Intended Use
The Discovery MR750w 3.0T 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 Discovery MR750w 3.0T 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 Discovery MR750w 3.0T features a superconducting magnet operating at 3.0 Tesla. The data acquisition system accommodates up to 32 independent receive channels in various increments, and multiple independent coil elements per channel during a single acquisition series. The system uses a 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 Discovery MR750w 3.0T uses multi-drive RF transmit for imaging of the head and body regions. The Discovery MR750w 3.0T is designed to conform to NEMA DICOM standards.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard MR scanner and its components, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No.
The device's intended use is explicitly stated as a "diagnostic imaging device" to produce images and/or spectra that, "when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis." It does not mention any therapeutic function or intent to treat.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device."

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as a superconducting magnet, data acquisition system, and RF transmissions, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Discovery MR750w 3.0T is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanner. It produces images of the internal structures and functions of the body in vivo (within the living body) using magnetic fields and radio waves. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is 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". This describes an imaging modality, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Discovery MR750w 3.0T is a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The subject of this premarket submission, Discovery MR750w 3.0T, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence. Internal scans were conducted as part of validation for workflow and image quality. The clinical results demonstrated that the Discovery MR750w 3.0T maintains the same imaging performance results as its predicate device, the Discovery MR750w 3.0T (K103327). Sample clinical images are included in this submission.

§ 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)
