Intended Use
The Senographe Pristina system is intended to be used in the same clinical applications as traditional mammographic film/screen systems. It generates digital mammographic images which can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer.
Device Story
Senographe Pristina is a Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system. This modification introduces a patient-assisted compression (Self-Compression) option. The system includes a handheld wireless remote control allowing patients to adjust breast compression force during positioning. The remote transmits commands to a wireless receiver on the FFDM unit, which then raises or lowers the compression paddle if safety conditions are met. The technologist initiates the process and guides the patient to reach adequate compression. The device is used in clinical settings by technologists and patients. The output is digital mammographic images used by radiologists for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. The primary benefit is reduced patient pain and discomfort by providing the patient an active role in compression.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation conducted on 30 patients undergoing standard CC and MLO FFDM views. Image quality assessed by MQSA-qualified radiologists using FDA Class II Special Controls guidance criteria. Results showed patient-assisted compression produced images of similar quality to technologist-applied compression.
Technological Characteristics
Full-Field Digital Mammography system. New technological characteristic: wireless remote control and paired wireless receiver for compression adjustment. System includes wired compression footswitches. Operates as an FFDM unit.
Indications for Use
Indicated for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer in patients requiring mammographic imaging.

| Device Description: | Patient-assisted compression (Self-Compression) is an option of the<br>Senographe Pristina Full Field Digital Mammography system. It<br>consists of a handheld wireless remote control to allow patient to<br>adjust the compression force during breast positioning. The remote<br>transmits the compression command to the Senographe Pristina.<br>Senographe Pristina executes the command by raising or lowering<br>the compression paddle, if conditions for motion are met. |
| | Patient-assisted compression is designed to minimize patients perceived pain and discomfort by giving them an active role in the application of compression. The technologist positions the patient and initiates compression. The technologist then guides the patient while she operates the remote to gradually increase compression until she reaches adequate compression. |
| Indications for Use: | The Senographe Pristina system is intended to be used in the same clinical applications as traditional mammographic film/screen systems. It generates digital mammographic images which can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. |
| Device Comparison | The difference between Senographe Pristina (K162268) and Senographe Pristina with Patient-assisted compression (Self-Compression) is:<br>- the addition of a wireless remote control to adjust compression during breast positioning,<br>- the installation of a paired wireless receiver on Senographe Pristina to receive and relay the patient-assisted compression commands to the FFDM unit,<br>Senographe Pristina includes two wired compression footswitches. |
| Performance Testing | The patient-assisted compression option was designed and tested in accordance with GEHC Design Controls Procedures. Verification and validation testing was performed and passed for this modification.<br>A clinical evaluation was conducted on 30 patients undergoing standard FFDM views (CC and MLO). Image quality was assessed by MQSA qualified radiologists using the criteria set in the Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Full Field Digital Mammography System. Compared to images where compression was applied solely by the Technologist, patient-assisted compression produced images of similar quality. |
| Substantial Equivalence Determination | Senographe Pristina indications for use remain unchanged. New technological characteristics include a new wireless interface. Performance testing and clinical evaluation demonstrate that Senographe Pristina with patient-assisted compression (Self-Compression) is substantially equivalent to its predicate device. |
