Indications for Use

Affirm® Contrast Biopsy is indicated as an optional accessory for the Selenia Dimensions 2D Full Field Digital Mammography System and 3Dimensions system. It is designed to allow the accurate location of lesions in the breast in three dimensions, using information extracted from stereotactic pairs of two-dimensional images. It is intended to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices). Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) is an extension of the existing indication for diagnostic mammography with the Selenia Dimensions system. Biopsy targeting can be done on captured contrast enhanced images (scout and stereo pair). The CEDM application shall enable contrast imaging using a dual energy technique. This imaging technique can be used as an adjunct following mammography and/or ultrasound exams to localize a known or suspected lesion. Affirm® Contrast Biopsy is intended for patients recommended for biopsy who have had a suspicious finding on previous contrast enhanced imaging or have lesions that may be occult under other modalities.

Device Story

Software accessory for Selenia Dimensions/3Dimensions mammography systems; enables biopsy targeting using contrast-enhanced images. Inputs: dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) scout and stereo pair images captured at +/- 15-degree angles following IV iodinated contrast injection. Operation: clinician identifies target lesion on low-energy and subtracted image pairs via on-screen cursors; software performs trigonometric calculations to determine 3D Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z). Output: coordinates sent to biopsy control module on gantry for automated positioning of biopsy device. Used in clinical settings by radiologists/technicians. Benefits: enables visualization and biopsy of lesions occult or difficult to target with standard modalities. Risks: additional radiation dose (~25% increase over standard stereotactic biopsy) and potential allergic reaction to contrast agent. Mitigated by hospital procedural guidelines, patient screening (GFR), and acute care readiness.

K123873 (cleared January 29, 2013) {5}------------------------------------------------ ## Device Description The proposed Affirm® Contrast Biopsy is a licensable software for the Selenia Dimensions and 3Dimensions system platforms (P010025 and P08003, respectively). The proposed software option will be used with the Affirm® Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K103512). The proposed software is a stereotactic lesion localization system option for the Dimensions systems. It allows clinicians to perform biopsy targeting on captured contrast enhanced images. Affirm® Contrast Biopsy uses the same workflow as stereotactic biopsy, substituting standard scout and stereo pair views with contrast enhanced views captured at the associated angles. The proposed device is compatible with the standard vertical biopsy approach as well as the right or left lateral approach. Affirm® Contrast Biopsy introduces new software and labeling. There are no changes to the Dimensions platform and Affirm® Breast Biopsy Guidance System hardware, platform software architecture, or stereotactic function as a result of the proposed software. ### Indications for Use The Affirm® Contrast Biopsy is indicated as an optional accessory for the Selenia Dimensions 2D Full Field Digital Mammography System and 3Dimensions system. It is designed to allow the accurate location of lesions in the breast in three dimensions, using information extracted from stereotactic pairs of two-dimensional images. It is intended to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices). Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM) is an extension of the existing indication for diagnostic mammography with the Selenia Dimensions system and 3Dimensions system. Biopsy targeting can be done on captured contrast enhanced images (scout and stereo pair). The CEDM application shall enable contrast enhanced breast imaging using a dual energy technique. This imaging technique can be used as an adjunct following mammography and/or ultrasound exams to localize a known or suspected lesion. Affirm® Contrast Biopsy is intended for patients recommended for biopsy who have had a suspicious finding on previous contrast enhanced imaging or have lesions that may be occult under other modalities. ### Technological Characteristics The Affirm® Contrast Biopsy uses the same technological principles as that of the cleared Affirm® Breast Biopsy Guidance System; however, Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (K123873) images are utilized instead of standard scout and standard stereo pair images. In the proposed device the lesion will be localized by 2D stereotactic image acquisition of the lesion enhancement after an IV injection of an iodinated contrast agent. Stereo pair images are captured at plus and minus 15-degree angles using Dual Energy Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (CEDM). Low energy, and subtracted images can be displayed on the Acquisition Workstation monitor and are used for targeting purposes. The user then positions on-screen cursors to identify the position of the target lesion in the projected image pairs. Utilizing the target lesion information from these acquired images, the software uses trigonometric calculations to determine the Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, and Z) of the targeted lesion within the breast. The calculated coordinates of the targeted lesion are sent to the Affirm biopsy control module mounted on the Selenia Dimensions Gantry C-Arm, which positions the biopsy device under user guidance in preparation of the biopsy procedure. {6}------------------------------------------------ # Comparison with Predicate Devices The Affirm® Contrast Biopsy and its predicate device, Affirm® Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K103512) and reference device, Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (K123873), have the same or similar intended use, technological characteristics, and operational use. # Summary of Substantial Equivalence {7}------------------------------------------------ | | Affirm® Breast<br>Biopsy Guidance<br>System | I-View™/ Contrast<br>Enhanced Digital<br>Mammography<br>(CEDM) | Affirm® Contrast<br>Biopsy | Comparison | |---------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Features and<br>Characteristics | Primary Predicate<br>(K103512) | Reference Device<br>(K123873) | Proposed | | | Indications for<br>Use | The Affirm®<br>Breast Biopsy<br>Guidance System<br>is an optional<br>accessory for the<br>Selenia<br>Dimensions 2D<br>Full Field Digital<br>Mammography<br>System.

