No
The description focuses on standard imaging techniques (stereotactic and tomosynthesis) and physician selection of image slices for localization, with no mention of AI/ML for image analysis, lesion detection, or guidance.
No.
The device is used for localizing lesions for biopsy and guiding interventional procedures, which are diagnostic and interventional tools, not therapeutic treatments.
Yes
The device localizes lesions determined to be suspicious through prior mammographic examination and provides guidance for interventional procedures such as biopsy. While it doesn't make the diagnosis itself, it aids in performing procedures that confirm or rule out a diagnosis (biopsy) and localizes lesions which are already "suspicious."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "mammographic x-ray system" and a "Prone Biopsy Table," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Affirm Prone Biopsy System is an imaging and guidance system. It uses x-ray mammography to visualize lesions within the breast and then provides guidance for interventional procedures like biopsy or localization. It does not perform tests on biological samples in vitro.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for "accurately localizing lesions in the breast... and then providing guidance for interventional purposes." This is a procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
The device is a medical imaging and interventional guidance system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Affirm Prone Biopsy System combines the function of a standard x-ray mammography unit with that of a lesion localization system to produce a device that has specific application in first accurately localizing lesions in the breast in two and/or three dimensions, and then providing guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices) for lesions determined to be suspicious through prior mammographic examination.

Device Description
The Affirm Prone Biopsy Table is a mammographic x-ray system intended for lesion location while the patient is in the prone position. The subject device will be capable of both 2D and 3D imaging methods to calculate the target location. The system localizes suspicious lesions, as determined through prior mammographic examinations, using either stereotactic or tomosynthesis techniques. The system then affords a physician the capacity of performing vacuum assisted or needle core biopsy, or wire localization of the lesion.
Localization can be accomplished either via conventional 2D stereotactic imaging, or by use of a 3D data set. With the 3D data set, the image plane or "slice" most fully containing the suspected lesion is chosen by the physician from the data set to compute the lesion depth within the breast.
Safety features include:
- Automatic Detection of mounting, latching and connection of biopsy ● guidance module.
- C-arm motion is disabled if biopsy module is not locked in place
- Automatic compression release is disabled when biopsy guidance ● module is installed
- Motorized movement of biopsy device only occurs under user control
- . Audible alert if biopsy motion could result in mechanical interference.

Dear Ms. Fairfield:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
