Intended Use
The Superopen 0.35T is intended to produce images that 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), spin-spin relaxation time (T2) and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. The Superopen 0.35T is an imaging device, and is intended to provide the physician with physiological and clinical information obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation. The MRI system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by MRI 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), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.

Device Description
The Superopen 0.35T is a 0.35T permanent magnet MRI system. The magnet is mainly made of NdFeB material. The system software based on Windows (TM) is an interactive program with user-friendly interface. Its functions cover scanning control, image reconstruction and image/archive management and maintenance.
More Information

No
The document describes standard MRI imaging techniques and software for image reconstruction and management. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections.

No.
The 'Intended Use' section explicitly states that the device is an "imaging device" used for "diagnosis determination" and to "produce images," not for treatment.

Yes

The device produces images that, when interpreted by a trained physician, "provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis." It is explicitly stated under "Diagnostic uses."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "0.35T permanent magnet MRI system" and mentions the magnet is made of "NdFeB material," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Superopen 0.35T is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
  • Superopen 0.35T Function: The Superopen 0.35T is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. It produces images of the internal structure of the body by utilizing magnetic fields and radio waves. This is a non-invasive imaging technique that does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that it produces images that are interpreted by a trained physician to provide information useful in determining a diagnosis. This aligns with the function of an imaging device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the Superopen 0.35T falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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.

The Superopen 0.35T is of comparable type and substantially equivalent to the Hitachi AIRIS II (K974212) and the AIRIS II Version 4.1 Software(K001334) in that they are similar in technology and intended uses. Both of these systems are open-permanent-magnet MR Imaging System, use Gradient Subsystem to provide controlled and uniform gradient magnet fields in the X, Y and Z planes, and use RF Subsystem to complete the function of RF signal transmitting/receiving and processing. Image reconstruction is controlled by console' s computer that has an interactive user interface, and the system produces 2D and 3D image that can be filmed or electronically stored for future review. Both of these systems have the traditional MRI unit.
