Intended Use
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.
Device Description
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).

No
The document describes standard MRI technology and image processing techniques without mentioning AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic imaging device" used to "assist in diagnosis," not to provide therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device... The images produced by the Brivo MR355... when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as superconducting magnets, gradients, radio frequency coils, and electronics, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Brivo MR355 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "diagnostic imaging device" that produces images and/or spectra. These are interpreted by a trained physician to assist in diagnosis. IVD devices, on the other hand, are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a magnetic resonance scanner that uses physical principles (magnetic fields and RF transmissions) to acquire data from the entire body. This is a direct imaging technique performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Lack of Mention of Specimens: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological specimens.

Therefore, the Brivo MR355 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.
