Yes
The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states that the device incorporates "machine learning techniques" and "deep learning modules".
No
MammoScreen is a diagnostic aid, providing information to help interpret medical images, rather than directly treating or preventing a disease.
No.
Explanation: The device is intended as a "concurrent reading aid" and explicitly states, "Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by MammoScreen®." It helps identify findings and assess their suspicion level, but does not provide a definitive diagnosis.
Yes
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that MammoScreen is a software application that processes medical images (FFDM and DBT) and provides analysis and reporting. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components that are part of the device itself. The output is a report on a separate screen, implying the software runs on existing computing infrastructure.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze biological samples: In Vitro Diagnostics are designed to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
- This device analyzes medical images: MammoScreen processes and analyzes medical images (FFDM and DBT) of the breast. It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
- Its purpose is image interpretation aid: The intended use clearly states it's a "concurrent reading aid for interpreting physicians" to help identify findings on mammograms.
Therefore, MammoScreen falls under the category of medical image analysis software or a computer-aided detection (CAD) system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
No
The letter does not state that the FDA has reviewed and cleared a PCCP for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
MammoScreen® is intended for use as a concurrent reading aid for interpreting physicians, to help identify findings on screening FFDM and DBT acquired with compatible mammography systems and assess their level of suspicion. Output of the device includes marks placed on findings on the mammogram and level of suspicion scores. The findings could be soft tissue lesions or calcifications. The level of suspicion score is expressed at the finding level, for each breast and overall for the mammogram. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by MammoScreen®.

Device Description
MammoScreen 2.0 automatically processes the four views (one CC and one MLO per breast) of standard screening FFDM or DBT, and outputs a corresponding report on a separate screen, alongside the monitors used for reading. This report is designed to be easily readable with very few interactions required by providing an overall level of suspicion of each exam and giving explicit visual indications when highly suspicious exams are detected.
MammoScreen 2.0 detects and characterizes findings on a scale from one to ten, referred to as the MammoScreen score. The score was designed such that findings with a low score have a very low level of suspicion. As the score increases, so does the level of suspicion.
Furthermore, MammoScreen 2.0 provides a high level of interpretability. Results are by construction consistent at the finding, breast and mammogram level. A breast takes on the highest score of its detected findings, and the level of suspicion for the exam is driven by the breast(s) with the highest score. Therefore, it is always possible to track a high suspicion of malignancy for an exam to the corresponding breast(s), and to a specific finding within the breast(s).

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The reader studies used a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) cross-over design with an enriched sample set of 240 cases with MOSA-qualified and ABR-certified readers (14 for the 2D study and 20 for the 3D study).
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical validation of MammoScreen 2.0 included two reader studies (one for each modality: FFDM and DBT) with similar designs and methodologies.
The reader studies used a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) cross-over design with an enriched sample set of 240 cases with MOSA-qualified and ABR-certified readers (14 for the 2D study and 20 for the 3D study) to compare the performance of unaided radiologists to that of radiologists using MammoScreen.
The objectives of the studies were to determine:
- Whether the radiologist performance when using MammoScreen is superior to unaided ● radiologist performance for interpretation of screening mammograms (primary objective).
- Whether the performance of MammoScreen standalone is superior to unaided radiologist performance.
- Whether the performance of MammoScreen standalone is non-inferior to aided radiologist performance.
All performances were intended at mammogram. breast and finding level and assessed by measuring the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve (AUC).
Radiologists improved their diagnostic performance in the detection of breast cancer with 2D FFDM (Full-Field Digital Mammography) by using MammoScreen. The performance of radiologists taking part in the clinical study was improved when using MammoScreen 2.0, with the average AUC going from 0.77 to 0.80.
The performance of the standalone MammoScreen on FFDM (AUC = 0.79) was found to be noninferior to the average performance of unaided radiologists (AUC = 0.77).
This MRMC study was conducted on MammoScreen 1.0, the predicate device. Standalone performance tests on subject device demonstrate that MammoScreen 2.0 achieves non-inferior performance compared to the predicate device.
Radiologists improved their diagnostic performance in the detection of breast cancer with DBT (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis) by using MammoScreen. The performance of radiologists taking part in the clinical study was improved when using MammoScreen 2.0, with the average AUC going from 0.79 to 0.83.
The performance of the standalone MammoScreen on DBT (AUC = 0.84) was found to be superior to the average performance of unaided radiologists (AUC = 0.79).

Predicate Device:
The predicate device is MammoScreen, cleared under K192854.
Device Description:
MammoScreen 2.0 automatically processes the four views (one CC and one MLO per breast) of standard screening FFDM or DBT, and outputs a corresponding report on a separate screen, alongside the monitors used for reading. This report is designed to be easily readable with very few interactions required by providing an overall level of suspicion of each exam and giving explicit visual indications when highly suspicious exams are detected.
MammoScreen 2.0 detects and characterizes findings on a scale from one to ten, referred to as the MammoScreen score. The score was designed such that findings with a low score have a very low level of suspicion. As the score increases, so does the level of suspicion.
Furthermore, MammoScreen 2.0 provides a high level of interpretability. Results are by construction consistent at the finding, breast and mammogram level. A breast takes on the highest score of its detected findings, and the level of suspicion for the exam is driven by the breast(s) with the highest score. Therefore, it is always possible to track a high suspicion of malignancy for an exam to the corresponding breast(s), and to a specific finding within the breast(s).

