Yes
The device is an imaging system (B-mode ultrasonic imaging system) that produces images and "colorized and grayscale relative stiffness image stacks that provide the radiologist with additional reference information." This information is used by a radiologist to make a diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a transducer, table/housing assembly, water conditioning system, computer control system, power system, data acquisition system, and a touchscreen display. It is an imaging system that relies on physical hardware to acquire and process data.
Based on the provided text, the SoftVue™ device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue). The SoftVue™ device is an imaging system that uses ultrasound to visualize the breast within the body.
- The intended use and device description clearly state it's an imaging system for the breast. It acquires ultrasound data and processes it into images.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing tests on specimens.
Therefore, SoftVue™ falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
SoftVue™ 3.0 is indicated for use as a B-mode ultrasonic imaging system for imaging of a patient's breast using a curvilinear array transducer that completely surrounds the breast. The SoftVue™ System is comprised of the following subsystems: Transducer, Table/Housing Assembly, Water Conditioning System, Computer Control System, Image Reconstruction System, Power System, and the Data Acquisition System.
The SoftVue™ System has a built-in curvilinear transducer that is used to acquire ultrasound data. Data are acquired from a patient lying prone on the table with their breast submerged in an imaging chamber filled with warm (body temperature) water. The breast is positioned in the center of the transducer. A Breast Interface Assembly connects to the distal end of the breast using a gentle vacuum, drawing the breast downward to center, shape, and stabilize the breast for optimal imaging. Cameras located at the bottom of the imaging chamber provide a live video feed to the system operator to aid in positioning the patient's breast.
Once the scan is initiated, the transducer collects data that are processed to produce a series of B-mode ultrasound image slices that can be stacked to yield a volumetric ultrasound image of the breast. SoftVue™ also outputs colorized and grayscale relative stiffness image stacks that provide the radiologist with additional reference information.
The Water Control System is used to de-gas and warm the water that is used as the image acquisition medium. The Computer Control System controls the functionality of the other subsystems. The reconstruction engine processes the image data acquired by the transducer ring into B-mode ultrasound images.
The system includes a touchscreen display (user interface). The touchscreen display allows the user to control the system and perform an imaging procedure. Patient information is entered into the system using the QWERTY keyboard on the touchscreen display, or the user can import the patient information from a DICOM modality worklist on an externally networked RIS server. Device errors and warnings are displayed on the touchscreen display.
SoftVue™ outputs the images to an externally networked PACS server which allows the images to be stored until they are reviewed on a workstation.

SoftVue™ 3.0 is indicated for use as a B-mode ultrasonic imaging system for imaging of a patient's breast using a curvilinear array transducer that completely surrounds the breast. The SoftVue™ System is comprised of the following subsystems: Transducer, Table/Housing Assembly, Water Conditioning System, Computer Control System, Image Reconstruction System, Power System, and the Data Acquisition System.
5
The SoftVue™ System has a built-in curvilinear transducer that is used to acquire ultrasound data. Data are acquired from a patient lying prone on the table with their breast submerged in an imaging chamber filled with warm (body temperature) water. The breast is positioned in the center of the transducer. A Breast Interface Assembly connects to the distal end of the breast using a gentle vacuum, drawing the breast downward to center, shape, and stabilize the breast for optimal imaging. Cameras located at the bottom of the imaging chamber provide a live video feed to the system operator to aid in positioning the patient's breast.
Once the scan is initiated, the transducer collects data that are processed to produce a series of B-mode ultrasound image slices that can be stacked to yield a volumetric ultrasound image of the breast. SoftVue™ also outputs colorized and grayscale relative stiffness image stacks that provide the radiologist with additional reference information.
The Water Control System is used to de-gas and warm the water that is used as the image acquisition medium. The Computer Control System controls the functionality of the other subsystems. The reconstruction engine processes the image data acquired by the transducer ring into B-mode ultrasound images.
The system includes a touchscreen display (user interface). The touchscreen display allows the user to control the system and perform an imaging procedure. Patient information is entered into the system using the QWERTY keyboard on the touchscreen display, or the user can import the patient information from a DICOM modality worklist on an externally networked RIS server. Device errors and warnings are displayed on the touchscreen display.
SoftVue™ outputs the images to an externally networked PACS server which allows the images to be stored until they are reviewed on a workstation.
