More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard MRI system and mentions image processing techniques similar to those used in computed tomography, but does not mention AI, ML, or related terms.

No
The device is described as an "imaging device" and specifically states it "is intended to provide physiological and clinical information" and for "diagnosis determination," indicating it is for diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

Yes

The device is an imaging system (MRI) that produces images displaying anatomical structures and physiological information, which can then be used by a trained physician for diagnosis determination.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Magnetic Resonance Imaging System that utilizes a 1.5 Tesla superconducting magnet," which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "imaging device" used to obtain "physiological and clinical information" through "non-invasively" produced images. It describes the process of generating images based on the magnetic resonance properties of protons within the body. This is characteristic of an imaging system used for diagnosis based on visual interpretation of internal structures.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "Magnetic Resonance Imaging System."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device operates on the patient's body to produce images.

The information provided aligns perfectly with the description of a medical imaging device, specifically an MRI system, which is distinct from an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The HHF I MR system 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 MR system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of any part of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by the MR 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. Interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.

Device Description

The HHF1 is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging System that utilizes a 1.5 Tesla superconducting magnet in an open gantry configuration. It is designed to enhance clinical utility as compared to Open MRI system, building upon the Altaire platform and incorporating the imaging properties of the 1.5T magnet. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is based on the fact that certain atomic nuclei have electromagnetic properties that cause it to act as small spinning bar magnets. The most ubiquitous of these nuclei is hydrogen, which is the primary nuclei currently used in MR imaging. When placed in a static magnetic field, these nuclei assume a net orientation or alignment with the magnetic field, referred to as a net magnetization vector. The introduction of a short burst of radiofrequency (RF) excitation of a wavelength specific to the magnetic field strength and to the atomic nuclei under consideration can cause a re-orientation of the magnetization vector. When the RF excitation is removed, the protons re-emit RF and return to their original alignment. The rate of relaxation is exponential and the protons return to their original alignment based on the character of the proton and its adjacent molecular environment. This re-emission will have characteristic exponential relaxation times, called T1 and T2. A RF emission or echo that can be measured accompanies these relaxation events. The emissions are used to develop a representation of the relaxation events in a three dimensional matrix. Spatial localization is encoded into the echoes by varying the RF excitation and by varying the magnetic field strength via magnetic gradients in the x, y, and z directions, and changing the direction and strength of these gradients. Images depicting the spatial distribution of the these emissions can be reconstructed by using image processing techniques similar to those used in computed tomography. MRI is capable of producing high quality anatomical images without the associated risks of ionizing radiation. The biological properties that contribute to MR image contrast are different from those responsible for x-ray image contrast. In MR imaging, difference in proton density, blood flow, and T1 and T2 characteristics, contribute to image contrast. By varying magnetic field gradients and RF characteristics, the resulting images can emphasize T1, T2, proton density, or the molecular diffusion of water or other proton containing molecules.
