Intended Use

The 16 Channel Shoulder Coil is to be used in conjunction with Magnetic Resonance Scanners to produce diagnostic images of the shoulder that can be interpreted by a trained physician.

Device Description

The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are designed for use with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. The coil is designed to work in unison with the Body Coil of the MRI system, which will transmit the radio frequency (RF) signals, so that the coil may receive the resultant RF signal from the excited nuclei.

The proposed 1.5T and 3T 16Ch GE Shoulder Coils are identical to each other in construction with the exception that they are tuned to their respective frequencies and additional cable trap baluns are included on the 3T coil due to the shorter wavelengths associated with 3T. The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are designed as receive-only coils for high resolution diagnostic imaging of shoulder. The coils provide unilateral images (Left and Right) of the anatomy of interest.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coils (1.5T and 3.0T 16CH GE Shoulder Coils). While it describes the device, its intended use, and its similarities to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI-powered diagnostic device.

This document is for a physical medical device (an MRI coil), and its "performance" is evaluated through non-clinical bench testing (SNR, image uniformity) and a clinical demonstration focusing on image quality for interpretation by a physician. It is not a document for an AI/ML-based diagnostic device where "acceptance criteria" would typically refer to metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC, and "ground truth" would be established by expert consensus or biopsy.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device (in the context of an AI diagnostic tool) meets those criteria, as the provided text describes a physical MRI coil and its FDA clearance process.

Here's why each point you requested is not applicable or not explicitly detailed in the provided text for an AI/ML context:

  1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance: The document states "Non-clinical verification and validation test results demonstrate that the proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils... Meets the acceptance criteria and is adequate for its intended use." However, it does not provide a specific table of quantitative acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance (like sensitivity/specificity thresholds) or the numerical results against these criteria. It mentions tests for SNR and image uniformity and that a clinical radiologist reviewed images to confirm adequate quality, but no numerical thresholds or results are given.
  2. Sample size for the test set and data provenance: The document mentions "clinical demonstrations" and "Clinical Images review by Radiologist" but does not specify the sample size of these clinical demonstrations (number of patients/cases) or the data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective).
  3. Number of experts and qualifications for ground truth: "a clinical radiologist" is mentioned as reviewing the DICOM images for adequacy. The number of radiologists is not specified (e.g., singular "a radiologist" could imply one, but is not definitive for a study), nor are their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience). For an AI device, this would typically involve multiple, highly qualified experts.
  4. Adjudication method: Not applicable/not mentioned. Ground truth for an AI device involves multiple readers and an adjudication process. Here, it's a "clinical radiologist" reviewing images for overall adequacy, not to establish a precise diagnostic ground truth for an AI algorithm.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study: Not done. This is not an AI-assisted device.
  6. Standalone performance: The performance mentioned (SNR, uniformity) is inherent to the coil's function, not a diagnostic decision made by an algorithm.
  7. Type of ground truth used: For image quality, it was radiologist review of image adequacy ("confirm the image quality is adequate"). This is different from establishing a diagnostic ground truth (e.g., presence/absence of disease confirmed by pathology) for an AI algorithm.
  8. Sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires training data.
  9. How ground truth for training set was established: Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document details the regulatory pathway for a conventional MRI coil, not an AI-powered diagnostic device. The concepts of "acceptance criteria" and "study" in the context of AI diagnostic performance metrics are not applicable to this document.

Device Description:

The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are designed for use with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. The coil is designed to work in unison with the Body Coil of the MRI system, which will transmit the radio frequency (RF) signals, so that the coil may receive the resultant RF signal from the excited nuclei.

The proposed 1.5T and 3T 16Ch GE Shoulder Coils are identical to each other in construction with the exception that they are tuned to their respective frequencies and additional cable trap baluns are included on the 3T coil due to the shorter wavelengths associated with 3T. The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are designed as receive-only coils for high resolution diagnostic imaging of shoulder. The coils provide unilateral images (Left and Right) of the anatomy of interest.

