Box 414, Milwaukee, WI 53201 # 510(K) SUMMARY Ko12875 This 510(k) summary of safety and effectiveness information is submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR Part 807.92(c). | Submitter: | GE Medical Systems<br>PO Box 414<br>Milwaukee, WI 53201 | |-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------| | Contact Person: | Larry A. Kroger Ph.D.<br>Manager, Regulatory Programs | | Telephone: | 262-544-3894 | | Fax: | 262-544-3863 | | Date Prepared: | August 23, 2001 | #### Device Name: GE Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic System, 21 CFR 892.1000, 90-LNH #### Marketed Device: The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed The organ of Magnetic Resonance System (K992746) with the main differences being an increase in gradient strength from 15mT/m, and an increase in slew rate from SR25 to SR40. In addition, Diffusion imaging is now offered as an imaging option. #### Device Description: The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is a modification to the Signa HFO/i Magnetic Resonance System (K992746) which utilizes a superconducting magnet to acquire 2D single-slice and multi-slice, and 3D volume images. The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is an open style magnet operating at 0.7T. The system can image in the sagittal, coronal, axial, oblique and double oblique planes, using various pulse sequences. Images are acquired and reconstructed using 2D and 3D Fourier transformation techniques. The system is intended for high resolution anatomical applications and shorter scan times. Previously cleared software options, coils, and other accessories may be used with the Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System. #### Indications for Use: The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is an open, whole body scanner designed to support improved higher resolution imaging and shorter scan times. The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to, the musculocskeletal, vascular, cardiac, and neuro systems. The images produced by the Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spinlattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2) and flow.

The logo appears to be a vintage or retro design, possibly representing a company or brand. The design consists of intertwined or overlapping elements within the circle, creating a visually complex and abstract pattern. The logo is black and white, with the design elements appearing in black against a white background. Page 2 of 2 General Electric Company P.O. Box 414, Milwaukee, WI 53201 physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. Due to the 'open' design of the system, the Signa OpenSpeed may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as, in-room display and MR safe biopsy needles. #### Comparison with Predicate Device: The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is a modification of the Signa HFP/i MR system (K992746) with the main differences being an increase in gradient strength from 15mT/m, (1892140) with the main differences oong an more and and the maging is now offered as an imaging option. #### Summary of Studies: The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System was evaluated to the appropriate NEMA The Signa Openspece Magnetic Robertanoon J. International Medical Equipment Safety standard and performance buildiana as as "quirements for Safety of Magnetic Resonance Equipment for Medical IEC 001-2-53 I articular Nequilions for SReey of MSS. Somparable to the currently marketed Signa HFO/i Magnetic Resonance System. #### Conclusion: It is the opinion of GE that the Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System is substantially equivalent it is the Signa HFO/i Magnetic Resonance System. The Signa OpenSpeed Magnetic Resonance System to the bight III Ori Haghetions for use, nor does use of this device result in any new potential hazards. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States.
