Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for collecting liquid and cells from a bone marrow cavity by suction through a fine needle attached to a syringe (i.e., performing a bone marrow aspiration biopsy). Items in these kits usually include povidone-iodine swab sticks, lidocaine hydrochloride, a scalpel, a syringe with needle, Luer lock syringes, frosted slides, and needles; kits may also include towels, a fenestrated drape with adhesive strip, bandages, specimen tubes, gauze pads, and an absorbent towel. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Bone marrow aspiration biopsy procedure kits and trays are intended for use during the removal of living tissue for microscopic (in-vitro) laboratory examination to diagnose a variety of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic diseases.
