachel Yoon Choung, Mark Graham

Publication number: 20180185111Abstract: A biopsy system includes a cart and a biopsy device holder. The biopsy device holder is coupled to the cart. The biopsy device holder includes a front holder portion and a rear holder portion. Each holder portion defines an upper support and a lower support. The upper support is configured to support a first biopsy device in lieu of the second biopsy device. The lower support is configured to support a second biopsy device in lieu of the first biopsy device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2017Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: David Shuart, Jordan Rebellino, Andrew Robinson, Jodi Hafemeister, Gary Wagner, Rachel Choung, Emmanuel Tanghal, Umashankar Chockalingam

Publication number: 20070297870Abstract: A self-attaching nut for attachment to a panel including a central pilot portion having a generally cylindrical outer surface, a flange portion surrounding the outer surface of the pilot portion including an annular groove surrounding the pilot portion having a substantially V-shaped bottom wall and a generally planar panel support surface surrounding the annular groove. The panel support surface includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial ribs extending into the annular groove, but spaced from the outer surface of the pilot portion. The grooves may be convex or concave or a combination of convex and concave grooves. In one embodiment, the nuts are rectangular and the back face include two pair of transverse linear grooves for interconnection by frangible wires in side to side relation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: John Vrana, David Shuart, John Parker