Design verification testing demonstrates the proposed device complies with design specifications. The proposed device was developed under Hologic's Quality Management System which adheres to 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485:2016. Risk management activities, in accordance with ISO 14971:2019, demonstrate that the risks associated with the use of the Affirm® Contrast Biopsy software are mitigated as far as possible. Analyses of these activities indicate the benefits associated with the use of the Affirm® Contrast Biopsy outweigh the residual risks. The software, and performance showed that the overall system demonstrated equivalent performance and equivalent safety and effectiveness as the predicate Affirm® Breast Biopsy Guidance System (K103512) and reference Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography (K123873). ## Benefit-Risk Analysis The benefit of the device is to allow visualization and biopsy of suspicious lesions that may otherwise be occult or difficult to confidently target using other modalities. The main risks are the additional radiation dose and exposure to contrast agents. The radiation dose is approximately 25% greater than performing FFDM stereotactic biopsy, and per exposure would be about the same as the reference device operating in 2D contrast enhanced imaging mode. The exposure of the patient to the iodinated contrast agent presents another risk. Although the probability of occurrence is remote, the most significant additional risk to a patient during a contrast enhanced biopsy procedure relative to a stereotactic biopsy is an allergic reaction to the injected contrast agent which could potentially result in a life threatening aphylactic reaction. Recent estimates suggest that the rate of acute adverse events for low-osmolar contrast agents is approximately 0.2%-0.7%, with a severe acute reactions being approximately 0.04%. This risk is mitigated via procedural guidelines set up in hospitals which cover training, pre-screening of patients' kidney function (i.e.; glomerular filtration rate or GFR), and appropriate acute care readiness (e.g., "crash carts"), as may be expected to be in place for the reference device as well. Furthermore, if the patient has had previous exposure to iodinated contrast agents safely with no adverse reaction, such as a contrast-enhanced digital mammography exam, then this risk will be additionally reduced. These additional radiation and contrast agent risks are therefore likely outweighed by the benefits of the device for patients recommended for biopsy who have had a suspicious finding on previous contrast enhanced imaging or have lesions that may be occult under other modalities. ### Conclusion The Affirm® Contrast Biopsy is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device, Affirm Breast Biopsy Guidance System cleared on January 08, 2011 via K103512, and the legally marketed reference device, Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography, cleared on January 29, 2013 via K123873. The indications for use and fundamental scientific technology of the proposed device are the same or similar to that of the Affirm® Breast Biopsy Guidance System and Contrast Enhanced Digital Mammography.
