FDA has cleared a Merit Medical Systems 510(k) for the SCOUT MD Surgical Guidance System. The device supports implantation of up to four different reflector configurations, according to the company. “When implanted within abnormal breast or other soft tissue, the reflectors are designed to pinpoint tumor location in multiple dimensions for more precise excision,” it says, adding that a “targeted approach” can help minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
