Intended Use

The 1-650 Mammography System is intended to produce radiographic images of the breast. Its specific intended use is for screening and diagnostic mammography. Screening mammography involves the production of images for initial examination for breast cancer diagnosis. Diagnostic mammography includes the production of magnified images for more thorough examination of areas of the breast determined suspicious through screening mammography, special views, spot compression views, and the production of images used by a physician in preparation for biopsy.

Device Description

The Lorad I-650 mammography system is based on Lorad's currently marketed D-550 (K934870) and Elite (K973631) Dedicated Mammographic Systems. The mechanical packaging is similar to the D-550, while the electronics are similar to the Elite. The Lorad I-650 is a standalone mammography device, mounted on a base to be permanently mounted in position. The unit is AC powered, and must be connected to a 220 VAC/50-60 Hertz (nominal) line to operate. The standalone unit has two major assemblies: The C-arm and the Gantry. The C-arm, which contains the x-ray tube, an image receptor support, compression device, a beam limiting device, switches that actuate the C-arm functions, and sensors for detecting installed accessories and making radiation measurements, is attached to the front (patient side) of the Gantry. The C-arm frame is constructed of two vertical steel rails, which are precision machined to accept the components which it supports. Molded plastic covers enclose the x-ray tube, which is purchased from OEM manufacturers, and the beam limiting device, while aluminum covers enclose the sides, back, top and bottom of the C-arm framework. The C-arm is attached by a locking pivot mechanism to the Gantry. The pivot allows the C-arm to be manually rotated about its axis. The pivot mechanism is attached to the Gantry via a vertically moving carriage. This carriage is capable of movement in the vertical direction, driven by an AC motor and a drive screw mounted to the base of the Gantry. The pivoting action of the C-arm is locked by an electromagnetic brake attached to the vertical carriage, which, in its unactuated condition, prevents rotation. The brake must be electrically actuated to release the C-arm for movement. The Gantry is constructed of a welded steel frame, to which the electrical assemblies and components of the unit are mounted. The operator control is mounted on the side panel of the Gantry, or may be mounted remotely. The input power and input circuit breaker are located on the lower rear panel of the Gantry.

Study Details (as related to the provided document)

This document describes a medical device submission (510(k)) for a mammography system. It focuses on the technical specifications and non-clinical performance validation of the X-ray machine itself, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, many of the requested points for AI studies are not applicable.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):

    • Focal Spot Measurement: Not specified in terms of "sample size" of X-ray images, but tests were done at 3 kV settings (25, 28, 30 kV). Data provenance is "bench tests" performed by the manufacturer (Lorad Division of Trex Medical Corporation, Danbury, Connecticut).
    • System Resolution: Not specified in terms of "sample size," but tests were done at 3 kV settings (25, 28, 30 kV) for both focal spots. Data provenance is "bench tests."
    • Object Phantom Tests: Two phantom films were generated. This refers to the number of physical phantom images evaluated. Data provenance is "bench tests."
    • AEC Tracking: Exposures were obtained using breast tissue equivalent materials ranging from 2 cm to 8 cm thickness across various kV settings (e.g., 25-30kV). No specific "sample size" of exposures is given for each condition, but the results table lists 6 conditions for Mo/Mo large focal spot, 3 for Rh large focal spot, and 6 for Mo small focal spot, with multiple thicknesses evaluated for each. Data provenance is "bench tests."
    • Stereotactic Localization: One simulated lesion was targeted and localized. Data provenance is "bench tests."
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):

    • Object Phantom Tests: "three readers" were used to score each of the two phantom films. Their qualifications are not specified beyond being "readers."
    • For other tests (Focal Spot, System Resolution, AEC Tracking, Stereotactic Localization), the "ground truth" was derived from physical measurements against known standards or specifications, not human expert interpretation of images.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Object Phantom Tests: The results were "averaged" from the three readers. No formal adjudication (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) is described.
    • Not applicable to other tests as ground truth was not based on human consensus.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. This document pertains to the primary performance of a mammography X-ray system itself, not an AI or CAD system used to assist human readers. Therefore, no MRMC study or effect size related to AI assistance is present.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No. This document is about a hardware medical device (mammography machine), not an AI algorithm. Its performance is evaluated inherently in a "standalone" fashion as a machine, through physical measurements and phantom imaging tests. The "algorithm" here would refer to the machine's internal controls (like AEC), which were tested for their inherent accuracy and reproducibility.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):

