Intended Use

The Planmed Clarity 2D mammography unit acquires digital 2D mammographic images. The Planned Clarity 2D system is intended to be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Planmed Clarity system may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast.

Device Story

Planmed Clarity is a Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system; captures digital 2D mammographic images using an amorphous silicon-based digital image receptor. Receptor converts X-ray photons directly to digital data. Workflow managed via acquisition workstation and Planmed Clarity Manager software; patient data entered manually or via hospital/radiology information systems (HIS/RIS/MIS). Images acquired, processed, and displayed for preview; transferred for soft-copy review or printing. Used in clinical settings by radiology staff. System provides high-quality diagnostic images for breast cancer screening and workup; benefits patients through improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) compared to predicate, while maintaining radiation doses below EUREF reference levels.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical image evaluation performed by MQSA-certified radiologists using representative sample mammograms and diagnostic images. Results confirmed overall image quality was acceptable for all cases and image types, demonstrating performance comparable to the predicate device. No prospective clinical trial data provided; safety supported by bench testing, biocompatibility, and electrical/EMC testing.

PREDICATE DEVICE Planmed Nuance Excel Full Field Digital Mammography System, K111361 This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall. No reference devices were used in this submission. ### DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV. The Planmed Clarity is a Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system for generating mammographic images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Planmed Clarity utilizes an amorphous silicon based digital image receptor to capture digital images. The receptor directly converts the incoming X-ray photons to digital image data. The workflow with Planmed Clarity is controlled from the acquisition workstation and Planmed Clarity Manager image acquisition and communications software. The patient information is entered manually or received from the hospital. radiology, or mammography information systems (HIS, RIS, or MIS, respectively), as a format of modality worklist. Subsequently, the images are acquired, processed, and displayed for preview. After initial evaluation by the user, the images are either printed or transferred for soft-copy review. {4}------------------------------------------------ ### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE The Planmed Clarity 2D mammography unit acquires digital 2D mammographic images. The Planmed Clarity 2D system is intended to be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Planmed Clarity system may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast. The Indications for Use (IFU) statement are similar for both systems. IFU of the predicate system refers to film-screen mammography, a technology which has been later replaced by digital systems. This difference in wording has no effect on the indications for use. ### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE VI. PREDICATE DEVICE ## General Both devices are using the same basic operating principles and are technically very similar. The user interface has been changed to dual touch-screens. X-ray generation and control are the same. The compression unit and AEC technology are the same. The active material has been changed to amorphous silicon, but otherwise the new detector has almost identical imaging characteristics and signal processing as the predicate device. ## Integrated detector Ouality assurance with pixel defect acceptance criteria comparison is similar. Pixel matrixes are identical, pixel width 83 um vs. 85um and ADC bit depth 14 vs. 13 bit for subject vs. predicate system, respectively. X-ray unit Dimensions of the units are similar. X-rav tube Units use the same X-ray tube. X-ray generator Units use the same X-ray generator. X-ray anti-scatter grid Same grid is used on both systems. ### VII. PERFORMANCE DATA The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. ## Biocompatibility testing To evaluate biocompatibility of the Planmed Clarity full field digital mammography device, we performed safety evaluation of acute and repeat toxicity. As conclusion, none of the compounds measured in the extracts were present at levels which could adversely affect the patient. Thus, there is no risk or concern to the patient's safety from contact with the materials of construction of this mammography unit. ## Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the Planmed Clarity mammography system. The system complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-2-28, IEC 60601-2-45, ISO 10993-1 for safety, and IEC 60601-1-2 for EMC. ## Software Verification and Validation Testing Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "Moderate" level of concern. {5}------------------------------------------------ ## Physical laboratory testing The performance of the system was tested according to Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Full-Field Digital Mammography System Document issued on: March 27, 2012. Summary of physically laboratory testing results: - 1. Sensitometric response: Both detectors respond linearly to radiation exposure - Spatial resolution: The predicate system has on average 10% higher MTF at 5 lp/mm. 2. Difference is likely due to direct signal conversion of the a-Se detector. - 3. Noise analysis: The subject device is less sensitive to noise at higher frequencies. At lower doses, the difference becomes more pronounced. Also SNR and CNR are higher. - 4. Dynamic range: The subject device produces higher DQE than the predicate system - 5. Repeated exposures: Ghost tolerance was similar. - 6. Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) performance: With automatic filtration change the organ and entrance doses are below EUREF reference values. - 7. Phantom test: RMI phantom scores for all attributes are higher for the subject device. CDMAM test pass for both systems. - 8. Patient radiation dose: Both systems achieve lower patient radiation dose than the EUREF reference level. - 9. Breast compression system: Powered compression pressure test results are similar. ### Clinical image evaluation We also performed clinical image evaluation where MQSA certified experienced radiologist scored representative sample mammograms and diagnostic images. The overall image quality was acceptable for all cases and image types. #### CONCLUSIONS VIII. The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that the Planmed Clarity full field digital mammography system should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical image evaluation also shows that the device performs comparably to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
