### Technological Characteristics
The Breast Volume Navigator (BVN™) Model G-2000, hereinafter maybe referred to as the BVN™ G-2000 System or the BVN™ System, comprises hardware components and a software element, including the following components: a magnetic position tracking device, sensor attaching pieces used to attach magnetic sensors to the skin and ultrasound probe, a central control unit computer, and software for controlling the system, collecting, and processing ultrasound images and positional data, and performing automated annotations.
The BVN™ System has a touch-screen user interface and push-button for power on the system.
The Use Interface (touchscreen display and central control unit computer) are placed on a medical grade cart that can be positioned next to a standard adjustable examination table for ease of use and ergonomic adaptation.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The BVN™ System has a USB port available for transferring files via USB Memory Stick.
The BVN™ System has an Ethernet port for connection to a PACS system, using DICOM.
The BVN™ System has a VGA/DVI Input Ports for capturing images from an ultrasound imaging scanner.
The BVN™ System receives ultrasound DICOM images from the US machine via the network connection and telemetry data from a position tracking system. The BVN™ automatically detects when the image is being frozen on the US machine and takes a snapshot of the telemetry data at that time. Later, when the BVN™ receives the DICOM image, it associates the telemetry data to the image from the time when the image was frozen on the US machine.
A Completeness-of-Scan Assessment ensures that all breast tissue has been sufficiently covered, the BVN™ System will achieve this by tracking the real-time position of the probe relative to the breast and chest wall to ensure the entire breast volume has been covered with sufficient detail to allow the detection of sub centimeter lesions. As the probe is swept over the breast region, the technician will be provided a completeness map highlighting the portions of the breast that have not been sufficiently scanned. The BVN™ System will provide the operator a display of regions with insufficient coverage, prompting the operator to rescan these regions. The BVN™ System can retrieve previous examinations DICOM images allowing the user to enter positional data from another/previous ultrasound examination for follow-up purposes. Any anomalies discovered during the follow-up process can be evaluated using the localization and measurement tools included in the software.
The customer's existing ultrasound probe securely attaches to the BVN™ System probe sensor. During a scan, the operator applies constant pressure to the transducer against the patient's breast tissue and can rotate the transducer (pitch and roll) to accommodate for the physical characteristics of the breast.
Exam data is subsequently reviewed on standard radiological viewing stations.
Pursuant to 809.92(a)(6), MetriTrack, Inc. claims that the Breast Volume Navigator (BVNTM) Model G-2000 system is substantially equivalent to the devices previously cleared by FDA in K141871, K171309, and K171709 MetriTrack, Inc. claims this equivalence because the proposed devices have an equivalent intended use, manufacturing materials, operating principles, and physical and operational specifications compared to the predicate devices:
- lt has the same intended use as the predicate devices (ultrasound . image capture).
- lt has the same technological characteristics as the predicate . devices (use of magnetic sensors to track spatial relationships).
- The BVN™ System and the predicated devices listed above are ● accessories to an Ultrasonic Pulsed Echo Imaging System that have a Moderate Level of Concern.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The MetriTrack BVN™ G-2000 Software Application is Safety Class B according to ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62304 Ed. 1.1:2015 Medical device software - Software life cycle processes. Determination of the LOC and Safety Class is the result of risk assessment activities per ISO 14971. The Primary risks of the BVN™ G-2000 Software Application are related to the consequences of clinical decisions based on false positive and false negative results for a patient due to inaccurate result. For a false positive result, the risks could include unnecessary testing or inappropriate treatment related to an inaccurate result. For a false negative result, the risk could include a missed or delayed diagnosis, the following measures are intended to mitigate the risks and shall be communicated to the users:
- 1) The BVN™ G-2000 System is not intended to be used as the sole means for patient diagnosis or patient management decisions. The results should only be used in conjunction with the patient's clinical history.
- 2) All software-aided results must be reviewed and confirmed by a qualified physician. It is the responsibility of a qualified physician to employ appropriate procedures and safeguards to assure the validity of the interpretation of results obtained. No patient report can be created if the qualified physician does not confirm the result.
Further, MetriTrack, Inc. has determined that its device advances the field without deviating from the scope and spirit of the Act by enabling the user to visualize the ultrasound probe position and orientation over the patient's breast diagram in real time and perform automatic annotation in a stand-alone device that works with any standard ultrasound imaging system which have been previously cleared by FDA under the 510(k) process.

- Accuracy and Precision of Clock Face Angle: accuracy and precision of ≤ 5 degrees for measuring the Clock Face Angle of a target in a breast.
- . Accuracy and Precision of Patient Body Angles: accuracy and precision of ≤ 5 degrees for measuring the angles of the patient body relative to the examination bed in all three anatomical planes, i.e., Coronal, Transverse, and Sagittal planes.
- Accuracy and Precision of Linear Accuracy: accuracy and precision of ≤ . 1 mm for measuring the linear accuracy between two points in the ultrasound image at one standard deviation.
- 2. The completeness of scan accuracy has been tested using a Rigid Test Phantom to track the real-time position of the ultrasound probe relative to the region scanned to ensure that the entire scanning volume has been sufficiently scanned. In this environment the BVN™ System has achieved the following:
{13}------------------------------------------------
- Completeness of Scanning Breast Contour Accuracy: BVN™ accurately ● captured and represented the hand drawn breast contour with a maximum positional error of +/- 5 mm in the X-Y plane.
- . BVN™ correctly calculated the overlap between adjacent scanning bands and identified the occurrence of when this overlap is less than the set threshold as to ensure breast tissue is not missed between images: BVN™ was able to discern when overlaps of adjacent bands are less than a set threshold within a range of 5 to 30 mm ± 2 mm of overlap.
- 3D Point Coordinates of Image Corners Velocity: BVN™ detected 3D . Point coordinates of image corners velocity above and below a set threshold within a range of 15 to 50 mm/s +/- 10% at 1 standard deviation as to ensure breast tissue is not missed between images.
