Boston Scientific M00552350 Acquire Pulmonary FNB Device - 22 Gauge, Olympus Compatible

Boston Scientific Acquire™ Pulmonary FNB | 22G | M00552350

The Boston Scientific Acquire™ (M00552350) represents the 2026 clinical standard for Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Biopsy (EBUS-FNB). Unlike conventional aspiration needles that primarily collect cytologic samples (individual cells), the Acquire™ is engineered for Fine Needle Biopsy, utilizing a specialized Franseen tip to shear and capture intact tissue cores.

By preserving tissue architecture, this device is instrumental for the complex diagnostics required in modern thoracic medicine, including sub-typing of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), lymphoma staging, and providing sufficient material for PD-L1 and NGS molecular profiling.

Key Performance Features

• Specialized Franseen Tip: Features a precision-engineered 3-point cutting edge. This geometry maximizes the volume of tissue captured per pass by facilitating a symmetrical cut, reducing the need for multiple punctures and improving the diagnostic yield.

• Cobalt Chromium (CoCr) Construction: The needle is forged from Cobalt Chromium, offering significantly higher hardness and kink resistance compared to traditional stainless steel. This ensures the needle maintains its trajectory and sharpness even when traversing calcified lymph nodes or navigating the sharp distal bends of a bronchoscope.

• Superior Echogenicity: The needle surface is treated to provide high visibility under ultrasound. This "bright" echogenic signature allows the clinician to monitor the needle tip throughout the entire biopsy, ensuring precise placement within the lesion.

• Adjustable Sheath & Needle Extension: Features a user-friendly locking mechanism that allows for precise control of needle depth (up to 4 cm), ensuring safety when working near major vascular structures in the mediastinum.

• Large Internal Bore: Despite its 22G profile, the internal lumen is optimized to allow high-volume core collection while maintaining the flexibility required for EBUS-guided maneuvers.