Variations between the proposed 1.5T and 3T 16Ch GE Shoulder Coils and the predicate devices HRS-63-8 and HRS-127-8 Shoulder Array Coils include MR system compatibility and a 16-channel connection to the MRI system. Mechanical design changes include modifications to the connector to permit the 16-channel connection and the specified MR system compatibility. In addition, modifications to the housing from three-part adjustable to two-part adjustable design improves workflow as well as meets customer requirements.

System Compatibility:

The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are designed to be used with GE 1.5T and 3.0T MRI Systems respectively. The Models 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are 16-channel receive-only coils. Models 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils include identical coils with slight variations between system connectors to allow compatibility with respective MRI Scanners.

The Model 1.5T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coil will operate with the GE 1.5T MRI Scanners such as GE Signa Voyager MRI Scanner and the Model 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coil will operate with GE 3.0T MRI Scanners such as GE Signa Pioneer MRI Scanner.

Patient Safety

Description of design that assures that the coil will remain decoupled:

The coil incorporates a redundant decoupling strategy. Back-to-back fast recovery PIN diodes or Dual diodes are placed in series with an inductor across a capacitor. The inductor is tuned to shift the resonant frequency of the coil. During system transmitted pulses, a D.C. voltage is supplied to each channel of the array by the MRI system. This voltage drives the PIN diodes or Dual diodes they conduct, thus engaging the decoupling circuit. The coil resonant frequency then shifts away from the system resonant frequency. The coil therefore becomes a very poor receiver of RF energy at the system operating frequency during the transmit pulses.

In the event that the coil is placed in the magnet and the operator neglects to plug in the coil, the PIN diodes or Dual diodes function as a passive decoupling system. In this case, the decoupling takes place without the need for the voltage supplied by the MRI system.

Description of electrical isolation of the patient from the surface coil electrical conductors:

The electrical conductors are etched on FR4 printed circuit board. The circuit boards are encased in plastic housing. The plastic housing wall and/or foam is provided with a minimum of .10" thickness. At no time it is possible for the coil conductors to touch the patient.

The cable exits the coil superior to the patient's head to connect to the MRI system connector. The cables are of such a length to reach the MRI system coil part by running the cables away from patient. The cable is designed such that the cable is difficult to make the loop shape during use. The cables have insulation jackets and additional pad that increase separation of the cable if it did somehow become looped.

Indications for Use:

The 16 Channel Shoulder Coil is to be used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner to produce diagnostic images of the shoulder that can be interpreted by a trained physician.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Bench performance testing includes both non-clinical testing and clinical demonstrations of the representative anatomic region (shoulder imaging) using FDA-cleared GE 1.5T and 3.0T scanners. The non-clinical testing characterizes the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Image Uniformity and special purpose of the RF receive-only coil. The clinical demonstration DICOM images were reviewed by a clinical radiologist to confirm the image quality is adequate.

Non-clinical verification and validation test results demonstrate that the proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils

  • Comply with the device specifications, identified international and FDA-recognized . consensus standards, and device specific guidance document entitled "Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices"
  • Meets the acceptance criteria and is adequate for its intended use. .

Therefore, the proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are as safe and effective as the predicate devices (K053017) in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Summary of Clinical Data:

The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils do not require clinical study since substantial equivalence to the predicate device was demonstrated with the following attributes:

  • Design features:
  • Indication for use;
  • Technological characteristic;
  • Non-clinical performance testing, including Clinical Images review by Radiologist, and ●
  • Device Safety and effectiveness

Conclusion:

The proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices HRS-63-8 and HRS-127-8 Shoulder Array Coils (K053017). The substantial equivalency is based on design features, principles of operation, technological characteristic, indications for use, magnet system compatibility, clinical image review, and safety and effectiveness of the proposed devices. Additionally, the non-clinical performance (verification and validation) tests, which complied with the device specifications, and requirements specified in the international and FDA-recognized consensus standards demonstrated that the proposed 1.5T and 3.0T 16 Ch GE Shoulder Coils meet the acceptance criteria and are adequate for the established intended use. The electrical isolation methods, decoupling method and housing material are similar for the predicate and proposed devices.

The results of both non-clinical and device performance tests demonstrate that the proposed device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device.
