The Xpress BCD is a reusable device indicated for use with stereotactic biopsy platforms to apply temporary focal mechanical compression to a stereotactic breast biopsy site to achieve hemostasis. Rx Only. Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The XPress BCD device is an accessory used in conjunction stereotactic breast biopsy devices. The XPress BCD is comprised of Delrin® DuPont (acetal homopolymer resin, Delrin 150NC010), or similar material. There are three (3) independent XPress BCD device configurations that are provided as a set: configuration 1 (large flat), configuration 2 (modified pyramidal), and configuration 3 (modified spherical). These different configurations are used based on the biopsy site being treated. The Xpress design includes a mechanical slot for attaching to compression paddles of mammographic x-ray systems. The XPress BCD is used in conjunction with the XPress BCD Cover (K863853; classification JAA; manufactured by Preferred Medical Products, Ducktown, TN). It is used to enclose the XPress BCD for use as intended. The XPress BCD Cover, is a sterile, single-use covering. The XPress BCD Cover is a 4 X 5 inches covering of a 0.002 mm thick polyethylene blend material, and its closure system is a round or oblong synthetic rubber band made of a polyisoprene polymer, measuring 2 X 1/8 X 1/16 inches. The XPress BCD Cover is packaged with the XPress BCD or may be purchased separately.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document describes a clinical study to evaluate the performance of the XPress BCD Breast Compression Device for achieving hemostasis after stereotactic-guided breast biopsy. The primary clinical performance measure/adverse effect was hematoma formation, defined as a new three-dimensional mass (> 0.52 cm³) detected on standard post-biopsy full-field mammography.
The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria with specific numerical thresholds for hematoma formation rate. However, the study results are presented, demonstrating the device's performance in this aspect.
Table of Acceptance Criteria (Implied) and Reported Device Performance:
| Performance Measure (Implied Acceptance Criterion) | Reported Device Performance (XPress BCD) |
|---|---|
| Rate of Immediate Post-Compression Hematoma | 7.5% (9/120 biopsies) by primary investigators |
| Rate of Delayed Hematoma (up to one week) | 3.3% (4/120 biopsies) |
| Rate of Fat Necrosis | 0% (0/65 evaluable sites at one year post-biopsy) |
| Rate of Hematoma (Independent Reviewer A) | 5.8% (7/120 biopsies) |
| Rate of Hematoma (Independent Reviewer B) | 7.5% (9/120 biopsies) |
| Rate of Fat Necrosis (Independent Reviewers) | 0% (0/65 evaluable sites) |
Note: The document focuses on demonstrating that the device is "as safe and effective as the predicate device" through a clinical study, rather than specific acceptance thresholds.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The study included 120 biopsies performed on 118 female subjects.
- Data Provenance: The study was a "prospective historical control single arm clinical study (NCT02327598)" conducted at "one investigational site". The country of origin is not explicitly stated, but the FDA submission suggests it is likely the USA. The study design is prospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Number of Experts: The study involved primary investigators and two "independent mammographers" for review.
- Five investigators and six assistants participated in the study for immediate post-compression hematoma detection.
- Two independent mammographers reviewed the imaging for hematoma and fat necrosis.
- Qualifications of Experts: The qualifications of the "primary investigators" are not specified beyond their role in the study. The "independent mammographers" are referred to as such, suggesting they are qualified radiologists specializing in mammography, but their specific years of experience or board certifications are not provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- The document implies that immediate post-compression hematoma detection was performed by primary investigators.
- For delayed hematomas and fat necrosis, the "primary study" and "independent mammographers" assessed the mammographic evidence.
- There is no explicit mention of an adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) if there were disagreements between the independent mammographers or between the primary study findings and the independent reviewers. Both reviewers' findings for hematoma and fat necrosis are reported separately, suggesting independent assessments without a formal reconciliation process mentioned.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly stated or described. The study was a "single arm clinical study" focusing on the XPress BCD device's performance after biopsy. There is no comparison of human readers with vs. without AI assistance. The study evaluates a physical device, not an AI algorithm.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable. The XPress BCD is a physical breast compression device, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, no standalone algorithm performance study would be conducted.
7. The type of ground truth used
The ground truth for hematoma formation was based on:
- Clinical observation: Primary investigators detected immediate post-compression hematoma.
- Imaging review: Mammograms were used to detect hematomas and fat necrosis, reviewed by primary study staff and two independent mammographers.
- Patient follow-up/outcomes data: Phone contact after 24 hours and 7 days, and clinical/ultrasound evaluation for returning patients, were part of the follow-up for adverse events. Hematoma was defined as a "new three dimensional mass (> 0.52 cm') detected on standard post-biopsy full-field mammography." This suggests an imaging-based "ground truth" for the primary outcome.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. The XPress BCD is a physical device, not a machine learning algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of AI.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
This question is not applicable as there is no training set for a physical device.

