The document describes a navigation system using electromagnetic tracking and image recording, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as assisting physicians with tools for electromagnetic tracking of instruments and providing quality control of scanning; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an "adjunct to handheld breast ultrasound to assist the physicians in their scanning process" and provides "quality control of scanning to provide an overall observation of scanning process." It aids in the scanning process but does not interpret or diagnose results itself.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes hardware components such as a Position Sensor Clip (electromagnetic), Sensor Transmitter, and Control Computer, in addition to the software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 is a software device that assists physicians with electromagnetic tracking of instruments in relation to breast ultrasound images. It is used in conjunction with a handheld ultrasound device, which is used to image the breast in vivo (within the living body).
- The device's function is navigation and quality control of the scanning process. It helps the physician track the ultrasound probe and visualize the scanned area on a route map. This is a tool for guiding the imaging process itself, not for analyzing biological samples or substances taken from the body.
The device is a medical device that aids in an imaging procedure, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 is intended as a standalone software device installed on a standalone windows-based computer to assist physicians with tools for electromagnetic tracking of instruments in respect of breast ultrasound images generated from FDA cleared handheld ultrasound devices. The device is not intended to be used in the environment of strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, such as in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) room. BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 is indicated for use as an adjunct to handheld breast ultrasound to assist the physicians in their scanning process. The scanning paths are displayed on a route map and provide quality control of scanning to provide an overall observation of scanning process.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance, Verification and Validation testing for BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 was performed per internal procedures to ensure that all functional requirements have been met, and that core functions execute as expected. Testing was conducted in-house by trained personnel in a simulated workenvironment using breast phantoms to obtain the functional and accuracy test results.
The result of these tests demonstrates that BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 validation is with in specification. As such, BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 is as safe and effective as the predicate devices and is substantially equivalent to existing products on the market today.
In all instances, BR-FHUS Navigation 1.0 functioned as intended and the operation observed was as expected.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.
(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
