The NoTouch BreastScan™ system is intended for viewing and recording heat patterns generated by the human body in the hospital, acute care settings, outpatient surgery, healthcare practitioner facilities or an environment where patient care is provided by qualified healthcare personnel. The patient include adult. The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for the detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion of tissue or organs. This device is intended for use by a qualified healthcare professional trained in its use. ## Device Story NoTouch BreastScan is a telethermographic system; captures infrared heat patterns from human body surface. Hardware includes two digital infrared cameras, computer system with printer, air conditioner unit, and mobile cart. Operated by qualified healthcare professionals in hospitals, acute care, or outpatient facilities. System records and displays thermal images; used as adjunctive screening for breast cancer and blood perfusion-related diseases. Healthcare providers interpret heat patterns to assist in clinical decision-making; provides non-invasive physiological data to support diagnostic processes. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Verification and validation were performed on all software and hardware subsystems, confirming the device functioned as intended. ## Technological Characteristics Telethermographic system (21 CFR 884.2980). Components: two digital infrared cameras, computer system, printer, air conditioner unit, mobile cart. Software-based image acquisition and processing. ## Regulatory Identification A telethermographic system for adjunctive diagnostic screening for detection of breast cancer or other uses is an electrically powered device with a detector that is intended to measure, without touching the patient's skin, the self-emanating infrared radiation that reveals the temperature variations of the surface of the body. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories. ## Predicate Devices - BREASTSCAN IR ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Predicate Devices BREASTSCAN IR #### Intended Use / Indications for Use The NoTouch BreastScan system is intended to be used as an adjunctive screening device for the detection of breast cancer by measuring various temperature parameters from the surface of the breast. The NoTouch BreastScan™ system is intended for viewing and recording heat patterns generated by the human body in the hospital, acute care settings, outpatient surgery, healthcare practitioner facilities or an environment where patient care is provided by qualified healthcare personnel. The patient include adult. The device is for adjunctive diagnostic screening for the detection of breast cancer and diseases affecting blood perfusion of tissue or organs. This device is intended for use by a qualified healthcare professional trained in its use. ### Technological Characteristics The NoTouch BreastScan consists of a group of hardware components. The hardware components consist of: - Two digital infrared cameras - . A computer system, with printer - . An air conditioner unit - . A specially designed mobile cart. {1}------------------------------------------------ Software Components include: - . NoTouch BreastScan Software - . PDF Viewer - . Drivers for Infrared imagers - . ThermaCam Researcher Software ## Performance Data Testing of NoTouch BreastScan was performed as per the requirements. In all instances, the NoTouch BreastScan functioned as intended and the software and hardware performed as expected. Complete validation and verification was performed on all software and hardware subsystems. ### Substantial Equivalence The NoTouch BreastScan is as safe and effective as BreastScan IR. The NoTouch BreastScan has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the NoTouch BreastScan and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the NoTouch BreastScan is as safe and effective as BreastScan IR. Thus, the NoTouch BreastScan is substantially equivalent. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of {3}------------------------------------------------ medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