The XPress BCD device, without protective covering, must be cleaned, disinfected, and inspected prior to use on a patient, including between biopsies on the same patient, using an EPA-registered disinfectant that achieves intermediate level of disinfection with a tuberculocidal claim.
9.0 CLINICAL TESTING
A prospective historical control single arm clinical study (NCT02327598) was conducted at one investigational site to evaluate the performance of the XPress BCD breast compression device to obtain hemostasis after stereotactic-guided breast biopsy following 120 biopsies in 118 female subjects with mammographic findings that warranted stereotactic biopsy. Five investigators and six assistants participated in this study; the 118 enrolled and treated subjects met the following inclusion criteria:
- Adult women: eighteen years of age and older. ●
- . Sites of calcification (size not restricted) and/or breast lesions (masses) ≤ 1.5 cm in diameter deemed suspicious by radiologist/ breast surgeon.
- Provided written informed consent.
None of the 118 enrolled and treated subjects met the study's criteria for exclusion:
- Pregnancy.
- Lactation.
- Cognitive impairment.
- . On active blood thinners including, but not limited to, warfarin, clopidogrel and heparin. Low dose aspirin or non-steroidal medication are not subject to this requirement.
- A known bleeding disorder or uncorrected coagulopathy with a platelet count of ≤ . 80,000 and/or an international normalized ratio of ≥ 1.5.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- Note : Coagulation parameters were not routinely performed unless suspicion of . coagulopathy including known deficiencies such as Factor VIII and XI, Diffuse Intravascular Coagulation, Uremia, Liver Failure, Myeloproliferative Disorder, Alpha 2 Antiplasmin deficiency, Monoclonal Gammopathy, and Lupus Anticoagulant).
Follow-up after discharge included phone contact after 24 hours and 7 days. Patients were asked to return if they developed significant bruising greater than 3 cm in diameter, a new lump at the biopsy site, increasing pain, or signs of infection including redness, increased warmth, or increased temperature. Returning patients out to one week were evaluated clinically as well as with ultrasound of the biopsy site.
Additionally, all 65 of the 120 original biopsy sites deemed evaluable for evidence of fat necrosis were reviewed at one year. Evaluable sites required the absence of interval surgical biopsy/lumpectomy and mammograms available for review at one year following biopsy and mechanical compression.
The primary clinical performance measure / adverse effect were hematoma formation. Hematoma was defined as a new three dimensional mass (> 0.52 cm') detected on standard post-biopsy full- field mammography. Incidence and size of delayed hematomas were also noted. Unanticipated adverse events were defined as any serious adverse effect on health, safety, or any life-threatening problem or death caused by or associated with the device. No unanticipated adverse events were noted during the course of the study and follow-up evaluation.
Table 9-1 summarizes demographics and performance measures for 120 biopsy procedures performed on 118 enrolled and treated clinical study patients. Immediate post-compression hematoma was detected by primary investigators in 9/120 biopsies (7.5%). Additional delayed hematomas detected out to one week after biopsy were found following 4/120 (3.2%) of the biopsies. No mammographic evidence of fat necrosis was noted at one-year post-biopsy in a subgroup of 65 subjects who had not been subject to open biopsy or lumpectomy and were evaluated with mammography at one year post-biopsy. All biopsy sites meeting the criteria for evaluation were assessed for mammographic for evidence of fat necrosis by both the primary study and independent mammographers.

Note: Staff evaluation compared their impressions on the use of mechanical compression on workflow relative to the use of standard manual compression using a 10 point scale (-5 extreme degradation to +5 extreme enhancement of workflow). The effect on workflow closely mirrored staff estimates of net time saved or lost (in minutes) relative to standard manual compression (assuming that they would have been responsible for performing manual breast compression).
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE FEATURES 10.0
During breast biopsy procedures, the XPress BCD is used to apply direct mechanical compression to the biopsy site, as a replacement for standard manual compression. The XPress BCD is inserted into the stereo guide compression paddle, and pressure is applied mechanically by the paddle and attached XPress BCD device. Before insertion into the compression paddle, the XPress BCD is placed inside, and enclosed by, a sterile XPress BCD Cover, so that the device does not come in direct contact with the patient. Further, sterile 4 X 4 gauze pads are placed between the covered XPress BCD device and the patient, which is an additional barrier to direct contact with the patient.
The XPress BCD Breast Compression Device, is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed, commercially available Biopsy Digit S and Biopsy Digit SL (K113607). manufactured by Giotto USA, LLC, Wichita, KS 67226. The XPress device does not introduce any technological characteristic differences that raise questions of safety or effectiveness; to establish this, a list of comparative features and their similarities and differences is provided in the table below:

11.0 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The XPress BCD, and the claimed predicate device, the Biopsy Digit S and Biopsy Digit SL device, are accessories used during stereotactic-guided breast biopsy procedures including breast biopsies. The XPress BCD device and the predicate device have the same general intended use – they are accessories for mammographic procedures requiring stereotactic guidance including breast biopsies. The XPress device does not introduce any technological characteristic differences that raise questions of safety or effectiveness. The XPress BCD device has been demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device for intended use in a prospective, single site single arm historical control clinical study (NCT02327598). There are no additional significant questions of safety or effectiveness.
