Intended Use
Planmed Nuance Excel is a FFDM (Full Field Digital Mammography) X-ray unit, which is intended to be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer in the same clinical applications as traditional film/screen mammography X-ray units. The system generates digital mammograms which enable to detect breast cancer at an early stage. The use of Planmed FFDM X-ray unit is allowed only under supervision of a health care professional.
Device Description
The Planmed Nuance Excel is a Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system for generating mammographic images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Planmed Nuance utilizes an amorphous selenium based digital image receptor to capture digital images. The receptor directly converts the incoming X-ray photons to digital image data. The workflow with Planmed Nuance Excel is controlled from the acquisition workstation and Planmed Nuance Manager 3 image acquisition and communications software. The patient information is entered manually or received from the hospital, radiology, or mammography information systems (HIS, RIS, or MIS, respectively), as a format of modality work list. Subsequently, the images are acquired, processed, and displayed for preview. After initial evaluation by the user, the images are either printed or transferred for soft-copy review.

No
The document describes a standard digital mammography system and its workflow, focusing on image acquisition, processing, and display. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies like deep learning or neural networks. The description of image processing is generic and does not imply AI/ML.

No.
The device is used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer by generating digital mammograms, not for treating any condition.

Yes

This device is specifically intended for "screening and diagnosis of breast cancer," and its output (digital mammograms) is used to "detect breast cancer."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system" and utilizes a "digital image receptor," indicating it is a hardware device that generates images, not solely software. While it includes software for workflow control and image processing, it is not a software-only medical device.

No, this device 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device function: The Planmed Nuance Excel is an X-ray imaging system. It uses X-rays to create images of the breast for the purpose of detecting breast cancer. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "screening and diagnosis of breast cancer" using "digital mammograms." This is an imaging modality, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Planmed Nuance Excel is a medical imaging device, not an IVD.
