AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) summary describes a device that is essentially an accessory to an MRI system (internal MR coils). The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context are focused on demonstrating that the new device (Philips compatible version of existing coils) is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, particularly regarding safety and compatibility with the new MRI system.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformanceStudy Type
Possibility of excess RF heating: No excess heating, temperature change within acceptable range (< 2 degrees C in the trunk).Change in temperature within the same range with the coil in place as without it in a phantom. Not significantly different than without the coil.Phantom Study
Possibility of increased susceptibility of patients to peripheral nerve stimulation: No possibility of increased susceptibility to peripheral nerve stimulation.Experiments done previously to determine current leakage by the MRI pulsed gradient field demonstrate no possibility of increased susceptibility. Remains true despite change from GE to Philips system.Previous Experiment (referenced)
Imaging Performance: Enhanced resolution (specifically for aortic regions visualized from the esophagus). Functions like any other specialty MRI coil for general diagnostic imaging.Imaging performance demonstrates enhanced resolution of aortic regions visualized from the esophagus.

Study Details

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • RF Heating Study: A "phantom" was used. The specific type or number of phantoms is not detailed.
    • Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: No specific test set described for this submission; it references "experiments done previously" and asserts that the findings remain true for the Philips system.
    • Imaging Performance: "a volunteer" was used. No further details on the volunteer or data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
    • Mechanical Testing: Not explicitly stated for this particular submission, but references "the Esophageal Coil" and states it's identical to the "original Surgi-Vision Esophageal Stylet Coil," implying prior mechanical testing. No specific sample size or provenance for this re-affirmation.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • This submission focuses on engineering and compatibility testing, not diagnostic accuracy requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.
    • For imaging performance, the enhanced resolution is an objective observation, not dependent on establishing a "ground truth" through expert consensus in the same way a diagnostic AI algorithm would be. No experts are mentioned for ground truth establishment.
  3. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable for this type of technical and compatibility assessment.

  4. 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 is not an AI diagnostic device, nor is it a study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance.

  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is a medical device (MRI coil), not an algorithm.

  6. The type of ground truth used:

    • RF Heating: Direct temperature measurements in a phantom, compared to baseline (without the coil). This is an objective physical measurement.
    • Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: Current leakage measurements from previous experiments are the basis. This is an objective physical measurement.
    • Imaging Performance: Visual assessment of image resolution (e.g., "enhanced resolution of aortic regions"). While qualitative, it's based on visual clarity and detail. This is an objective physical measurement (image quality metrics), not clinical "ground truth" derived from patient outcomes or pathology.
    • Mechanical Testing: Force/load tests. This is an objective physical measurement.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI models with training sets.

  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned.

The Intercept™ Internal MR Coils have the same technological characteristics Both proposed and predicate devices have an as the predicate devices. electronic matching circuit, a connecting coaxial cable, and an intercavitary probe with a radiofrequency receiving coil. However, there are differences in the scanner systems that make it desirable to provide performance data to assure Such performance data are available and do substantial equivalence. demonstrate substantial equivalence.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS E.

See Section D, above.

ட் TESTING

Surgi-Vision carried out testing and/or analysis of the Intercept™ Esophageal Internal MR Coil that addressed the following issues:

  • Possibility of excess RF heating 1.
  • Possibility of increased susceptibility of patients to peripheral nerve 2. stimulation
  • Imaging performance 3.
  • র্বা Mechanical Testing

POSSIBILITY OF EXCESS RF HEATING

The primary safety issue for the Intercept™ Esophageal Internal MR Coil is the potential for excess heating of tissue near the coil by MRI system's RF power. Surgi-Vision carried out a study in a phantom that shows that the change in temperature is within the same range with the coil in place as without it.

The results of the heating experiments demonstrate that there is no excess heating when the coil is positioned in a phantom that is representative of clinical conditions. The change in temperature observed during use of the coil is not significantly different then that observed without the coil. Finally, the imaging performance demonstrates enhanced resolution of aortic regions visualized from the esophagus. The results of the testing demonstrate that there are no safety problems for imaging of a patient using the Intercept™ Esophageal Internal MR

{2}------------------------------------------------

Coil if the instructions for use are followed and the change in temperature observed during use of the coil is within an acceptable range (< 2 degrees C in the trunk).

POSSIBILITY OF INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO NERVE STIMULATION

The experiments done previously to determine current leakage by the MRI pulsed gradient field demonstrate that there is no possibility of increased susceptibility of patients to peripheral nerve stimulation. This remains true despite a change from the GE to the Philips system. A copy of this report is included in this 510k.

IMAGING PERFORMANCE

The Surgi-Vision coil functions like any other specialty MRI coil and it is indicated for general diagnostic imaging. Therefore, a series of images were taken using the coil in a volunteer illustrating its use in the esophagus on the Philips 1.5T MRI system.

MECHANICAL TESTING

The Surgi-Vision coils have undergone mechanical testing and the results on the Esophageal Coil were provided. Since the coils are identical to the original Surgi-Vision Esophageal Stylet Coil, the same results are presented. The bonds between the connector/coaxial connector and connector/Introducer sleeve have displayed strengths in excess of the required 1lb/f.

CONCLUSIONS G.

This pre-market submission has demonstrated Substantial Equivalence as defined and understood in the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and various guidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
