It was reported that a patient underwent biopsy procedure on (b)(6) 2022.The biopsy was successfully completed, and the marker (s-mark eviva was deployed via an introducer in the breast.However, when images were checked, no marker was visible.Introducer and site marker were then removed from the breast.It was found that the site marker had visibly perforated the introducer.As decided by the radiologist, no second marker was not deployed, because the introducer was removed from the site.As reported, there was no patient injury/harm, but the patient was left without the biopsy marker in the breast.The patient will not return for another marker insertion.
