The device is an accessory intended to mark a set of locations on a patient's intact, uncompromised skin. The device is also intended to mark objects in the operational field of view. The device is intended to be used in clinical settings, by clinicians familiar with aseptic technique.
A device placed on the surface of a patient's body during a surgical procedure to create identifying marks that can be seen on radiographic film or digital images for the localization and delineation of areas of interest (e.g., a tumour or lesion), or attached to navigated instruments used to assist in computer-assisted surgery. It is made from materials compatible with the imaging system in which it is intended to be used [e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray, nuclear medicine], or as reflective markers detected by the cameras/computer software of an image guided surgery/patient positioning system (PPS). This is a single-use device.
