The indications for use of the product is to remove the cold from the bucky by placing this sheet between patient's breast and the image receptor plate allowing the patient to feel more comfortable and less cold without interfering with image quality.
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.
The provided document, a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Comfort Cover," describes the device, its intended use, and comparative testing against a predicate device. However, it does not contain the level of detail typically found in a clinical study report or a regulatory submission for a device involving AI or complex performance metrics. The Comfort Cover is a disposable cover for mammography plates to enhance patient comfort without affecting image quality.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not provide specific sample sizes (e.g., number of covers, images, or participants) for the test sets. It states that "a number of non-clinical performance tests" were completed.
- Biocompatibility: Testing was conducted per ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10 on the subject device.
- Mechanical Testing: Performed on "both the subject and the predicate devices."
- Radiological Studies: Phantom image testing was performed "as per MQSA regulations and with relevant International Electro technical Commission (IEC) standards (62220-1-2:2007 and 61223-3-2)." This implies the use of standardized phantoms, not patient data.
- Usability Studies: Included "radiologists, radiology technologists and patients." The number of each group is not specified.
Data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective) is not specified, but given the nature of the tests (lab-based, phantom studies, usability feedback), it is likely all internal data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not provided. For the usability studies, "radiologists" and "radiology technologists" were involved, but their number and specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience) are not detailed. For radiological studies, phantom images were used, implying objective measurements rather than expert human interpretation for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
Not applicable or not described. The tests are primarily objective measurements (e.g., passing a specific ISO standard, conforming to ASTM methods, measuring radiation dose, image quality metrics from phantom images). For usability, it simply states that user needs were fulfilled, but no adjudication method for consensus is mentioned.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No MRMC study was done, nor is this device related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Comfort Cover is a physical accessory for patient comfort during mammography.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or AI.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Biocompatibility: In-vitro and in-vivo (skin irritation/sensitization) test results against ISO standards.
- Mechanical Testing: Objective measurements (e.g., ASTM standards, in-house developed test for residue).
- Radiological Studies: Objective measurements from phantom images (e.g., presence/absence of artifacts, radiation dose measurements, image quality metrics) compared to baselines (without Comfort Cover) and regulatory/IEC standards.
- Usability Studies: User feedback (radiologists, technologists, patients) on comfort and impact on positioning.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model and does not have a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable.

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.
