No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for algorithms. The software components listed are standard for image acquisition and viewing.
No
The device is described as an "adjunctive screening device for the detection of breast cancer" and "adjunctive diagnostic screening for the detection of breast cancer and diseases." It is used for viewing and recording heat patterns, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The intended use statement explicitly states that the device is for "adjunctive diagnostic screening for the detection of breast cancer."
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components (digital infrared cameras, computer system, air conditioner, mobile cart) in addition to the software components.
Based on the provided information, the NoTouch BreastScan system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The NoTouch BreastScan system measures temperature parameters from the surface of the breast using infrared cameras. It does not analyze blood, tissue, urine, or any other biological sample taken out of the body.
- The intended use describes a non-invasive measurement. The device is used for "viewing and recording heat patterns generated by the human body." This is a direct measurement on the body, not an analysis of a sample.
Therefore, the NoTouch BreastScan system falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Telethermographic system intended for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)
Classification. Class I (general controls).(b)
Telethermographic system intended for use alone in diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses —(1)Identification. A telethermographic system for use as the sole diagnostic screening tool for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(2)

Performance Data
Testing of NoTouch BreastScan was performed as per the requirements. In all instances, the NoTouch BreastScan functioned as intended and the software and hardware performed as expected. Complete validation and verification was performed on all software and hardware subsystems.
Substantial Equivalence
The NoTouch BreastScan is as safe and effective as BreastScan IR. The NoTouch BreastScan has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the NoTouch BreastScan and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the NoTouch BreastScan is as safe and effective as BreastScan IR. Thus, the NoTouch BreastScan is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Shah:
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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
3
medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportalProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
