K081092 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MODIFICATION TO MAMMAPRINT. Classified as Classifier, Prognostic, Recurrence Risk Assessment, Rna Gene Expression, Breast Cancer (product code NYI), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Agendia (Amsterdam, NL). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on December 11, 2009 after a review of 603 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Pathology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 866.6040 - the FDA pathology device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Pathology submissions.

Device Classification

Product Code NYI Classifier, Prognostic, Recurrence Risk Assessment, Rna Gene Expression, Breast Cancer
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 866.6040
Definition A Device Which Uses A Gene Expression Profile Of A Breast Cancer Tumor, From Patients Stage I Or Stage Ii Lymph Node Negative, With A Tumor Size Of <5.0 Cm, To Provide A Risk Assessment For Distant Recurrence Of Breast Cancer. The Result Is Indicated For Use Only As A Prognostic Marker By Physicians Along With A Number Of Other Factors To Assess The Risk Of Recurrence Of Breast Cancer.
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Pathology devices follow this clearance model.
