Intended Use

LMT nomag IC 1,5 is an infant incubator system for temporary use during MR-imaging in clinical environments and in combination with a suitable trolley for intra hospital transport.

LMT nomag IC 1,5 provides a controlled environment of warmth and humidity for premature babies and sick infants up to a body weight of 4,5 kg (10 lbs) and a maximum body length of 55 cm (21.7 inches).

LMT nomag IC 1,5 is suitable for MR scanner of field strengths up to 1.5T.

Device Description

The LMT Nomag IC 1,5 is an incubator for preterm and term-born infants who are scheduled for Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging and are dependant on warming therapv. It provides a microclimate of air temperature and humidity suiting the infants needs. The incubator has a trolley for intra clinical transport providing power.

The incubator runs in air control mode and has closed loop control for both air temperature and humiditication works hygienically via vaporizing of distilled water.

AI/ML Overview

The acceptance criteria and study proving the device meets them can be summarized as follows:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance Criteria (Imaging Quality)Reported Device Performance (LMT nomag IC 1,5)
Decrease in Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)0 to 2% for most sequences
Image Artefacts (geometric distortion, ghosting, uniformity)"no significant artefacts caused by the incubator"

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance:

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a numerical count of patients or phantom images. The document mentions "patient and bench testing" and "tested according to an established protocol using phantoms." It also states compatibility was tested with "MR scanners of different manufacturers (Siemens, GE, Philips all 1.5T)." This implies a small, targeted test set to evaluate MR compatibility.
  • Data Provenance: The testing appears to be conducted by the manufacturer, LMT Lammers Medical Technology GmbH, in Germany. The nature of "patient testing" isn't further elaborated, so it's unclear if this was retrospective or prospective. Phantom studies are inherently prospective.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth (Test Set):

  • Number of Experts: Not specified.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not specified. The evaluation of imaging quality ("images were evaluated regarding Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and artefacts like geometric distortion, ghosting and uniformity") would typically be performed by trained radiologists or MR physicists, but this is not explicitly stated in the provided text.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Adjudication Method: Not specified.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. The study focused on the impact of the incinerator on image quality, not human reader performance with or without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:

This device is a neonatal transport incubator, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, a standalone (algorithm only) performance study is not applicable. The performance evaluated was the physical device's impact on MR imaging.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth for the imaging quality assessment appears to be based on expert evaluation of image quality metrics (SNR, artefacts) relative to expected baseline MR image quality without the incubator. The document implicitly uses the concept of "acceptable" performance based on expert judgment in the context of the benefits of continuous warming therapy.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is hardware, not a machine learning algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

Not applicable.

Sec. 3 510(k) Summary LMT nomag IC 1,5

Intended Use of the LMT Nomag IC 1,5

LMT nomag IC 1,5 is an infant incubator system for temporary use during MRimaging in clinical environments and in combination with a suitable trolley for intra hospital transport.

LMT nomag IC 1,5 provides a controlled environment of warmth and humidity for premature babies and sick infants up to a body weight of 4,5 kg (10 lbs) and a maximum body length of 55 cm (21.7 inches).

LMT nomaq IC 1,5 is suitable for MR scanner of field strengths up to 1,5T.

Function of the Device

The LMT Nomag IC 1,5 is an incubator for preterm and term-born infants who are scheduled for Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging and are dependant on warming therapv. It provides a microclimate of air temperature and humidity suiting the infants needs. The incubator has a trolley for intra clinical transport providing power.

The incubator runs in air control mode and has closed loop control for both air temperature and humiditication works hygienically via vaporizing of distilled water.

Design and Specifications

The basic incubator performance of the LMT nomaq IC 1,5 is defined by the IEC particular standard and thus similar to commercially available incubators. The technologies used for providing incubator functions are similar to legally marketed devices.

Testing under MR influence

The MR compatibility has been proven in patient and bench testing.

The images were evaluated regarding Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and artefacts like geometric distortion, ghosting and uniformity. The decrease in imaging quality (i.e. loss of SNR) was 0 to 2% for most sequences. This value is considered acceptable compared to the benefits of continuous warming therapy throughout scanning.

Sec. 3 510(k) Summary LMT nomag IC 1,5

Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows three black dots followed by the letters "LMT" in bold black font. The dots are evenly spaced and aligned horizontally. The letters "LMT" are also aligned horizontally and are larger than the dots. The letter "M" is stylized with a sharp angle at the top.

The compatibility with MR scanners of different manufacturers (Siemens, GE, Philips all 1,5T) have been tested according to an established protocol using phantoms.

SE Statement

The LMT Nomag IC 1,5 incubator is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device with respect to the incubator functions. It is compliant with international harmonized standards for incubators by the IEC. The behaviour of the incubator under the special environmental conditions during MR imaging have been tested and have shown no adverse effects in neither direction. The incubator performance was not influenced in any way by the scanner and the imaging has not shown significant artefacts caused by the incubator. Other functions of the scanner were also not influenced by the incubator. The testing did not rise new risks or questions associated with the use of a MR compatible incubator.

The LMT Nomag IC 1,5 1,5T works as safe and effective as the legally marketed device.
