FDA has cleared a Cianna Medical 510(k) to broaden the indication of its SCOUT reflector for use in localization of soft tissue. “The SCOUT System has been in use for wire-free breast tumor localization since 2016 and has been proven in over 42,000 procedures in more than 325 medical centers in the U.S.,” the company says. “SCOUT is uniquely suited for marking tumors, biopsy sites and lymph nodes prior to neoadjuvant therapy. Because the SCOUT reflector does not have a clinically significant MRI artifact, it *does not interfere with MRI studies.” The device is intended to be used* for breast tumor localization, bracketing of large or diffuse breast lesions, targeted lymph node dissection, placement at the time of biopsy and to mark tissue prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
