The device is a tool-positioning system that guides a biopsy tool for obtaining tissue samples and is not intended to treat a disease or condition.
No.
The primary purpose of this device is to guide a biopsy tool to a target location in the breast, not to diagnose a condition. It assists in obtaining a biopsy specimen, which would then be diagnosed by other means.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components (Workstation, Patient Support, Manipulator, Pendant, Control Cart) and describes physical interactions with the patient and biopsy tools, indicating it is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the IGAR System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done in vitro (outside the body).
- IGAR System Function: The IGAR System is a tool-positioning system used during a medical procedure (MR-guided breast biopsy). It helps guide a biopsy tool to a target location within the patient's body. It does not perform any testing or analysis of a specimen in vitro.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for acquiring MR images and guiding a biopsy tool for obtaining a biopsy. It's a procedural guidance system, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
Therefore, the IGAR System falls under the category of a medical device used for a procedure, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The IGAR System is intended to acquire magnetic resonance (MR) images of the breast anatomy and permits access to the breast for biopsy and localization procedures. A front breast restraint immobilizes the patient's breast to permit three-dimensional MR imaging to identify the location of the breast lesion(s) for the purposes of selecting a target for biopsy. The IGAR System guides a breast biopsy tool to the target location of the breast from which a biopsy can be obtained. The IGAR System is intended to be used by qualified professionals.

Device Description
The IGAR System is a tool-positioning system for enabling accurate MR-quided breast biopsies. The IGAR System is designed to provide biopsy tool guidance and accurate targeting of lesions in the breast while the patient is in the MRI room– this creates the ability to "see and evaluate" within a single session.
The system consists of the following components:
- Workstation: Imports DICOM-formatted MR images from the MR scanner or a PACS server, from which the clinician can select its biopsy target and plan the needle path to this target.
- Patient Support: Positions the patient prone on the MR gantry, ready for the biopsy. ●
- Manipulator: The Manipulator positions tools for interaction with the patient to perform the biopsy; the Manipulator attaches to the IGAR Patient Support.
- Pendant: Allows the user to control tool movements. ●
- Control Cart: Provides signals and electrical power to the Manipulator, and coordinates information
The IGAR System integrates with an FDA-cleared MRI system from GE, 3 Tesla (3T) GE Discovery™ MR750 - 60cm (Bore size).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical Data was not required for this submission.
Non-Clinical Testing:
- Software Verification & Validation: The IGAR System containing a moderate level of concern software was subjected to a design and development process including verification and validation. Software test results demonstrated 1) Software design outputs met the design input requirements and 2) software specifications conform to user needs and intended uses, and that requiremented through software can be consistently fulfilled.
- Functional Bench Testing: IGAR System functional bench testing included electronics, mechanical, packaging, and labelling verification activities. Functional testing included verification that when interfaced with the GE 3T MRI, the IGAR does not adversely affect MRI diagnostic image quality following NEMA (MS1, MS2, MS3) and ASTM (F2052, F2213, F2182) test methods. Verification test results demonstrate acceptance criteria were met, and design outputs met the design input requirements.
- Phantom Accuracy Testing: Verification of the IGAR System's end-to-end needle placement was performed in a representative clinical setting using a simulated tissue phantom and a 3T GE MRI. Predefined acceptance criteria for targeting accuracy were met. Test methods outlined in IEC 60601-2-45 (Medical Electrical Equipment - Safety of Mammographic X-ray Equipment and Mammographic Stereotactic Devices) were followed, with modifications for the MRI environment, to demonstrate the subject device meets its targeting accuracy specification.
- Biocompatibility: Biocompatibility testing was conducted on patient contact materials according to ISO 10993-1.
- Human Factors: Usability and human factors evaluation was performed per IEC 60601-1-6 (Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-6: General Requirements For Basic Safety And Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Usability) and FDA Guidance on Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices. The evaluation was successful in demonstrating the IGAR System is reasonably usable and can be used without use errors or problems that could result in serious harm.

Non-clinical test results were analyzed to demonstrate substantially equivalent performance. All bench testing was performed under conditions that approximate the IGAR System's intended use: where necessary, simulated breast tissue phantoms were used; all testing requiring the MRI was conducted with a compatible 3T GE MRI.
All required bench testing activities have been completed for the IGAR System and it has been determined that it meets its functional and performance requirements. Results demonstrate that the IGAR system is substantially equivalent to the Vanguard Breast MRI System (K100113).
Comparison of Intended Use, Indications for Use and Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
Indications for Use Comparison:
Both the subject and predicate devices (Vanguard Breast, K100113) are intended to enable imaqing and access to the breast for obtaining breast biopsies.
Both devices are indicated for use in female patients over the age of 18 with suspected or confirmed breast cancer requiring an MRI- guided breast biopsy for diagnosis and or staging. The intended users are Radiologists and MR Technologists trained in the conduct of MRIquided biopsy procedures. Both devices are used in the MRI suite.
Therefore, IGAR System has the same intended use as the predicate device.
The indications for use of the IGAR System are a subset of the indications of use of the predicate device.
Both the predicate and subject devices are intended for MRI imaging of breast anatomy and permit access for biopsy and localization procedures. While the Vanguard Breast MRI System is indicated for both lesion localization and diagnostic imaging, the IGAR System is indicated for use in acquiring images only for lesion localization purposes. The IGAR system is not indicated to perform diagnostic imaging.
This subset of indications for use does not result in a new or different intended use than the predicate device and the intended use is therefore the same.
Technological Comparison:
The key difference between the subject and predicate device is that the IGAR system allows motorized percutaneous placement of devices for biopsy while the predicate biopsy guidance is performed manually based on a biopsy grid. Both systems enable the physician to position a biopsy device into the breast based on MR image guidance. Each system requires the user to determine the lesion location from MR image and determine the route by which the biopsy device reaches the location. The motorized nature of the IGAR System is similar to the Affirm Prone Biopsy System reference device (K153486).
7
All three systems, the subject, predicate, and reference devices, enable the physician to position a biopsy device into the breast based on image guidance. Each system requires the user to determine the lesion location and determine the route by which the biopsy device reaches the location.
Conclusion
The IGAR System has the same intended use, and differences in technological characteristics do not raise any questions of safety or efficacy. Performance demonstrates the equivalence and therefor the IGAR System is substantially equivalent to Vanguard Breast (K100113).
