Intended Use
The Sentinel BreastScan II System is intended for viewing and recording heat patterns generated by the human body in the hospital, acute care settings, outpatient surgery, healthcare practitioner facilities or in an environment where patient care is provided by qualified healthcare personnel. The patient populations include adult. The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion or reperfusion of tissue or organs. This device is intended for use by qualified healthcare personnel trained in its use.
Device Description
The Sentinel BreastScan II System consists of a portable device that captures and records thermal infrared energy (heat) emitting from a person's body. There is no compression of the breast or patient contact with the device and the test emits no radiation to the patient. The device consists of a thermal camera, a metal enclosure to secure and protect components, a motor and electronics to raise and lower the tester to adjust the camera for various sized patients, a chair with attached armrests, adjustable special heat reflecting mirrors, a computer with a touchscreen monitor, data storage, software, and Wi-Fi communication. The tester includes an air cooling unit that blows cool air during part of the test cycle.

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the description focuses on standard thermal imaging technology and hardware.

No
The device is described as an "adjunctive diagnostic screening" tool, meaning it assists in diagnosis but does not provide therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion or reperfusion of tissue or organs."

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a thermal camera, metal enclosure, motor, electronics, chair, mirrors, computer, touchscreen monitor, data storage, and an air cooling unit. While it includes software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Sentinel BreastScan II System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Sentinel BreastScan II System's Function: The Sentinel BreastScan II System works by capturing and recording thermal infrared energy (heat) emitted from the human body. It does not involve the analysis of specimens taken from the body.

The device is a diagnostic imaging system that uses thermal imaging to assess heat patterns on the breast for adjunctive diagnostic screening. This is a form of in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging, not in vitro (in glass/outside the living body) diagnostics.

Device Description

The Sentinel BreastScan II System consists of a portable device that captures and records thermal infrared energy (heat) emitting from a person's body. There is no compression of the breast or patient contact with the device and the test emits no radiation to the patient. The device consists of a thermal camera, a metal enclosure to secure and protect components, a motor and electronics to raise and lower the tester to adjust the camera for various sized patients, a chair with attached armrests, adjustable special heat reflecting mirrors, a computer with a touchscreen monitor, data storage, software, and Wi-Fi communication. The tester includes an air cooling unit that blows cool air during part of the test cycle.

Intended Use / Indications for use

The Sentinel BreastScan II System is intended for viewing and recording heat patterns generated by the human body in the hospital, acute care settings, outpatient surgery, healthcare practitioner facilities or in an environment where patient care is provided by qualified healthcare personnel. The patient populations include adult. The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion of tissue or organs. This device is intended for use by qualified healthcare personnel trained in its use.

Summary of Technological Characteristics

Telethermography is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. Using an advanced non-contact infrared thermal camera, the Sentinel BreastScan II system records thermal data (emission of body temperature) from a patient's breasts. During the procedure, the patient sits facing a thermal camera, cool air is blown on the patient's breasts for part of the test and additional thermal data is recorded. The data is verified for errors, securely stored and made available to the healthcare professional or a third party reference lab for later processing and evaluation. The test procedure does not involve any compression or touching of the breasts and the patient has no contact with the tester.

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

  • . Advanced digital Thermal Camera (FDA cleared).
  • · The Sentinel BreastScan II uses a FLIR A315 camera with a 45º lens at 2.5 ft. from the patient. The BreastScan IR uses a FLIR S40 camera with a 25º lens at 5 ft. from the patient. The FOV is the same for both cameras at patient chest.
  • Test Sequence is the same for capturing thermal data and cooling patient. .
  • . Tester housing contains computer, monitor(s), thermal camera, software and air cooling system equipment.
  • . Patient Chair with attached special (IR reflecting) mirrors to capture side images of breasts and custom armrests for proper patient positioning.
  • Air Cooling System blows cool air onto patient breasts during test. .

5

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • The Sentinel BreastScan II System Tester housing is custom designed and includes . motorized vertical travel for alignment of thermal camera and air cooling system with the patient. The BreastScan IR System Tester housing is a standard commercial cart containing the tester components at a fixed camera height. The vertical alignment of the patient is achieved by an adjustable chair.
  • The Sentinel BreastScan II chair is a fixed height chair with vertically adjustable . mirrors and armrests. The BreastScan IR chair is vertically adjustable with fixed mirrors and armrests.
  • . The Sentinel BreastScan II stores data securely in the cloud. The BreastScan IR stores data locally on the computer.

Performance Data

The Sentinel BreastScan II System was tested to and complies with the following standards:

  • ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012, C1:2009/(R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012 . or IEC 60601-1 ed. 3.1 2012-08.
  • [IEC] [60601-1-2:2007] Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2 Requirements for Basic . Safety And Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Disturbances -Requirements and Tests} [2007}

The performance testing conducted for the thermal camera, system performance monitoring, software and the device functionality as a whole demonstrates that the device meets all Sentinel BreastScan II requirements and specifications as provided in the verification and validation testing results reports. In all instances, the Sentinel BreastScan II functioned and the results observed and reported were as expected.

Conclusions

The Sentinel BreastScan II System has the same intended use and indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the Infrared Sciences Corp. BreastScan IR. The minor differences in the Sentinel BreastScan II System's technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the Sentinel BreastScan II System is as safe and effective as the Infrared Sciences Corp., BreastScan IR. Thus, the Sentinel BreastScan II System is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
