No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive MRI coil and does not mention any software or processing capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an array coil for MRI, used for imaging and angiography, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes
The device is a coil used for MRI/MRA, which are imaging modalities explicitly used to visualize internal structures for the purpose of diagnosis (e.g., of musculoskeletal, soft tissue, and vascular structures). While the device itself doesn't make a diagnosis, it is an essential component of a diagnostic imaging system.

No

The device description explicitly states "Model 558GE-64 Torso Array Coil," which is a hardware component used in MRI systems. The summary also details performance studies related to imaging parameters of this hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) of anatomical structures. This is an imaging modality used to visualize internal body structures, not to perform tests on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is a "Torso Array Coil" for an MRI system. This is a component of an imaging machine, not a device used to analyze biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used to image specific anatomical regions within the body. IVDs are used to analyze samples from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device is clearly an imaging component used in vivo (within the living body).

§ 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.

UL 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part I: General Requirements for Safety

  • Tests for Flammability of Plastic UL 94 Materials
  • General Safety Requirements for IEC 601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment

Overview

The Radiology Devices Panel considered potential concerns regarding the safe and effective operation of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices when they recommended reclassification to Class II on July 27, 1987. After reclassification, the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) released a draft guidance document for the content and review of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device premarket notification submissions that offered clarification of these concerns. Due to considerable technological advances in MRDDs, CDRH issued an updated guidance document on November 14, 1998. The following is a summary of the information contained within this premarket notification that addresses these concerns:

The GE Signa EXCITE 1.5T MRI system, operated with the Medical Advances Torso Array Coil, is substantially equivalent to the Hitachi AIRIS-Elite 0.3T system operated with the legally marketed predicate device listed in section 4.0, within the Class II definition of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device with respect to the safety parameter action levels:

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The device contains instructions for use. It includes indications for use, precautions, cautions, contraindications, warnings and quality assurance testing. This information assures safe and effective use of the device.

Substantial Equivalence Summary

The GE Signa EXCITE 1.5T MRI system operated with the Medical Advances Torso Array Coil addressed in this PMN, has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the Hitachi AIRIS-Elite 0.3T system operated with the identified legally marketed predicate device. The use of this coil does not affect the GE Signa EXCITE 1.5T system safety parameter specifications.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
