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.
    1. Electronics box.
    1. Operating console that consists of the PC unit (including keyboard and mouse), the monitor and the operating table.
    1. Receiving coils.
    1. Modular shielding box with filter panel.
AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Esaote G-scan MRI system. It describes the device, its intended use, and its technological characteristics in comparison to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the way typically expected for performance claims of a new medical device.

The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to existing legally marketed devices, primarily by comparing technical specifications. It highlights similarities and differences between the G-scan and predicate devices (E-scan XQ, AIRIS II, MAGNA SL, Magna 5000 Phased Array CTL Spine Coil, UROLOGIC table). The "Comments" sections in the tables explicitly state "Unchanged," "similar," or describe differences in technical parameters, rather than presenting a performance study with acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information based on the provided document. The document presents a technical comparison for substantial equivalence, not a performance study with defined acceptance criteria and results.

Specifically, the following information is not available in the provided text:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: This document provides technical specifications and comparisons to predicate devices, but no explicit acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance outcomes (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) and no corresponding reported performance from a clinical study.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable as no performance study is described.
  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable as no performance study is described.
  4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable as no performance study is described.
  5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. The device described is an MRI system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and no human-in-the-loop study is mentioned.
  6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. The device is a traditional MRI system, not an algorithm.
  7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable as no performance study is described.
  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.
  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Ms. Graham:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act): 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{9}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

21 CFR 876.xxxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
21 CFR 884.xxxx(Obstetrics/Gynecology)240-276-0115
21 CFR 892.xxxx(Radiology)240-276-0120
Other240-276-0100

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html

§ 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.
