The summary describes image processing, tracking, and navigation functionalities, but does not mention AI or ML.
No
The device is described as an accessory for imaging systems, intended to control transducer movement for systematic acquisition of 2D image slices, analyze, store, and retrieve digital ultrasounds for 3D image processing. Its purpose is to assist healthcare providers with tools for tracking instruments with respect to breast ultrasound images and to aid in scanning processes and image review. The device's primary function is for imaging and image processing, not for treating any condition or disease.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the BVN is intended to "assist health care providers trained in breast ultrasound with tools for electromagnetic tracking of instruments with respect of breast ultrasound images" and "is indicated for use as an adjunct to mammography for B-mode ultrasonic imaging of a patient's breast". This indicates its purpose is to aid in the assessment and imaging of breast tissue for diagnostic purposes, rather than treatment. Additionally, it mentions assisting in the "detection of sub centimeter lesions" and allowing for the evaluation of "anomalies discovered during the follow-up process," which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system "comprises hardware components and a software element," listing specific hardware components like a magnetic position tracking device, sensors, and a central control unit computer.
Based on the provided information, the Breast Volume Navigator (BVN) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
- BVN's Function: The BVN is an accessory for ultrasound imaging systems. It assists in the acquisition, processing, and visualization of ultrasound images of the breast. It does not analyze biological specimens taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the BVN is for controlling transducer position, acquiring and processing ultrasound images, and assisting healthcare providers with scanning and reviewing breast ultrasound images. This is all related to in vivo imaging.
- Device Description: The device description details hardware and software components for tracking transducer position, collecting image and positional data, and processing this information for visualization and analysis. Again, this is focused on imaging, not laboratory testing of specimens.
Therefore, the BVN falls under the category of a medical imaging device accessory, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A

Device Description
The Breast Volume Navigator (BVN™) Model G-2000, hereinafter maybe referred to as the BVN™ G-2000 System or the BVN™ System, comprises hardware components and a software element, including the following components: a magnetic position tracking device, sensor attaching pieces used to attach magnetic sensors to the skin and ultrasound probe, a central control unit computer, and software for controlling the system, collecting, and processing ultrasound images and positional data, and performing automated annotations.
The BVN™ System has a touch-screen user interface and push-button for power on the system.
The Use Interface (touchscreen display and central control unit computer) are placed on a medical grade cart that can be positioned next to a standard adjustable examination table for ease of use and ergonomic adaptation.
The BVN™ System has a USB port available for transferring files via USB Memory Stick.
The BVN™ System has an Ethernet port for connection to a PACS system, using DICOM.
The BVN™ System has a VGA/DVI Input Ports for capturing images from an ultrasound imaging scanner.
The BVN™ System receives ultrasound DICOM images from the US machine via the network connection and telemetry data from a position tracking system. The BVN™ automatically detects when the image is being frozen on the US machine and takes a snapshot of the telemetry data at that time. Later, when the BVN™ receives the DICOM image, it associates the telemetry data to the image from the time when the image was frozen on the US machine.
A Completeness-of-Scan Assessment ensures that all breast tissue has been sufficiently covered, the BVN™ System will achieve this by tracking the real-time position of the probe relative to the breast and chest wall to ensure the entire breast volume has been covered with sufficient detail to allow the detection of sub centimeter lesions. As the probe is swept over the breast region, the technician will be provided a completeness map highlighting the portions of the breast that have not been sufficiently scanned. The BVN™ System will provide the operator a display of regions with insufficient coverage, prompting the operator to rescan these regions. The BVN™ System can retrieve previous examinations DICOM images allowing the user to enter positional data from another/previous ultrasound examination for follow-up purposes. Any anomalies discovered during the follow-up process can be evaluated using the localization and measurement tools included in the software.
The customer's existing ultrasound probe securely attaches to the BVN™ System probe sensor. During a scan, the operator applies constant pressure to the transducer against the patient's breast tissue and can rotate the transducer (pitch and roll) to accommodate for the physical characteristics of the breast.
Exam data is subsequently reviewed on standard radiological viewing stations.

