The hydromark 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 instruction for use and deployment guide, provided with the device, must be followed to avoid the applicator from shearing.In accordance with iso 13485:2016 and iso 10993-1 requirements, the mammomark¿ biopsy site identifier devices have been tested for biocompatibility for their intended use and patient contact duration per iso 10993-1.The collagen marker and titanium clip are the only mammomark components classified as having "permanent patient contact." components of the applicator are classified as "limited patient contact" and qualified for the intended use during the procedure.Applicator materials are considered medical-grade but have not been evaluated for permanent implantation.As with any implanted device, the implant site should be monitored for any signs of irritation or reaction following the surgical procedure.It was reported that the patient passed out at the end of the procedure with the probe was still in the patients breast.The user quickly retracted the probe causing the spring to be caught.While pulling the spring out of the breast the technician jammed her knuckle into the probe.The technician did puncture her hand on the probe causing a wound on her hand.The technician visited the emergency room for blood and body fluid exposure.The technician has reported that her knuckle is still swollen but is doing fine.
