Class 2
Intended Use
The MOLLI Marker is intended to be placed percutaneously in soft tissue to temporarily mark a surgical site intended for surgical removal. The MOLLI Marker can only be implanted for less than 30 days. Using imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or radiography) or aided by non-imaging guidance (MOLLI 2 System), the MOLLI Marker is located and surgically removed with the target tissue. The MOLLI 2 System is intended only for the non-imaging detection of the MOLLI Marker that has been implanted in a site intended for surgical removal.
Device Story
MOLLI 2 is a surgical marking and guidance system for locating non-palpable lesions. System components: MOLLI Marker (implantable), MOLLI Introducer (delivery needle), MOLLI Wand 2 (detection probe), and MOLLI Tablet 2 (visualization). The marker is placed percutaneously in soft tissue using imaging guidance. During surgery, the surgeon uses the MOLLI Wand 2 to detect the marker; the MOLLI Tablet 2 provides non-imaging feedback to guide the surgeon to the marker location. This facilitates precise surgical removal of the target tissue. Used in clinical settings by surgeons. The system replaces or supplements traditional wire-localization techniques, potentially improving surgical workflow and patient experience by allowing for flexible scheduling and reduced patient discomfort.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical performance bench testing, electrical safety testing (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-6), EMC testing (IEC 60601-1-2), and software validation (IEC 62304). Biocompatibility was maintained per ISO 10993-1 as materials remain unchanged from the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises an implantable marker, delivery needle, detection wand, and tablet. Materials are identical to the predicate. Sterilization via EO per ISO 14937 and ISO 10993-7. Connectivity includes internal circuit boards and tablet components. Software updates implemented for the guidance system. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1; EMC per IEC 60601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring surgical removal of non-palpable lesions or soft tissue sites marked percutaneously with a temporary marker (implanted <30 days).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An implantable clip is a clip-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.

Dear Pierre Bounaud:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Molli. The word "molli" is written in a sans-serif font, with the letters in a dark blue color. There is a light blue circle above the "i" in the word "molli". The logo is simple and modern.
The purpose of this 510(k) premarket notification is to introduce the following changes to the previously cleared MOLLI device:
- Addition of a new needle length for the MOLLI Introducer ●
- Hardware and software updates to the guidance system components (MOLLI Wand 2, MOLLI ● Tablet 2)
### INDICATIONS FOR USE
The MOLLI Marker is intended to be placed percutaneously in soft tissue to temporarily mark a surgical site intended for surgical removal. The MOLLI Marker can only be implanted for less than 30 days. Using imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or radiography) or aided by non-imaging guidance (MOLLI 2 System), the MOLLI Marker is located and surgically removed with the target tissue.
The MOLLI 2 System is intended only for the non-imaging detection and localization of the MOLLI Marker that has been implanted in a site intended for surgical removal.
### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
MOLLI Surgical, Inc. believes that MOLLI 2 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on the information summarized here:
The subject device has the same intended use, design, and technological characteristics as the predicate device cleared in K210600. Minor modifications to the subject device as compared to the predicate device include:
- MOLLI Introducer: addition of a longer needle (12 cm) .
- MOLLI Wand 2: new circuit board, minor changes to internal components, cosmetic changes, firmware update
- MOLLI Tablet 2: component update (new screen, battery and speakers) and software update
These changes have undergone testing to ensure the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
### SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING
The materials/formulation and processing of the patient-contacting components of the MOLLI 2 are the same as for the predicate device. Therefore, MOLLI 2 is considered to have met the requirements of ISO 10993-1 and FDA's Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff – Use of International ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.
The following tests were performed to demonstrate safety based on current industry standards:
- EO sterilization validation per ISO 14937 and ISO 10993-7 ●
- . Software testing per IEC 62304
- Electrical safety testing per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-6
- EMC testing per IEC 60601-1-2
- Non-clinical performance bench testing
The results of these tests indicate that MOLLI 2 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

precision surgery made simpler®
### CONCLUSION
Based on the testing performed, including sterilization testing, software testing, electrical safety testing, EMC testing, and non-clinical performance bench testing, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device. The same indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed MOLLI 2 are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
