The device description and intended use focus on the mechanical function of a head holder and an MR receiving coil, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is described as an MR receiving coil and head holder used for intra-operative imaging and head stabilization during neurosurgery, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is a head holder and MR receiving coil used for intra-operative MR imaging during neurosurgery to secure the patient's head and function as an MR coil. While it's part of an MR imaging system used for diagnosis, this specific device itself does not perform diagnostic functions. It is an accessory to the imaging system.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components like a head holder, head coils, and a head frame, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a combination of a head holder and an MR receiving coil used for intra-operative MR imaging during open-skull neurosurgery. It is used to secure the patient's head and acquire MR images directly from the patient's body during a surgical procedure.
- No Sample Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples taken from the patient.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical imaging equipment and patient positioning/securing devices used in a surgical setting, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Principal Device as 7. Compared with the predicate Device
In comparison to the existing OR head holders, the OR Head Holder Flexibility PN: 114464 includes only some minor mechanical changes which contribute to more flexibility in patient positioning. According to our internal evaluations as well the external tests done by VDE the new components such as Z-joint meet the requirements of IEC 60601-1 3.ed (clause 9.8) and do not adversely affect the safety of the design.
8. General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns
The NORAS OR Head Holder Flexibility combined with the NORAS OR Head Coil 1.5T / 3T will conform to the FDA recognized NEMA Standards for the measurement of performance and safety parameters and the IEC standards for safety issues with the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Devices, IEC 60601-2-33:2002. This will assure that the performance of this device can be considered safe and effective when used with the currently available Siemens MAGNETOM Aera/Skyra 1.5T/3T as well as Philips Ingenia 1.5T/3T systems.
Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence 9.
NORAS MRI products GmbH believes that, within the definition of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, the NORAS OR Head Holder Flexibility is substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above.
