Device Description

The OPART™ /Ultra system is added into existing OAPRT™ series by incorporating the high performance gradient system. The OPART™ /Ultra system and the OPART™ system with Ultra gradient upgrade kit offers the modified sequences for the faster acquisition than existing OPART™ systems.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device Accessory, the OPART™/Ultra, and its upgrade kit. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and a study report as would be found for a novel device. Therefore, much of the requested information, particularly regarding specific performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment, is not present in the provided text.

However, I can extract and present the information that is available.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document does not explicitly present "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative format for imaging performance. Instead, it compares safety parameters of the new device (OPART™/Ultra) against its predicate (OPART™) and other substantially equivalent devices. The "performance" here refers to physical and operational characteristics rather than diagnostic accuracy.

ParameterOPART™ (Predicate, K993574)OPART™/Ultra (Reported Performance)
Static field strength0.35 T0.35 T (Same)
Peak acoustic noise108 dB115.4 dB
A-weighted acoustic noise98.4 dB(A)102.5 dB(A)
Operational modesNormal operating modeNormal operating mode (Same)
Safety parameter displaySARSAR (Same)
Operating mode access requirementsNot applicable (only normal operating mode)Not applicable (Same)
Maximum SAR< 1.5 W/kg< 1.5 W/kg (Same)
Maximum dB/dt19 T/sec51 T/sec
Gradient coil dimensions1050 x 1175 x 51 mm1050 x 1175 x 50 mm
Potential emergency conditionsShut down by Emergency Ramp Down Unit for collision hazard by ferromagnetic objectsSame
Biocompatibility of materialsNot applicableNot applicable (Same)

A note on "acceptance criteria": For a 510(k) submission like this, the "acceptance criteria" for safety parameters are often implicitly that the new device's performance remains within acceptable safety limits, or that any changes do not adversely affect safety and are appropriately documented. The increases in acoustic noise (115.4 dB Peak, 102.5 dB A-weighted) and maximum dB/dt (51 T/sec) for the OPART™/Ultra are noted, and the document states that TOSHIBA performed "dB/dt and acoustic noise verifications," implying these increases were evaluated for safety and deemed acceptable for the intended use. The core "acceptance criterion" for the overall device is substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not describe a "test set" in the context of diagnostic performance evaluation with patient data. The evaluations mentioned are primarily engineering-based verifications of physical parameters and comparisons to predicate device specifications. There is no mention of patient data being used for device performance testing in this document.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. As no diagnostic performance study utilizing patient data and ground truth is described, there's no mention of experts or their qualifications.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as no diagnostic performance study is described.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This is a submission for an MRI system and its upgrade, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. No MRMC study or AI assistance is mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This document is about a hardware and software upgrade for an MRI system, not a standalone algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable, as no diagnostic performance study requiring ground truth is described. The "ground truth" for the engineering parameters would be the actual measured values of the physical characteristics (e.g., static field strength, acoustic noise, SAR, dB/dt).

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set. The software changes are related to system control, improved user interface, and new or modified acquisition sequences.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as no training set for a machine learning algorithm is discussed.

10. EQUIVAALENCY INFORMATION

TOSHIBA Corporation Medical Systems Company believes that the OPART™ /Ultra (model MRT-600EX/UH, MRT-600EX/U1) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system or the OPART™ system with Ultra upgrade kit (MZKT-GP0302/U1) is substantially equivalent to the OPART™ (model MRT-600) (K993574) cleared on January 18, 2000 except for Gradient System. As for the Gradient System on OPART™ /Ultra system, it is substantially equivalent to the Gradient System on EXCELART™ with Pianissimo. The hardware configuration is substantially equivalent to model MRT-1501 /P2 system (K993803) cleared on February 4, 2000 and the gradient performance such as the maximum slew rate and gradient strength is substantially equivalent to model MRT-1501 /P3 system (K002531) cleared on October 26, 2000. The difference of the gradient performance by using the substantially equivalent hardware with MRT-1501 /P2 is due to the difference of the gradient coil design. The OPART™ /Ultra has the similar gradient performance to MRT-1501 /P3 with the hardware configuration substantially equivalent to MRT-1501 /P2 except for the gradient coil.

TOSHIBA Corporation Medical Systems Company also performed the dB/dt and acoustic noise verifications on OPART™ /Ultra system.

The new Gradient System offers advantages of faster acquisitions, but does not change the system's intended use. Good Manufacturing Practices requirements and software development procedures are unchanged from those already in effect for the EXCELART™ with Pianissimo.

A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
