Indications for Use
Transpara software is intended for use as a concurrent reading aid for physicians interpreting screening full-field digital mammography exams and digital breast tomosynthesis exams from compatible FFDM and DBT systems, to identify regions suspicious for breast cancer and assess their likelihood of malignancy. Output of the device includes locations of calcifications groups and soft-tissue regions, with scores indicating the likelihood that cancer is present, and an exam score indicating the likelihood that cancer is present in the exam. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by Transpara.
Device Story
Software-only application; processes DICOM FFDM and DBT images; utilizes deep learning algorithms to detect suspicious calcifications and soft-tissue lesions (masses, architectural distortions, asymmetries). Operates in healthcare facilities; used by physicians as a concurrent reading aid. Input: mammograms; Output: highlighted suspicious regions with 1-100 scores, exam-level risk scores (1-10 or low/intermediate/elevated), and links between corresponding views. Temporal analysis feature compares current DBT/FFDM exams with prior studies. Enhances detection and characterization of abnormalities; assists clinical decision-making; does not replace physician review.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated on 10,207 exams (FFDM/DBT) from multiple manufacturers. Primary endpoints: sensitivity and AUC. FFDM AUC 0.960; DBT AUC 0.955. Temporal analysis testing on 4,607 exams showed improved AUC and sensitivity for elevated risk categories compared to non-temporal analysis. Sub-group analyses (ethnicity, age, lesion size, density) showed no performance deviations.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only; deep learning-based CAD/CADx. DICOM-based input/output. Compatible with Hologic, GE, Philips, Siemens, and Fujifilm systems. Standards: IEC 62366-1, ISO 20417, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, IEC 82304-1, ISO 15223-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult women (22+ years) undergoing screening full-field digital mammography (FFDM) or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Used as a concurrent reading aid for physicians to identify suspicious breast cancer regions and assess malignancy likelihood. Not for sole patient management decisions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A radiological computer-assisted detection and diagnostic software is an image processing device intended to aid in the detection, localization, and characterization of fracture, lesions, or other disease-specific findings on acquired medical images (e.g., radiography, magnetic resonance, computed tomography). The device detects, identifies, and characterizes findings based on features or information extracted from images, and provides information about the presence, location, and characteristics of the findings to the user. The analysis is intended to inform the primary diagnostic and patient management decisions that are made by the clinical user. The device is not intended as a replacement for a complete clinician's review or their clinical judgment that takes into account other relevant information from the image or patient history.

## 4. Device description
Transpara is a software only application designed to be used by physicians to improve interpretation of full-field digital mammography (FFMD) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Deep learning algorithms are applied to images for recognition of suspicious calcifications and soft tissue lesions (including densities, masses, architectural distortions, and asymmetries). Algorithms are trained with a large database of biopsy-proven examples of breast cancer, benign abnormalities, and examples of normal tissue.
Transpara offers the following functions which may be used at any time in the reading process, to improve detection and characterization of abnormalities and enhance workflow:
- AI findings for display in the images to highlight locations where the device detects suspicious calcifications or soft tissue lesions, along with region scores per finding on a scale ranging from 1-100, with higher scores indicating a higher level of suspicion.

K260898
- Links between corresponding regions in different views of the breast, which may be utilized to enhance user interfaces and workflow.
- An exam-based score which categorizes exams with increasing likelihood of cancer on a scale of 1-10 or in three risk categories labeled as 'low', 'intermediate' or 'elevated'.
The concurrent use indication implies that it is up to the users to decide how to use Transpara in the reading process. Transpara functions can be used before, during or after visual interpretation of an exam by a user.
Results of Transpara are computed in a standalone processing appliance which accepts mammograms in DICOM format as input, processes them, and sends the processing output to a destination using the DICOM protocol in a standardized mammography CAD DICOM format. Common destinations are medical workstations, PACS and RIS. The system can be configured using a service interface. Implementation of a user interface for end users in a medical workstation is to be provided by third parties.
## 5. Indications for use
Transpara is a software medical device for use in a healthcare facility or hospital with the following indications for use:
Transpara software is intended for use as a concurrent reading aid for physicians interpreting screening full-field digital mammography exams and digital breast tomosynthesis exams from compatible FFDM and DBT systems, to identify regions suspicious for breast cancer and assess their likelihood of malignancy. Output of the device includes locations of calcifications groups and soft-tissue regions, with scores indicating the likelihood that cancer is present, and an exam score indicating the likelihood that cancer is present in the exam. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by Transpara.
Intended user population
Intended users of Transpara are physicians qualified to read screening mammography exams and digital breast tomosynthesis exams.

### Warnings and precautions
Transpara is an adjunct tool and not intended to replace a physicians’ own review of a mammogram. Decisions should not be made solely based on analysis by Transpara.
## 6. Predicate device comparison
The indication for use of Transpara 2.1.0 is similar to that of the predicate device. Both devices are intended for concurrent use by physicians interpreting breast images to help them with localizing and characterizing abnormalities. The devices are not intended as a replacement for the review of a physician or their clinical judgement.
The modification consists of adding compatibility for the temporal analysis feature for DBT examinations acquired on GE systems with prior GE examinations, where the prior may include DBT, DBT + SM, or FFDM. Changes do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.

### Non-clinical performance tests
Verification testing was conducted, which consisted of software unit testing, software integration testing and software system testing. The verification tests showed that the software application satisfied the software requirements.
Standalone performance tests were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence with the predicate device. For these tests an independent dataset was used, which was acquired from multiple centers and had not been used for development of the algorithms. This testset contained FFDM and DBT mammograms acquired with devices from different manufacturers (FFDM: Hologic, GE, Philips, Siemens, and Fujifilm, DBT: Hologic, Siemens, GE and Fujifilm), representative for breast imaging practices performing screening and diagnostic assessment, collected from multiple clinical centers in seven EU countries and the US. For the inclusion of the normal exams in the test set the majority of exams had a normal follow-up of at least one year.

Exam based sensitivity for cancer detection in the testset was computed by taking the fraction of cancers that were correctly localized in at least one view (MLO or CC). False positive rates were computed in exams without cancer, by dividing the number of regions detected per image by the number of images. The results are demonstrated in the table below.

Additional performance testing for Transpara cancer detection consisted of the sets described in table 3. For each sub-analysis the AUC as well as the sensitivities at the most important operating points (70% specificity, 80% specificity, 97% specificity) was compared. The goal of these sub-analysis was to ensure that Transpara does not show any deviations in specific sub-groups.

## 8. Conclusions
The data presented in this 510(k) includes all required information to support the review by FDA. Standalone performance tests with FFDM and DBT demonstrate that Transpara 2.1.0 achieves non-inferior and superior detection performance compared to the predicate device.
ScreenPoint has applied a risk management process in accordance with FDA recognized standards to identify, evaluate, and mitigate all known hazards related to Transpara 2.1.0. These hazards may occur when accuracy of diagnosis is potentially affected, causing either false-positives or false-negatives. All identified risks are effectively mitigated and it can be concluded that the residual risk is outweighed by the benefits.
As described above, the subject device, Transpara 2.1.0, and the predicate device have the same intended use. While there are differences in technological characteristics, these differences were evaluated with performance testing as described and the technological differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the results of the testing demonstrate that the subject device, Transpara 2.1.0, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
