Indications for Use
The
®
Breast Biopsy System is indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic
sampling of breast abnormalities.
• It is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of
the imaged abnormality.
• It is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial removal of a
palpable abnormality.
The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be readily determined from 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 benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for
completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
Breast Biopsy System may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. Whenever breast
tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care. When the sampled
abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for
completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
