Intended Use
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. The FlexiCoil - malleable receive-only surface coil expands the capability of the PoleStar N-10 MR Imaging System (K002242). It improves imaging of selected sections of the head and extremities.
Device Description
The FlexiCoil is a malleable receive-only surface coil intended to facilitate intraoperative MR imaging of selected sections of the head and extremities. This component is a malleable circular enclosed coil that consists of copper straps covered with Medical Foam Tape and an electronic tuning box, which can be placed around the anatomy of interest for MR imaging. The malleable structure of the coil allows adjustment of size and shape by pulling/releasing the plastic holders on both sides of the coil, providing the highest possible contact between the coil and the area to be imaged. Due to its malleability the FlexiCoil can cover a wider area than the presently used coils (K991243) resulting in better image uniformity and a better overall SNR when imaging structures near the surface of the patient's head or extremity. The improved SNR is a result of the coil being closer to the signal-emitting anatomy, and being fully tuned and matched to the signal and receive channel. In addition the coil can be easily placed near the anatomy to be imaged with little or no patient post procedure discomfort. The FlexiCoil is for single use only and is supplied non-sterile.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical design and performance characteristics of a receive-only surface coil for MRI, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing, analysis, or other functions.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool used to produce images and spectra for general diagnostic use, and to improve imaging of selected sections of the head and extremities. It does not mention any therapeutic capabilities or intent to treat any condition.

No

The device description indicates that the FlexiCoil is a "receive-only surface coil" that "expands the capability of the PoleStar N-10 MR Imaging System" and "improves imaging." This suggests it is an accessory that aids in image acquisition, not a device that makes a diagnosis. The device's function is to help present images ("reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra"), which are then used for diagnostic purposes by other devices or professionals.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical hardware component (a malleable receive-only surface coil made of copper straps, Medical Foam Tape, and an electronic tuning box) used in conjunction with an MR imaging system. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The FlexiCoil is a component of a Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging system. It is a surface coil that is placed on the patient's body (head or extremities) to improve the quality of the MR images.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for general diagnostic imaging by presenting images that reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra of nuclei within the body.

The device is used for in vivo (within the living body) imaging, not in vitro (outside the living body) testing of specimens.

(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.
