Intended Use
The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS is a 4-channel, phased array, receive-only RF coil used in conjunction with a magnetic resonance imager (MRI) to produce diagnostic and interventional images of the breast, chest wall and axillary tissues that can be interpreted by a trained physician. The device is designed to aid the physician in acquiring diagnostic breast MRI studies and interventional breast MRI studies for localization of lesions, biopsies and other interventional procedures.
Device Description
Access Breast Coil 4/SMS is a 4-channel, phased array breast coil optimized for parallel imaging of the chest wall, breast, and axillary tissue. This device is a dual purpose coil, offering both diagnostic imaging and flexibility in interventional access. The coil's open design allows for flexibility in performing interventional procedures with lateral, medial and cranial-caudal access. The design of the Access Breast Coil 4/SMS focuses on patient ergonomics, allowing for enhanced comfort during both diagnostic and interventional exams. Positioning accessories, including a headrest, armrest and torso pad, help to relieve pressure on the sternum and provide customized patient positioning during the acquisition of diagnostic and interventional breast MR1 studies. The coil consists of a supporting base and two insulating coil chambers, one for each breast. Each of the hollow coil chambers houses two coil elements that are insulated from the patient by a rigid plastic housing. The coil housing is made of plastic materials, which are fire rated and have high impact and tensile strength. The bilateral, open breast coil design offers optimized imaging capabilities and maximum access to aid the physician in localization of lesions during interventional procedures, providing lateral, medial and cranial-caudal access to the breast.

No
The description focuses on the physical design and functionality of an MRI coil, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities for image processing or analysis.

No.

The device is described as a receive-only RF coil used in conjunction with an MRI to produce diagnostic and interventional images, and it aids in acquiring diagnostic and interventional breast MRI studies for localization of lesions, biopsies, and other interventional procedures. Its purpose is to aid in diagnosis and interventional localization, not to treat a disease or condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is used "to produce diagnostic and interventional images... that can be interpreted by a trained physician" and is "designed to aid the physician in acquiring diagnostic breast MRI studies."

No

The device description explicitly details physical hardware components, including a supporting base, insulating coil chambers, coil elements, and plastic housing. It is a physical RF coil used in conjunction with an MRI machine.

No, 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS is a component used in conjunction with an MRI machine. Its function is to receive radiofrequency signals from the body during an MRI scan to produce images. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to produce diagnostic and interventional images of the breast, chest wall, and axillary tissues. This is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging procedure, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the body) diagnostic test.

The device is a medical device used for imaging, specifically Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which is a form of in vivo diagnostic imaging.

(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.

5. Comparison with Legally Marketed Devices

The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed device:

Model:Model OBC-63 Breast Array Coil
Manufacturer:MRI Devices Corporation
510(k) Number:K022488

Both breast coils are designed as receive-only RF coils, intended for use in conjunction with a magnetic resonance scanner to produce diagnostic images of the breast, chest wall, and axillary tissues that can be interpreted by a trained physician.

The predicate device is designed for use with the Siemens 1.5 MR scanners. The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS also is designed for use with the Siemens 1.5T MR scanners.

The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS and the predicate device are 4-channel, phased array coils that allow bilateral and unilateral imaging of the breast. Both of these breast coils have an open coil design to optimize imaging of breasts of various sizes.

The predicate device allows lateral access to the breast for biopsy and interventional procedures, while the Access Breast Coil 4/SMS is designed to allow for lateral, medial and cranial-caudal access to the breast.

6. Conclusions

The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS is substantially equivalent to the identified legally marketed devices. The potential hazards have been studied and controlled as part of the product development process, including risk analysis, test and design considerations, and planned verification and validation testing processes. The Access Breast Coil 4/SMS provides images comparable to the predicate devices.