The MetriTrack BVN™ G-2000 Software Application is Safety Class B according to ANSI/AAMI/IEC 62304 Ed. 1.1:2015 Medical device software - Software life cycle processes. Determination of the LOC and Safety Class is the result of risk assessment activities per ISO 14971. The Primary risks of the BVN™ G-2000 Software Application are related to the consequences of clinical decisions based on false positive and false negative results for a patient due to inaccurate result. For a false positive result, the risks could include unnecessary testing or inappropriate treatment related to an inaccurate result. For a false negative result, the risk could include a missed or delayed diagnosis, the following measures are intended to mitigate the risks and shall be communicated to the users:
-
- The BVN™ G-2000 System is not intended to be used as the sole means for patient diagnosis or patient management decisions. The results should only be used in conjunction with the patient's clinical history.
-
- All software-aided results must be reviewed and confirmed by a qualified physician. It is the responsibility of a qualified physician to employ appropriate procedures and safeguards to assure the validity of the interpretation of results obtained. No patient report can be created if the qualified physician does not confirm the result.
Further, MetriTrack, Inc. has determined that its device advances the field without deviating from the scope and spirit of the Act by enabling the user to visualize the ultrasound probe position and orientation over the patient's breast diagram in real time and perform automatic annotation in a stand-alone device that works with any standard ultrasound imaging system which have been previously cleared by FDA under the 510(k) process.

Electrical Testing
EMC testing per IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Class A, Group 2 for Emissions, Immunity for Professional Healthcare Facility Environment FCC Part 18.305:2020 and Electrical Safety Testing per NSI/AAMI ES60601-1 Edition 3.1 (revision 2005/(R)2012 + A1:2012, C1:2009/(R)2012 + A2:2010/(R)2012). Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance, technically the same as IEC 60601-1 with US National deviations) were performed for the BVN™ G-2000 System. All test results were acceptable for the BVN™G-2000 System.
Performance Data
Extensive Performance, Verification and Validation testing for the BVN™ G-2000 System was performed per internal procedures, which are compliant with 21 CFR Part 820.30, 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 work-environment using phantoms to obtain the functional, accuracy and precision test results.
DESIGN VERIFICATION TESTS: The design specifications of the BVN™ G-2000 System were tested and verified to confirm that the product performance fulfilled those specification requirements.
DESIGN VALIDATION TESTS - NON-CLINICAL TESTING: System Validation testing was performed as follow:
-
- Mapping the accuracy and precision of the BVN™ System position tracking capability within its sensing volume using a Volume Mapping Performance Test Phantom with 9 test locations and 3 layers above the test phantom, there layers were intended to cover the height of the operative volume which is 35 cm. In this environment the BVN™ System has achieved the following:
- Linear Accuracy and Linear Precision of Distance to Nipple: accuracy . and precision of ≤ 5 mm for measuring the distance of a tarqet in a breast to nipple of the same breast.
- Accuracy and Precision of Clock Face Angle: accuracy and precision of ≤ 5 degrees for measuring the Clock Face Angle of a target in a breast.
- . Accuracy and Precision of Patient Body Angles: accuracy and precision of ≤ 5 degrees for measuring the angles of the patient body relative to the examination bed in all three anatomical planes, i.e., Coronal, Transverse, and Sagittal planes.
- Accuracy and Precision of Linear Accuracy: accuracy and precision of ≤ . 1 mm for measuring the linear accuracy between two points in the ultrasound image at one standard deviation.
-
- The completeness of scan accuracy has been tested using a Rigid Test Phantom to track the real-time position of the ultrasound probe relative to the region scanned to ensure that the entire scanning volume has been sufficiently scanned. In this environment the BVN™ System has achieved the following:
13
- Completeness of Scanning Breast Contour Accuracy: BVN™ accurately ● captured and represented the hand drawn breast contour with a maximum positional error of +/- 5 mm in the X-Y plane.
- . BVN™ correctly calculated the overlap between adjacent scanning bands and identified the occurrence of when this overlap is less than the set threshold as to ensure breast tissue is not missed between images: BVN™ was able to discern when overlaps of adjacent bands are less than a set threshold within a range of 5 to 30 mm ± 2 mm of overlap.
- 3D Point Coordinates of Image Corners Velocity: BVN™ detected 3D . Point coordinates of image corners velocity above and below a set threshold within a range of 15 to 50 mm/s +/- 10% at 1 standard deviation as to ensure breast tissue is not missed between images.
