It is designed to allow the accurate localization of lesions in the breast in three dimensions. It is intended to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices). ## Device Story Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System functions as an accessory to Selenia Dimensions Mammography System; enables 3D tomosynthesis or 2D stereotactic lesion localization. Input: X-ray images from mammography system. Transformation: System calculates 3D coordinates for percutaneous needle placement. Output: Guidance for biopsy, pre-surgical localization, or treatment device placement. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Safety features: automatic detection of module mounting/latching; C-arm motion lockout when module not secured; compression release inhibition; user-controlled motorized movement; audible alerts for mechanical interference. Benefits: precise targeting of breast lesions for interventional procedures. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Verification and validation performed in accordance with 21 CFR Part 820. Compliance with IEC 60601-2-45 (Safety of Mammographic X-ray Equipment and Mammographic Stereotactic Devices) confirmed. ## Technological Characteristics Accessory module for Selenia Dimensions Mammography System. Sensing/actuation: stereotactic and 3D tomosynthesis localization algorithms. Connectivity: integrated with mammography system. Safety: electromechanical interlocks for C-arm motion and compression release. Software: updated to support 3D tomosynthesis calculations. ## Regulatory Identification A mammographic x-ray system is a device intended to be used to produce radiographs of the breast. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories. ## Predicate Devices - Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System ([K103512](/device/K103512.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K122836 Modified Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System Special 510(k) Premarket Notification ## 510(k) Summary JAN 1 1 2013 This 510(k) summary is submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR Part 807.92 Product Name: Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System Product Classification Name: Mammographic X-Ray System Product Classification Code: 90 IZH CFR Section: 892.1710 Classification Panel: · Radiology Class II Manufacturer: Hologic, Inc. 36-37 Apple Ridge Road Danbury, CT 06810 USA | Contact Person: | Gail Yaeker-Daunis | |-------------------|--------------------| | Telephone Number: | (203) 731-8337 | | Fax Number: | (203) 731-8440 | Date Prepared: August 14, 2012 Predicate Device: Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System, K103512 #### Device Description: The Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System is used with Selenia Dimensions 2D or with Selenia Dimensions 3D tomosynthesis. Lesion location can be obtained from either 2D stereotactic or 3D tomosynthesis image acquisition. Both stereotactic and 3D localization calculate a three dimensional location for percutaneous placement for biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices. Safety Features include: - Automatic detection of mounting, latching, and connection of biopsy guidance . module - C-arm motion disabled if biopsy guidance module is not locked in place ● - Automatic compression release disabled when biopsy guidance module installed . - Motorized movement of biopsy device only under user control � - Audible alert if biopsy device motion could result in mechanical interference ● #### Indications for Use: {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Hologic, Inc. #### Modified Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System Special 510(k) Premarket Notification The Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System is an optional accessory for the Selenia Dimensions Mammography System. It is designed to allow the accurate localization of lesions in the breast in three dimensions. It is intended to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices). #### Comparison with Predicate Devices: The modified Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System is substantially equivalent to Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System which was cleared as K103512 for use with the Selenia Dimensions 2D Mammography system to provide localization of areas of concern for performance of breast biopsies. The intended use is the same using either stereotactic or 3D tomosynthesis lesion localization for biopsy with Selenia Dimensions Mammography System. #### Summary of Testing: The Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System meets IEC 60601-2-45 Medical Electrical Equipment - Safety of Mammographic X-ray Equipment and Mammographic Stereotactic Devices. Hologic successfully performed design control verification and validation tests in accordance with 21 CFR Part 820. #### Conclusion: The Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System's design, operation, construction and materials are unchanged from the cleared Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System. A software change enables use of either stereotactic or 3D tomosynthesis calculations for lesion localization for biopsy when the Affirm is used with a Selenia Dimensions 3D system . There is no change to the device when used with the Selenia Dimensions 2D system. Accuracy can be verified during the biopsy process. The 3D tomosynthesis lesion location is substantially equivalent to and as safe and effective as the cleared Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System and poses no additional risks or hazards. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
