Intended Use
The Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is a receive-only phased array RF coil, used for obtaining diagnostic images of the brain, upper cervical spine, and the soft tissues and vasculature of the head and neck in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems. The Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is designed for use with the ExcelArt 1.5T MRI system manufactured by Toshiba Medical Systems, Inc. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR Imaging. The Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is designed to provide Magnetic Resonance Images of the brain, upper cervical spine, and the soft tissues and vasculature of the head and neck. The Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is designed for use with the Toshiba 1.5T scanner manufactured by Toshiba Medical Systems. The 1.5T MRI system is indicated for use as an NMR device that produces 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 Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is a multi-element quadrature phased array, receive-only coil. The coil consists of three sections: a main coil base, a sliding head section, and a removable chin coil section. The open, patient friendly design minimizes claustrophobic effects and maximizes patient comfort. The coil elements and accessory electronics are enclosed in a rigid plastic housing, which is fire rated and has a high impact and tensile strength.
More Information

No
The summary describes a passive RF coil for MRI, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any processing that would suggest AI/ML.

No
The device is used for obtaining diagnostic images, which inherently aids in diagnosis rather than providing therapy.

Yes

The device aids in obtaining diagnostic images, which when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information useful in determining a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "receive-only phased array RF coil" with "coil elements and accessory electronics enclosed in a rigid plastic housing," indicating it is a hardware component for an MRI system, 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 Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is a component of an MRI system. Its function is to receive radiofrequency signals from the patient's body during an MRI scan to create images.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain diagnostic images of the brain, upper cervical spine, and the soft tissues and vasculature of the head and neck. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic process, not an in vitro process.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze samples taken from the body. It interacts directly with the patient's body to acquire data for imaging.

Therefore, the Excalibur 9000 TotalSENSE™ Quad Array Head Coil is a medical device used for in vivo diagnostic imaging, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
