Intended Use

The Planmed Clarity 2D and Planmed Clarity S mammography units acquire digital 2D mammographic images. The Planmed Clarity 2D/S systems are intended to be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Clarity 2D/S systems may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast.

Device Description

The Planmed Clarity 2D and Clarity S are Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) systems for generating mammographic x-ray images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. Planmed Clarity 2D and Clarity S utilize an amorphous silicon based digital image receptor to capture images. The receptor directly converts the incoming X-ray photons to digital image data.

The workflow with Clarity 2D is controlled by the side displays/touch panels and the workflow of Clarity S is controlled from the acquisition workstation and Clarity Manager acquisition and communications software. The patient information is entered manually or received from the hospital, radiology, or mammography information systems (HIS, RIS, or MIS. respectively), as a format of modality worklist. Subsequently, the images are acquired. processed, and displayed for preview. After initial evaluation by the user, the images are either printed or transferred for soft-copy review.

Study Information

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set:

  • Sample Size: 6 patients
  • Data Provenance: One site in Bulgaria. The cases selected also included diagnostic mammograms (spot and/or magnification images) in addition to routine screening images (BI-RADS score 1 or 2).
  • Retrospective/Prospective: The text does not explicitly state if the study was retrospective or prospective. Given that "6 patients participated to routine breast cancer screening" and images were then selected for evaluation, it suggests a prospective acquisition for the purpose of the study.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Test Set):

  • Number of Experts: Two
  • Qualifications: MQSA qualified experienced US radiologists.

4. Adjudication Method for Test Set:

  • Method: The two MQSA qualified experienced US radiologists reviewed the images independently. There is no mention of a formal adjudication process (like 2+1 or 3+1) if their independent ratings differed. The statement "All images were rated good or excellent" suggests they either agreed or the individual assessments were sufficient.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

  • Was it done?: No, a formal MRMC comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI assistance versus without AI assistance was not performed as described in the provided text. The study focused on physician perception of image quality from the new device rather than reader performance with AI.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:

  • Was it done?: No, a standalone algorithm-only performance study was not described. The evaluation focused on the overall system's image quality as reviewed by human experts.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used (Test Set):

  • Type: The ground truth for the clinical image evaluation was based on expert consensus/review by two MQSA qualified experienced US radiologists, who rated the images as "good or excellent" for mammographic usage. The images themselves were selected based on BI-RADS scores 1 or 2 (indicating negative or benign findings), and some diagnostic mammograms.

8. Sample Size for Training Set:

  • The provided text does not mention a training set or any machine learning/AI components requiring a training set. The descriptions relate to the hardware and software of a digital mammography system and its image quality validation.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established:

  • Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning model is mentioned.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Planmed Clarity 2D and S mammography units acquire digital 2D mammographic images. Both systems are intended to be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Clarity 2D and S systems may also be used for additional diagnostic workup of the breast.

The Indications for Use (IFU) statement are the same for both subject and predicate systems.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

General

Both predicate and subject devices are using the same basic operating principles and are technically very similar. The Clarity 2D system is similar to the predicate Clarity. The 2D system can be technically upgraded to a DBT system in the field (not for the US market). The Clarity S system is a value system derived from Clarity and it cannot be upgraded to DBT. The dual touchscreen user interfaces of Clarity and Clarity 2D are omitted from Clarity S. X-ray generation and control are identical in both systems. The compression system and AEC technology are the same.

Integrated detector

The digital full field flat panel detector is a new version of the Clarity detector. The new detector has essentially identical imaging characteristics and signal processing as the predicate device. Quality assurance with pixel defect acceptance criteria comparison is similar. Pixel matrixes are identical, pixel width 83 um. ADC bit depth is 16 bit for the subject system vs. 14 bit for the predicate system. Software interface to communicate with the detector has not been changed.

X-ray unit

Dimensions of the units are similar.

X-rav tube

Units use the same X-ray tube.

X-ray generator

Units use the same X-ray generator.

X-rav anti-scatter grid

Same grid is used on both systems.

Software

The Clarity Manager workstation software was changed to run on Windows 10 instead of Windows 7 of the predicate system. The software of the system has been improved to include encrypted DICOM communication. Imaging sequence has been made shorter by improving the software interface with the detector and with some optimization of the x-ray generator timing. The software has been adapted for the higher dynamic range of the new detector version (from 14 bit to 16 bit). Also some new hardware version related changes of the user interfaces have been made. A detailed software description document is included with this submission along with a comprehensive description of changes between software versions of the predicate device to the subject device.

Risks

Cyber security risks and their mitigations have been addressed more closely and comprehensively with the latest software release for the subject systems. New hazards in comparison to predicate device have been identified and addressed.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing

Since the subject systems are almost identical to the predicate device, no new patient contacting mechanical parts have been added to the subject system. Hence no new biocompatibility testing was necessary. Thus, there is no risk or concern to the patient's safety from contact with the materials of construction of this new 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

{6}------------------------------------------------

60601-2-45, ISO 10993-1 for safety, and IEC 60601-1-2 for EMC. The only electrical difference is the flat panel detector type which has been separately emc tested by TÜV Rheinland (please see attached emc testing report in VOL17.)

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.

Summary of physical laboratory testing (bench testing) results:

    1. Sensitometric response: Both detectors respond linearly to radiation exposure
  • Spatial resolution: Both systems perform similar in terms of MTF since the detector 2. scintillator material or thickness are the same and detector element pixel size is the same.
    1. Noise analysis: The subject device has slightly better noise performance. Also SNR and CNR are slightly higher.
    1. Dynamic range: The subject device produces higher DQE than the predicate system.
    1. Repeated exposures: Ghost tolerance was similar.
    1. Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) performance: With automatic filtration change the organ and entrance doses are well within generally accepted levels. With a 40 mm PMMA phantom corresponding to an average breast thickness and glandularity, organ dose was measured 1.23 mGy with W/Ag beam quality.
    1. Phantom test: RMI phantom scores for all attributes are similar for subject and predicate devices. CDMAM test passes with both systems.
    1. Patient radiation dose: With varving phantom thickness and varying adiposity and glandularity factors, both systems achieve radiation dose levels well within generally acceptable limits.
    1. Breast compression system: Powered compression pressure test results are similar.

Clinical image evaluation

Clinical image evaluation was performed with the subject Clarity 2D system. Purpose was to determine if the image quality were judged to be of sufficiently acceptable quality for mammographic usage when reviewed by MQSA qualified experienced radiologists. The images were taken in one site in Bulgaria where 6 patients participated to routine breast cancer screening. Images assigned BI-RADS score 1 or 2 were selected for the evaluation. Some cases also included diagnostic mammograms, i.e. spot and/or magnification images. The images were then reviewed by two MQSA qualified experienced US radiologists independently. All images were rated good or excellent and thus the overall image quality was acceptable for all cases and image types.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the hardware and software verification and validation demonstrate that the Planmed Clarity 2D and S full field digital mammography systems perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical image evaluation also shows that the devices equipped with the new detector version perform comparably to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
