No
The device is a physical, disposable cover for a mammography plate designed for patient comfort. The description focuses on material properties, adhesion, and lack of interference with image quality or dose. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would involve AI/ML.
No.
The device's intended use is to provide comfort to the patient by reducing the cold sensation from the bucky during mammography, not to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose is to provide patient comfort during mammography by reducing cold sensation, and it is explicitly designed not to interfere with image quality. It does not provide any diagnostic information or enable diagnosis.
No
The device is a physical, single-use disposable cover made of fabric with adhesive backing. It is a hardware component used during mammography.
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 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 Comfort Cover's intended use and description clearly state its purpose is to improve patient comfort during mammography by providing a barrier between the patient's breast and the cold image receptor plate. It does not analyze any biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device is a physical cover placed on equipment. It does not interact with or analyze any bodily fluids or tissues.
- Focus on Comfort and Image Quality: The performance studies and description focus on the device's ability to provide comfort, maintain image quality, and ensure radiological safety, not on analyzing biological markers for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the Comfort Cover falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Comfort Cover is a single-use disposable cover placed between the patient's breast and the image receptor plate during mammography. The purpose of this product is to allow the patient to feel more comfortable and less cold during the mammographic examination without interfering with image quality. Comfort Cover will allow for artifact-free images in both Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), patient radiation dose is equivalent to that when using no Comfort Cover and the Image quality is equivalent to images exposed without Comfort Cover.
Comfort Cover is designed to fit small and large image receptor plates of all leading mammographic equipments. The product is constructed of a fabric material with a purple printed design and has adhesive backing with a paper liner. Both the material and adhesive backing of the product do not affect imaging.
The product is directly applied wrinkle free to the image receptor plate of the mammographic machine by the adhesive backing exposed by peeling off the liner. After the patient's mammogram, the product is peeled off the image receptor plate and disposed. As the product removes cleanly without leaving behind any residue, the image receptor plate does not need to be cleaned between Comfort Covers nor between patients.

8) CONCLUSIONS
The subject device Comfort Cover and the predicate device Bella have the same technological characteristics and intended use.
Both devices have similar design of having rectangular shape with adhesive backing which allows easy application and removal from the image receptor plate and with floral graphics printed on the top of the sheet using FDA approved ink. Both devices are presented as single use, non-sterile and non-compressible.
Both devices remove the cold from the image receptor plate of the mammographic equipment and provide comfort during routine mammographic examinations without affecting image quality. Both devices do not negatively affect patient positioning.
Minor difference in the Comfort Cover material as compared to the predicate device. Bella does not affect safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled as shown by safety and efficacy studies. Therefore, Precision Dynamics Corporation believes that Comfort Cover is substantially equivalent to the existing legally marketed predicate device, Bella.
