Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The mammomark biopsy site identifier is a sterile, single use device intended for use after an open surgical or percutaneous breast biopsy procedure to mark the biopsy site.The device is not available for analysis, which precludes a full investigation and analysis of the root cause.However, this failure mode is identified in the risk management file and will occur at the end of the procedure and involves the marker tip physically breaking.The failure mode involves the tip of a side deploy marker shearing on the cutter of a disposable probe and separating from the body of the marker.Should this failure mode occur, there is a chance the broken marker tip may be left in the patient's breast.Current ifu lists this failure mode as a potential adverse event if device is misused.Based on patient consequences of unintended piece of the device of the device left in the biopsy site, we are submitting this medwatch report.
 
Event or Problem Description
It was reported by the affiliate that during a clip placement/ biopsy site marking procedure at the end of the procedure, the radiologist tried to place a biopsy marker.But the marker guide extremity broke inside the patient's breast leaving a 16mm debris in the breast.This event is documented in our system as (b)(4).
