Intended Use
G-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal and coronal and oblique cross-section images of the limbs, joints and spinal column. It is intended for imaging portions of the upper limb, including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder, imaging portions of the lower limb, including the foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh and imaging portions of the spinal column, including the cervical, thoracic and lumbo-sacral sections. G-scan images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that determine magnetic resonance properties and are dependent on the MR parameters, including spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and "chemical shift". When interpreted by a medical expert trained in the use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information.
Device Description
G-scan is an open MRI system designed specifically to image limbs, joints and the spinal column. The system is equipped with a hydraulic mechanism that will rotate both the magnet and the patient table from horizontal to vertical position, as shown in the following figures. The patient may be scanned while lying down in a horizontal position and later he can be scanned vertically, in the weight bearing state, limited to the ankle, knee, hip and shoulder joint, and the spine. The system is composed of these main parts: - 1. Magnetic unit. - 2. Electronics box. - 3. Operating console that consists of the PC unit (including keyboard and mouse), the monitor and the operating table. - 4. Receiving coils. - 5. Modular shielding box with filter panel.

No
The summary describes a standard MRI system and its components, focusing on its mechanical features and imaging capabilities. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML information.

No.
The device is an MR imaging system intended to produce images for diagnostic purposes, not for treating conditions.

Yes
The device is described as producing images that, when interpreted by a medical expert, "can provide diagnostically useful information." This indicates its role in aiding in the diagnosis of medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including a magnetic unit, electronics box, operating console (PC unit, monitor, operating table), receiving coils, and a modular shielding box. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, 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.
  • G-scan's Function: The G-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system. It produces images of internal body structures (limbs, joints, spinal column) by using magnetic fields and radio waves. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "imaging portions of the limbs, joints and spinal column" to provide "diagnostically useful information" when interpreted by a medical expert. This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the G-scan is a medical imaging device, not an in vitro 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.
