Intended Use
The MR-Guide 2000 system is a frameless stereotactic guiding accessory for Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems. The system is MRI-compatible. It displays the simulated image of a rigid insertion instrument, such as a biopsy needle or an aspiration needle, on a computer monitor screen that also shows the MR image of the target organs and the projected future path of the interventional instrument, compensating for respiratory movements of the patient. The device is intended to be used in clinical interventions and for anatomical structures where magnetic resonance is currently used for visualizing such structures.
Device Description
The MR-Guide 2000 provides visual guiding information of the interventional instrument by overlaying graphics depicting its relative position and its predicted future path on the MR image of the internal organs all displayed on the monitor of a personal computer.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system that overlays graphics and predicts a path based on MR images and respiratory compensation, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning-based algorithms. The performance studies rely on bench tests and equivalence to a predicate device, not on training or testing data sets typically associated with AI/ML.

No.
The device is a guiding accessory for imaging systems, assisting with the placement of instruments, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease itself.

No

The device is described as a "frameless stereotactic guiding accessory" for MR systems, intended for guiding interventional instruments like biopsy needles. It displays the simulated path of an instrument on an MR image, emphasizing its role in guiding surgical or interventional procedures, not in identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "frameless stereotactic guiding accessory for Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems" and mentions "visual guiding information of the interventional instrument by overlaying graphics depicting its relative position and its predicted future path on the MR image". This implies a hardware component that interacts with the MR system and the interventional instrument to provide this positional information, even if the display is on a computer monitor. The non-clinical tests also mention "bench tests for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility" and "Accuracy tests were done in phantoms," which are typical for hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The MR-Guide 2000 system is a guiding accessory used during clinical interventions directly on the patient. It uses MR imaging of the patient's internal organs to guide the insertion of instruments like needles.
  • The device's function is to provide visual guidance for a procedure, not to analyze biological samples.

Therefore, the MR-Guide 2000 falls under the category of a surgical or interventional guidance system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The MR-Guide 2000 provides visual guiding information of the interventional instrument by overlaying graphics depicting its relative position and its predicted future path on the MR image of the internal organs all displayed on the monitor of a personal computer.

The device uses a magnetic tracking system comprising transmitters and sensors, sold under the trade name "MiniBird," to determine the location and orientation of the interventional instrument. This magnetic tracking system has been used on medical devices cleared by the FDA. The position and orientations of the interventional device tool, and the MRI images acquired by the MRI scanner, are transmitted to a data processor (computer), which makes the necessary calculations to provide the guidance graphic overlay depicting the interventional instrument on the MRI image.

A. Non-clinical tests
The MR-Guide 2000 has undergone extensive bench tests for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility to validate all design changes. The major components (the computer and optical tracker) are all commercial devices with published environmental and physical specifications.

Accuracy tests were done in phantoms.

B. Clinical Test
Since this system uses the same technology as the predicate device, a clinical test is not necessary.

§ 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 Dr. Myers:

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.
