Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.8)
“MammoScreen is a software-only device.”
source quote (p.8)
“The system includes ‘deep learning' modules for the detection of suspicious calcifications and soft tissue lesions. These modules are trained with very large databases of biopsy-proven examples of breast cancer and normal tissue.”
source quote (p.10)
“MammoScreen is powered by machine-learning neural architecture. Therapixel will make future algorithm improvements under a PCCP. The plan describes future modifications and assesses their impact, and a modification protocol details how data management, re-training, performance evaluation and update procedures will be handled.”
Validation studies (2)
Retrospective clinical
n=1,475 patients
endpoints: Non-inferiority in standalone cancer detection performance compared to the previous version of MammoScreen

Postmarket — what happened after clearance
- re_clearance
The FDA AI/ML device list shows a newer 510(k) K243685 (decision 2025-08-22) from Therapixel for a matching device line ("MammoScreen BD") — a new clearance for the same line is a change event.

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device). Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.
