Intended Use
The MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is an open, whole body scanner designed to support improved higher resolution imaging and shorter scan times. The MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to, the musculoskeletal, vascular, cardiac, and neuro systems. The images produced by the Rhapsody system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spinspin relaxation time (T2) and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. Due to the 'open' design of the system, the Rhapsody may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR safe biopsy needles.
Device Description
The Modified MAGNETOM Rhapsody System is a 1.0 T open superconducting magnet designed scanner. It consists of the same types of hardware (with a modified SAFE designed bearing in the currently available MAGNETOM Rhapsody systems. These original systems were cleared under premarket notification K003628.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the description focuses on hardware modifications and standard MRI imaging principles.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic imaging device" whose images "provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis." It is not described as treating or curing a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is "indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "1.0 T open superconducting magnet designed scanner" and consists of "hardware," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is a diagnostic imaging device that uses magnetic resonance to produce images of the internal structures of the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for producing images of internal structures and organs for diagnostic purposes, interpreted by a trained physician. This is a form of in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging.

Therefore, the MAGNETOM Rhapsody system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

(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)
