Intended Use

Pristina Serena is an optional accessory of Senographe Pristina intended to provide accurate location of lesions in the breast in three dimensions.

Device Story

Pristina Serena is a hardware/software add-on for the Senographe Pristina mammography platform. It uses stereotaxy to determine 3D coordinates (X, Y, Z) of breast lesions. Input: stereo pair of +/-15° angulated 2D low-dose X-ray images of compressed breast. Operation: user identifies lesion in both images; system computes 3D coordinates and calculates required position for biopsy device holder. Hardware includes Biopsy Positioner (BP) replacing Imaging Bucky, dedicated compression paddles, and mechanical adaptors. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Output: mechanical guidance for biopsy or hookwire placement. Benefits: enables accurate targeting for minimally invasive breast interventions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance demonstrated through engineering bench testing, including biopsy accuracy (verification of geometric accuracy between target lesion on X-ray and actual needle tip position) and image quality/dose performance testing. Software verified via unit, integration, and system-level testing. Simulated use testing performed for validation.

Technological Characteristics

Hardware add-on for Senographe Pristina; includes Biopsy Positioner, compression paddles, and mechanical adaptors. Uses stereotactic X-ray imaging principle. Software-managed. Manufactured under 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485 quality standards.

The stereotaxy biopsy process uses a stereo pair of +/-15° angulated 2D low-dose X-ray images of the compressed breast. The user identifies the point of interest in each image of the stereo pair, Pristina Serena computes the three dimensions coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the user-specified location in the stereo pair. Pristina Serena uses the target lesion 3D coordinates and information on the geometry of the biopsy device to compute the position of a biopsy device holder that will allow intervention in the breast at the targeted position (biopsy of sample tissue or placement of a hookwire for guidance of surgical interventions). The Pristina Serena add-on includes the following items: Hardware: a Biopsy Positioner (BP) the main hardware component of the Pristina Serena option. It can be mounted on the Senographe Pristina in lieu of the Imaging Bucky. The purpose of the BP is to allows breast positioning and mechanical guidance to the target lesion for Biopsy medical application; dedicated breast compression paddles for Biopsy application; mechanical adaptors: pieces of hardware to allow mounting of several kind of biopsy devices on the Biopsy positioner arm. Software: A new software version for the Senographe Pristina platform which includes software to manage the Pristina Serena option. Labeling for the Biopsy Medical application. | | | Pristina Serena option is compatible with previously installed Senographe Pristina systems. Pristina Serena does not require any hardware modification on the Senographe Pristina platform. | | Intended Use: | Pristina Serena is an optional accessory of Senographe Pristina intended to provide accurate location of lesions in the breast in three dimensions. | | Indications for Use | The Pristina Serena option provides the three-dimensional location of target lesions, using information obtained from stereotactic pairs of two-dimensional X-ray images. This information provides guidance for a variety of minimally invasive or interventional procedures in the | | | breast such as: vacuum assisted biopsy, core biopsy, pre-surgical localization (e.g. hookwire), and fine needle aspirations (FNA). | | Device Comparison: | Pristina Serena uses the same fundamental technology as Senographe Stereo in terms of lesion targeting technique (2D stereotactic biopsy), stereotactic angle, needle approach (vertical or lateral), field of view and attainable breast volume. Like its predicate, Pristina Serena supports various breast biopsy and intervention devices. The targeting accuracy of Pristina Serena is equivalent to that of Senographe Stereo. The main differences between Pristina Serena and Senographe Stereo include: - Ability to target a lesion above the compression paddle in vertical approach; - Ability to switch needle approach without patient repositioning; - A tilted needle axis to accommodate future 3D biopsy application. Pristina Serena uses the image chain of the Senographe Pristina mammography platform, therefore delivering images of quality equivalent to that of standard screening/diagnostic images. | | Performance Testing | The safety and performance of the Pristina Serena option was demonstrated through engineering bench performance testing such as: Biopsy accuracy testing: verification of the geometrical accuracy between the target lesion identified on the X-ray Stereo pair images and the actual position of the biopsy needle tip (or needle notch). Image quality and dose performance testing to confirm that performance in Biopsy mode with Pristina Serena is substantially equivalent to that of Senographe Pristina screening/diagnostic imaging system. In addition, the device has successfully completed required design control testing per GE Healthcare's quality management system. No unexpected test results were obtained. The Pristina Serena option was designed and will be manufactured under the Quality System Regulations of 21CFR 820 and ISO 13485. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system: Risk Analysis Design Reviews | | | Software Development Lifecycle Testing on unit level (Module verification) Integration testing (System verification) Performance testing (Verification) Safety testing (Verification) Simulated use testing (Validation) These tests were performed to provide the requisite data to substantiate performance, claims, and ultimately substantial equivalence. Testing demonstrated that Pristina Serena performs according to specifications and functions as intended. | | Substantial Equivalence Determination: | Pristina Serena has the same indications for use as its predicate Device. It uses the same fundamental technology as Senographe Stereo. Differences between Pristina Serena and Senographe Stereo do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The impact of differences between the predicate and new device has been assessed using established methods. Testing including conformance to standards; successful verification/validation; and additional bench performance testing, establish that Pristina Serena is substantially equivalent to its predicate Senographe Stereo (K040125) for biopsy functions and reference predicate Senographe Pristina (K162268) for imaging performance. | {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the General Electric (GE) logo.
