Intended Use

The MR Instruments TEM 3002G-HN Dual Tune headcoil is to be used in conjunction with a 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging system to produce proton ('H) images and spectra of the internal structures of the head. In addition, sodium (20Na) images and spectra may be obtained during the same exam without changing the coil. These images and/or spectral information of the head, when interpreted by a trained physician, may yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Device Story

TEM 3002G-HN Dual Tune headcoil is a quadrature transmit/receive RF coil for 3T MRI systems; designed for head imaging. Device captures proton (1H) and sodium (23Na) signals simultaneously without coil changes. Rigid plastic housing protects patient/environment. Operated by MRI technicians/radiologists in clinical settings. Output consists of MR images and spectra; interpreted by physicians to assist in diagnosis. Benefits include dual-nuclei imaging capability within a single exam session, improving workflow compared to single-tuned or non-dual-resonant coils.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation included electrical bench measurements, electrical/mechanical safety tests, and MR system safety and performance tests using phantoms and volunteer scans on a GE Healthcare Signa 3T MR system.

Technological Characteristics

Quadrature transmit/receive RF coil; dual-tuned for proton (1H) and sodium (23Na) frequencies at 3T. Rigid plastic housing. Resonant elements with matching and quadrature splitting circuitry. Standalone hardware component for MRI systems.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing 3T MRI of the head to obtain proton (1H) and sodium (23Na) images and spectra for diagnostic assistance. Prescription use only.

Regulatory Classification

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).

Special Controls

*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.

Device Description The TEM 3002G-HN Dual Tune headcoil is a quadrature transmit/receive RF coil tuned to proton ('H) and sodium (22Na) frequencies 3T. The TEM resonant elements and associated matching and quadrature splitting circuitry are enclosed in a rigid plastic housing to prevent any exposure to patient or environment. The predicate devices are also quadrature transmit/receive RF headcoils. All have similar construction, size and shape. All are tuned to proton ('H) resonant frequency at 3T and two are dual resonant, one at phosphorus (31P) and one at carbon (18C). #### 4. Intended Use The MR Instruments TEM 3002G-HN Dual Tune headcoil is to be used in conjunction with a 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging system to produce proton ('H) images and spectra of the internal structures of the head. In addition, sodium (20 a) images and spectra may be obtained during the same exam without changing the coil. These images and/or spectral information of the head, when interpreted by a trained physician, may yield information that may assist in diagnosis. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for MR Instruments Inc.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison The TEM 3002G-HN Dual Tune headcoil is substantially equivalent to the following devices with respect to safety, intended use and design: | Coil Name | Premarket<br>Notification | Clearance Date | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------|-------------------| | GE Healthcare<br>Split Head Coil Assembly for G3, for use<br>with a Signa 3T MR system for producing<br>proton (1H) MR images and spectra | K040444 | April 14, 2004 | | Siemens Medical Solutions<br>31P/1H headcoil for MAGNETOM Allegra MR<br>system for producing phosphorus (31P) and<br>proton (1H) MR images and spectra | K042617 | November 5, 2004 | | Siemens Medical Solutions<br>13C/1H headcoil for MAGNETOM Allegra MR<br>system for producing carbon (13C) and proton<br>(1H) MR images and spectra | K042718 | November 12, 2004 | Similarities between the devices are devices in that they are all transmit and receive RF coils designed to work in conjunction with 3T MR System for acquiring proton ('H) diagnostic images and spectra of the internal structures of the head. The double resonance coils are similar in frequency as noted below. In addition, all coils are similar in size, shape and construction. Note: The resonance frequency of 13C = 32.4 MHz, 22 Na = 33.8 MHz, and 31P = 51.6 MHz at 3T. The primary differences between the devices are that the TEM 3002G-HN coil adds sodium (22) imaging capability instead of phosphorus (31P) or carbon (130). The GE Healthcare Split Top Coil is not a double resonant coil and requires switching coils to obtain images or spectra at other frequencies. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo for MR Instruments INC. The logo is black and white and features a stylized "m" followed by what appears to be a textured circle and two vertical lines. Below the symbol is the text "MR INSTRUMENTS INC" in a simple sans-serif font. # 6. Summary of Studies Verification and validation testing was performed to ensure that the coil design requirements specification and customer requirements specification were met. Testing activities included electrical bench measurements, electrical/mechanical safety tests, MR system safety and performance tests with phantoms and volunteer scans. MR system tests were conducted using the GE Healthcare Signa 3T MR system running standard clinical applications. ### 7. Conclusion (statement of equivalence) The data and information provided in this submission supports a substantial equivalence determination, and, therefore, 510(k) premarket notification clearance of the TEM 3002G-HN Dual Tune headcoil. {3}------------------------------------------------ ### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
