No.
The device is indicated for imaging and diagnosis of the breast, not for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The 'Device Description' explicitly states, "Soft Vue is an automated tomographic B-mode diagnostic ultrasound system".
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a transducer, table/housing, water control system, computer control system, power system, data acquisition system, barcode reader, touchscreen console, and display monitor.
Based on the provided information, the SoftVue™ 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.
- SoftVue's Function: SoftVue is an ultrasound imaging system that uses sound waves to create images of the breast. It is a non-invasive imaging technique performed directly on the patient's body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "imaging of a patient's breast." This is an in-vivo (within the living body) procedure, not an in-vitro (in glass/outside the body) test.
Therefore, SoftVue falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
SoftVue™ is indicated for use as a B-mode ultrasonic imaging of a patient's breast when used with as automatic scanning curvilinear array transducer. The device is not intended to be used as a replacement for screening manmography.

Device Description
Soft Vue is an automated tomographic B-mode diagnostic ultrasound system to be used as an adjunct to mammography for imaging a patient's breast. SoftVue is comprised of the following subsystems: the Transducer. Table/Housing. Water Control System, Computer Control System, Image Reconstruction System, Power System, and the Data Acquisition System.
SoftVue has a built-in curvilinear transducer that is used to acquire ultrasound images. I mages are acquired from a patient lying prone on the table with their breast submerged in an imaging chamber filled with warm (body temperature) water. The breast is positioned in the center of the transducer. A camera, located at the bottom of the imaging chamber provides a live video feed to the system operator to aid in positioning the patient's breast. Once the scan is initiated. the transducer collects data that are processed to produce a series of ultrasound image slices that can be stacked to vield a volumetric ultrasound image of the breast,
The Water Control System is used to de-gas and warm the water that is used as the image acquisition medium. The Computer Control System controls all of the functionality of the other subsystems. The reconstruction engine processes the image data acquired by the transducer ring into B-mode ultrasound images.
The system includes a barcode reader, touchscreen console (user interface), and display monitor. The touchscreen console and monitor allow the clinical user to perform an imaging procedure on a patient. Patient information is entered into the system using either the touchscreen console or the barcode reader. Device errors and warnings are displayed on the console and/or display.
Soft Vue outputs the image Storage Medium that allows the images to be stored until they are reviewed on a workstation or transferred via DICOM to a PACS environment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The function and performance of SoftVue™ will be evaluated through non-clinical design verification and validation testing. Testing includes system performance and simulated use tests. The results of the evaluation tests will demonstrate that SoftVue™ successfully meets the requirements of its intended use.
Delphinus Medical Technologies conducted performance evaluations to verify that Soft Vue 's subsystems successfully meet predetermined specifications and product performance requirements. Results of the testing performed demonstrate that SoftVue's subsystems meet the system and performance requirements necessary for its intended use. A brief list of some of the testing performed is included below.
- Acoustic output testing Meets the Global Maximum Output
- Sub-system Verification Testing - All requirements were met.
System Verification and Validation Testing will be performed using an anthropomorphic phantom breast designed for measuring resolution and contrast. The breast phantom was seeded with 18 inclusions located in specific locations within the phantom.