MammoScreen is intended for use as a concurrent reading aid for interpreting physicians, to help identify findings on screening FFDM or DBT acquired with compatible mammography systems, and assess their level of suspicion. Output of the device includes marks placed on findings on the mammogram and level of suspicion scores. The findings could be soft tissue lesions or calcifications.

Intended user population
Intended users of MammoScreen are physicians qualified to read screening mammograms.
Intended patient population
The device is intended to be used in the population of women undergoing screening mammography.
Warnings and precautions
Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by MammoScreen.
Predicate device comparison:
The indication for use of MammoScreen 2.0 is similar to that of the predicate device. Both devices are intended for concurrent use by physicians interpreting breast images to help them with localizing and characterizing findings. The devices are not intended as a replacement for the review of a physician or their clinical judgement. Use of the device with DBT has been added in the indications for use of the subject device compared to the indications for use of the predicate device. The algorithmic components have been updated to improve detection accuracy for FFDM and to enable processing of DBT. The overall design of MammoScreen 2.0 is the same as that of the predicate device. Both versions detect and characterize findings in radiological breast images and provide information about the presence, location, and characteristics of the findings to the user in a similar manner. The modifications do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness of the device as compared to the predicate device.
Non clinical Testing
MammoScreen is a software-only device. The level of concern for the device is determined as Moderate Level of Concern.
Tests have been performed in compliance with the following recognized consensus standards:
- IEC 62304:2006/A1:2016- Medical device software Software life-cycle processes ●
- IEC 62366-1:2015+AMD1:2020- Medical devices Application of usability engineering ● to medical devices.
MammoScreen 2.0 has successfully completed integration and verification testing and beta validation. In addition, potential hazards have been evaluated and mitigated, and have acceptable levels.
6
Clinical Testing
Clinical validation of MammoScreen 2.0 included two reader studies (one for each modality: FFDM and DBT) with similar designs and methodologies.
Hereafter, unless differences are explicitly detailed, the description will refer to both studies.
The reader studies used a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) cross-over design with an enriched sample set of 240 cases with MOSA-qualified and ABR-certified readers (14 for the 2D study and 20 for the 3D study) to compare the performance of unaided radiologists to that of radiologists using MammoScreen.
The objectives of the studies were to determine:
- Whether the radiologist performance when using MammoScreen is superior to unaided ● radiologist performance for interpretation of screening mammograms (primary objective).
- Whether the performance of MammoScreen standalone is superior to unaided radiologist performance.
- Whether the performance of MammoScreen standalone is non-inferior to aided radiologist performance.
All performances were intended at mammogram. breast and finding level and assessed by measuring the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve (AUC).
Radiologists improved their diagnostic performance in the detection of breast cancer with 2D FFDM (Full-Field Digital Mammography) by using MammoScreen. The performance of radiologists taking part in the clinical study was improved when using MammoScreen 2.0, with the average AUC going from 0.77 to 0.80.
The performance of the standalone MammoScreen on FFDM (AUC = 0.79) was found to be noninferior to the average performance of unaided radiologists (AUC = 0.77).
This MRMC study was conducted on MammoScreen 1.0, the predicate device. Standalone performance tests on subject device demonstrate that MammoScreen 2.0 achieves non-inferior performance compared to the predicate device.
Radiologists improved their diagnostic performance in the detection of breast cancer with DBT (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis) by using MammoScreen. The performance of radiologists taking part in the clinical study was improved when using MammoScreen 2.0, with the average AUC going from 0.79 to 0.83.
The performance of the standalone MammoScreen on DBT (AUC = 0.84) was found to be superior to the average performance of unaided radiologists (AUC = 0.79).

The predicate device and the subject device are two versions of the MammoScreen software. They both rely on the same fundamental scientific technology. MammoScreen has been adapted to enable analysis of DBT images. This design change is gauged at the software detailed design level and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness by itself.
Conclusions
Standalone performance tests with FFDM demonstrate that MammoScreen 2.0 achieves noninferior performance compared to the predicate device. For application with DBT, a clinical reader study and standalone tests demonstrated that the device is safe and effective.
Therapixel has applied a risk management process in accordance with FDA recognized standards to identify, evaluate, and mitigate all known hazards related to MammoScreen 2.0. These hazards may occur when accuracy of diagnosis is potentially affected, causing either false positives or false negatives. All identified risks are effectively mitigated and it can be concluded that the residual risk is outweighed by the benefits. Considering all data in this submission, the data provided in this 510(k) support the safe and effective use of MammoScreen 2.0 for its indications for use and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
