Used during lung biopsy procedures performed via fine needle aspiration through coaxial needle. Upon removal of aspiration device, delivery system mates to coaxial needle; plunger deployment places marker into biopsy tract. Marker expands upon contact with fluids to fill tract. Provides visual confirmation of biopsy site during subsequent surgical resection. Benefits include improved accuracy in locating biopsy site for surgeons. Used in clinical settings by physicians. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Desiccated hydrogel (FocalSeal-L) marker; expands on fluid contact. Hand-held applicator delivery system. Mates to coaxial biopsy needles. Resorbable via hydrolysis. ## Regulatory Identification An implantable staple is a staple-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable. ## Predicate Devices - Biopsy Sciences Bio-MARK Biopsy Site Marker - J&J Ethicon MicroMark - SenoRx Gel Mark Biopsy Site Marker - Artemis CoreMARK/MegaMARK Biopsy Site Identifier - Vivant Medical Biopsy Marker System - Medical Device Technologies Aspiration and Injection Needle ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Technologies Aspiration and Injection Needle | | Device Description: | Biopsy Sciences Lung Biopsy Site Markers are made of
resorbable FocalSeal-L Surgical Sealant, an FDA
approved hydrogel used on the surgical site during lung
surgery. The FocalSeal-L hydrogel material degrades
in a manner similar to absorbable sutures, via
hydrolysis. The Site Markers mark the site of the
biopsy tissue sample, which provides accurate
visualization during surgical resection of the tumor.
Lung biopsy procedures are performed by fine needle
aspiration through a coaxial needle. When the fine
needle aspiration device is removed, the delivery
system is mated to the coaxial needle. The plunger of
the delivery system is depressed, which accurately | places the Site Marker in the biopsy tract. {1}------------------------------------------------ K04/331 l/h May, 2004 Biopsy Sciences, LLC Traditional 510(k) Lung Biopsy Site Marker Intended Use: The Biopsy Sciences Lung Biopsy Site Marker is intended to provide accuracy in marking a biopsy location for visualization during surgical resection. Technological Characteristics: The Biopsy Sciences Lung Biopsy Sit Markers are made of desiccated hydrogel, which immediately expands on contact with fluids to fill the biopsy tract and accurately confirm the site of biopsy during surgical resection. The markers are deployed using a hand held applicator that mates to the coaxial needle used for the biopsy procedure. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
