Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The mammotome mr targeting set consists of a cradle, a sleeve mount assembly, and an obturator/stylet for accurate probe placement used to perform a breast tissue biopsy procedure.The device has not been returned for evaluation, which prevents a full investigation and analysis of the root cause at this time.X-ray image of the retained broken tip were provided and confirm the obturator proximal tip break.The instructions for use (ifu) state: insert obturator/stylet with depth markings into sleeve with z-lock; set and lock z-depth, aligning black triangle with top line of obturator/stylet; orient the cube; place cube in grid; insert targeting assembly into cube up to the z-lock.Caution: to minimize the risk of obturator breakage at the aperture, do not twist or torque the targeting set during insertion.Follow up with the radiologist at the user facility identified that he did not follow the ifu and placed the cube over the targeting set and attempted to insert the entire assembly into the grid.This can cause the targeting set to be inserted at an angle, unintentionally creating a fulcrum on the proximal end of the aperture.The patient underwent previously scheduled surgery to remove the breast lesion and obturator tip.No further complications reported.
