Intended Use
The InterV brand V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker with Titanium Anchor is intended to mark tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure, be visible under MRI and ultrasound for at least 6 weeks, and be permanently visible by fluoroscopy.
Device Description
The V-Mark biopsy site marker is made of two components; a resorbable copolymer, a polyester derivative of lactic and glycolic acids, and a titanium anchor. Polylactic/polyglycolic acid copolymers degrade and resorb in vivo by hydrolysis into lactic and glycolic acids, which are then metabolized by the body. The titanium anchor provides a permanent component to the marker of the biopsy site. The site markers are deployed through an applicator that fits commercially available biopsy probes or coaxial needles including the J&J Ethicon Mammotome 11 gauge biopsy probe, the Pro-Mag Coaxial Introducer with Blunt Obturator, the Bio-Pince Co-axial Introducer with Blunt Obturator, and the Medical Device Technologies V-Core Co-axial Introducer. The V-Mark device marks the site of biopsy tissue sample, and is visible for up to 6 weeks by x-ray, ultrasound and MRI. The body then metabolizes the copolymer portion of the marker over time. The titanium anchor provides permanent radiographic visibility.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a biopsy site marker, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis, diagnosis, or any other purpose.

No.
The device is used to mark a biopsy site, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one. The description explicitly states its purpose is to "mark tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure."

No

The device is a marker intended to mark tissue after a breast biopsy, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is made of physical components (resorbable copolymer and a titanium anchor) and is deployed through an applicator, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker is a device that is implanted into the body during a biopsy procedure. Its purpose is to mark the location of the biopsy site within the body for future imaging and reference.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for marking tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure and being visible within the body using various imaging modalities.

The device is used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (outside the living body).
