SAVI SCOUT Clinical Evaluation Study

Trial Status: enrolling by invitation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the SAVI SCOUT® Surgical Guidance System (SAVI SCOUT). The SAVI SCOUT is a medical device, used to provide real-time guidance during localized excisional biopsy or lumpectomy procedures, by helping the surgeon locate and remove the desired tissue (i.e., the lesion and surrounding normal tissue). The SAVI SCOUT has been 510K cleared. The SAVI SCOUT is intended to assist surgeons in the location and retrieval of a non-palpable abnormality as localized by radiographic or ultrasound methods. In this study, the ability of the SAVI SCOUT to guide surgeons to find a lesion will be evaluated instead of the standard technique of wire localization.
