Intended Use
The MAGNETOM Aera with syngo MR D13E is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These images and/or spectra and the physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis. The MAGNETOM Aera may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR-safe biopsy needles.
Device Description
The MAGNETOM Aera is a 1.5T, utilizing a superconducting magnet design. The open bore, whole body scanner is designed for increased patient comfort The MAGNETOM Aera is being modified to include another configuration to the MAGNETOM portfolio to be available for Ex-factory (new) systems. The full modifications for the new MAGNETOM Aera configuration include 24 receive channels, modified Measurement and Reconstruction System (MaRS) and Syngo Acquisition Workplace (MRAWP)/Syngo MR Workplace(MRWP), an update to the software syngo MR D13E and the addition of three new coils to the existing MAGNETOM Aera Magnetic Resonance System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the description focuses on hardware and software updates for image acquisition and processing, which are standard for MRI devices.

No.
The device's intended use is explicitly stated as a "magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)" to produce images and/or spectra for diagnostic purposes, not for therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)" and that the information it yields "may assist in diagnosis."

No

The device description clearly states it is a 1.5T superconducting magnet system, which is a hardware component. The software update (syngo MR D13E) is part of a larger hardware system.

Based on the provided information, the MAGNETOM Aera with syngo MR D13E is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

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, outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The MAGNETOM Aera is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) device. It produces images and spectra of the internal structure and function of the body in vivo (within the living body). It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)" that produces images and spectra of the head, body, or extremities. This is consistent with in vivo imaging, not in vitro analysis.

Therefore, the MAGNETOM Aera is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro 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. Sookdeo:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. 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 Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
