Intended Use
My Breast Friend Breast Self-exam Pad is indicated as an aid for performing breast selfexamination.
Device Description
The My Breast Friend Breast Self-exam Pad is a thin polyurethane bladder containing a small quantity of silicone and air fluids. The very thin nature of the material allows the pad to conform to the patient's breast tissue and for the patient to observe a reduction in friction. The very thin and flexible bladder provides easy sliding between the upper and lower surfaces of the bladder and allows the patient to sense subtle tissue density variations.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical properties of the pad and its mechanism of action (friction reduction, sensing tissue variations) and does not mention any computational or data-driven components. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
This device is described as an aid for performing self-examinations and helps in sensing tissue variations, but it does not treat or alleviate any condition.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated as an "aid for performing breast self-examination" by providing reduced friction and allowing the patient to sense tissue variations. It does not independently diagnose any condition or provide a medical determination, but rather assists the user in their own self-examination.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "thin polyurethane bladder containing a small quantity of silicone and air fluids," which is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the My Breast Friend Breast Self-exam Pad is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The My Breast Friend Breast Self-exam Pad is a physical aid used externally on the breast to facilitate tactile examination. It does not analyze any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in performing a physical breast self-examination, which is a manual process, not a laboratory test.

Therefore, the device falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. March:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
