Intended Use
The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are three separate receive-only coils used to obtain diagnostic images of the anus, prostate, and cervix. The coils are designed to be inserted into either the rectum or vagina before imaging. The coils are delivered in a sterile state and are disposable, single-use devices. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR Imaging. The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are designed for use with MRI Scanners manufactured by Marconi Medical Systems, Inc. and GE Medical Systems, Inc. The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are three receive only RF Coils designed to provide diagnostic images of the anus, prostate and cervix in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are singleuse disposable devices that are delivered and packaged in a sterile state. The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are designed for use with Marconi Medical Systems and GE Medical Systems MRI Scanners. The indications for use are the same as for standard imaging: The Marconi MRI Scanners and GE MRI Scanners are indicated for use as NMR devices that produce images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR signal, (2) depend upon NMR parameters (proton density, spin lattice relaxation time T1, spin-spin relaxation time T2) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head and whole body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.
Device Description
The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are three separate disposable, receive-only MRI coils. The three separate coils are the prostate probe, the cervical probe, and the anal probe. The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils provide significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and image resolution. The coils are designed to be inserted into either the rectum or vagina for imaging and can be used in conjunction with the USA Instruments' Insight Plus 9000 Torso and Pelvis Coil. The shape and dimensions of the three coils are similar to ultrasound probes used in endocavitary applications. The coils are housed in a rigid plastic housing and are connected to an interface box via a cable. An external immobilization device is also provided with the coils to stabilize the coil and limit motion. The physical structure of the coils, and use of an immobilization device, increases patient comfort and ease of positioning.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical design and function of receive-only MRI coils, which are hardware components for signal acquisition, not software or algorithms for image processing or analysis. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any form of computational analysis of the acquired data within the device itself.

No.
The device is used to obtain diagnostic images and aid in diagnosis, not to provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used to "obtain diagnostic images" and that the images "yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis."

No

The device description clearly states that the Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are physical coils housed in a rigid plastic housing, connected by a cable, and include an external immobilization device. These are all hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Nuvo 9000 Endocavitary Coils are used inside the body (in vivo) to acquire images using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). They are a component of the MRI system, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain diagnostic images of specific anatomical sites (anus, prostate, cervix) for interpretation by a trained physician. This is a diagnostic imaging procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is an imaging accessory used within the body for diagnostic purposes, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 892.1000 Magnetic resonance diagnostic device.

(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.

Dear Mr. Thomas:

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 (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
