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.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is related to a 510(k) submission for the "My Breast Friend Breast Self-exam Pad." The submission focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices rather than presenting novel performance studies and acceptance criteria as would be required for new device approvals.

Therefore, the document does not contain details about specific acceptance criteria, a study proving the device meets those criteria, or the other requested information such as sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.

Instead, the submission states:

  • Performance Standard: "No mandatory or voluntary standards are applicable."
  • Substantial Equivalence: "The My Breast Friend Self-exam Pad is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed devices, Sensor Pad (K973450) and Aware Pad (K991469)."

The FDA's letter confirms their review and determination of substantial equivalence based on the indications for use. This pathway implies that the new device's safety and effectiveness are considered equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, and thus, extensive new clinical performance data demonstrating specific acceptance criteria are not typically required in the same way as for a PMA or novel device.

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
