Intended Use

The FUJIFILM Biopsy Positioner (FDR-2000BPY) is an optional accessory for the Aspire Cristalle (FDR MS-3500) digital mammography system. It is designed to allow for accurate determination of three dimensional lesion locations in the breast using information extracted from stereotactic pairs of two-dimensional images and/or Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) images. It is intended to provide guidance for interventional purposes (such as biopsy, pre-surgical localization or treatment devices).

Device Description

The Biopsy Positioner (FDR-2000BPY) is an optional accessory for the Digital Mammography system. It is designed for positioning the needle when performing Stereotactic and/or Tomosynthesis Biopsies, fine needle aspirations, core needle, and vacuum assisted biopsies in an upright position. The Biopsy Positioner uses a Stereo pair of images and/or Tomosynthesis images. The position of the three coordinates (X, Y, and Z) is computed using the position of the object on each of the images, as indicated by the operator, and the known geometry of the system.

FDR-2000BPY is mainly composed of the following elements:

  • The Positioner that supports and positions the needle .
  • The Positioner Control Cabinet which supplies power to the positioned .
  • The Operation panel which displays the distance between the compression plate and . target pathology, the distance between the target pathology and the needle, and also electrically drives the positioner in the X, Y and Z directions.

The subject of this Special 510(k) premarket notification is addinq use of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) images for extracting information to determine three dimensional lesion locations in the breast.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the Biopsy Positioner (FDR-2000BPY) for determining 3D lesion locations in the breast for interventional purposes using stereotactic and/or Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) images.

There is no information in the provided text regarding a study on "AI" performance or human reader improvement with AI assistance. The device described is a biopsy positioner and not an AI algorithm for image interpretation.

Here's the information that can be extracted based on the provided text, focusing on the device itself and its performance:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Feature/MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from testing standards or predicate)Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document states "Bench testing was performed... to evaluate the stereotactic and tomosynthesis biopsy needle positioning accuracy." It does not specify a numerical sample size for this bench testing.

  • Data Provenance: Bench testing, so it is synthetic/physical testing, not patient data. No country of origin is specified for the bench testing.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • This device is a biopsy positioner, not an image interpretation or diagnostic AI device. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth for a test set" in the context of diagnostic performance is not directly applicable.
  • The accuracy of the device (e.g., needle positioning) would be verified against physical measurements or established calibration standards during bench testing. No human experts are mentioned for establishing ground truth in this context.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable as the testing involves physical performance metrics (e.g., positioning accuracy) rather than subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a biopsy positioner accessory, not an image reader or an AI diagnostic tool. There is no mention of human readers or AI assistance in the document.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • This question is built on the premise that the device is an "algorithm." The FDR-2000BPY is a physical "Biopsy Positioner," an accessory to a mammography system. While it has software and computes 3D coordinates, it is not described as a standalone diagnostic algorithm. Its performance is integrated with the mammography system and involves human operation for marking targets.
  • The "performance data" section focuses on hardware-related compliance (EMC, radiation safety) and "needle positioning accuracy" via bench testing, not autonomous algorithmic performance.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For the needle positioning accuracy, the ground truth would likely be physical measurements against known target coordinates or established calibration standards in a bench test environment. It is not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data, as these relate to diagnostic accuracy, not the accuracy of a physical positioning system itself.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical accessory with integrated software for coordinate calculation, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The "training" for such a system would involve engineering and calibration, not data-driven model training.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for an AI model. For the device's development and calibration, ground truth would be established through engineering specifications, precise physical measurements, and system calibration procedures.
