Intended Use
The Mammotome Prima™ MR Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System is intended to acquire breast tissue from an imaged abnormality during MRI-guided breast biopsy procedures for histologic examination. The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be reliably determined from an imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
Device Story
Battery-operated, vacuum-assisted breast biopsy system for MRI-guided procedures; used inside MR procedure room. System comprises cordless control module, foot switch, battery, and disposable 8-gauge probe/targeting set. Operates via vacuum and radial cutting functions to excise breast tissue. Tissue specimens collected into needle aperture; automatic retrieval via removable basket for formalin placement. Facilitates diagnostic sampling of imaged abnormalities. Enables minimally invasive tissue removal; assists clinicians in obtaining histologic samples for malignancy assessment. Benefits include improved workflow via automatic specimen retrieval compared to manual predicate methods.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of non-clinical performance testing: bench verification (battery reliability, targeting accuracy, force to penetrate), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, -5, -10, -11, -23), electrical safety/EMC (IEC 60601 series), and animal study. Animal study confirmed equivalent sample acquisition percentage and quality (pathologist-rated excellent) compared to predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel, polycarbonate, PEEK, L605 alloy, PVC. Energy: Battery-operated. Sterilization: Radiation. Components: Cordless control module, 8G probe, targeting set. Standards: ASTM F2213-17 (torque), ASTM F2182-19e2 (RF heating), ASTM F2503-23e1 (MR safety), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), IEC 60601-1/2-2 (electrical/EMC).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring breast tissue acquisition from imaged abnormalities during MRI-guided biopsy procedures for histologic examination.

Dear Prithul Bom:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

## Devicor Medical Products, Inc. Mammotome Prima™ MR Dual Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System
The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be reliably determined from an imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
## SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Mammotome Prima™ MR Dual Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System has the same general intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared predicate device, Mammotome MR Biopsy System (K042753).
Both Mammotome Prima™ MR Dual Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System and Mammotome MR Biopsy System use both sterile, single use and reusable components. Primary components for both systems include a probe, targeting set and control module.
Both devices are MR-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy devices intended to retrieve breast tissue specimens for histological evaluation. The two systems are based on the same fundamental scientific principles and core technological characteristics:
Both utilize stainless steel cutting elements to excise tissue specimen from the breast.
Both devices facilitate removal and diagnostic sampling of tissue using fluid management through a combination of vacuum and radial cutting functions.
In summary, design differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance test data demonstrate Mammotome Prima™ MR Dual Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System's ability to safely and effectively achieve its intended use and support the substantial equivalence to the predicate. A table comparing the key features of the subject and predicate devices is provided below.
