Intended Use
The intended use of the Noras OR head coil 1.5 T is, in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner, the MR examination of the human brain just before, during and at the end of the brain surgery in the operating room. The coil can also be used as a standard diagnostic head coil for diagnostic examinations and fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging). Used in the 1.5T MAGNETOM Systems, it is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures of the head. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining diagnosis.
Device Description
The OR Head Coil 1.5T is an 8-channel phased array coil. The coil is divided into a bottom and a top array of 4 channels each. Each channel is tuned to the Larmor frequency of the 1H spin in a magnetic field of 1.5T, 63.6 MHz. Each coil is connected to the MAGNETOM system by a separate cable. Use of the OR Head Coil 1.5T requires the Siemens OR Head Holder.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard MRI head coil and its technical specifications. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic imaging device" used to produce images for determining diagnosis, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device" and that the images it produces "can be useful in determining diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components (8-channel phased array coil, cables) and its function is to acquire MR images, which is a hardware-dependent process. The summary also mentions performance studies related to NEMA and IEC standards for hardware safety and performance.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Noras OR head coil 1.5 T is a component of a Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanner. It is used to acquire images of the human brain and head directly from the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "MR examination of the human brain" and "diagnostic imaging device to produce... images of the internal structures of the head." This involves imaging the patient directly, not analyzing a sample taken from the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Noras OR head coil 1.5 T is a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

6. Substantial Equivalence

Noras and Siemens believe that, within the meaning of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, the 8-channel phased array OR head coil 1.5T for the Magnetom Systems is substantially equivalent to the following coil:

MRI Devices
Corporation (Now
Known as Invivo
Corporation)
High Resolution Head
Coil -Model HRH-63-8K013159October 16, 2001

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Principal Device as 7. Compared with the predicate Device

Although the MRI Devices High Resolution Head Coil is limited for use outside the operating room, we believe that both coils are substantially equivalent.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns 8.

The OR Head Coil 1.5T will conform to the FDA recognized NEMA Standards for the measurement of performance and safety parameters and the IEC standards for safety issues with the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Devices, IEC 60601-2-33: 2002. This will assure that the performance of this device can be considered safe and effective when used with the currently available MAGNETOM 1.5T systems.

The NEMA Tests can be found in Appendix C. The NEMA Tests were done on Software platform syngo MR2004A. We have included the Common Risk Analysis for syngo MR2006A, which is the same functionality as syngo platform MR 2004A. We believe the NEMA tests on the Symphony are applicable to all MAGNETOM 1.5T systems.

Dear Ms. Campbell:

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.
