## Intended Use

Cytophil Tissue Marker is indicated for use to radiographically mark soft tissue during a surgical procedure or for future surgical procedures.

## Device Story

Cytophil Tissue Marker is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, semi-solid, cohesive subdermal implant used to radiographically mark surgical sites. It consists of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite particles suspended in a thixotropic, high-yield-strength gel carrier (sterile water, glycerin, mannitol, and Carbopol 974P NF). The device is placed into soft tissue during open, percutaneous, or endoscopic procedures. It contains no ferrous materials. The marker is intended to provide a radiographic reference for surgeons. Safety and efficacy for CT, ultrasound, or MRI have not been established. The device is used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of preclinical safety and animal implant studies demonstrating biocompatibility. In vitro and in vivo testing addressed irritation, sensitization, cytotoxicity, acute/sub-chronic toxicity, genotoxicity, and hemolysis, identifying the device as non-irritant and non-toxic.

## Technological Characteristics

Subdermal implant composed of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite particles in a thixotropic gel carrier (sterile water, glycerin, mannitol, Carbopol 974P NF). Non-ferrous. Sterilized via steam (autoclave) using overkill methodology to 10^-6 SAL. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

An implantable clip is a clip-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.

## Predicate Devices

- Coaptite Tissue Marker and Coaptite FN Tissue Marker ([K012955](/device/K012955.md))

#### 4.1 Intended Use

Cytophil Tissue Marker is indicated for use to radiographically mark soft tissue during a surgical procedure or for future surgical procedures.

#### 4.2 Product Description

Sterile, latex free, non-pyrogenic, semi-solid, cohesive subdermal implant. The principle durable component is synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite. The semi-sold nature is created by suspending the calcium hydroxylapatite particles in a durable high yield strength thixotropic gel. The isotonic gel carrier consists primarily of sterile water for injection (USP), glycerin (USP) and mannitol (USP). The thixotropic high yield strength gel is created by the Carbopol 974P NF (USP). Cytophil Tissue Marker is placed into soft tissue during open, percutaneous, or endoscopic procedures to radiographically mark a surgical location. There is no ferrous material used in the formulation of the Cytophil Tissue Marker. However, the safety and efficacy of the Ctyophil

Marker has not been established for Computer Tomography, Ultrasonography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

#### 4.3 Substantial Equivalence

The following is the predicate device that is substantially equivalent to the Cytophil Tissue Marker:

K012955 Coaptite Tissue Marker and Coaptite FN Tissue Marker BioForm Medical, Inc. 1875 South Grant St., Suite 110 San Mateo, CA 94402

The Cytophil Tissue Marker is substantially equivalent to BioForm's Coaptite Tissue Marker and Coaptite FN Tissue Marker which functions as a radiographic soft tissue marker.

#### 4.4 Biocompatibility Evaluations

The battery of preclinical safety studies and animal implant studies show that the Cytophil Tissue Marker is biocompatible when injected into soft tissues.

#### 4.5 Sterilization

Cytophil Tissue Marker is sterilized using steam. Processing is preformed by a contract sterilization company. Haemonetics, using a computer controlled autoclave system. Cycle parameters were validated using an overkill methodology to 10 ° SAL. Sterilization by the user is not required.

#### 4.6 Pre-Clinical Tests Performed

In vivo and in vitro tests were performed to address irritation, sensitization, cytotoxicity, acute and sub-chronic toxicity, genotoxicity and hemolysis. Results identified the Cytophil Tissue Marker as a nonirritant, and nontoxic with no concerns for long-term safety.
