Overview

The Ranfac RAN-815 is an 8 gauge × 15 centimeter single-use bone marrow aspiration needle with a side-port (fenestrated) cannula and a sharp diamond-tip stylet. The 8 G large-bore configuration is intended for procedures requiring higher marrow yield per draw — most commonly orthobiologic preparations, bulk aspiration protocols, and large-volume diagnostic harvests. Each needle ships sterile, ethylene-oxide processed, and individually packaged.

RAN-815 is the large-bore fenestrated configuration in the Ranfac BMA portfolio. Compared to standard 11 G configurations, the 8 G lumen supports higher marrow volume per draw — preferred for orthobiologic preparations and bulk-aspiration protocols. The non-fenestrated RAN-815N covers single-site distal-tip protocols at the same gauge.

Clinical Applications

The Ranfac Bone Marrow Aspiration Needle is intended for use in aspirating bone marrow, as determined by a licensed physician.

Practitioners use 8 gauge × 15 cm bone marrow aspiration needles where the higher flow rate of a larger-bore cannula is required — orthobiologic concentrate preparation, large-volume marrow harvest, and deeper-access protocols. The side-port fenestrated cannula supports multi-site sampling within a single needle pass.

Hematology & Oncology

Diagnostic marrow evaluation, lymphoma and leukemia workups, treatment monitoring, and metastatic staging.

Orthopedic & Spine

Larger-bore marrow harvest for orthobiologic preparations, bulk aspiration protocols, and applications requiring higher marrow yield per draw.

Interventional Radiology

Image-guided aspiration where deeper access or controlled marrow draw is preferred.

Outpatient & Inpatient Settings

Used across hospital hematology and oncology suites, ambulatory surgery centers, and procedure rooms performing routine marrow harvests.

Directions for Use (Summary)

The following is a summary only. The complete 10-step Instructions for Use, contraindications, warnings, and disposal requirements are provided in the IFU below.

  1. Inspect packaging. Confirm integrity; if undamaged, open using aseptic technique.
  2. Inspect the device. Check the cannula and stylet cutting edges for damage or imperfections.
  3. Adjust stiffener (if present) to the desired effective length.
  4. Position the needle adjacent to the aspiration site per proper placing technique.
  5. Advance the needle with gentle, firm pressure in alternating clockwise–counterclockwise rotation. Entry into the marrow cavity is generally signaled by decreased resistance.
  6. Remove the stylet by rotating the stylet cap counterclockwise.
  7. Attach a male luer-lock syringe to the needle hub. Avoid glass syringes — they may not seal properly and can fracture.
  8. Apply negative pressure by quickly withdrawing the plunger; disengage and recover the sample.
  9. Dispose of the used device in a sharps biohazard container, per applicable laws and your facility's biohazard policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge and length is the RAN-815 bone marrow aspiration needle?

8 gauge with a 15 cm working length. The fenestrated cannula has side ports along the distal segment to permit multi-site marrow aspiration.

When would I use 8 gauge instead of 11 gauge?

8 G provides a larger lumen and higher marrow flow per draw — typically preferred for orthobiologic preparations, bulk aspiration protocols, and high-volume diagnostic harvests. For routine diagnostic biopsy, the 11 G RAN-1115 is the standard choice.

Is there a non-fenestrated 8 G × 15 cm version?

Yes — the RAN-815N (part 74174-15M) is the non-fenestrated companion at the same size.

Is the RAN-815 FDA cleared?

Yes. The Ranfac Bone Marrow Aspiration Needle family is cleared under 510(k) K131157, regulation 21 CFR 876.1075, product code KNW, device Class II, prescription-use only.

How is the needle sterilized? Is it latex-free?

Sterilized by ethylene oxide (EO) and shipped sterile. The device is not made with natural rubber latex and is intended for single-patient use only.

What syringe size works with this needle?

The female luer-lock hub accepts any standard male luer-lock aspiration syringe. Most operators select 10–20 mL syringes for routine marrow aspiration. Avoid glass syringes — they may not seal properly and can fracture during aspiration.
