No
The document describes MRI coils and standard image processing techniques, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is used for MRI imaging, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The device is described as being used for "MRI imaging," which is a diagnostic procedure. The text also mentions "imaging of the upper spine and torso" and "imaging of the extremities," and the reconstruction of "images depicting the spatial distribution of the NMR characteristics" using "image processing techniques," further indicating its role in generating images for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "receive-only multiple array device," which is a hardware component used in MRI systems.
Based on the provided information, no, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The description clearly states that these devices are "receive-only multiple array devices used for MRI imaging." MRI is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging technique. It directly images the internal structures of the body using magnetic fields and radio waves.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "MRI imaging of the upper spine and torso" and "MRI imaging of the extremities." This is a diagnostic imaging procedure performed on a living patient, not a laboratory test on a biological sample.
The mentions of "image processing techniques" are related to reconstructing the MRI images from the received signals, which is a standard part of the MRI process, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
Therefore, these devices are medical imaging devices, specifically MRI coils, and do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MR system 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 ECHELON Specialty Coils are receive-only devices that defect the MR signal used to produce transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and/or curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of the body. The images produced by the MR system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.
The indications for use for the ECHELON Specialty Coils are as follows:
- The MR-NVC-150N, RAPID Neurovascular (NV) Attachment Coil is a receive-only . multiple array device used for MRI imaging of the upper spine and torso. It is designed to be used the Hitachi Echelon 1.5T MRI system.
- The MR-RWC-150N, RAPID Small Extremity Coil is a receive-only multiple array device . used for MRI imaging of the extremities. It is designed to be used the Hitachi Echelon 1.5T MRI system.

Device Description
Function
The MR-NVC-150N, ECHELON RAPID Neurovascular Attachment Coil is a receive-only multiple array device used for MRI imaging of the upper spine and torso.
The MR-RWC-150N. ECHELON RAPID Small Extremity Coil is a receive-only multiple arrav device used for MRI imaging of the extremities.
Scientific Concepts
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is based on the fact that certain atomic nuclei have electromagnetic properties that cause them to act as small spinning bar magnets. The most ubiquitous of these nuclei is hydrogen, which makes it the primary nuclei currently used in magnetic resonance imaging. When placed in a static magnetic field, these nuclei assume a net orientation or alignment with the magnetic field, referred to as a net magnetization vector. The introduction of a short burst of radiofrequency (RF) excitation of a wavelength specific to the magnetic field strength and to the atomic nuclei under consideration can cause a re-orientation of the net magnetization vector. When the RF excitation is removed, the protons relax and return to their original vector. The rate of relaxation is exponential and varies with the character of the proton and its adjacent molecular environment. This re-orientation process is characterized by two exponential relaxation times, called T1 and T2.
A RF emission or echo that can be measured accompanies these relaxation events. The emissions are used to develop a representation of the relaxation events in a three dimensional matrix. Spatial localization is encoded into the echoes by varying the RF excitation, applying appropriate magnetic field gradients in the x, y, and z directions, and changing the direction and strength of these gradients. Images depicting the spatial distribution of the NMR characteristics can be reconstructed by using image processing techniques similar to those used in computed tomography.
Physical and Performance Characteristics
he MR-NVC-150N. ECHELON RAPID Neurovascular Attachment Coil is a receive-only device suitable for imaging of the upper spine and torso. The coil consists of 4 or 7 elements. The signal output of each element is independently processed by the MRI system to enhance performance.

(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.
