Inclusion criteria

Safety Cohort

  • Subject was implanted during a breast biopsy procedure with a HydroMARK Breast Biopsy Site Marker manufactured at the Devicor Tijuana facility per the instructions for use
  • Subject has been followed at least 90 days according to the hospital's standard of care (SOC)
  • Subject was ≥ 18 years of age at the time of the breast biopsy procedure
  • Subject has accessible medical records documenting the breast biopsy procedure including, at minimum: age, sex, primary diagnostic indication and documentation of device-related adverse events which occurred, if any

Performance Cohort

  • Subject was implanted during a breast biopsy procedure with a HydroMARK Breast Biopsy Site Marker manufactured at the Devicor Tijuana facility per the instructions for use
  • Patient is ≥18 years of age
  • Patient has provided informed consent to participate in study, including follow-up visit for ultrasound imaging at 6-12 weeks post-biopsy

Exclusion criteria

Safety Cohort

  • Biopsy area was infected at the time of implant

Performance Cohort

  • Contraindication to HydroMARK Breast Biopsy Site Marker implantation
  • Biopsy area is infected at the time of implant
  • Patient has a breast biopsy marker (in the same breast) implanted from a previous procedure

Treatment and study plan

Ultrasound imaging

Diagnostic Test

Subjects in the performance cohort will undergo ultrasound imaging to assess the visibility of the HydroMARK Breast Biopsy Marker at 6-12 weeks post-implant. There is no intervention in the safety cohort (retrospective chart review).

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety Cohort

    Time frame: 90 days post-implant

    The safety cohort will consist of approximately 491 evaluable subject medical records reviewed retrospectively from patients followed for a minimum of 90 days post-implant unless the subject was exited according to the medical records due to the implant being removed/explanted or subject death. Device-related adverse events and device deficiencies will be collected.

  2. Performance Cohort

    Time frame: 6 - 12 weeks post-implant

    The performance cohort will prospectively enroll approximately 341 subjects with a suspected breast cancer that will undergo as part of standard of care an ultrasound-guided breast biopsy procedure, including placement of HydroMARK, with an aim of achieving a minimum 239 evaluable subjects (assuming 30% attrition rate due to surgical excision prior to follow-up, lost to follow-up, death) returning to the office at 6-12 weeks for ultrasound imaging to evaluate HydroMARK visibility.

    The visibility rate will be dichotomized into two categories from rankings using a 1-5 Likert-type scale - 1 "no/inadequate visibility" and 2 "slightly visible", 3 "moderately visible", 4 "very visible" and 5 "extremely visible" will be coalesced into a single category of "being visible".
