Intended Use
The Infrared Sciences BreastScan IR™ System is intended for viewing and recording heat patterns generated by the human body in the hospital, acute care settings, outpatient surgery, healthcare practitioner facilities or in an environment where patient care is provided by qualified healthcare personnel. The patient populations include adult. The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion or reperfusion of tissue or organs. This device is intended for use by qualified healthcare personnel trained in its use.
Device Description
The BreastScan IR ™ System is a new, non-invasive procedure offered to women, of any age, to determine current breast health by measuring various temperature parameters in the breast. Designed exclusively by Infrared Sciences Corp., BreastScan IR ™ System has demonstrated its effectiveness as an adjunctive tool for the doctor to use along with mammography, ultrasound, or clinical examination. The entire procedure takes approximately 10 minutes with the results immediately available, to assist in the doctor's determination of breast health. The results are analyzed by proprietary algorithms and then presented in a non-subjective report. The procedure does not involve any compression of the breast, or touching of the breast in any way. The patient simply sits in a chair, facing an infrared camera for a few minutes. Components of the system include: Infrared System Device Color Inkjet Printer TVNCR Medical Cart BreastScan IR Server Air Cooling Device Patient Chair

No
The description mentions "proprietary algorithms" for analysis, but there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms. The lack of information on training and test sets further suggests the absence of ML.

No
The device is described as an "adjunctive diagnostic screening" tool, meaning it assists in the detection of breast cancer and other conditions by viewing and recording heat patterns. It does not treat or cure any condition, which is the primary function of a therapeutic device.

Yes

The device description explicitly states, "The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion or reperfusion of tissue or organs." This indicates its use in aiding diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components as part of the system, including an "Infrared System Device," "Color Inkjet Printer," "TVNCR," "Medical Cart," "Air Cooling Device," and "Patient Chair." This indicates it is a system with both hardware and software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Infrared Sciences BreastScan IR™ System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The BreastScan IR™ System measures heat patterns generated by the human body using an external infrared camera. It does not involve the analysis of blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample.
  • The device description clearly outlines a non-invasive procedure. The patient sits in a chair, and the camera measures infrared emissions from the breast. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological material.

Therefore, the BreastScan IR™ System falls under the category of a medical device that interacts with the body externally to gather information, rather than an IVD which analyzes samples taken from the body.
