Chapt er 1Introduction
The Selenia®, based on the M-IVTM Mammography X-ray System, uses an Image
Acquisition system that includes a digital image receptor. This receptor, which covers an
area of 24 cm x 29 cm, is a direct-capture detector using an amorphous selenium
photoconductor. At the Acquisition Workstation the user selects x-ray exposure technique
factors, adds patient identification data, acquires, processes, and displays the digital
images. The images are then either processed for printing and transmitted to peripheral
hard copy laser film printer or sent to a diagnostic review workstation or both. Contrast
and brightness are set automatically and can be adjusted by the user prior to printing or
viewing. Hard-copy printers and a diagnostic review workstation are available as options.
The patient is prepared for the procedure in the same manner as for a film-based system.
The Acquisition Workstation provides direct digital acquisition system advantages in
system efficiency and productivity including:
• Patient demographics are associated with the electronic image.
• Technologist comments can be associated with the image.
• The technologist is assisted through the steps of image acquisition.
• Possible image destinations are provided via configurable settings.
• The technologist may review past acquisitions (including priors) to see previous
captures, and then resend and/or remark them.
1.1 Intended Uses
United States federal law restricts this device to use by, or on the order of, a physician.
The Selenia is intended to produce radiographic images of the breast. Its intended use is
for the production, storage, and diagnostic review of digital screening, diagnostic, and
needle localization mammography.
The system is to be used in a radiology or clinic exam room environment in a hospital,
outpatient clinic, or a breast imaging center. Mammography technologists operate the
system for the production and storage of digital mammograms. The system may also be
used for quality control purposes and other clinical or research related activities by
medical physicists and radiologists certified in accordance with MQSA standards.
• The Selenia Acquisition Workstation display is not approved for final interpretation
of examinations. Final interpretations should be done from either films or with the
diagnostic review workstation. Images shown on the Acquisition Workstation display
are for quality assurance or confirmation purposes only.
• Only images produced by recommended laser printers, or an approved diagnostic
review workstation, should be used for final interpretation of examinations. For
compatible printers, see the latest product data sheets for the system, which can be
obtained from Hologic® or your sales representative.

1.1.1 Indications For Use
The Selenia Full Field Digital Mammography System generates digital mammographic
images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The Selenia Full
Field Digital Mammography System is intended for use in the same clinical applications
as traditional screen-film mammographic systems. Mammographic images can be
interpreted on either hard copy film or the diagnostic review workstation.
1.1.2 Contraindications
There are no known contraindications.
1.1.3 Potential Adverse Effects
The following is a list of potential adverse effects that apply to mammography and are
also applicable to digital mammography using the Selenia.
• Excessive breast compression
• Excessive x-ray exposure
• Electric shock
• Infection
• Skin irritation, abrasions, or puncture wounds
1.2 Intended Use for the User Guide
Always refer to the User Guide for instructions on using the system.
1.3 Summary of Clinical Studies
This information is available in the document MAN-02233.
1.4 Product Complaints
Report any complaints or problem in the quality, reliability, safety, or performance of this
product to Hologic. If the device has caused or added to patient injury, immediately
report the incident to Hologic. (See the title page for contact information.)
1.5 Technical Support

1.6 Hologic Cybersecurity Statement
Hologic continuously tests the current state of computer and network security to examine
possible security problems. When necessary, Hologic provides the updates to the product.
For Cybersecurity Best Practices documents for Hologic products, refer to the Hologic
Internet site.
1.7 Quality Control Requirements
The facilities in the United States must use the Quality Control Manual to create a Quality
Assurance and Quality Control program. The facility must create the program to meet the
requirements of the Mammography Quality Standards Act or to be accredited by ACR or
another accreditation body.
The facilities outside the United States can use the Quality Control Manual as a guide to
create a program to meet the local standards and regulations.
1.8 Installation Instructions
Installation instructions are available in the Service Manual.

Acquisition Workstation is also an individual series.
