Intended Use
The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is a receive only phased array RF coil used to produce diagnostic images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvic area in Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems that can be interpreted by a trained physician. The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is designed for use with the 3.0T HD Series MR System manufactured by General Electric Healthcare (GEHC). The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is intended to be used in the abdomen, pelvis, and chest regions for 2D and 3D magnetic resonance imaging and parallel body imaging for use on 3.0T GE HD series Magnetic Resonance scanners.
Device Description
The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is a multi-element phased array receive only coil used for obtaining diagnostic images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvic area in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems. The coil consists of 2 antenna arrays; a posterior and an anterior. The posterior array contains 17 elements to achieve 16 channels and is enclosed in a rigid housing. The anterior array also contains 17 elements to achieve the later 16 channels but is enclosed in a flexible housing. The coil is wrapped around the patient's torso with hook and loop straps. The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is for use with the GE 3.0T HD Series MR System (K052293)
More Information

No
The document describes a physical RF coil for MRI, not software or algorithms that would typically incorporate AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing algorithms, or performance metrics related to AI/ML.

No
This device is described as a receive-only phased array RF coil used to produce diagnostic images, not to treat any condition.

Yes

The device is explicitly stated to produce diagnostic images and is used for obtaining diagnostic images in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems.

No

The device description explicitly details physical hardware components (antenna arrays, rigid and flexible housing, hook and loop straps) that are integral to its function as an RF coil for MRI. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, 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.
  • Device function: The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is a component of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. It's a receive-only RF coil used to acquire signals from the patient's body during an MRI scan.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to produce diagnostic images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvic area in vivo (within the living body).
  • No mention of samples: The description and intended use do not involve testing any samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is a medical device used for in vivo imaging, 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 Mr. Lehtonen

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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device ean 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.
