Intended Use

The MRI system is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging modality that produces crosssectional transaxial, coronal, sagittal, and oblique images that display anatomic structures of the head or body. In addition, this system supports non-contrast MRA. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that exhibit nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR properties of body tissues and fluids are:

  • Proton density (PD) (also called hydrogen density)
  • Spin-lattice relaxation time (T1)
  • Spin-spin relaxation time (T2)
  • Flow dynamics
  • Chemical shift
    Contrast agent use is restricted to the approved drug indications. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in diagnosis.
Device Description

The new Vantage Titan (Model MRT-1504/U4) MRI System is comparable to the current 1.5T Vantage Titan MRI System. The Vantage Titan uses the same magnet as the current Vantage Titan (K080038). However, the following modifications have been added: a redefinition of gradient strength, magnet cover and cabinet's configuration changes. In addition, two applications software: Diffusion Tensor Tractography (DTT), and PaceMaker.

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) premarket notification describes modifications to an existing MRI system (Vantage Titan) rather than a new AI medical device requiring extensive performance studies. The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to established safety and performance standards for MRI systems, rather than clinical performance metrics for an AI algorithm.

Here's a breakdown of the provided information, framed to address your questions where possible:

Study Information (as applicable to this device modification):

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    • Test Set: Not applicable in the sense of a clinical trial with patient data to evaluate an AI algorithm's performance. The "testing" referred to in this submission is related to engineering verification and validation of hardware and software changes, and demonstrating compliance with safety and performance standards. This would involve internal testing, phantom studies, and potentially a limited number of human scans to confirm functionality and safety, but not a large-scale clinical test set for diagnostic accuracy.
    • Data Provenance: Not specified for a clinical test set. The validation would have been performed by Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation, likely in Japan (manufacturing site).
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    • Not applicable as this is not a study establishing ground truth for a diagnostic AI algorithm. The safety and performance evaluations would involve engineers and potentially clinical experts to review images and system functionality, but not in the capacity of creating a "ground truth" for a diagnostic accuracy study.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

    • Not applicable for the type of submission. Adjudication methods are typically for clinical trials assessing diagnostic accuracy, which is not the focus here.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

    • No. This submission is for modifications to an MRI scanner and the addition of specific imaging sequences (DTT, PaceMaker), not for an AI-assisted diagnostic tool requiring a MRMC study.
  5. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

    • No. The "applications software" (DTT and PaceMaker) are features of the MRI system, designed to aid in image acquisition and processing, not standalone diagnostic algorithms.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

    • Not applicable in the context of diagnostic "ground truth." For hardware and software functionality, ground truth would be established through engineering specifications, phantom measurements, and known physical principles. For the new software features (DTT, PaceMaker), ground truth would relate to their ability to correctly perform their intended function (e.g., generate diffusion tensor tracts, accurately gate cardiac images) as measured against established technical benchmarks and clinical expectations.
  7. The sample size for the training set:

    • Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm that learns from a training set of labeled data in the conventional sense. The "training" for the software applications would be their development and optimization by engineers.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

    • Not applicable, as there isn't a "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm learning from data. The functionality of DTT and PaceMaker would be based on well-established MR physics and clinical needs.

Dear Mr. Biggins:

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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

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 Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

§ 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.
