## Indications for use
The Mammotome AutoCoreT Single Insertion Core Biopsy System is indicated to obtain tissue samples from the breast or lymph nodes for diagnostic analysis of breast abnormalities. This instrument is for diagnostic use only and is not indicated for therapeutic use. The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be reliably determined from the palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
