No
The device description focuses solely on the physical construction and mechanical function of a breast compression paddle. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No
Explanation: This device is used for positioning the breast during mammographic imaging to provide a clearer film, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.
No
The device is a breast compression paddle used during mammographic imaging to position and compress the breast. Its purpose is to facilitate the acquisition of clear images for screening mammography, not to diagnose a condition itself.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical breast compression paddle made of a biocompatible material with a specific two-section construction for breast compression during mammography. This is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a breast compression paddle used in mammographic imaging. Its purpose is to physically compress the breast during an X-ray procedure.
- No Specimen Analysis: The device does not interact with or analyze any biological specimens from the patient. It is a physical accessory used during an imaging procedure.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Advantage paddle is a medical device used in imaging, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The Advantage paddle is a breast compression paddle comprising of a rectangular tray-like structure of an FDA approved biocompatible material (Eastman Kodak PETG Copolyester #6763). The paddle has a flat section and a tilted section made possible by two-section construction. The first section of the paddle is foamed rigidly and is positioned near the patient's chest and extends about one inch away from the chest. In operation, this provides a vertically oriented force to the breast that tends to keep the breast tissue from being forced into the chest wall and provides a clearer film of the breast tissue adjacent the chest. The second section is formed and structured to flex for the purpose of tilting the paddle downward to compress the nipple end of the breast in a steady position as the X-ray is taken. The "Advantage" paddle is meant for use with an 18 x 24cm bucky. That is a standard size used in the industry.
