What is it indicated for?

The Tag of the RFLS is intended for percutaneous placement in the breast to mark (>30 days) a lesion intended for surgical removal. Using image guidance (such as ultrasound or radiography) or aided by non-imaging guidance (RFLS), the RFID Tag is located and surgically removed with the target tissue. The RFLS is intended only for the non-imaging detection and localization of the Tag that has been implanted in a lesion intended for surgical removal.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
