Intended Use

The BrainAcquireRx™ / BrainProcessRx™ Data Suite is software used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance scanner to acquire and process blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other MRI data sets.

The BrainAcquireRx software application presents a scripted series of synchronized visual and/or auditory stimuli and/or cognitive/motor tasks to the patient being scanned. The patient's responses and image data from the MRI scanner are stored for use by the BrainProcessRx application, which performs post-processing for quality control and subsequent viewing of fMRI and other MRI data. These applications can also be used to assist in scripted data acquisition and post-processing of anatomical, functional, and physiologic MR imagery including magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and MR diffusion. The integration of these data, when interpreted by a trained physician, yields information that may assist in the diagnosis of brain pathology and the planning and monitoring of medical treatments.

Device Description

The software provides support for functional MRI (fMRI) data acquisition and post-processing, as well as other anatomical, functional and physiologic MRI studies. BrainAcquireRx provides a scripted approach to performing fMRI and other functional, anatomical and physiologic MRI studies. BrainProcessRx performs post-processing of fMRI and other data sets. The processed data is ready for report generation utilizing the Kyron BrainViewRx™ Viewer.

Dear Dr. Reuss:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

(a)
Identification. 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.
