Intended Use
It is intended for lesion location for biopsy while the patient is in the prone position to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, presurgical localization or treatment devices). The Affirm Prone Biopsy System combines the function of a standard x-ray mammography unit with that of a lesion localization system to produce a device that has specific application in first accurately localizing lesions in the breast in two and/or three dimensions, and then providing guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices) for lesions determined to be suspicious through prior mammographic examination.
Device Story
Affirm Prone Biopsy System is a mammographic x-ray system for prone patient positioning. It inputs 2D and 3D breast images to localize suspicious lesions identified in prior mammography. Physicians use the system to calculate target lesion depth and coordinates; then perform vacuum-assisted or needle core biopsies or wire localizations. The system features motorized biopsy device movement under user control, automatic detection of biopsy module connection, and audible alerts for mechanical interference. It is used in clinical settings by physicians. The output provides visual guidance for interventional procedures, enabling accurate targeting of breast lesions for diagnosis or treatment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device underwent design control verification and validation testing in accordance with 21 CFR Part 820 and met IEC 60601-2-45 standards for mammographic x-ray equipment and stereotactic devices.
Technological Characteristics
Mammographic x-ray system; prone biopsy table configuration. Supports 2D and 3D imaging for lesion localization. Includes biopsy guidance module with motorized movement. Safety features: automatic module detection, C-arm motion interlocks, and audible interference alerts. Complies with IEC 60601-2-45.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring localization and interventional guidance (biopsy, pre-surgical localization, or treatment) for breast lesions previously identified as suspicious via mammography.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A mammographic x-ray system is a device intended to be used to produce radiographs of the breast. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

#### 7. 510(k) SUMMARY
#### 1. Submitter:
Hologic, Inc. 36 Apple Ridge Rd. Danbury, CT 06810 USA Telephone: 508.263.8857
Contact: Sarah Fairfield, Principal Regulatory Affairs Specialist Date Prepared: December, 4 2015
#### 2. Device:
Trade Name: Affirm Prone Biopsy System Common Name: Mammographic x-ray system Classification Name: Mammographic x-ray system Regulation number: 21 CFR 892.1710 Product Code: IZH Class: II
#### 3. Predicate Device:
Multicare Platinum Prone Breast Biopsy Table (K030666) Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K122836)
#### 4. Device Description:
The Affirm Prone Biopsy Table is a mammographic x-ray system intended for lesion location while the patient is in the prone position. The subject device will be capable of both 2D and 3D imaging methods to calculate the target location. The system localizes suspicious lesions, as determined through prior mammographic examinations, using either stereotactic or tomosynthesis techniques. The system then affords a physician the capacity of performing vacuum assisted or needle core biopsy, or wire localization of the lesion.
Localization can be accomplished either via conventional 2D stereotactic imaging, or by use of a 3D data set. With the 3D data set, the image plane or "slice" most fully containing the suspected lesion is chosen by the physician from the data set to compute the lesion depth within the breast.
Safety features include:
- Automatic Detection of mounting, latching and connection of biopsy ● guidance module.
- C-arm motion is disabled if biopsy module is not locked in place
- Automatic compression release is disabled when biopsy guidance ● module is installed
{4}------------------------------------------------
- Motorized movement of biopsy device only occurs under user control
- . Audible alert if biopsy motion could result in mechanical interference.
#### 5. Intended Use:
It is intended for lesion location for biopsy while the patient is in the prone position to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, presurgical localization or treatment devices).
The Affirm Prone Biopsy System combines the function of a standard x-ray mammography unit with that of a lesion localization system to produce a device that has specific application in first accurately localizing lesions in the breast in two and/or three dimensions, and then providing guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices) for lesions determined to be suspicious through prior mammographic examination.
#### 6. Comparison of Characteristics:
The Affirm Prone Breast Biopsy System's design, operation, basic construction and materials used are substantially equivalent to the cleared Multicare Platinum System. The software enables use of either lesion localization in two and/or three dimensions for biopsy and is substantially equivalent to the cleared Affirm Breast Biopsy System (K122836). The Affirm Prone Biopsy System is substantially equivalent to and as safe and effective as the cleared the Multicare Platinum System (K030666) and the Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K122836), and poses no additional risks or hazards.
#### 7. Performance Testing:
The Affirm Prone Biopsy System meets IEC 60601-2-45 Medical Electrical Equipment - Safety of Mammographic X-ray Equipment and Mammographic Stereotactic Devices. Hologic successfully performed design control verification and validation tests in accordance with 21 CFR Part 820.
#### 8. Conclusion:
Based on the intended use, descriptive information and performance testing provided in this submission, the Affirm Prone Biopsy Table has been shown to be equivalent in technology, method of operation, functional performance and intended use to the predicates, Multicare Platinum Prone Breast Biopsy Table (K030666) and Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K122836).
