The device is described as producing diagnostic images and is designed for use with MRI systems to receive RF signals for imaging, not to provide therapy.

No

The device is an MRI coil, which is a component of an MRI system used to produce diagnostic images. The images themselves are diagnostic, but the coil itself is a receive-only component that contributes to image formation, it does not directly perform diagnosis or provide diagnostic output.

No

The device is a physical coil designed to receive RF signals in an MRI system. The description focuses on its construction, tuning, and performance characteristics related to hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to produce diagnostic images of the shoulder using Magnetic Resonance Scanners. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) diagnostic process, not in vitro (outside the body, typically involving samples like blood or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is a coil used with an MRI system to receive RF signals from the body. This is a component of an imaging system, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the 16 Channel Shoulder Coil is a medical device used for in vivo diagnostic imaging, not an IVD.

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.
