Intended Use
Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) is indicated for use to radiographically mark soft tissue at the surgical site during a surgical procedure or for future procedures.
Device Description
The Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) consists of a radiographic soft tissue marker and the delivery system. The Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) includes a sterile, single patient use, PEKK discrete marker that is visible on standard radiographs (x-ray, mammography) as well as ultrasound, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at up to 3.0 Tesla field strength. This submission is for an additional offering of a delivery system with radiused tip and increased rod length corresponding to the new radius tip. The delivery system is sterile, single patient use, and is pre-loaded incorporating the tissue marker. The delivery system has a radius tip 12 cm /14 gauge needle with 1 cm depth marks. The delivery system consists of a cannula with a handle with integral tabs to retain the tissue marker, a push rod with a plunger, and a tip cover. The tissue marker is retained within the delivery system until placement is desired, where it is delivered through the end port by fully depressing the plunger into the handle.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical tissue marker and its delivery system. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a marker used to radiographically mark soft tissue for surgical or future procedures, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device is a marker used to identify a surgical site for future procedures or imaging, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a physical tissue marker made of PEKK and a physical delivery system including a needle, handle, push rod, and tip cover. These are hardware components, not software.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) is a physical marker implanted into soft tissue. Its purpose is to be visible on various imaging modalities to mark a surgical site for current or future procedures. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on the analysis of those samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "radiographically mark soft tissue at the surgical site." This is a physical marking function, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) falls under the category of a medical device used for marking purposes, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Li:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
