The device is a soft tissue marker used for radiographic and radiologic marking of surgical locations, not for treating a disease or condition.

The ClipLoc™ Soft Tissue Marker is used to mark a surgical location for radiographic and radiological purposes, not to diagnose a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly states it is comprised of a physical marker (clip), introducer, and applier, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
- Device Function: The ClipLoc Soft Tissue Marker is a physical device that is implanted into the body to mark a surgical location. It is used in vivo (within the living body).
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for "radiographically and radiologically mark the surgical location in breast or other soft tissue following an open or percutaneous procedure." This is a marking function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
Therefore, the ClipLoc Soft Tissue Marker falls under the category of an implanted medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ClipLoc™ Soft Tissue Marker is indicated for use to radiographically and radiologically mark the surgical location in breast or other soft tissue following an open or percutaneous procedure.
It is intended to attach to soft tissue, including breast tissue, at the surgical site during an open or percutaneous procedure.

Device Description
The ClipLoc Soft Tissue Marker is a sterile, single patient use device comprised of a small nickeltitanium marker (clip), a well as a disposable introducer and applier. The introducer is a coaxial cannula with a beveled tip and a molded hub. The ClipLoc is preloaded near the distal end of the cannula. The applier is a stylette with a cap. A plastic safety connector holds the applier and introducer needle in the appropriate position ("Ready") and helps prevent premature deployment of the marker. After removal of the safety connector, the ClipLoc is deployed by manually advancing the needle.
The ClipLoc may be used with either visual or imaging guidance (such as ultrasound, X-Ray, stereotaxy, or Magnetic Resonance). It may be used directly, or applied through another coaxial needle or guide associated with percutaneous biopsy. The entire system including ClipLoc, introducer, and applier is Magnetic Resonance (MR) safe and compatible up to and including 1.5 Tesla magnetic field strength. The marker, when present in a patient undergoing an MR exam at 3.0 Tesla or less, will not create additional hazard or risk with respect to magnetic field-related interactions, movement, gradient stimulation or heating.

Technological Characteristics
The ClipLoc® Soft Tissue Marker is made of implant grade materials and has similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The proposed and predicate devices contain the same primary components to achieve these functions: a handheld applier with deployment mechanism, and a marking clip located at the distal end of the applier. A single marker is deployed through the handheld applier by a push rod. A plastic safety connector holds the applier and introducer needle in the appropriate position ("Ready") and helps prevent premature deployment of the marker. The patient contact components and component materials for positioning the tissue marker in both the new and predicate devices are equivalent. The for poolibring materials, packaging configuration, sterilization methods and sterility assurance level are also equivalent.
Performance Data
Preclinical testing was performed to confirm the device performs as intended. Satisfactory radiographic visualization of the deployed ClipLoc was achieved using X-Ray, Ultrasound, and Margetic Resonance (up to and including 3.0 Tesla). The device performs as indicated in magnetic fields up to and including 1.5 Tesla. The ClipLoc Marker is MR safe and compatible up to and including 3.0 Tesla magnetic field strength.
Based on the indications for use, the materials used, as well as the technological characteristics and preclinical testing results, the ClipLoc Soft Tissue Marker does not raise significant new questions of safety and effectiveness.
