No
The description mentions "non-linear reconstruction method" but does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI or ML techniques. The focus is on exploiting image sparsity and undersampling k-space.
No
The device is described as an imaging technique to increase scan speed and reduce acquisition time for MRI systems, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
No
The device, SpeedUp, is described as a software option for MRI systems that increases scan speed by reducing acquisition time. Its purpose is to improve the efficiency of image acquisition, not to provide diagnostic information or interpret medical conditions.
No
The device is described as a "software option intended for use on G-scan and O-scan Esaote MRI systems," indicating it is an add-on to existing hardware systems, not a standalone software device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description clearly states that SpeedUp is an "imaging technique to increase scan speed reducing the acquisition time." It focuses on improving the efficiency of the MRI scan itself, not on analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information derived from those samples.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "software option intended for use on G-scan and O-scan Esaote MRI systems" and describes its function in terms of image acquisition and reconstruction.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens.
This device falls under the category of medical imaging software that enhances the performance of an imaging system. While the resulting images are used for diagnosis, the software itself is not performing an in vitro diagnostic test.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
SpeedUp is an imaging technique to increase scan speed reducing the acquisition time. The sparsity which is implicit in MR images is exploited to significantly undersample the k-space, resulting in incoherent artifacts (noise like). Time is decreased reducing the number of acquired k-space lines (i.e. undersampling) and the final image can be reconstructed accurately with an appropriate non-linear reconstruction method.

§ 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 Ms. Scott:
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

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
