Indications for Use
SoftVue™ is indicated for use as a B-mode ultrasonic imaging system for imaging of a patient's breast when used with an automatic scanning curvilinear array transducer. The device is not intended to be used as a replacement for screening mammography.
Device Story
SoftVue is an automated tomographic B-mode diagnostic ultrasound system used as an adjunct to mammography. The patient lies prone with the breast submerged in a warm water imaging chamber. A built-in curvilinear transducer ring performs automated scanning. A camera provides live video for positioning. The system collects ultrasound data, which is processed by a reconstruction engine into B-mode image slices that can be stacked into a volumetric image. The system includes a water control system for de-gassing and warming, a computer control system, and a touchscreen console for operator input. Patient data is entered via touchscreen or barcode reader. Output consists of images stored on the system or transferred via DICOM to a PACS environment for clinical review. The device is operated by clinical users in a diagnostic setting to assist in breast imaging.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of non-clinical design verification and validation testing, including system performance evaluations, acoustic output testing, and simulated use tests using an anthropomorphic breast phantom seeded with 18 inclusions to measure resolution and contrast.
Technological Characteristics
Automated tomographic B-mode ultrasound system. Components: curvilinear transducer, water control system (de-gassing/warming), computer control, image reconstruction engine, data acquisition system. Connectivity: DICOM/PACS. Safety standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4, IEC 60601-2-37.
Indications for Use
Indicated for B-mode ultrasonic imaging of the breast in patients. Not for use as a replacement for screening mammography.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

#### Predicate Device 3.0
The predicate device is identified as the Sofia™ (ATUS) Imaging Device manufactured (ATUS) by iVu Imaging Corporation. The Sofia™ (ATUS) Imaging Device received market clearance under 510(k) number K080555.
#### 4.0 Device Description
Soft Vue is an automated tomographic B-mode diagnostic ultrasound system to be used as an adjunct to mammography for imaging a patient's breast. SoftVue is comprised of the following subsystems: the Transducer. Table/Housing. Water Control System, Computer Control System, Image Reconstruction System, Power System, and the Data Acquisition System.
{1}------------------------------------------------
SoftVue has a built-in curvilinear transducer that is used to acquire ultrasound images. I mages are acquired from a patient lying prone on the table with their breast submerged in an imaging chamber filled with warm (body temperature) water. The breast is positioned in the center of the transducer. A camera, located at the bottom of the imaging chamber provides a live video feed to the system operator to aid in positioning the patient's breast. Once the scan is initiated. the transducer collects data that are processed to produce a series of ultrasound image slices that can be stacked to vield a volumetric ultrasound image of the breast,
The Water Control System is used to de-gas and warm the water that is used as the image acquisition medium. The Computer Control System controls all of the functionality of the other subsystems. The reconstruction engine processes the image data acquired by the transducer ring into B-mode ultrasound images.
The system includes a barcode reader, touchscreen console (user interface), and display monitor. The touchscreen console and monitor allow the clinical user to perform an imaging procedure on a patient. Patient information is entered into the system using either the touchscreen console or the barcode reader. Device errors and warnings are displayed on the console and/or display.
Soft Vue outputs the image Storage Medium that allows the images to be stored until they are reviewed on a workstation or transferred via DICOM to a PACS environment.
#### 5.0 Intended Use
Soft Vue™ is indicated for use as a B-mode ultrasonic imaging system for imaging of a patient's breast when used with an automatic scanning curvilinear array transducer. The device is not intended to be used as a replacement for screening mammography.
#### Predicate Device Comparison 6.0
Delphinus Medical Technologies claims that the SoftVue device is substantially equivalent to the Sofia (ATUS) Imaging Device cleared by the FDA in K080555. Delphinus Medical Technologies claims substantial equivalence because the proposed device has an equivalent intended use. manufacturing materials, operating principles, physical and operational specifications as compared to the predicate device.
The SoftVue device and the predicate device utilize B-mode gravscale ultrasound images to achieve their intended use. Both the Sofia (ATUS) and Soft Vue are table-top systems and have automatic scanning transducers to image breast tissue.
The specific details regarding similarities and differences between SoftVue and iVu Sofia have been identified and explained in the Comparison Table section provided in Section 10 of this submission.
