The description focuses solely on the physical design and components of an MRI coil, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The document explicitly states the coil does not require software changes to the MRI system.
No
The device is described as a receive-only RF coil for obtaining diagnostic images, which means it aids in diagnosis rather than providing therapy.
Yes
The device is described as being "used for obtaining diagnostic images" and is used in conjunction with an MRI system, which is a diagnostic imaging modality.
No
The device is a physical MRI coil with mechanical components and coil elements, not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil is a component of an MRI system. Its function is to receive radiofrequency signals from the patient's body during an MRI scan to create diagnostic images. It does not perform tests on samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "imaging of the brain, cervical spine, soft tissues and vasculature..." This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging equipment, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil is designed for use with the 1.5T MRI system manufactured by GE Healthcare. The coil is for imaging of the brain, cervical spine, soft tissues and vasculature of the head, neck, upper chest, thoracic and lumbar spine. The nucleus excited is hydrogen. The 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil is designed for use with the 1.5T MRI systems manufactured by GE Medical Systems.

Device Description
The 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil is a receive-only RF coil, used for obtaining diagnostic images of the brain, cervical spine, soft tissues and vasculature of the head, neck, upper chest, thoracic and lumbar spine in GE 1.5T MR Imaging systems.
The open design of the 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil reduces claustrophobic effects and allows for increased patient comfort. The coil elements are enclosed in a rigid plastic housing. The housing is designed to conform to the patient anatomy. The design of the coil allows for easy positioning of the patient and provides patient comfort.
The mechanical housing of 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil consists of four main parts: (1) a main head coil base, (2) a split-top head coil housing (3) a chest coil housing and (4) a T-L Spine housing. The chest coil housing is free floating and it rests on the patient's chest.
The 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil has an array of 21 coil elements in the Brain Unit and 8 coil elements in the Spine Unit; The 21 coil elements in the brain unit are Loop elements. Twelve loop coils (L1 to L12) cover the head region. Another four loop coils (L13 to L16) cover the Lower neck and torso regions. Five Loop coils (L17 to L21) cover the upper neck and the chest region. The Spine Unit has an array of four loop coils and four saddle coils which cover the thoracic and lumbar spine regions.
For operation, the 1.5T Brain / Spine Array Coil does not require any change to the software used on the GE Medical Systems Inc. 1.5T MRI system.

§ 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.

| 10. Comparison with Predicate: | The 1.5T Brain / Spine Array is a modification of the existing
cleared USA Instruments Millennium 9000 Phased Array
Neurovascular coil (K001870) with the main difference being the
physically integration of the antenna and shape of the Premier
CTL coil with the antenna and shape of the Millennium 9000
Phase Array Neurovascular coil. The integration increases the
number of receive channels to 16 to make it compatible with the
GE Healthcare Signa Excite 1.5T Magnetic Resonance
Scanners. Both coils included spine imaging in their indications,
but this modification improves user workflow by allowing more
comprehensive patient coverage with a single coil. |
| 11. Summary of Studies: | Testing was performed to demonstrate that the design
modifications to the 1.5T Brain / Spine Array meet predetermined
acceptance criteria. |