    • Physical Measurements against Standards/Specifications:
      • Focal Spot Size: Measured physically against NEMA method criteria.
      • System Resolution: Measured from images of line pair bar patterns against MQSA minimums.
      • Object Phantom Tests: Scored visually by readers against ACR/MQSA minimums (e.g., number of discernible fibers, specks, masses). The "ground truth" is the objective presence of these elements in the phantom.
      • AEC Tracking: Measured optical density (OD) consistency against MQSA optical density variation limits using breast tissue equivalent materials.
      • Stereotactic Localization: Comparison of localized coordinates to a known, pre-set 3D position.
    • Referenced Regulatory Standards: Many "acceptance criteria" are derived directly from regulatory bodies like MQSA, ACR, NEMA, IEC, and 21 CFR.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This document describes a physical mammography system, not an AI model. There is no concept of a "training set" in this context. The device's internal parameters and controls (e.g., AEC calibration) are set during manufacturing and validated through the non-clinical tests described.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable. As there is no AI training set, this question does not apply.

7.3 Device Description

7.3.1 Intended Use

The Lorad I-650 Mammography System is intended to produce radiographic images of the breast. Its specific intended use is screening and diagnostic mammography. Screening mammography involves the production of images for initial examination for breast cancer diagnosis. Diagnostic mammography includes the production of magnified images for more thorough examination of areas of the breast determined suspicious through screening mammography, special views, spot compression views, and the production of images used by a physician in preparation for biopsy.

7.3.2 Design

The Lorad I-650 mammography system is based on Lorad's currently marketed D-550 (K934870) and Elite (K973631) Dedicated Mammographic Systems. The mechanical packaging is similar to the D-550, while the electronics are similar to the Elite. The changes made to the Elite to create the 1-650 are summarized in the table below.

7.3.3 Construction

The Lorad I-650 is a standalone mammography device, mounted on a base to be permanently mounted in position. The unit is AC powered, and must be connected to a 220 VAC/50-60 Hertz (nominal) line to operate.

The standalone unit has two major assemblies: The C-arm and the Gantry. An I-650 configuration tree, identifying the major components and subassemblies that comprise the I-650, is provided in Attachment B. The C-arm, which contains the x-ray tube, an image receptor support, compression device, a beam limiting device, switches that actuate the C-arm functions, and sensors for detecting installed accessories and making radiation measurements, is attached to the front (patient side) of the Gantry. The C-arm frame is constructed of two vertical steel rails, which are precision machined to accept the components which it supports. Molded plastic covers enclose the x-ray tube, which is purchased from OEM manufacturers, and the beam limiting device, while aluminum covers enclose the sides, back, top and bottom of the C-arm framework.

The C-arm is attached by a locking pivot mechanism to the Gantry. The pivot allows the C-arm to be manually rotated about its axis. The pivot mechanism is attached to the Gantry via a vertically moving carriage. This carriage is capable of movement in the vertical direction, driven by an AC motor and a drive screw mounted to the base of the Gantry. The pivoting action of the C-arm is locked by an electromagnetic brake attached to the vertical carriage, which, in its unactuated condition, prevents rotation. The brake must be electrically actuated to release the C-arm for movement. The Gantry is constructed of a welded steel frame, to which the electrical assemblies and components of the unit are mounted. The operator control is mounted on the side panel of the Gantry, or

{2}------------------------------------------------

may be mounted remotely. The input power and input circuit breaker are located on the lower rear panel of the Gantry.

7.3.4 Compatible Equipment

The I-650 is equipped with accessories necessary in the performance of mammography. Bucky accessories, are provided to reduce the effects of scattered radiation on the image. Compression paddles to accommodate different sized Buckies and different mammographic applications are supplied. Thev are interchangeable by the operator. A magnification table is provided, which provides a means to obtain geometrically enlarged views of suspicious areas of the breast. Footswitches are provided that operate (1) the C-arm vertical position function, to place the breast platform appropriately to the patient's height, and (2) the compression function, allowing the operator to use both hands to position the patient while applying and releasing breast compression.

The 1-650 is capable of use with Lorad's StereoLoc II Breast Biopsy system which was separately cleared by FDA (K952210). Use of the 1-650 with the StereoLoc II does not alter the operation of the 1-650. The 1-650 will be configured for application in a mobile van.

7.3.5.17 Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)

AEC Detector:

The active sensing area will be 3 square centimeters, derived from three 1 cm square sensors.

