Important Safety Information
MelaFind
® is intended to be used when a dermatologist chooses to obtain additional information for a decision to biopsy, but MelaFind
® should NOT be used to confirm a clinical diagnosis of melanoma. As with all tools to provide additional information during skin exams, there is a risk that melanomas will be missed and benign moles will be biopsied.
MelaFind
® is indicated for use on clinically atypical cutaneous pigmented skin lesions with a diameter between 2mm and 22mm that are accessible by MelaFind
