Intended Use

The MammoPath can be used with Mammotest® (K861692). Mammotest is a breast biopsy system manufactured by Fischer Imaging, Inc., a dedicated Mammographic device for stereotactically - guided needle biopsy of the breast. Mammotest allows the operator to visualize suspicious breast lesions under Mammographic X-Ray and to guide various tissue acquisition devices to the lesion for tissue harvesting. The Mammopath would then be used for digital imaging of the harvested specimen to provide rapid verification that the correct tissue has been excised during biopsy.

The MammoPath can also be used as a stand-alone unit (without Fischer's Mammotest) and would be used to verify correct tissue sampling any given harvested specimen.

Doing the verification directly in the same room enables cases to be completed faster, thus limiting the time the patient needs to be under examination. Specimen radiography can potentially limit number of patient recalls.
