The Brivo MR355 is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and/or spectra, dynamic images of the structures and/or functions of the entire body, including, but not limited to, head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. Depending on the region of interest being imaged, contrast agents may be used. The images produced by the Brivo MR355 reflect the spatial distribution or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
The modified Brivo MR355 adds (1) one dedicated coil: 4-ch Breast Array Coil: (2) two clinical applications: VIBRANT and 3D FIESTA-C. The coil and clinical applications are standard for predicate Optima MR360 (K103330). All utilize superconducting magnets, gradients, and radio frequency coils and electronics to acquire data in single voxel, two dimensional, or three dimensional datasets. The 1.5T Brivo MR355 features a superconducting magnet at 1:5 Tesla. The data acquisition system operating accommodates up to 8 independent receive channels in various increments, and multiple independent coil elements per channel The system uses a during a single acquisition series. combination of time-varying magnetic fields (gradients) and RF transmissions to obtain information regarding the density and position of elements exhibiting magnetic resonance. The system can image in the sagittal, coronal, axial, oblique and double oblique planes, using various pulse sequences and reconstruction algorithms. The 1.5T Brivo MR355 is designed to conform to NEMA DICOM standards (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine).
The provided text focuses on the 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission for the GE 1.5T Brivo MR355 Magnetic Resonance Imaging System. It describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
However, the document explicitly states:
"The subject of this premarket submission, GE 1.5T Brivo MR355, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."
Therefore, the submission does not contain information related to acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets said criteria. The GE 1.5T Brivo MR355 achieved regulatory clearance based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device (K103330, GE 1.5T Brivo MR355/Optima MR360) and compliance with medical standards through non-clinical tests (e.g., risk analysis, requirements reviews, design reviews, performance testing, safety testing, internal and external evaluation).
Because no clinical study was required or performed for this specific submission to demonstrate acceptance criteria, the following requested information cannot be provided from the given text:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: Not applicable as no such study was conducted.
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
- 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: Not applicable, as this is an MR imaging device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool in the context of this submission.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): Not applicable.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
§ 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.
