1 Braster in-home breast examination system

2 Braster System 1. Contact thermography solution Braster detects the thermal changes associated with the development of breast cancer-vascularisation of tumours and their faster metabolism. 2. Safety The device does not emit ionizing radiation and the examination is painless. 3. Test standardisation Intuitive application makes it easy for women to perform the examination every month. Breast cancer is the leading cancer killer among women worldwide Breast Lung Colorectum Cervix uteri Stomach Cancer incidence among women in Ireland Source: GLOBOCAN 2012: Estimated Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Prevalence Worldwide in Validation of algorithms for evaluating thermographic images We use artificial intelligence algorithms to interpret the thermographic images produced during the examination. As part of quality control, the results of the study are verified by medical experts. 5. Efficiency confirmed by observational studies More and more young women get breast cancer Compared to older women, young women generally face more aggressive cancers and lower survival rates 1,2). The incidence of metastatic breast cancer at the time of initial diagnosis is apparently rising in women under the age of 40 3). 1) Carey K.

SEER Cancer Statistics Review, Braster System s position in breast cancer detection 96% This is the level to which the sensitivity increased when the mammography was combined with contact thermography. Braster detects breast cancer in its early stages of development cancers all > 2 cm < 2 cm detected in TMG confirmed % % HP detected not detected % 82% 81% 19% 18% 19% The Braster examination is an excellent complement to other diagnostic methods currently used in clinical practice. Thanks to having it at home, the patient can monitor the health of her breast from month to month and consult the doctor as soon as the system detects a disturbing change. It is your doctor who will decide on further diagnostic methods.

4 The Braster detects vascular changes, that are strongly correlated with malignant tumours Types of breast changes observed in contact thermography: Ductal carcinomas Papillary lesions Lobular carcinomas Inflammatory changes Others, e.g.: mucosal lesions, adeno-cystic carcinomas and heavily vascularized fibroadenomas, post-inflammatory cysts with vascularized sheath, breast inflammation. Benefits of using Braster Comprehensive care for the patient allowing the woman to self-examine her breasts between checkups at the doctor. Increase in oncological awareness of patients - according to the instructions of the doctor and based on the latest technology the woman takes care of the health of her breasts and appreciates the benefits of regular prevention. Opportunity for early detection of breast cancer The Braster System provides regularity, which is the best way to diagnose a disease quickly. It should be remembered that early detection of breast cancer means nearly 100% chance of survival within 5 years.* A safe, reliable and standardized solution that allows a woman to self-examine her breasts. Who is braster for? The Braster System is for all women who take care of their breast health. It is especially recommended for women: * Source: Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, et al. (ed.)

Under the age of 50, not covered by the breast cancer prevention program, Using oral hormonal contraceptives for a long period of time, Genetically loaded, With diagnosed BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Braster is not for women: Pregnant or breastfeeding After surgery performed in the breast area (up to 12 months), During and after oncological treatment due to breast cancer.
