Intended Use
G-scan Brio is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal and coronal and oblique cross-section images of the limbs, joints and spinal column. It is intended for imaging portions of the upper limb, including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder, imaging portions of the lower limb, including the foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh and hip, imaging the temporomandibular joint and imaging the cervical spine and the lumbar spine sections as portions of the spinal column. G-scan Brio images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that determine magnetic resonance properties and are dependent on the MR parameters, including spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and "chemical shift". When interpreted by a medical expert trained in the use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information.

These modifications, which do not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device, are the following: - PC Unit with GPU Card and LCD monitor NEC model P242W . - A new Software version including the following features: . - 1. 3D acquisitions: SpeedUp technique - 2. 3D acquisitions: Elliptical filling of k-space technique - 3. Myelographic contrast technique - A new operating system and database engine: . - 1. Operating system Microsoft Windows VISTA Ultimate 64 bit platform - 2. Database based on the built-in Microsoft SQL Server database Engine
More Information

No
The document describes improvements to the system's performance through hardware upgrades (GPU, monitor) and software features related to image acquisition techniques (SpeedUp, Elliptical filling, Myelographic contrast). It explicitly states that the modifications "do not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device." There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts in the description of the changes or the device's functionality. The document also explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No.
The device is an imaging system intended for diagnostic purposes (producing images and providing diagnostically useful information), not for treating conditions.

Yes
The device produces images that, when interpreted by a medical expert, can provide diagnostically useful information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Magnetic Resonance (MR) system" and lists hardware components like a "PC Unit with GPU Card and LCD monitor". While it includes new software features, it is clearly a hardware system with integrated software, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device produces images of anatomical structures (limbs, joints, spinal column). It is used to provide "diagnostically useful information" when interpreted by a medical expert. This is characteristic of an imaging device used for diagnosis based on visual interpretation of anatomical structures, not for testing samples of human origin in vitro.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the hardware and software components related to image acquisition and processing. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for testing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Use of reagents or assays
    • Diagnosis of diseases or conditions based on in vitro testing

This device is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging system, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Ms. Scott:

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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
