Intended Use
The Superstar 0.35T 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 MRI system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by MRI 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. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination. The indications for use are as follows: Anatomical Region: Head, Neck, Shoulder, Breast, Wrist, Ankle Body, Spine, Extremities Nucleus excited: Proton Diagnostic uses: T1,T2, proton density weighted imaging Diffusion weighted imaging MR Angiography Imaging processing Imaging capabilities: 2D, 3D Spin Echo( SE ) Turbo spin echo (TSE) Short time inversion recovery (STIR); Fast STIR, IRFFE, IRSE, Fast IR, IR TSE Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR); Fast FLAIR 2D,3D Fast Field Echo (FFE) T1/T2/N-Fast field echo (FFE); B-Fast filed echo (B-FFE);N/B-Fast filed echo 3D; T1-Fast field echo 3D; Dual echo (DE);DTSE; DSE; MR angiography FE, FFE 3D; Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) -SE-EPI -Diffusion DW-EPI
Device Description
The Superstar 0.35T is a 0.35T permanent magnet MRJ system. The magnet is mainly made of NdFeB material. The system software based on Windows (TM) is an interactive program with user-friendly interface. Its functions cover scanning control, image reconstruction and image/archive management and maintenance.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard MRI system and its imaging capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance study sections. While it mentions "image processing," this is a broad term that does not necessarily imply AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an "imaging device" and its purpose is to "provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination," not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the images provided by the device, "When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination." This indicates its role in aiding diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "0.35T permanent magnet MRJ system" and mentions the magnet is made of "NdFeB material," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Superstar 0.35T is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: An IVD device is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Superstar 0.35T's Function: The Superstar 0.35T is an imaging device that produces images of the internal structure of the body non-invasively. It does not examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it provides physiological and clinical information obtained non-invasively.
  • Input Modality: The input modality is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which is an in vivo imaging technique.

Therefore, the Superstar 0.35T falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic 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.

Statement of Substantial Equivalence:

The Superstar 0.35T system is comparable and substantially equivalent to the Superopen 0.35T MRI system (K030918, another product of Neusoft ) and Panorama Enhancements (K024042) in that they are similar in technology and intended uses. Both of these systems are open-magnet MR Imaging System, use Gradient Subsystem to provide controlled and uniform gradient magnet fields in the X, Y and Z planes, and use RF Subsystem to complete the function of RF signal transmitting/receiving and processing. Image reconstruction is controlled by console's computer that has an interactive user interface, and the system produces 2D and 3D image that can be filmed or electronically stored for future review. Both of these systems have the traditional MRI unit.

Dear Mr. Borsai:

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 is a black and white circular logo. The logo has the letters "PA" in a bold, sans-serif font in the center. Above the letters "PA" is the text "1906-1986". Below the letters "PA" is the word "Centennial" in a cursive font. Below the word "Centennial" are three stars. The logo is surrounded by a dotted border.

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:

21 CFR 876.xxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
