Evaluation of RFID Localization System for Marking and Retrieving Breast Lesions
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this investigation is to obtain clinical data to show the Health Beacons Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) Localization System is safe and performs as intended as a localization device for marking and retrieving a non-palpable surgical target from the breast.

Device: RFID Tag (Health Beacon)
The radiologist or surgeon will place the Health Beacons RFID Tag under ultrasonic or stereotactic guidance. The surgeon will use the Tagfinder to locate the lesion.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The surgical target is visualized in the removed specimen AND the RFID Tag was removed from the patient's breast. [Within 96 hours after lumpectomy]
The study endpoints are known soon after the lumpectomy procedure by 1) confirmation of the pathology lab examination; and 2) retrieval of the implanted RFID tag.
