Intended Use
HyperSense is a software feature intended for use on GE MR 1.5T and 3.0T Systems. HyperSense is an acceleration technique based on sparse data sampling and iterative reconstruction that allows users to reduce scan times or increase scan resolution. HyperSense can be used for non-contrast enhanced imaging of the head, neck, spine, extremities, pelvis, and abdomen.
Device Description
HyperSense is a software feature used on GE 1.5T and 3.0T MR systems. HyperSense is an acceleration technique based on sparse data sampling and iterative reconstruction, enabling faster imaging without the penalties commonly found with conventional parallel imaging. HyperSense is intended to be used with volumetric acquisitions, and can be combined with other methods of acceleration (ARC) for achieving high signal to noise ratio with shorter acquisition times. HyperSense can deliver higher spatial resolution images or reduced scan times.
More Information

No
The description focuses on "sparse data sampling and iterative reconstruction," which are established image processing techniques, not explicitly AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training or test sets for model development.

No
HyperSense is a software feature for MR systems that allows for faster imaging or increased resolution; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

HyperSense is a software feature that enhances the speed and resolution of MRI scans. It aids in image acquisition and quality, but it does not directly diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device is described as a "software feature intended for use on GE MR 1.5T and 3.0T Systems." This indicates it is a component of a larger hardware system (the MR scanner) and not a standalone software-only medical device.

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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • HyperSense Function: HyperSense is a software feature for MR systems that focuses on image acquisition and processing. It accelerates the process of obtaining MR images by using sparse data sampling and iterative reconstruction.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of HyperSense does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens taken from the patient. It directly interacts with the MR scanner and the data acquired from the patient's body during the scan.

Therefore, HyperSense falls under the category of a medical imaging device software feature, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description:HyperSense is a software feature used on GE 1.5T and
3.0T MR systems.
HyperSense is an acceleration technique based on
sparse data sampling and iterative reconstruction,
enabling faster imaging without the penalties
commonly found with conventional parallel imaging.
HyperSense is intended to be used with volumetric
acquisitions, and can be combined with other methods
of acceleration (ARC) for achieving high signal to noise

| Indications for Use: | HyperSense is a software feature intended for use on
GE MR 1.5T and 3.0T Systems. HyperSense is an
acceleration technique based on sparse data sampling
and iterative reconstruction that allows users to reduce
scan times or increase scan resolution. HyperSense
can be used for non-contrast enhanced imaging of the
head, neck, spine, extremities, pelvis, and abdomen. |

| Comparison of Intended
Use | Both HyperSense and the predicate device are
magnetic resonance imaging devices intended for
diagnostic use.
Both indications for use statements are functional in
nature, and do not list specific diseases or conditions.
HyperSense and the predicate device are indicated for
the same patient population, and for the same clinical
setting. Both indications for use statements include a
range of intended anatomies.
Therefore, GE Healthcare believes that HyperSense has
the same intended use as the predicate device in
accordance with the FDA's guidance document "The
510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in
Premarket Notifications [510(k)]", dated 28 July 2014. |
| Comparison of
Technological
Characteristics: | The most notable technological difference between
HyperSense and the predicate device is that HyperSense
adopts compressed sensing acquisition method based
on sparse data compressibility allowing scan time
reduction while maintaining appropriate image quality.
Per bench and clinical data collected to validate the
indications for use, this technological difference does
not raise any different questions of safety and
effectiveness. Both devices must address questions of
whether they provide an adequate level of image
quality appropriate for diagnostic use. The performance
data described in this submission include results of
both bench testing and clinical testing that show the
image quality performance of HyperSense compared to
the predicate device |

There are also some water droplet-like shapes surrounding the circle. The logo is simple and recognizable, representing the company's brand identity.

Performance DataSummary of Non-Clinical Tests:
HyperSense is a software only feature and complies with the following voluntary standards:
AAMI/ANSI 62304 AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 IEC 60601-2-33
In addition, HyperSense complies with NEMA PS3.1-3.18 for DICOM conformance.
HyperSense complies with the same applicable standards as the software used in the predicate device.
As with the predicate device, the following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of HyperSense:
Risk Analysis Requirements Reviews Design Reviews Testing on unit level (Module verification) Integration testing (System verification) Performance testing (Verification) Safety testing (Verification) Simulated use testing (Validation)
Phantom testing has been conducted to evaluate the impact of HyperSense on Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), and spatial resolution.
The non-clinical testing was completed with passing results per the pass/fail criteria defined in the test cases.
Summary of Clinical Tests:
A clinical study has been performed to evaluate the impact of HyperSense on image quality, as measured by the legibility of morphological features. Additionally, a peer reviewed journal article describing a study of the HyperSense technique has been provided in this submission as supporting evidence. The clinical results demonstrated that HyperSense maintains comparable imaging performance results as its predicate devices (K142085). Sample clinical images are included in this submission.
Conclusion:GE Healthcare believes that the HyperSense software
feature has substantially the same intended use as the
predicate ARC. This 510(k) submission includes
information on the technological characteristics of the
HyperSense feature, as well as performance data
demonstrating that HyperSense is as safe and effective
as the predicate, and does not raise different questions
of safety and effectiveness.
In conclusion, GE Healthcare believes that the
HyperSense feature is substantially equivalent to the
predicate device.
