positioning smaller breasts, and system adjustments to support patient positioning during standard mammography examinations.

SenoBright HD (Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography – CESM)

SenoBright HD is the CESM configuration of the Senographe Pristina platform. CESM acquires paired low-energy (LE) and high-energy (HE) images following intravenous administration of an iodinated contrast agent. From these acquisitions, the system generates recombined iodine-specific images to assist in the assessment of suspicious lesions.

Pristina Serena (Stereotactic Biopsy – 2D)

Pristina Serena is a stereotactic biopsy accessory used with the Senographe Pristina imaging platform. The Biopsy Positioner mounts onto the system in place of the Bucky and supports vertical and horizontal biopsy approaches. It includes a needle holder compatible with various needle guides, enabling precise lesion targeting based on 2D angled mammographic views.

Pristina Serena Bright (CESM Guided Biopsy)

Pristina Serena Bright is a CESM guided biopsy option used with Pristina Serena. It acquires paired low-energy and high energy images to produce both conventional mammographic images and iodine specific images to guide biopsy for contrast enhancing lesions.

Scope of this 510(k)

The currently cleared post-processing algorithm, eContrast, converts DICOM "for processing" images into DICOM "for presentation" images by optimizing local contrast, reducing global dynamic range, and improving the visualization of structures within the breast.

This 510(k) introduces MV processing, an updated image post-processing algorithm. MV processing maintains the same fundamental image-processing workflow and principles as eContrast and provides refinements intended to improve consistency of image appearance across patients. MV offers seven selectable image-processing settings (MV1 through MV5, MVImplant, and MVS).

MV processing applies only to 2D images of Senographe Pristina, 2D images of Pristina Serena, low-energy images of SenoBright HD and low-energy images of Pristina Serena Bright.

Cumulative Changes

This 510(k) also consolidates cumulative modifications implemented since clearance of the previous configuration (K211725). These updates include workflow and usability improvements, interoperability enhancements, and minor hardware adjustments that do not change the intended use, indications for use, safety, or essential performance.

Test Summary

Senographe Pristina; SenoBright HD; Pristina Serena and Pristina Serena Bright with MV processing have successfully completed all required design control testing in accordance with GE HealthCare's quality management system. No unexpected results were observed. The design change was developed and will be manufactured under the Quality System Regulations of 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485.

The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development:

  • Risk Analysis
  • Design Reviews
  • Software Development Lifecycle
  • Safety and effectiveness testing at component level (Standard verification)
  • Safety and effectiveness testing at system level (Standard verification)
  • Additional testing to support substantial equivalence and image acceptability (Additional Performance Testing)

Standard Verification Testing

The safety and performance of Senographe Pristina with the updated image processing algorithm were demonstrated through full verification testing. Specifically, Verification testing included scoring of FFDM and 2D Biopsy images of standard mammography phantom. Results demonstrated that performance and safety requirements with MV processing are met.

Note: These tests cover SenoBright HD and Serena Bright, since the low-energy images are the same as standard 2D and 2D-biopsy images acquired with Senographe Pristina and Pristina Serena, respectively.

Additional Performance Testing

Additional performance testing was conducted in accordance with the FDA guidance "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Full Field Digital Mammography System" (November 5, 2013). Testing included bench and clinical evaluations using representative digital mammography images acquired under clinically relevant imaging conditions.

  • Phantom Testing: Two complementary phantom studies were performed to evaluate image quality performance and demonstrate substantial equivalence between MV and eContrast algorithms. Testing was performed using identical image datasets processed with both MV and the predicate eContrast algorithms, enabling direct comparative assessment. Image datasets encompassed a range of exposure levels and imaging scenarios representative of screening and diagnostic mammography.

    • Detectability Testing: A four-alternative forced-choice detection task was conducted to assess for a potential detectability performance difference between eContrast and MV algorithm. Results demonstrated comparable detectability performance between MV and eContrast processing, with overlapping performance metrics across all tested conditions, indicating no regression and equivalent detectability.

Page 10

  • ACR Digital Mammography Phantom Scoring: Images of the ACR Digital Mammography phantom were reviewed and scored following ACR Quality Control Manual criteria for fibers, specks, and masses. Results met all minimum ACR scoring requirements and demonstrated equivalence between MV and predicate eContrast processing, with observed variability primarily driven by reader and dose setting rather than processing algorithm.

  • Clinical Image Evaluation: A clinical image study was conducted using previously acquired digital mammography images to assess image acceptability for screening and diagnostic use. Images were reprocessed using MV algorithm then reviewed by two MQSA qualified radiologists independently, with adjudication by a third reader if needed. Images were assessed for positioning, exposure, compression, contrast, sharpness, noise, artifacts, and overall clinical image quality. All images processed with MV were rated as acceptable for mammographic use across all evaluated attributes and evaluated processing levels.

Overall Testing Results and Conclusions

All predefined acceptance criteria were met. Bench and clinical image evaluations demonstrated that the MV image processing algorithm provides image quality performance equivalent to the predicate eContrast processing. No degradation in image quality, safety, or effectiveness was observed.

Applicability to Devices Included in the Submission

The testing described above is applicable to Senographe Pristina, SenoBright HD, Pristina Serena, and Pristina Serena Bright. The same MV 2D image processing algorithm is implemented identically across all devices included in this submission. As a result, the testing results are representative of all devices covered by this 510(k).

Conclusion

Based on conformance to applicable standards, development under an established quality management system and design controls, and successful completion of verification, validation, bench performance testing, and clinical testing, the Senographe Pristina, SenoBright HD, Pristina Serena, and Pristina Serena Bright incorporating the MV processing are considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device with eContrast.

The devices remain as safe and effective for their intended use as the predicate device.
