The Mammotome AutoCore™ Single Insertion Core Biopsy System is indicated to obtain tissue samples from the breast or lymph nodes for diagnostic analysis of breast abnormalities. This instrument is for diagnostic use only and is not indicated for therapeutic use. The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be reliably determined from the palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benian, it is essential that the tissue marqins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.

The Mammotome AutoCore™ Single Insertion Core Biopsy System is an automated core needle biopsy system. It is a single insertion, multiple sample device that includes automated arming and automated sample collection. It is available in two gauge sizes (12G and 14G) and acquires soft tissue samples using a spring-loaded inner piercing stylet and outer cutting cannula in the probe needle.

The HydroMARK™ Plus Breast Biopsy Site Marker is indicated to mark tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure, including axillary lymph nodes, be visible under ultrasound for at least six (6) weeks, and be permanently visible by x-ray and MRI.

The HydroMARK™ Plus Breast Biopsy Site Marker (Hummingbird, subject device) is a two-component marker that provides permanent marking of a breast biopsy or axillary lymph node biopsy site following a breast biopsy procedure. The implantable marker is made of a highly expandable solid cylinder of polymerized and desiccated hydrogel that has the permanent titanium marker embedded. Upon fluid contact (e.g., water, blood, etc.), the hydrogel material expands to an equilibrium point. Once the material hydrates, it is visible under ultrasound. Over time, the hydrogel is resorbed by the patient's body. The titanium wire is permanently visible under x-ray and MRI even after the hydrogel is resorbed. The HydroMARK™ Plus Breast Biopsy Site Marker is a permanent implant and is not intended to be removed unless the marked tissue requires surgical removal. The marker is supplied pre-loaded in a sterile, disposable applicator that is designed to fit into specified commercially available breast biopsy devices. During a breast biopsy procedure, the marker is deployed through a compatible introducer or by direct puncture into the biopsy cavity created by the breast biopsy device.

The LumiMARK™ Biopsy Site Marker is indicated to mark tissue associated with a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure, including axillary lymph nodes, and be permanently visible under ultrasound, x-ray, and MRI.

The LumiMARK™ Biopsy Site Marker implant component [subject device] is composed of a nitinol (nickel/titanium alloy) material versus HydroMARK™ Breast Biopsy Site Marker [predicate device] which is composed of titanium or stainless steel encapsulated in resorbable hydrogel. The marker is not intended to be removed unless the marked tissue is determined to require surgical removal. The marker is supplied pre-loaded in a sterile, disposable applicator that allows the marker to be inserted with direct puncture under ultrasound. The applicator system is of similar design and materials as the currently marketed Devicor Medical Products Inc. HydroMARK™ Breast Biopsy Site Marker (K212158) [predicate device]. LumiMARK™ Biopsy Site Markers will be available in three different shapes. These permanently visible, implantable markers will allow the physician to identify different biopsied sites under ultrasound, x-ray, and MRI. A similar marker device commercialized by Devicor Medical Products, Inc. is already available (under K212158), and this HydroMARK™ Breast Biopsy Marker [predicate]. The deployment system used for the LumiMARK™ Biopsy Site Marker device [subject] will be similar to the HydroMARK™ Breast Biopsy Site Marker [predicate] delivery system with minor design changes to the plunger assembly and cannula. The nitinol markers will be intended for direct puncture or insertion through another introducer needle that is already in the breast or axillary lymph node.

The Mammotome elite® Biopsy System consists of a reusable Holster (MEH1) and a single-patient use, sterile Probe (MEP10 and MEP13) that is used with ultrasound imaging guidance to excise and collect diagnostic samples with a single insertion of the Probe. Introducer Stylets (MEI10 and MEI13) are also available as optional accessories that can be used with the Mammotome elite® Biopsy System. The components of the System are designed to operate safely when used together for diagnostic sampling of tissue during a biopsy procedure. The Holster is a self-contained, handheld, reusable electro-mechanical vacuum-assisted biopsy device that consists of a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery and includes a charging base with AC power adapter. The Probe consists of an outer trocar shaft, a telescoping inner hollow coaxial cutter and an integrated coaxial cannula. The Probe incorporates a distal needle aperture and a proximal specimen collection cup with a tissue sample basket and specimen collection cap. The Holster contains one alignment tab that inserts into the holster notch located on the body of the Probe. The Probe body also contains two locking tabs to secure the Probe into the Holster. The Holster creates vacuum inside the device to assist in pulling tissue into the aperture while the sharpened inner cutter rotates at high speeds and extends across the aperture to acquire targeted tissue. The tissue sample is transported by vacuum to the specimen collection cup at the proximal end of the Probe. The integrated coaxial cannula may be detached either after the biopsy and remain in the breast to retain a track to the biopsy site when placing a biopsy site identifier or prior to the procedure when used in conjunction with the Introducer Stylet. The Introducer Stylet/integrated coaxial cannula combination is an option that is available for those physicians who are trained in percutaneous needle techniques for tissue collection.
