The Sirius Pintuition<\/a>, a device that localizes breast cancer tumors using a magnetic seed, has been given clearance by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for use in the United States. This important milestone allows the Eindhoven-based Sirius Medical<\/a> to enter the US oncological surgery sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very proud to achieve this important milestone with our team in this short amount of time,\u201d says Barm Schermers, co-founder and inventor of Sirius Pintuition. \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable to see that a small idea led to technology that will now become available in two continents across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimizing harm in oncological surgery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A recent development in helping to remove abnormal breast tissue linked with tumors is a method known as radioactive seed localization<\/em>. The method involves placing a tiny radioactive metal seed (about the size of a sesame seed) next to the abnormal tissue with a very fine needle. The seed can then be located with a hyper-sensitive sensor, allowing oncologists to remove only what they need to and minimizing the invasiveness of the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sirius Pintuition uses a similar method but is novel in that it uses a magnetized ‘seed’ with a specialized sensor to locate it. This means that it has the same effects of radioactive seed localization without the potentially adverse effects of a radioactive device placed in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clearance means the US can join the other eight countries across Europe currently using the Sirius Pintuition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hubert Martens, CEO and cofounder of Sirius: \u201cSirius Pintuition is an advanced system that allows surgeons to approach the tumor more freely, enabling the best possible outcome for patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
