Intended Use
The BrainAcquireRx™ / BrainProcessRx™ Data Suite is software used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance scanner to acquire and process blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other MRI data sets. The BrainAcquireRx software application presents a scripted series of synchronized visual and/or auditory stimuli and/or cognitive/motor tasks to the patient being scanned. The patient's responses and image data from the MRI scanner are stored for use by the BrainProcessRx application, which performs post-processing for quality control and subsequent viewing of fMRI and other MRI data. These applications can also be used to assist in scripted data acquisition and post-processing of anatomical, functional, and physiologic MR imagery including magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and MR diffusion. The integration of these data, when interpreted by a trained physician, yields information that may assist in the diagnosis of brain pathology and the planning and monitoring of medical treatments.
Device Description
The software provides support for functional MRI (fMRI) data acquisition and post-processing, as well as other anatomical, functional and physiologic MRI studies. BrainAcquireRx provides a scripted approach to performing fMRI and other functional, anatomical and physiologic MRI studies. BrainProcessRx performs post-processing of fMRI and other data sets. The processed data is ready for report generation utilizing the Kyron BrainViewRx™ Viewer.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes standard fMRI data acquisition and processing software without mentioning any AI or ML techniques. The processing described appears to be traditional signal processing and data integration.

No
This device is described as software used to acquire and process MRI and fMRI data for diagnostic purposes, assisting in the diagnosis of brain pathology and treatment planning/monitoring. It does not directly provide therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "may assist in the diagnosis of brain pathology."

No

The device is described as software, but it is used "in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance scanner" and involves "scripted data acquisition" and "patient's responses and image data from the MRI scanner are stored". This implies a direct interaction and reliance on the hardware of the MRI scanner, which is a medical device itself, and the software is part of a larger system that includes hardware. While the submission focuses on the software, the device's function is intrinsically linked to and dependent on the MRI hardware for data acquisition.

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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device function: The BrainAcquireRx™ / BrainProcessRx™ Data Suite works with an MRI scanner to acquire and process imaging data from within the patient's body. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Input: The input is imaging data from an MRI scanner, not biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to assist in the diagnosis of brain pathology and the planning and monitoring of medical treatments based on imaging data, not laboratory analysis of specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software, 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.

Dear Dr. Reuss:

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.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a logo with the text "FDA Centennial 1906-2006". The logo is circular in shape and has stars around the edge. The text "Protecting and Promoting Public Health" is written in a cursive font below the logo.

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.

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:
