Intended Use

The Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3T are surface type transmit/receive coils dual tuned on l H (proton) and either 31P (phosphorus), 23Na (sodium) or 13C (carbon) nuclei. The coils are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device accessory to Siemens MAGNETOM Trio, A Tim System 3T and MAGNETOM Verio 3T magnetic resonance diagnostic devices to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that display the internal structure and/or function of the head or extremities. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Device Description

The Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T are transmit/receive surface coils to detect radiofrequency (RF) signals of hydrogen (1H) nuclei in combination with either phosphorus (31P), carbon (13C) or sodium (23Na) nuclei. Each coil consists of two single concentric loops, one of which is always tuned to the proton frequency, the other being tuned to either phosphorus-31P, carbon-13C or sodium-23Na frequency. Additional components are housed in a separate interface housing box.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3T, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission acts as a 510(k) summary, aiming to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than explicitly defining and meeting specific quantitative acceptance criteria in a pass/fail manner. Instead, the submission outlines parameters considered and states that the new device's performance results in these areas are "equivalent with the predicate devices."

Acceptance Criteria (Parameters Considered from FDA Guidance)Reported Device Performance
Safety
BiocompatibilityNo new materials in contact with patients; thus, no biocompatibility tests performed. Assumed equivalent to predicate.
RF Power DepositionTested; assumed acceptable.
Performance - Imaging
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)Tested according to NEMA MS 6-2008; results "show that they are equivalent with the predicate devices."
Image UniformityTested according to NEMA MS 6-2008; results "show that they are equivalent with the predicate devices."
Slice Profile, Thickness and GapSlice profile tests performed according to NEMA MS 5-2003; results "show that they are equivalent with the predicate devices."
Performance - Spectroscopy
Spectral ResolutionSpectroscopic tests on spectral resolution carried out; assumed acceptable.
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)Spectroscopic tests on SNR carried out; assumed acceptable.
DecouplingSpectroscopic tests on decoupling carried out; assumed acceptable.

Note: The document does not provide specific numerical values for the performance metrics, only stating equivalence to the predicate device or that tests were performed.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided text does not explicitly state a "test set" in the context of human subject data. The testing described appears to be primarily bench testing or phantom testing on the device itself and its interaction with MR systems. Therefore, there is no mention of human subject sample sizes or data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The tests were performed on "the Siemens MAGNETOM Trio a Tim System" which is an MR scanner.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

Not applicable. This device is an accessory (surface coil) for an MR diagnostic device. The ground truth for its performance tests (e.g., SNR, image uniformity, spectral resolution) would be derived from quantitative measurements based on standardized test methods (like NEMA standards), not expert interpretation of images/spectra for diagnostic accuracy.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As noted above, the performance is assessed through quantitative measurements, not expert adjudication of diagnostic outcomes.

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 submission is for a hardware accessory (MR coil), not an AI-powered diagnostic software.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This is a hardware device. Its "performance" is inherently "standalone" in that it produces raw data/images/spectra, which are then interpreted by a human. The coil itself is not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for the device's performance tests would be established through quantitative measurements against recognized industry standards (e.g., NEMA standards) or engineering specifications. For example, SNR would be measured directly from phantom images, spectral resolution from known chemical phantoms, etc. This is not a diagnostic device where pathology or expert consensus would establish ground truth for clinical decision-making.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a hardware device, not a machine learning algorithm that requires a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. As above, this is a hardware device.

III. Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting Substantial Equivalence Intended Use

The Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3T are surface type transmit/receive coils dual tuned on l H (proton) and either 31P (phosphorus), 23Na (sodium) or 13C (carbon) nuclei. The coils are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device accessory to Siemens MAGNETOM Trio, A Tim System 3T and MAGNETOM Verio 3T magnetic resonance diagnostic devices to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that display the internal structure and/or function of the head or extremities. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Device Description

The Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T are transmit/receive surface coils to detect radiofrequency (RF) signals of hydrogen (1H) nuclei in combination with either phosphorus (31P), carbon (13C) or sodium (23Na) nuclei. Each coil consists of two single concentric loops, one of which is always tuned to the proton frequency, the other being tuned to either phosphorus-31P, carbon-13C or sodium-23Na frequency. Additional components are housed in a separate interface housing box.

Equivalency Information

Rapid Biomedical believes that the Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T are substantially equivalent to the cleared 31P/IH heart/liver coil by Siemens Healthcare (formerly Siemens Medical Solutions) which is described in the following submission:

Predicate Device NameFDA Clearance NumberFDA Clearance Date
Siemens Medical Solutions 31P/IHheart/liver coil included in syngo MR2002BK020991Jun 13th, 2002

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Principal Device as compared with the Predicate Device

In contrast to the predicate device, the Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T are designed for a field strength of 3 T. While the predicate device was only available as 31P//H coil, the new devices are also available as 23Na/1H and 13C/1H coils. Although the predicate coil is designed for non-invasive in vivo detection of 31P-metabolites instead of the additional 13C and 23Na metabolites detectable with the coils described in this submission, we believe that they are substantially equivalent Magnetic Resonance Specialty Coils for spectroscopy of nuclei other than protons. Numerous publications by researchers worldwide support the usefulness of 13C and 23Na spectroscopy. No risks different to standard MR occur for the patient during these investigations.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The following safety and performance parameters:

{3}------------------------------------------------

KID2348 p4/5

[Safety]

  • Maximum Static Field
  • Rate of Change of Magnetic Field
  • Acoustic Noise Level

[Performance-Imaging]

  • Geometric Distortion
  • High Contrast Spatial Resolution

[Performance-Spectroscopy]

  • Spatial Localization Accuracy
  • Peak Assignment Accuracy
  • Solvent Suppression

specified by the FDA Guidance document for MR Diagnostic Devices are unaffected by the modifications described within this notification.

The following parameters were considered for the new Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T:

[Safety]

  • Biocompatibility
  • RF Power Deposition

[Performance-Imaging]

  • Signal to Noise Ratio
  • Image Uniformity
  • Slice Profile, Thickness and Gap

[Performance-Spectroscopy]

  • Spectral Resolution
  • Signal to Noise Ratio
  • Decoupling

The new devices conform to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-33, 2nd edition. All safety tests are performed on the Siemens MAGNETOM Trio a Tim System. This is the

{4}------------------------------------------------

most critical engine for safety and performance of the Siemens MAGNETOM 3T series. Passing these tests gives the Siemens approval for the complete MAGNETOM 3T series.

No new materials coming in contact with patients were used for the new Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T compared to the predicate device. Therefore no biocompatibility tests were performed. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and image uniformity tests according to NEMA MS 6-2008 as well as slice profile tests according to NEMA MS 5-2003 were performed for the new Dual Tuned Surface Coils 3 T and the results presented in this submission show that they are equivalent with the predicate devices.

Furthermore, spectroscopic tests on SNR, spectral resolution and decoupling were carried out.

Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence

Laboratory testing was performed to support this claim of substantial equivalence and to show that the technological differences do not raise any new questions pertaining to safety and effectiveness.
