Intended Use
The Discovery MR750 3.0T, Discovery MR450 1.5T, Discovery MR750w 3.0T and the Optima MR450w 1.5T systems are whole body magnetic resonance scanners designed to support high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and or spectra, dynamic images of the structures of the entire body, including, but not limited to, head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, 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 MR750 3.0T, Discovery MR750w 3.0T and the Optima MR450w I.ST systems reflect the spaial 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 MR750 3.0T. Discovery MR450 1.5T, Discovery MR750w 3.0T and the Optima MR450w 1.5T Systems are whole body magnetic resonance scanners designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. The Systems each feature a superconducting magnet. 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. Each 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. Each system can image in the sagittal, coronal, axial, oblique, and double oblique planes, using various pulse sequences and reconstruction algorithms. The DV24 release is introducing new software features onto these existing MR Systems. There are also hardware modifications to the GEM configurations for Silenz compatibility. The Silenz feature used to reduce the acoustic noise generated during an MR examination is only available on the Optima MR450w GEM and Discovery MR750w GEM configurations. The Discovery MR750 3.0T. Discovery MR450 1.5T. Discovery MR750w 3.0T and the Optima MR450w 1.5T Systems are designed to conform to NEMA DICOM standards (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine).
More Information

No
The document describes a standard MRI system and its software updates. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states that the device is "intended for use as a diagnostic imaging device". It produces images to assist in diagnosis, not to provide therapy.

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

No

The device description explicitly states that the systems feature a superconducting magnet and hardware modifications, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with software components, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "whole body magnetic resonance scanner" that produces images of the internal structures of the body. It uses magnetic fields and RF transmissions to obtain information directly from the patient's body, not from a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to produce diagnostic images and spectra when interpreted by a trained physician to assist in diagnosis. This is consistent with in vivo imaging, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
