Intended Use
The Beacon Fine Needle Fiducial System is intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e. automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.
Device Story
Sterile, single-use endoscopic ultrasound device; consists of delivery system and needle preloaded with two gold fiducial markers, bone wax, and spacer. Operated by clinicians via accessory channel of ultrasound endoscope. Manual deployment of markers achieved using internal blunt stylet.

### Device Description
The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System is a sterile, single-use, endoscopic ultrasound device which consists of the Beacon™ Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Delivery System and a Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial (FNF) Needle preloaded with fiducial markers. The Beacon™ EUS Delivery System with Beacon™ FNF Needle is inserted through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The Beacon™ FNF Needle houses two fiducial markers and a fiducial spacer enclosed with bone wax. A blunt stylet contained within the Beacon™ FNF Needle allows for manual deployment of the fiducial markers to the intended location. Once the fiducial markers have been implanted, the Beacon™ FNF Needle may be removed from the Beacon™ EUS Delivery System and replaced with a new Beacon™ FNF Needle for placing additional fiducial markers. The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System has an integrated needle protection shield that automatically encloses the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. The needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks.

# Indications for Use
The device is intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e. automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.
# Technological Characteristics of the Device Compared to Predicate Device
The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System is identical to the legally marketed BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System (K150891) in terms of principle of operation, anatomical location, and fundamental scientific technology. Both systems use a delivery system and needle sub-assembly to manually initiate delivery of fiducial markers, as well as exchange needles. In addition, the Beacon™ FNF System indications for use are the same when compared to the predicate BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System (K150891); with respect to fiducial delivery and prevention of needle stick injury.
Although the predicate BNX FNA System is compatible for use with fiducial markers and bone wax, the materials are not provided with the system. The Beacon™ FNF System includes the components preloaded into the needle sub-assembly for the user. This premarket notification discusses the inclusion of such materials into the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial Needle subassembly and the design modifications that assist placement of preloaded fiducial markers. Design changes to the Beacon™ FNF System from the predicate BNX FNA System include the following:
- . Modification to the distal end of the needle stylet
- Inclusion of two gold seed fiducial markers
- Inclusion of bone wax
- . Addition of a fiducial spacer
- Addition of a deployment indicator ●
# Non-Clinical Test Summary
Bench testing was performed for attributes affected by the modifications made to the subject device. Bench testing evaluated such characteristics as fiducial deployment force, fiducial echogenic performance, bond strengths, and deployment indicator functionality. Performance testing for the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System also consisted of user validation testing, biocompatibility assessment, sterilization validation, packaging validation, shelf life testing, Image Guided Radiotherapy Compatibility, and Magnetic Resonance testing. The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use. No new safety or performance issues were raised during device testing.
# Conclusion
Covidien IIc considers the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate device BNX Fine Needle Aspiration System (K150891) based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety and performance testing. Testing performed demonstrated that the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System met the required specifications for its intended use.
