No
The description details a conventional film-screen x-ray mammography device with standard components like an x-ray generator, tube, gantry, and compression device. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing beyond basic generation, or any data-driven algorithms for analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is described as an X-ray imaging device for diagnostic purposes (mammography and stereotactic needle biopsy) and does not provide therapeutic treatment.
Yes
The device is described as an "x-ray mammographic device" and its intended use is to "provide film-screen X-ray imaging of the breast and other soft-tissue organs" which are used for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as an x-ray generator, x-ray tube, gantry, compression device, and film holder, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Giotto HT is an X-ray imaging device. It generates images of the breast and other soft tissues using X-rays. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide film-screen X-ray imaging and facilitate stereotactic needle biopsy, which are procedures performed directly on the patient, not on in vitro samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Giotto HT is a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Giotto HT is a conventional film-screen x-ray mammographic device. This device is designed to generate a high resolution image of the breast on film using an x-ray source designed specifically for mammography. It incorporates a state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled high frequency single phase x-ray generator and automatic exposure control, molybdenum rotating anode x-ray tube with 0.3 and 0.1 mm focal spots, gantry, compression device and film holder. The unique open design of the Giotto HT allows positioning of the patient with the operator facing the patient. This face-to-face positioning allows the operator to carefully center the breast and compress it quickly and efficiently. Optional accessories allow both prone and seated breast needle biopsy.

3.1. Function
The Giotto HT is a conventional film-screen x-ray mammographic device. This device is designed to generate a high resolution image of the breast on film using an x-ray source designed specifically for mammography. It incorporates a state-of-the-art microprocessor controlled high frequency single phase x-ray generator and automatic exposure control, molybdenum rotating anode x-ray tube with 0.3 and 0.1 mm focal spots, gantry, compression device and film holder.

Optional accessories allow both prone and seated breast needle biopsy.
3.2. Scientific Concepts:
X-ray imaging began in the late nineteenth century with the discovery of x-rays by William Conrad Roentgen. X-ray imaging of the human anatomy, including the breast, began immediately after this discovery. The danger of x-ray exposure, tissue damage caused by the ionizing radiation, was quickly recognized and today is known to be a major limitation of x-ray imaging. It was not until the 1980's that the unique requirements of x-ray mammography for the detection of non-palpable lesions were realized, resulting in the development of specialized x-ray mammographic units. These devices incorporate special x-ray tubes and low ripple x-ray generators producing much lower energy x-rays than conventional x-ray systems. These low energy x-rays allow penetration of the breast tissue while at the same time producing sufficient contrast on the film to detect non-palpable breast lesions. Film screen systems for mammography have been optimized to produce the high resolution images required by mammography while at the same time minimizing dose to the patient.
3.3. Physical And Performance Characteristics:
Mammography has been demonstrated to be the best imaging choice for screening of women for breast cancer by many studies and is currently recommended as a routine procedure for women over 50 vears of age.
The FDA has introduced the MQSA program to ensure consistent quality among mammography providers. The MQSA has adopted the accreditation program administered by the American College of Radiology (ACR). This program sets forth requirements for mammography equipment including image resolution, contrast resolution, dose, kV accuracy, etc. The Giotto HT has been designed to meet or exceed all the ACR requirements.
Device Intended Use: 4.
- The intended uses of the Giotto HT are identical to the intended 4.1. uses of the Giotto HF predicate device (Premarket notification K901558)..

Device Technological Characteristics: 5.
- The characteristics of the Giotto HT system compare substantially 5.1. with the Giotto HF, in both materials used, technology applied, and functional methodology. Differences of note do not affect safety and effectiveness of the device, intended use, or application methods. The device operates in a manner substantially equivalent to other cleared devices in this category, and performs as well as the predicate Giotto HF.
5.2. Biocompatibility
The components of the Giotto HT that come in direct contact with the patient (paddles, supports, holders, Bucky) are of the same materials as the the Giotto HF predicate device (Premarket notification K901558)
