Biopsy Probe Cannula – Use with Eviva Length Adapter (Stereo)
1. After biopsy sampling is complete and you are ready to place the marker, remove
biopsy device or obturator making sure to leave in place the cannula or introducer.
2. Inspect the marker package to ensure package integrity has not been
compromised. The product is sterile unless the seal is broken.
3. Using standard aseptic technique, open the package and remove the applicator
(B). Select the appropriate length adapter indicated in Figure 2. Remove the
applicator's tip protector (D) and apply the length adapter if required as shown
in Figure 3. Ensure adapter is fully seated.
4. Insert the applicator needle (C) into the introducer or cannula until fully seated.
See Figure 3.

6. With the plunger in the unlocked position, immediately deploy the marker by
advancing the plunger (A) until it contacts the applicator handle.
7. Remove the applicator and the cannula or introducer together as one unit.
8. Hold compression on the skin breach until bleeding has ceased.
MRI Information
MR Conditional
Non-clinical testing demonstrated that the Breast Tissue Marker is MR Conditional.
A patient with this device can be scanned safely immediately after placement under
the following conditions:
(SAR) of 4-W/kg for 15 minutes of scanning (i.e., per pulse sequence)
- First Level Controlled Operating Mode of operation for the MR system

MRI-Related Heating
In non-clinical testing, the Breast Tissue Marker produced the following temperature
rise during MRI performed for 15-min of scanning (i.e., per pulse sequence) in a
3-Tesla MR system (3-Tesla/128-MHz, Excite, HDx, Software 14X.M5, General Electric
Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI):
MR system reported, whole body averaged SAR
Calorimetry measured values, whole body averaged SAR
Highest temperature change
Temperature scaled to whole body averaged SAR of 4-W/kg
Artifact Information
MR image quality may be compromised if the area of interest is in the exact same area
or relatively close to the position of the Breast Tissue Marker. Therefore, optimization
of MR imaging parameters to compensate for the presence of this device may be
necessary.
