Patient Safety

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

Each coil incorporates a redundant decoupling strategy. A fast recovery back-to-back PIN diode pair is placed in series with an inductor across a capacitor. The inductor is tuned to shift the resonant frequency of the coil. There is also a fuse in series with the loop that would break loop resonance in event of high currents. During system transmit pulses, a DC voltage is supplied to each of the 16 channels of the array by the MRI system. This voltage drives the PIN diodes so they conduct, thus engaging the decoupling circuit. The coil resonant frequency then shifts away from the system resonant frequency. The coil thus 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 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 a flexible circuit board. The circuit board is encased in a plastic housing. The plastic housing wall and/or foam is provided with a minimum of 3 mm thickness. At no time it is possible for the coil conductors to touch the patient. The cable exits the coil inferior to the patient's foot. The cable is of such a length as to reach the MRI system

6

coil port, but has very little additional length which would allow the cable to become looped or to come in contact with the patient-a potentially hazardous condition. The cable also has an insulating jacket, which increases separation of the cable if it did somehow become looped.

Indications for Use:

The dS FootAnkle 16ch 1.5T Coil is intended to be used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner to produce diagnostic images of the foot and ankle that can be interpreted by a trained physician.

Safety and Effectiveness:

The proposed dS FootAnkle 16ch 1.5T Coil labeling contain instructions for use and necessary cautions, warnings and notes to provide for safe and effective use of the device. Risk Management is ensured via Invivo Risk Management procedure, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled via the product development process, verification and validation testing and safety features provided by the MRI Scanners.

Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics of the proposed dS FootAnkle 16ch 1.5T Coil is exactly the same as the currently marketed and predicate device FAC-63 Foot and Ankle Coil.

The technological characteristic of a receive-only radio frequency (RF) coil is that the coil receives radio frequency signals from the tissue of interest. This technological characteristic of the proposed dS FootAnkle 16ch 1.5T Coil has not changed as compared to the technological characteristic of the currently marketed and predicate device FAC-63 Foot and Ankle Coil.

Based on the information provided above, the proposed dS FootAnkle 16ch 1.5T Coil is considered substantially equivalent to the currently marketed and predicate device FAC-63 Foot and Ankle Coil (K050514) in terms of technological characteristics.

The proposed dS FootAnkle 16ch 1.5T Coil utilizes the same technological characteristic as the predicate FAC-63 Foot and Ankle Coil. Both have similar design, intended use, patient safety features, housing materials, overall dimensions, and operating principals; and substantially equivalent in their performance and effectiveness for their intended uses.
