Device Description
The Gold Anchor™ Marker is a fiducial gold marker intended to be implanted within the body, either temporarily or permanently, to create identifying marks that can be seen on radiographic film or digital images. The marker is formed as a wire with cutouts and used to locate and delineate a tumor, lesion, or other site of interest. The marker comes pre-loaded in 25G, 22G and 20G needles delivered sterile and ready for use. Sterilization is achieved by E-Beam Radiation. This is a single-use device. The device is a passive implant.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of a passive implant (gold marker) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or image processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a marker used to identify soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures, but it does not perform a therapeutic function itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a marker used to identify soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures. It is used to delineate a tumor, lesion, or other site of interest for future procedures, not to diagnose a condition. It is a passive implant that helps locate a site for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical fiducial marker made of gold wire, pre-loaded in needles, and intended for implantation. This is a hardware device, not software.

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) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The Gold Anchor marker is described as a "fiducial gold marker intended to be implanted within the body." This means it is a device that is placed inside the body (in vivo).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures." This is a marking or localization function performed within the body.

The device is a passive implant used for imaging purposes after implantation, not for testing samples taken from the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Tests were conducted in accordance with FDA's guidance document, "Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" and the following ASTM standards:

  • ASTM F2052-15 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Dis-. Placement Force on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment.
  • ASTM F2182-11a Standard Test Method for Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced . Heating On or Near Passive Implants During Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • . ASTM F2119-07(2013) Standard Test Method for Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts from Passive Implants.

Because of the minor amount of translational attraction (1-degree deflection angle) and no torque (qualitatively determined) at 3-Tesla, it was deemed unnecessary to conduct a quantitative evaluation of torque according to ASTM F2213-2006 (2011), Standard Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment.

A biocompatibility evaluation has been performed based on a chemical characterization risk assessment in accordance with ISO 10993-17 and ISO 10993-18.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Gold Anchor™ Marker is a fiducial gold marker intended to be implanted within the body, either temporarily or permanently, to create identifying marks that can be seen on radiographic film or digital images. The marker is formed as a wire with cutouts and used to locate and delineate a tumor, lesion, or other site of interest. The marker comes pre-loaded in 25G, 22G and 20G needles delivered sterile and ready for use. Sterilization is achieved by E-Beam Radiation. This is a single-use device. The device is a passive implant.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Indications for Use statement for the subject device is identical to that of its predicate device Gold Anchor (K091645):

  • The Gold Anchor marker is indicated for use to radiographically mark soft tissue for future ● therapeutic procedures.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

At a high level, the subject device and the predicate device Gold Anchor (K091645) are based on the following same technological characteristics:

  • Device delivered sterilized using Electron Beam Radiation. �
  • Device delivered pre-loaded in 25G or 22G needles. .
  • Use of a needle to reach the target tissue. �
  • Use of a stylet to deploy the fiducial gold marker to mark the soft tissue. �
  • Use of a material that lubricates the inside of the needle. .
  • . Use of a marker with a unique and patented design (wire with cutouts).

The following technological differences exist between the subject device and the predicate device Gold Anchor (K091645):

  • The subject device is also available pre-loaded in a 20G needle. .
  • . The 25G needle of the predicate device was 120 mm long. The 25G needle of the subject device is 150 mm long.
  • � The material used to lubricate the inside of the subject device is Nusil Med-360 unrestricted silicone oil.
  • . The fiducial marker in the subject device contains a small amount of pure iron (0.5% of mass) mixed with the pure gold as an alloy to enhance the visibility of the marker on MRI.
  • . The predicate device only came with a Ø 0.28 mm marker. The subject device comes with either a Ø 0.40 mm marker or a Ø 0.28 mm marker.

Comparison to the predicate device VisiCoil Marker (K070305):

  • The subject device is available pre-loaded in a 20G needle. The predicate device is avail-. able pre-loaded in thicker 17G. 18G, or 19G needles.
