The Mammotome elite® Biopsy System is indicated to obtain tissue samples from the breast or axillary lymph nodes for diagnostic analysis of breast abnormalities.
• The Mammotome elite® Biopsy System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality.
· The Mammotome elite® Biopsy System is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial removal of a palpable abnormality.
The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be readily determined from the palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality, e.g., malignancy. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
In instances when a patient presents with a palpable abnormality that has been classified as benign through clinical and/or radiological criteria (e.g., fibroadenoma, fibrocystic lesion), the Mammotome elite® Biopsy System may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. Whenever breast tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care. When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.
The Mammotome elite® Biopsy System consists of a reusable Holster (MEH1) and a single-patient use, sterile Probe (MEP10 and MEP13) that is used with ultrasound imaging guidance to excise and collect diagnostic samples with a single insertion of the Probe. Introducer Stylets (MEI10 and MEI13) are also available as optional accessories that can be used with the Mammotome elite® Biopsy System. The components of the System are designed to operate safely when used together for diagnostic sampling of tissue during a biopsy procedure.
The Holster is a self-contained, handheld, reusable electro-mechanical vacuum-assisted biopsy device that consists of a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery and includes a charging base with AC power adapter. The Probe consists of an outer trocar shaft, a telescoping inner hollow coaxial cutter and an integrated coaxial cannula. The Probe incorporates a distal needle aperture and a proximal specimen collection cup with a tissue sample basket and specimen collection cap. The Holster contains one alignment tab that inserts into the holster notch located on the body of the Probe. The Probe body also contains two locking tabs to secure the Probe into the Holster. The Holster creates vacuum inside the device to assist in pulling tissue into the aperture while the sharpened inner cutter rotates at high speeds and extends across the aperture to acquire targeted tissue. The tissue sample is transported by vacuum to the specimen collection cup at the proximal end of the Probe. The integrated coaxial cannula may be detached either after the biopsy and remain in the breast to retain a track to the biopsy site when placing a biopsy site identifier or prior to the procedure when used in conjunction with the Introducer Stylet. The Introducer Stylet/integrated coaxial cannula combination is an option that is available for those physicians who are trained in percutaneous needle techniques for tissue collection.
The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the Mammotome elite® Biopsy System details its performance testing. However, it does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for many of the tests, nor does it provide detailed quantitative results for the device performance against those criteria. Instead, it generally states that the device is "comparable to the predicate," or "complies with" certain standards.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document explicitly mentions "In these studies, acquisition of tissue samples from a single insertion site was evaluated..." but does not provide specific numerical sample sizes for the animal testing. It also does not provide details on the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). It only states an "in vivo porcine animal model was used."
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document does not provide information on the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth, particularly for the histological assessment of sample quality. It states, "When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures" and "Whenever breast tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care," implying histological assessment is handled by standard professional practice, but not specifying details for this particular study.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
The document does not describe any specific adjudication method for the test set.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done, nor does the device involve AI. The device is a biopsy system and the testing involved evaluating its physical performance (e.g., tissue acquisition, transport, quality) compared to a predicate device, not diagnostic effectiveness with human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The device is a physical biopsy system, not a software algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm-only performance study is not applicable and was not conducted.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the tissue sample quality evaluation in animal testing, the ground truth was histological assessment (implied by "optimal histological assessment"). For other performance aspects like sample weight and transport efficiency, the "ground truth" was direct measurement and comparison to the predicate device's measured performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
No training set is mentioned or applicable as this is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable as there is no training set for this physical device.

- Data Provenance: Not specified in terms of country of origin. The study involved both "ex vivo and in vivo models," suggesting a mix of laboratory (ex vivo) and potentially live subject (in vivo) testing. The document does not specify if the in vivo study involved human subjects or animal models. It does not indicate whether the data was retrospective or prospective.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not provided in the document. The study focuses on comparing the device's ability to collect tissue samples against predicate devices, not on diagnostic accuracy requiring expert ground truth establishment for a test set.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This information is not provided in the document. The study design, as described, does not appear to involve a diagnostic accuracy assessment that would necessitate an adjudication method for a test set.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a biopsy instrument, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so such a study is not applicable.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was not done. This device is a manual-use biopsy instrument with integrated software (firmware) for mechanical control, not a standalone diagnostic algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The ground truth for the performance testing was based on the physical characteristics of the obtained tissue samples (weight, transport reliability, and quality) as compared to samples obtained using predicate devices. This implies an objective assessment of the tissue samples themselves, likely through established laboratory methods, rather than clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy requiring a ground truth like pathology for specific lesions.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable/not provided. The device is a mechanical biopsy system with embedded firmware, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the conventional AI sense. The software's function is to control the mechanical actions of the device, not to learn from data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable/not provided. As mentioned above, the device does not involve a machine learning training set.
