The device description explicitly states that it uses "deep learning techniques" and mentions the "Saige-Density AI algorithm".
No
The device provides an assessment of breast tissue composition and is an adjunct to diagnosis, but it does not treat or cure any condition.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "It is not a diagnostic aid."
Yes
The device description explicitly states "Saige-Density is Software as a Medical Device" and describes its function as processing digital images and generating outputs, without mentioning any associated hardware components that are part of the device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that Saige-Density "provides an ACR BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition breast density category to aid interpreting physicians in the assessment of breast tissue composition." It also clearly states, "It is not a diagnostic aid." IVDs are typically used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions by examining samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). Saige-Density is analyzing medical images (mammograms) to provide information about tissue composition, not to diagnose a disease directly from a biological sample.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it "processes screening and diagnostic digital mammograms" and "generates outputs that serve as an aid for interpreting radiologists in assessing breast density." This aligns with image analysis for assessment, not in vitro testing of biological samples.
- Input: The input is imaging data (mammograms), not biological samples.
- Output: The output is a breast density category and reports, not results from a test performed on a biological sample.
While Saige-Density is a medical device that uses AI and image processing to provide information relevant to patient care, its function is to analyze medical images, not to perform tests on biological specimens outside the body. This is the key distinction that prevents it from being classified as an IVD.

Device Description
Saige-Density is Software as a Medical Device that processes screening and diagnostic digital mammograms using deep learning techniques and generates outputs that serve as an aid for interpreting radiologists in assessing breast density. The software takes as input a single x-ray mammogram study and processes all acceptable 2D image DICOM files (FFDM and/or 2D synthetics) and generates a single study-level breast density category. Two DICOM files are outputted as a result: 1) a structured report (SR) DICOM object containing the case-level breast density category and 2) a secondary capture (SC) DICOM object containing a summary report with the study-level density category. Both output files contain the same breast density category ranging from "A" through "D" following Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5a Edition reporting guidelines. The SC report and/or the SR file may be viewed on a mammography viewing workstation.

DeepHealth ensured that there was no overlap between the data used to train and test the Saige-Density algorithm.
Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
The data used in the validation testing was obtained from different clinical sites than those used to develop the Saige-Density algorithm. DeepHealth ensured that there was no overlap between the data used to train and test the Saige-Density algorithm.
Summary of Performance Studies
A multi-site retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the standalone performance of Saige-Density on DBT and FFDM mammograms. The primary objective was to quantify the accuracy of Saige-Density's density category outputs with respect to a consensus of five expert radiologists. The statistical analysis was performed by an independent biostatistician. A total of 796 mammogram cases, representing 6,170 images, were retrospectively collected from five breast imaging centers in the United States. The collection sites selected for the pivotal study did not overlap with those used previously to collect data for training or testing the Saige-Density AI algorithm. The cases were gathered from unique female patients 35 years of age or older and included different modalities (DBT and FFDM), manufacturers (Hologic and GE), and exam types (screening and diagnostic). Each mammogram included in the study had one ground truth status for density: A (Fatty), B (Scattered Fibroglandular), C (Heterogeneously Dense), or D (Extremely Dense) as defined by ACR's BI-RADS 5th Edition guidelines. Ground truth was established for each case as the consensus of five expert radiologists' breast density categories on the same set of cases, and calculated as the median of the reported categories for each case.
Key Metrics
Saige-Density's accuracy on four-class categorization (density categories A, B, C, or D) was 81.28% (95% CI: 78.42, 83.84). Included confusion matrices for four-class and two-class (nondense: A, B; dense: C,D) categorization. For the "nondense" class, 351 instances are correctly classified (87.8%), while 49 instances are misclassified as "dense" (12.2%). For the "dense" class, 377 instances are correctly classified (95.2%), while 19 instances are misclassified as "nondense" (4.8%).

4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Saige-Density is Software as a Medical Device that processes screening and diagnostic digital mammograms using deep learning techniques and generates outputs that serve as an aid for interpreting radiologists in assessing breast density. The software takes as input a single x-ray mammogram study and processes all acceptable 2D image DICOM files (FFDM and/or 2D synthetics) and generates a single study-level breast density category. Two DICOM files are outputted as a result: 1) a structured report (SR) DICOM object containing the case-level breast density category and 2) a secondary capture (SC) DICOM object containing a summary report with the study-level density category. Both output files contain the same breast density category ranging from "A" through "D" following Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 5ª Edition reporting guidelines. The SC report and/or the SR file may be viewed on a mammography viewing workstation.
5. INDICATIONS FOR USE
Saige-Density is intended for use with compatible full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) systems. Saige-Density provides an ACR BI-RADS Atlas 5th Edition breast density category to aid interpreting physicians in the assessment of breast tissue composition. Saige-Density produces adjunctive information. It is not a diagnostic aid.
Intended User Population
The intended users of Saige-Density are interpreting physicians qualified to read mammography exams.
Intended Patient Populations
The device is intended to be used on female patients thirty-five (35) years of age or older undergoing mammography.

proprietary algorithms, there are assumed differences in the algorithmic components, as well as minor differences in the specific formats of the outputs provided to users.
Non-clinical and clinical testing has been completed ensuring that the differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the proposed subject device.
7. PERFORMANCE DATA
Saige-Density is a software device and has been determined to be of Moderate Level of Concern. Verification testing included software unit testing, software integration testing, and system testing. Testing confirmed that the software, as designed and implemented, satisfies the software requirements.
Validation of the software was performed using a retrospective study as described below. The data used in the validation testing was obtained from different clinical sites than those used to develop the Saige-Density algorithm. DeepHealth ensured that there was no overlap between the data used to train and test the Saige-Density algorithm. The data used to train the Saige-Density algorithm consisted of four datasets across various geographic locations within the US, including racially diverse regions such as New York City and Los Angeles.
Standalone Performance Testing:
A multi-site retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the standalone performance of Saige-Density on DBT and FFDM mammograms. The primary objective was to quantify the accuracy of Saige-Density's density category outputs with respect to a consensus of five expert radiologists. The statistical analysis was performed by an independent biostatistician.
A total of 796 mammogram cases, representing 6,170 images, were retrospectively collected from five breast imaging centers in the United States. Importantly, the collection sites selected for the pivotal study did not overlap with those used previously to collect data for training or testing the Saige-Density AI algorithm. The cases were gathered from unique female patients 35 years of age or older and included different modalities (DBT and FFDM), manufacturers (Hologic and GE), and exam types (screening and diagnostic). Each mammogram included in the study had one ground truth status for density: A (Fatty), B (Scattered Fibroglandular), C (Heterogeneously Dense), or D (Extremely Dense) as defined by ACR's BI-RADS 5th Edition guidelines. Ground truth was established for each case as the consensus of five expert radiologists' breast density categories on the same set of cases, and calculated as the median of the reported categories for each case.
Saige-Density's accuracy was computed as the percentage of cases that Saige-Density assigned the same density category to as ground truth. Saige-Density's accuracy on four-class categorization (density categories A, B, C, or D) was 81.28% (95% CI: 78.42, 83.84). Results for four-class and two-class (nondense: A, B; dense: C,D) categorization with respect to ground truth are summarized in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.

8. CONCLUSION
The non-clinical and clinical testing conducted to support this submission confirm that Saige-Density is safe and effective. The minor differences, including technological differences, between Saige-Density and the predicate do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Therefore, the information presented in this 510(k) submission demonstrates that Saige-Density is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
