Intended Use
The coil is indicated for use by the order of a physician to be used as an accessory to a Siemens 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner for general human anatomy imaging as supported by the scanner. These images, when interpreted by a trained physician, may assist in medical diagnosis.
Device Description
The Siemens 3.0T Blanket Array Coil embeds an MRI antenna set within a quilt-like enclosure providing high-quality images of general human anatomy. It is flexible enough to wrap snuggly around small bodies as well as large adult extremities so it can be used to image those challenging regions such as bilateral brachial plexus, bilateral lower extremities, and even heads. This lightweight SemiFlex™ design facilitates effortless and accurate positioning and ensures the multiple antenna elements as close as possible to the target anatomies regardless of patient size. The Blanket Array Coil is an MRI coil contained within a water-resistant case, featuring a soft and cleanable cover. What the patient feels is a lightweight, warm and soothing blanket. What the radiologist sees is a flawless image without compromising comfort. The underlying technology and materials used for manufacture are identical to standard MRI coil technology that has existed for several years. The coil uses similar blocking networks and impedance matching circuits, and it does not transmit energy into the patient, neither predicate nor current submission.

The device description explicitly states that the underlying technology and materials are identical to standard MRI coil technology that has existed for several years, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the document.

No.
The device is described as an accessory to a magnetic resonance scanner for general human anatomy imaging to assist in medical diagnosis, and it does not transmit energy into the patient. Its flexible design is for optimal image acquisition, not for treatment.

No

The device is an accessory to a magnetic resonance scanner used for imaging. The images produced may assist in medical diagnosis, but the device itself does not perform the diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical MRI coil, which is a hardware component, not software.

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 examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an MRI coil used as an accessory to an MRI scanner. Its purpose is to acquire images of general human anatomy.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The device does not interact with or analyze any specimens taken from the patient's body. It works externally to capture magnetic resonance signals.
  • Imaging Modality: The input imaging modality is Magnetic Resonance, which is an in-vivo imaging technique, not an in-vitro diagnostic method.

The device is a medical device used for imaging, which is a different category than in-vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Tests:

  • Blocking network analysis
  • SNR and uniformity analysis
  • Risk management (including hazard analysis and FMEA)
  • Heat testing
  • Compliance testing to IEC60601-1 3rd Edition. IEC60601-1 was chosen for compliance in other world markets. A gap analysis of ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and C1:2009/(R)2012 and, a2:2010/(r)2012 with IEC60601-1 was performed and for our devices, the US deviations described by ES60601-1 do not modify the requirements of IEC60601-1. Consequently, we are compliant with ES60601-1.

Clinical Tests:

  • Analyses in all 3 planes (sagittal, coronal, and axial) were run on the Siemens 3.0T Blanket Array Coil to show that the anatomies of the submitted and predicate coils have substantial equivalence.

Device Model NumberDevice Description
516SI3001Siemens 3.0T Blanket Array Coil

Indications for Use

The coil is indicated for use by the order of a physician to be used as an accessory to a Siemens 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner for general human anatomy imaging as supported by the scanner. These images, when interpreted by a trained physician, may assist in medical diagnosis.

Technological Characteristics

The comparison between the predicate and the current submission is described, below.

    1. Design. This submission is for a dedicated coil that mav give diagnostic quality images of general human anatomy. It is a multi-channel coil with all channels designed to work at once, receive-only, in conjunction with the system body coil. The predicate multi-channel GE PROCURE™ Array Coil covers similar anatomy, also working as receive-only to the body coil. Both predicate and modified coils have resonant coil elements enclosed in semi-flexible assemblies. The modified device has been slightly modified to integrate with the Siemens MRI scanner. All design principles employed are mature and well-known throughout the industry.
    1. Principles of operation: The scientific principles of operation (magnetic resonance) are identical between the predicate and modified devices. Theory of operation is very well understood throughout the industry.
    1. Materials. The same materials are used in the construction of the predicate and modified device. All internal circuitry is encapsulated in flame retardant EVA foam, then completely covered with a nylon fabric or compressed EVA. This nylon fabric has been successfully used for over 10 years in the predicate device with no reported biocompatibility issues. Both modified and predicate devices have been tested for mechanical and electrical safety using IEC60601-1 3rd Edition, which for our application is identical to ES60601-1.
    1. Chemical Composition. Both predicate and modified devices have a successful biocompatibility track record, as demonstrated by cytotoxicity testing and by their history of use in previously cleared devices.
    1. Energy Source. This device is a receive-only coil that does not generate its own power, but rather is controlled by the MRI system as the energy source.

Non-Clinical Tests

The predicate and current submission have been subject to similar risk management studies, as listed below, and determined to be substantially equivalent.

    1. SNR and uniformity analysis
    1. Risk management (including hazard analysis and FMEA)
    1. Heat testing
    1. Compliance testing to IEC60601-1 3rd Edition. IEC60601-1 was chosen for compliance in other world markets. A gap analysis of ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and C1:2009/(R)2012 and, a2:2010/(r)2012 with IEC60601-1 was performed and for our devices, the US deviations described by ES60601-1 do not modify the requirements of IEC60601-1. Consequently, we are compliant with ES60601-1.

Clinical Tests

Analyses in all 3 planes (sagittal, coronal, and axial) were run on the Siemens 3.0T Blanket Array Coil to show that the anatomies of the submitted and predicate coils have substantial equivalence.

Substantial Equivalence Decision

As described in this summary, the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on the analysis herein. The modified device raises no new concerns of safety or efficacy.
