Intended Use
S-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal, 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, the thoracic and the lumbosacral sections as portions of the spinal column. S-scan images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that determine magnetic resonance properties and are dependent on the MR parameters, including spinlatice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and "chemical shift". When interpreted by a medical expert trained in use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information.
Device Description
The change performed on the modified S-scan, with respect to the cleared version, S-scan K153039, is due to the improvement of the system performance. This modification, which does not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device, is the introduction of the Shoulder Coil 20 code 130000014. The Shoulder Coil N.20 is a three channels receiving coil. Its intended use is for shoulder examination on the S-scan. The Shoulder Coil is a wearable rigid coil equipped with an adaptor for fast placement in the patient table. The same adaptor matches for patient laterality (left /right shoulder).
More Information

No
The summary describes a hardware modification (a new coil) to an existing MR system and does not mention any software or algorithmic changes related to AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an MR system producing images for diagnostic purposes, not for treatment.

Yes

The device produces images that, "When interpreted by a medical expert trained in use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information." This indicates its role in aiding diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the introduction of a "Shoulder Coil 20 code 130000014," which is described as a "wearable rigid coil equipped with an adaptor." This is a hardware component, indicating the device is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The S-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces images of anatomical structures within the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for imaging limbs, joints, and the spinal column to provide diagnostically useful information when interpreted by a medical expert. This is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging process, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a medical imaging device used to visualize internal structures, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

§ 892.1000 Magnetic resonance 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.

Device Description

The change performed on the modified S-scan, with respect to the cleared version, S-scan K153039, is due to the improvement of the system performance. This modification, which does not affect the intended use or alter the fundamental scientific technology of the device, is the introduction of the Shoulder Coil 20 code 130000014. The Shoulder Coil N.20 is a three channels receiving coil. Its intended use is for shoulder examination on the S-scan. The Shoulder Coil is a wearable rigid coil equipped with an adaptor for fast placement in the patient table. The same adaptor matches for patient laterality (left /right shoulder).

Intended Use

S-scan is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal, 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, the thoracic and the lumbosacral sections as portions of the spinal column. S-scan images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei)

Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of the S-scan systems with the addition of the Shoulder Coil 20 option, reflected in this Special 510(k), do not alter the scientific technology of the S-scan system and are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.

The Shoulder Coil 20 has been designed in order to have bigger dimension (to allow an increased number of possible patient examinations and an extra receiving channel) and increased image quality than the 2Ch Shoulder Coil 7 (already cleared for the S-scan system).

The 3Ch Shoulder Coil and 2Ch Shoulder Coil have a similar shape, can be tilted on their base to allow left or right shoulder examination and both are embraced by the patient during examination.

Summary of Non-Clinical Tests

The devices have been evaluated for biocompatibility, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety, and have been found to conform to the following medical device safety standards.

  • IEC 60601-1 ●
  • IEC 60601-1-2 ●
  • IEC 60601-1-6 ●

Conclusion

The changes proposed to the S-scan System are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed devices and conform to applicable medical device safety and performance standards.
