The device description clearly states it is a "Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) system" that utilizes an "amorphous silicon based digital image receptor" and involves "X-ray" as the input modality. This indicates significant hardware components beyond just software. The software is described as controlling the workflow and image acquisition, but it is part of a larger hardware system.
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.
- Device Function: The Planmed Clarity 2D mammography unit is an imaging device that uses X-rays to create images of the breast. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for acquiring and using digital mammographic images for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. This is a diagnostic process based on imaging, not on the analysis of in vitro samples.
Therefore, the Planmed Clarity 2D mammography unit falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies
Biocompatibility testing: "To evaluate biocompatibility of the Planmed Clarity full field digital mammography device, we performed safety evaluation of acute and repeat toxicity. As conclusion, none of the compounds measured in the extracts were present at levels which could adversely affect the patient. Thus, there is no risk or concern to the patient's safety from contact with the materials of construction of this mammography unit."
Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): "Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the Planmed Clarity mammography system. The system complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-2-28, IEC 60601-2-45, ISO 10993-1 for safety, and IEC 60601-1-2 for EMC."
Software Verification and Validation Testing: "Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "Moderate" level of concern."
Physical laboratory testing: "The performance of the system was tested according to Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Full-Field Digital Mammography System Document issued on: March 27, 2012."
Results:
- Sensitometric response: Both detectors respond linearly to radiation exposure
- Spatial resolution: The predicate system has on average 10% higher MTF at 5 lp/mm. Difference is likely due to direct signal conversion of the a-Se detector.
- Noise analysis: The subject device is less sensitive to noise at higher frequencies. At lower doses, the difference becomes more pronounced. Also SNR and CNR are higher.
- Dynamic range: The subject device produces higher DQE than the predicate system
- Repeated exposures: Ghost tolerance was similar.
- Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) performance: With automatic filtration change the organ and entrance doses are below EUREF reference values.
- Phantom test: RMI phantom scores for all attributes are higher for the subject device. CDMAM test pass for both systems.
- Patient radiation dose: Both systems achieve lower patient radiation dose than the EUREF reference level.
- Breast compression system: Powered compression pressure test results are similar.
Clinical image evaluation: "We also performed clinical image evaluation where MQSA certified experienced radiologist scored representative sample mammograms and diagnostic images. The overall image quality was acceptable for all cases and image types."
