Intended Use
The Discovery MR750 3.0T system 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, TMI, 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 MR750 3.0Tsystem 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 MR750 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 MR750 3.0T uses multi-drive RF transmit for imaging of the head and body regions.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard MRI system and its components, focusing on hardware and basic image reconstruction algorithms. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic imaging device" intended to "assist in diagnosis" by producing images, not for treating conditions.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device." It also mentions that the images and/or spectra produced, "when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis."

No

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

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

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 MR750 3.0T system is a magnetic resonance scanner. It produces images of the internal structures and functions of the body using magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses. It does not analyze specimens 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 in vivo (within the living body) imaging process, not an in vitro (in glass/outside the body) diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Discovery MR750 3.0T system is a diagnostic imaging device, not an IVD.

In addition, the Discovery MR750 3.0T system in compliance with the applicable NEMA standards, including NEMA PS3.1-3.20 for DICOM conformance.

The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the system:

  • . Risk Analysis
  • Requirements Reviews ●
  • Design Reviews ●
  • . Testing on unit level (Module verification)
  • . Integration testing (System verification)
  • Performance testing (Verification)
  • Safety testing (Verification)
  • . Simulated use testing (Validation)

The non-clinical tests have been summarized in the verification testing that was completed for the addition of the multi-drive RF transmit mode. The testing was completed with passing results per the pass/fail criteria defined in the test cases. This supports substantial equivalence to its predicates because it was also developed under quality assurance Design Controls. In addition, Discovery MR750 3.0T is in compliance to the same Standards.

Summary of Clinical Tests:

The subject of this premarket submission, Discovery MR750 3.0T, did not require external clinical studies to support substantial equivalence. Internal scans were conducted as part of validation for workflow and image quality for the addition of the new feature. The clinical results demonstrated that the Discovery MR750 3.0T maintains the same imaging performance results as its predicate device (K132376). Sample clinical images are included in this submission.

  • Conclusion: GE Healthcare considers the Discovery MR750 3.0T to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s).
