Intended Use
The PoleStar N-30 is a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device intended to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal, and oblique 2D and 3D images of sections of be bead selected by the physician. The images produced by the PoleStar N-30 reflect the spatial distribution of protons (Hydrogen Nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spinlattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2) and T2* Anatomical regions: sections of the head selected by the physician. Nuclei excited: H-1 Diagnostic uses: T1, T2, T2* and density weighted imaging. The PoleStar N-30 is intended to be used intraoperatively in a standard operating room. When interpreted by trained physicians, the MR images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.
Device Description
The PoleStar N30 utilizes a permanent magnet to acquire 2D single-slice, multi slice, and 3d volume images. A wide variety of pulse sequences are provided to the operator, including spin echo, gradient echo, fast spin echo, and steady state free precession acquisitions. The PoleStar N30 is a widely open and compact Intraoperative MRI unit intended to be used in a typical pre-existing operating room. The PoleStar N30 can be moved within the room between procedures, from the operating table to its Magnet Storage Cabinet, thus allowing the operating room to be used for any type of surgery.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard MRI device and its capabilities, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML details.

No
The device is described as a "Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device" intended to produce images to provide "information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis," not for treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The PoleStar N-30 is a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device." It also mentions that "When interpreted by trained physicians, the MR images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly states it utilizes a permanent magnet and is an Intraoperative MRI unit, indicating it is a hardware device that acquires images.

Based on the provided information, the PoleStar N-30 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The PoleStar N-30 is a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device that produces images of sections of the head within the patient's body. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body.
  • The intended use describes imaging of anatomical regions. The device's purpose is to create images based on the magnetic resonance properties of protons within the head, not to perform tests on biological specimens.
  • The device description focuses on the imaging technology and its use in an operating room. It describes the magnet, pulse sequences, and its physical characteristics for intraoperative use.

Therefore, the PoleStar N-30 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.
