Device Description

The SCOUT® Console, SCOUT Guide, SCOUT Handpiece, and SCOUT Reflector are components of the SCOUT Surgical Guidance System. The SCOUT Console is a medical device that provides control operations for detecting the presence of the SCOUT Reflector within soft tissue during surgery. The SCOUT Handpiece and SCOUT Reflector are available separately. The SCOUT® System employs micro-impulse radar and infrared light (IR) technology to determine the location of the Reflector, which is placed into the soft tissue during a prior procedure. The Console provides the micro-impulse radar signal to the Handpiece along with power for the infrared light sources. The Handpiece delivers the micro-impulse radar signal and infrared light into the soft tissue and in turn receives signals reflected back from the Reflector. The Console processes the reflected radar signals to provide the surgeon with Reflector proximity and location information via audible and visual feedback. The numeric display provides real-time distance between the Handpiece and Reflector. The audible feedback produced by the Console increases in cadence as Handpiece is placed in closer proximity to the Reflector. The Console provides a maximum detection range of 60mm from the Handpiece to the Reflector. Excision of the lesion is then performed using standard surgical technique.

• Connect the power cord to a hospital grade wall outlet having the correct voltage or product damage may result. • Ensure cables are positioned to prevent trip hazards. • For best results, operate the instrument in a stable (vibration-free) environment, with the Console placed on a level working surface. • Do not operate Console within 10 meters of another Console. • Do not place Console in contact with other electrical equipment during use. • The Console is non-sterile. Do not sterilize. • Care should be taken not to drop the Console, or subject it to any form of rough physical handling, either during normal use or during storage and transportation. • Never clean the Console using an excessively wet cloth, or by washing it under running water. • Do not clean the Console with abrasive cleaning or disinfectant compounds, solvents, or other materials that could scratch the panels or damage the unit. • The Console, Handpiece/Cable Assembly, and the Delivery System of the SCOUT System are MR Unsafe and should not be used in the MR environment • The implanted SCOUT Reflector is MR Conditional. • The use of Xenon light sources should be used with caution. Xenon light sources may contain wavelengths of light that could affect the sensitivity of the system when the light is illuminating the area of the reflector. CONTROLS, INDICATORS AND RECEPTACLES Instrument Description The Console contains the controls. The controls are located on the front and back of the Console. The Console produces signal outputs in the form of an audible pitch that represent the intensity of the Handpiece’s signal. Front Panel

The Console and Guide are provided non-sterile. The Handpiece and Reflector (available separately) are provided sterile. INDICATIONS FOR USE The SCOUT Reflector is intended to be placed percutaneously in soft tissue (>30 days) to mark a biopsy site or a soft tissue site intended for surgical removal. Using imaging guidance (such as ultrasound, MRI, or radiography) or aided by non-imaging guidance (SCOUT System) the SCOUT Reflector is located and surgically removed with the target tissue. The SCOUT System is intended only for the non-imaging detection and localization of the SCOUT Reflector that has been implanted in a soft tissue biopsy site or a soft tissue site intended for surgical removal.
