Intended Use
Pristina Serena 3D is an optional accessory of Senographe Pristina intended to provide accurate location of lesions in the breast in three dimensions.
Device Story
Pristina Serena 3D is a software-based biopsy guidance option for the Senographe Pristina mammography system. It utilizes DBT images to determine 3D coordinates (X, Y, Z) of breast lesions. The system calculates the required position for a motorized biopsy device holder based on lesion coordinates and system geometry. The radiologist selects a vertical or horizontal needle approach; the needle is inserted until it reaches a mechanical stop, ensuring the tip aligns with the target. Used in clinical settings by radiologists/technicians for interventional procedures. The device reduces patient dose by using a single DBT acquisition for both positioning and targeting, replacing the multiple X-ray acquisitions required by traditional stereotactic procedures. Output is visual guidance for accurate needle placement, facilitating biopsy or localization.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Evidence includes image quality and dose testing demonstrating performance equivalent to the Senographe Pristina 3D system, and design/usability validation confirming that the device functions according to specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based biopsy guidance option for Senographe Pristina. Uses DBT image chain and reconstruction. Motorized biopsy device holder. Supports vertical and horizontal needle approaches. Connectivity: Integrated into existing Senographe Pristina platform. No hardware modifications required. Complies with 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485.
Indications for Use
Indicated for providing 3D location of target lesions using Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) images to guide minimally invasive or interventional breast procedures, including vacuum-assisted biopsy, core biopsy, pre-surgical localization (e.g., hookwire), and fine needle aspirations (FNA).

| Device Description: | Pristina Serena 3D is DBT Biopsy System for Senographe Pristina. It is an additional option that builds upon the Pristina Serena device (GE Healthcare Stereotaxy biopsy option for Senographe Pristina platform). Pristina Serena was cleared on May 14, 2018 (K173576).<br><br>Pristina Serena 3D enables biopsy medical application to be done using Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) images.<br><br>The Pristina Serena 3D add-on includes the following items: Software: A new software version for the Senographe Pristina platform which includes software to manage the Pristina Serena 3D option. Labeling for the Biopsy DBT (3D) Medical application. Pristina Serena 3D option is compatible with previously installed Senographe Pristina systems. Pristina Serena 3D does not require any hardware modification on the Senographe Pristina platform. The hardware that was cleared on Pristina Serena 3D (K173576) was also not modified. |
| Intended Use: | Pristina Serena 3D 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 3D option provides the three-dimensional location of target lesions, using information obtained from Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) 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 (ENA) |
| Technology: | Pristina Serena 3D uses the DBT images to determine the three-dimensional (3D) location (X, Y and Z coordinates) of an object of interest in the breast (such as a suspicious lesion). The X and Y coordinates are determined directly from the displayed plane as it is parallel to the detector while the Z coordinate is determined with the height of this same plane in the whole reconstructed volume.<br>The target lesion 3D coordinates information, together with the complete geometry of the device, are used to compute the required position of a biopsy device holder that will allow intervention in the breast at the exact target position (biopsy of sample tissue or placement of a hook wire for guidance of surgical interventions). With Pristina Serena 3D, the positioning of the biopsy device holder is motorized and takes into account the geometry of the biopsy needles, so when the biopsy device holder is in place, the user introduces the needle in the breast until reaching the mechanical stop of the biopsy device holder. As the biopsy needle is fixed on and guided by the biopsy device holder (not handed), the needle tip (or notch) will then be at the target lesion 3D coordinates.<br>As it was for Pristina Serena option, the Pristina Serena 3D allows two different needle approaches for Biopsy: vertical and horizontal (left or right). In vertical approach, the needle is introduced from the “top” of the compressed breast. In horizontal approach, the needle is introduced from the side of the compressed breast. Depending on patient morphology and location of the lesion to be biopsied in the breast, a radiologist might choose an approach or the other. Usually an effort is made to use an approach that would limit the distance crossed by the needle in the breast to reach the target location.<br>Since Pristina Serena 3D option uses the Image chain of the Senographe Pristina platform, the image quality of images during the biopsy procedure is equivalent to that of standard screening/diagnostic images of Senographe Pristina 3D.<br>Regarding dose management, with Pristina Serena 3D, a single DBT acquisition allows for both confirming appropriate breast positioning and for lesion targeting (as opposed to a Stereotaxy procedure that requires three X-ray acquisitions: one scout image |
| | plus a stereotaxic pair). This translates into dose reduction to<br>patient. |
| Comparison with<br>Reference Devices | In regards with Image Quality / Image processing, the Proposed<br>device and the reference device Senographe Pristina 3D<br>(P130020/S002 and S003) both use the same DBT image chain<br>and DBT reconstruction.<br>Regarding dose management, the Proposed Pristina Serena 3D<br>uses a single AOP mode available when acquiring biopsy<br>images. This AOP mode provides the same parameters as the<br>Senographe Pristina 3D AOP mode called "STD+"<br>(P130020/S003 3D STD+ on Senographe Pristina 3D<br>submission). |
| | The Proposed Pristina Serena 3D and the reference device<br>Hologic's Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K122836)<br>and Affirm Lateral Arm Upright Biopsy Accessory (K161575),<br>both DBT features use tomosynthesis images to provide accurate<br>location of lesions in the breast in three dimensions.<br>Both 3D localization features calculate a three dimensional<br>location for percutaneous placement for biopsy, pre-surgical<br>localization or treatment devices. |
| | It is important to note also that the Senographe Pristina with<br>Pristina Serena and Pristina Serena 3D offer both the 2D<br>stereotactic or 3D tomosynthesis image acquisition.<br>Both DBT features use the same method of use, they both use a<br>Dedicated Breast Biopsy Positioner, same mechanism of action<br>and same stated accuracy. They have the same Stereotactic<br>Angle (±15°) but they differ slightly in DBT Tomographic angle<br>15° total (± 7.5 degrees) for Hologics reference device versus<br>25° total (± 12.5°) (which has no impact on the target coordinate<br>computation for biopsy applications). |
| Determination of<br>Substantial Equivalence: | The device has successfully completed required design control<br>testing per GE Healthcare's quality management system. No<br>unexpected test results were obtained. The Pristina Serena 3D<br>option was designed and will be manufactured under the Quality<br>System Regulations of 21CFR 820 and ISO 13485.
