Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.3)
“Volpara Imaging Software is a software application intended for use with the raw data from digital breast x-ray systems, including tomosynthesis.”
AlgorithmAnalyzes raw digital mammograms or raw DBT projections in a fully automated, volumetric fashion to produce a quantitative assessment of breast composition in the form of a Volpara density map, wherein the value at each pixel represents the thickness of fibroglandular tissue between that pixel and the x-ray source.
source quote (p.7)
“Volpara Imaging Software 3.2 analyzes raw ("For Processing") digital mammograms or raw DBT projections in a fully automated, volumetric fashion. It produces a quantitative assessment of breast composition in the form of a Volpara density map, wherein the value at each pixel represents the thickness of fibroglandular tissue between that pixel and the x-ray source.”

  • …and 25 more.

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-09-02.

Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid

Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Radiology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