{12}------------------------------------------------

AEC Detector Positioning:

The detector will be able to be positioned in 7 locations, centered laterally in the image receptor support device. Position #1 will be located 1 cm from the chest wall, with detected positions at 3, 5, and 7 in 3.4 cm. increments from position #1.

The AEC position indicators will be 7 LEDs which indicate the detented positions. The position indicators will be located on the upper compression device cover.

AEC kV and Thickness Tracking:

The AEC system shall have compensation for kV between 22 kV and 35 kV, as well as compensation for breast thickness tracking including different breast compositions. Tracking will include film reciprocity failure compensation. The optical density shall be within 0.15 O.D. from the mean Optical Density value at any point within the clinically defined range of kVs for breast thicknesses between 2 cm and 6 cm of breast tissue equivalent material. (MSQA/2002)

Reproducibility:

See section 7.3.5.15.

Exposure Termination:

The system shall determine if the exposure will reach "Back-up Time" and if so, will terminate the x-ray exposure within one of the following limits.

  • A. 50 milliseconds
  • B. 4 mAs
  • C. with an entrance exposure to the ACR Accreditation Phantom of less than 50 mR.

Indication will be made to the operator, and a manual reset will be required to continue the exam.

Density Range:

There will be 11 density adjustment steps between -5 and +5 with a difference of approximately 10% in mAs from adjacent steps.

{13}------------------------------------------------

Post-mAs Display:

There will be a display of the post-exposure mAs. The accuracy of the mAs displayed will be within 5% of the actual mAs. The display will hold until the initiation of the next exposure.

Modes of Operation:

  • A. Manual: In this mode, the kV and mAs are both selectable.
  • B. Auto-Time: In this mode, the kV is the only factor selectable. The exposure is then terminated at a mAs value as determined by the AEC system microprocessor to vield an optical density to which the unit has been calibrated. A post-mAs readout indicates the mAs value at the end of the exposure and remains displayed until the initiation of the next exposure. This mode is valid for use with either the molybdenum or rhodium filter selected. The exposure may be modified up to ±50% of calculated mAs by incrementing the DENSITY function. If determination is made that the exposure will exceed the Backup Time, the exposure will be terminated in less than one of following limits: (a) 50 ms, (b) 4 mAs, or (c) with an entrance exposure to the ACR accreditation phantom of less than 50 mR, and indicate the termination to the operator.
  • C. Auto-kV: When this mode and the Moly filter are selected, the kV. If the Rhodium filter is selected, the kV will be limited to 28-32 kV. The kV will default to 28 kV and the mA will be set to 70 mA. Normally there is no requirement to make any selection of technique in this mode. Upon exposure initiation, the AEC signal is sampled and the kV is incremented upward to a maximum of 28 kV if the Moly filter is selected, or 32 kV if the Rhodium filter is selected, to provide an exposure within the user selected window of approximately 80 mAs. 120 mAs. or 160 mAs. as selected by the user. After the kV is incremented (approximately 50 msec into the exposure) the Auto-Time function completes the exposure. The post-kV and post-mAs are then displayed.

7.4.3 Object Phantom Tests

Tests were performed using a standard ACR Map Phantom (RMI-156 or Nuclear Assoc. #18-220)

The phantom was imaged following normal clinical procedures to yield a film with an average optical density of 1.5. To provide a true indication of imaging performance, the mean glandular dose for the phantom images was evaluated. to ensure that the imaging performance was obtained at an absorbed dose level within the range acceptable for mammography.

The phantom images were scored according to standard ACR procedure, using three readers for each of two phantom films readers. The results are averaged summarized below.

7.4.5 Stereotactic evaluation

To evaluate the 1-650 in terms of performing as a host mammography unit for an add-on stereotactic localization device, a prototype 1-650 was fitted with a Lorad StereoLoc II device. The tests results supported compatibility with stereotactic procedures suing the StereoLoc II device with the film based Digitizer System.

7.4.5.1 Needle Positioning and Targeting Test

In this test, the positioning controls of the StereoLoc II device are calibrated and used to position a simulated lesion 1mm in diameter to a known 3-dimensional position (X=10mm, Y= 20mm and Z=30mm). Stereotactic images are then obtained and the simulated lesion is localized using the StereoLoc II system controls. The localized X, Y and Z values are compared to the originally set X, Y and Z positions as an evaluation of accuracy of localization. This test confirms that the system is capable of providing accurate readings with the geometry of the 1-650 host mammography unit.
