tion, align the holes on the needle hubs with the posts of the instrument carrier sleds. Partially close
the cover to maintain the position of the needle hubs. Compress the ends of the spacer to release and
remove (see Figure 3). Close the cover.
3. While maintaining the instrument position and needle orientation, move the safety lever from "S" (Safe)
to "F" (Fire, Ready). Depress the trigger button to cause both the stylet and cannula to automatically
advance.
4. Remove the instrument and needle from the patient.
Note: It is not necessary to take the needle out of the instrument to retrieve the core tissue speci-
men.
5. Expose the sample by pulling back the white cocking slide ONCE. Notice the status indicator is one-
half silver, one-half red and the sample notch is exposed. Remove the sample.
6. Energize (cock) the instrument by pulling back the white cocking slide one more time. The status indi-
cator is now red. Take additional biopsies if required. If additional biopsies are NOT being taken, then
remove and discard the needle, release the safety and fire the instrument. The status indicator is now
silver indicating the instrument is not energized.
Note: If collecting multiple samples, inspect the needle for damaged point, bent shaft or other
imperfections after each sample is collected. Do not use the needle if any imperfection is noted.
Bard recommends the Magnum instrument be cleaned and lubricated prior to every use. End-users may
sterilize the instrument after each cleaning and lubrication.

AUTOMATED CLEANING METHOD AND THERMAL DISINFECTION
No particular requirements.
No particular requirements.
Note: To facilitate reprocessing, the Magnum biopsy instrument must be in
the 22mm position with the lid open. This confi guration provides optimal
access to the internal areas for cleaning.
Remove and discard the needle assembly. Further disassembly of the Magnum
instrument is not recommended.
Prepare enough multi-tiered enzymatic cleaner solution (e.g. STERIS
®
EnzyCARE 2 ), following the manufacturer's instructions, to completely cover the
Magnum Instrument.
Allow the instrument to soak in the enzymatic cleaning solution for a minimum of
5 minutes.
Use a sterile syringe to introduce the cleaning solution to the hard-to-reach areas
(e.g. crevices, threads) of the instrument.
Actuate the instrument while in the cleaning solution to ensure the cleaning solution
reaches the hard-to-reach areas.
