Intended Use

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

Device Story

Pristina Serena Bright is a software-based biopsy guidance option for the Senographe Pristina mammography platform. It utilizes Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) to identify suspicious lesions not clearly visible on standard mammography or ultrasound. The system acquires stereotactic pairs of 2D X-ray images under breast compression to calculate 3D (X, Y, Z) coordinates of target lesions. The device uses a motorized biopsy holder, compatible with vertical or horizontal needle approaches, to guide biopsy needles or localization wires to the target. Operated by radiologists in clinical settings, the system provides visual guidance for needle placement. By enabling contrast-enhanced targeting, it allows for earlier cancer detection and treatment initiation compared to standard imaging, while offering a less invasive, faster, and more comfortable alternative to MRI-guided biopsy for patients with claustrophobia or metallic implants.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Verification included image quality and dose testing demonstrating performance equivalent to SenoBright HD. Biopsy accuracy testing verified geometric alignment between target lesions on X-ray stereo pairs and actual needle tip/notch position. Compatibility testing confirmed the biopsy application functions within the timeframe of contrast agent visibility.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based option for Senographe Pristina platform. Uses CESM imaging chain. Motorized biopsy device holder supports vertical and horizontal needle approaches. Connectivity: Integrated into existing Senographe Pristina system. No hardware modifications required. Developed under ISO 13485 and 21 CFR 820.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with suspicious lesions only seen with certainty when imaged with a contrast agent or that do not have a definite correlate on mammography or ultrasound. Provides 3D location of target lesions using stereotactic pairs of 2D X-ray images acquired with Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) under breast compression. Guides minimally invasive/interventional breast procedures: vacuum-assisted biopsy, core biopsy, pre-surgical localization (e.g., hookwire), and fine needle aspirations (FNA).

It is an additional software 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). | | | | | | Pristina Serena Bright enables biopsy medical application to be done using Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography images. The Pristina Serena Bright add-on includes the following items: Software: A new software version for the Senographe Pristina platform which includes software to manage the Pristina Serena Bright option. Labeling for the CESM Biopsy Medical application. | | | Pristina Serena Bright option is compatible with previously installed Senographe Pristina systems. Pristina Serena Bright does not require any hardware modification on the Senographe Pristina platform. The hardware that was cleared on Pristina Serena (K173576) was also not modified. | | Intended Use: | Pristina Serena Bright 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 Bright option provides the three-dimensional location of target lesions, using information obtained from stereotactic pairs of two-dimensional X-ray images acquired with Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) under the same breast compression. 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). CESM-Biopsy application is indicated for patients with suspicious lesions only seen with certainty when imaged with a contrast agent or that do not have a definite correlate on mammography or ultrasound. | | Technology: | Pristina Serena Bright reuses the Stereotaxy principle of the cleared device Pristina Serena with Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) images instead of 2D 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). With Pristina Serena Bright, the stereotaxy biopsy process uses a stereo | | | | | | breast at the exact target position (biopsy of sample tissue or placement of a hook wire for guidance of surgical interventions). With Pristina Serena Bright reuses the positioning of the biopsy device holder from Pristina Serena which 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. | | | As it was for Pristina Serena option, the Pristina Serena Bright 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. | | | Pristina Serena Bright option uses the Image chain of the Senographe Pristina platform with SenoBright HD (CESM application) thus the image quality of images during the biopsy procedure is equivalent to that of SenoBright HD . | | Substantial Equivalence / Predicate and Reference Devices | The Pristina Serena Bright has identical intended use and substantially equivalent indications for use to its legally marketed predicate device, the Pristina Serena . The functionalities, specifications and technological characteristics of Pristina Serena Bright option are identical or equivalent to Pristina Serena . The principles of operation, image quality and dose characteristics and performances of the Pristina Serena Bright are equivalent to those of the reference device SenoBright HD . The Pristina Serena Bright was designed to provide an image quality performance equivalent to SenoBright HD and the same accuracy as Pristina Serena as demonstrated in Image Quality and Accuracy Performance Testing. | | Benefit-Risk Analysis: | The proposed Pristina Serena Bright device offers the same benefits and risk as the predicate device Pristina Serena except for the following: Improved benefit by allowing to perform breast biopsy for patients with suspicious findings only clearly seen when imaged with a contrast agent or that do not have a definite correlate on mammography or ultrasound, meaning potential earlier detection of breast cancer and earlier initiation of treatment. Increased risk due to the use of contrast agent injection. The same contrast injection protocols are used in CESM and CESM- guided Biopsy, so this risk is identical to the Reference device SenoBright HD for CESM diagnostic imaging. As compared to the alternative standard of care MRI-guided Biopsy, Pristina Serena Bright might offer the following benefits: From a workflow and access perspective: potential benefit with regards to reduced cost and faster access. From a patient perspective: potentially improved patient comfort for patients with claustrophobia and allows to handle patients that cannot be imaged with MRI due to the presence of metallic objects in their body and is a shorter procedure. Regarding the other alternative to CESM-guided Biopsy, i.e. surgical biopsy, it presents a higher risk profile as it is a more invasive procedure, it has a longer recovery time and it has a higher risk of infection and bruising. Besides it might remain difficult for the surgeon to localize the appropriate area to be biopsied as no biopsy hook/wire would have been able to be placed in the breast prior to surgery. | | | Overall GE Healthcare believes that as the increased risk is accompanied by an increase in benefit, the proposed device has a comparable benefit-risk profile to the predicate device. | | Determination of Substantial Equivalence: | Pristina Serena Bright has successfully completed required design control testing per GE Healthcare's quality management system. No unexpected test results were obtained. This new device 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) | | | The safety and performance of the Pristina Serena Bright option was demonstrated through full verification testing and additional engineering bench performance testing such as: - Non-Clinical Data – Image Quality and Dose test that demonstrates that images acquired with Pristina Serena Bright are of same quality as images acquired with Senographe Pristina with SenoBright HD at similar dose levels. - Non-Clinical Data – 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). - Non-clinical Data – Study that demonstrates the compatibility of the biopsy application on the Pristina Serena platform with the timeframe of the contrast agent visibility in the breast. These tests were performed to provide the requisite data to substantiate performance and substantial equivalence. The testing demonstrated that Pristina Serena Bright performs according to specifications and functions as intended. | | Conclusion: | Based on: conformance to standards; development under GE Healthcare's quality management system and design controls; benefit- risk analysis, successful verification/validation testing and additional bench performance testing and clinical testing, GE Healthcare believes that the Pristina Serena Bright option is substantially equivalent to its predicate device Pristina Serena (K173576) and reference device SenoBright HD (K162268). Therefore, GE concludes that Pristina Serena Bright is as safe and effective for its intended use as its predicate device. | {5}------------------------------------------------ # GE Healthcare ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the General Electric (GE) logo.
