No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on the hardware components and standard performance metrics for MR coils. The "AI" in the device name appears to be part of the product branding rather than indicating the use of AI/ML technology within the device's function.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic imaging device accessory used to produce images and spectra for displaying the internal structure of the breast, not for therapeutic purposes.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device accessory".

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "receive only MR coil," which is a hardware component used in Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "diagnostic imaging device accessory to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure of the breast." This describes a device used for in vivo imaging, not for testing samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details an "MR coil for imaging the human breast," which is consistent with an in vivo imaging device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical imaging device accessory, not an IVD.

§ 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.

III. Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting Substantial Equivalence

Intended Use

The 16 Ch AI Breast Coil 1.5 T and the 16 Ch AI Breast Coil 3 T are indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device accessory to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure of the breast.

Device Description

The 16 Ch AI Breast Coil 1.5 T and the 16 Ch AI Breast Coil 3 T are receive only MR coils for imaging the human breast. Both coils consist of 16 coil elements. Two housing halves each contain eight independent coil elements. Seven of each are arranged in a cylindrical geometry while one element is positioned in a horizontal plane at top of the cylinder faced outwards.

Equivalency Information

Rapid Biomedical believes that the 16 Ch AJ Breast Coil 1.5 T and 3 T is substantially equivalent to the cleared CP Breast Array Coil for MAGNETOM Harmony and Symphony systems and the described in the following submission:

Predicate Device NameFDA Clearance NumberFDA Clearance Date
CP BREAST ARRAY COILK97363012/05/1997

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Principal Device as compared with the Predicate Device

In contrast to the predicate device, the 16 Ch AI Breast Coils 1.5 T and 3 T consist of 16 coil elements as opposed to 4. Furthermore, the 16 Ch AI Breast Coil 3 T is designed for a field strength of 3 T. We believe, however, that both coils are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The following safety and performance parameters:

[Safety]

  • Maximum Static Field
  • Rate of Change of Magnetic Field
  • RF Power Deposition
  • Acoustic Noise Level

[Performance-Imaging]

  • Geometric Distortion
  • Slice Profile, Thickness and Gap
  • High Contrast Spatial Resolution

2

[Performance-Spectroscopy]

  • Spatial Localization Accuracy
  • Peak Assignment Accuracy
  • Solvent Suppression
  • Decoupling

specified by the FDA Guidance document for MR Diagnostic Devices are unaffected by the modifications described within this notification.

The following parameters were considered for the new 16 Ch AI Breast Coil Kit 1.5 T and 3 T:

[Safety] - Biocompatibility

[Performance-Imaging]

  • Signal to Noise Ratio
  • Image Uniformity

[Performance-Spectroscopy]

  • Spectral Resolution
  • Signal to Noise Ratio

No new materials were used for the new 16 Ch AI Breast Coil Kit 1.5 T and 3 T compared to the predicate device. Therefore no biocompatibility tests were performed. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and image uniformity tests according to IEC 62464-1 were performed for the new 16 Ch AI Breast Coil Kit 1.5 T and 3 T and the results presented in this submission show that they are equivalent with the predicate devices. Furthermore, spectroscopic tests on SNR and spectral resolution were carried out.

Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence

Laboratory testing was performed to support this claim of substantial equivalence and to show that the technological differences do not raise any new questions pertaining to safety and effectiveness.
