Equipment Required:
The following equipment is required to place the marker:
• Appropriate imaging modality and accessories
• Surgical gloves and drapes
• Local anesthetic
• Other equipment as necessary
I.
Directions for Use:

Prepare the site as required. Adequate anesthesia should be administered, as required.
Inspect the package and product for damage. If undamaged, open the package and transfer the U
2.
NOTE: Lift up either one of the yellow side tabs to remove the protective needle sheath and yellow guard (Figure 2).
3.
Locate the target area for deployment using the appropriate imaging technique.
4.
Insert the introducer needle into the breast, directing it to the target. Use the 1 cm reference markings to position the
needle point just proximal to the target.
