No
The summary describes a passive MRI coil and does not mention any AI/ML components or image processing capabilities.

No.
The device is clearly stated as intended "to produce diagnostic images" of various anatomical sites for interpretation by a physician. It is a receive-only coil for MRI, which is used for imaging, not for treatment.

Yes

The device is an MRI coil that produces "diagnostic images of the knee, wrist, hand, foot and ankle that can be interpreted by a trained physician." Its purpose is to aid in diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a physical coil with a rigid plastic housing and comfort pads, intended for use with an MRI system. It undergoes hardware-specific testing like biocompatibility, electrical safety, and surface heating.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER Coil is a component of an MRI system. Its purpose is to receive radiofrequency signals from the body during an MRI scan to produce diagnostic images. This is an in vivo (within the living body) process.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for producing diagnostic images of specific anatomical sites within the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role as a receive-only coil for MRI, a non-invasive procedure.

The device is a medical device used for diagnostic imaging, but it does not perform testing on samples taken from the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

10. Indications for Use

The 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER Coil is intended for use with Toshiba 1.5T MR systems to produce diagnostic images of the knee, wrist, hand, foot and ankle that can be interpreted by a trained physician.

The Indications for Use statement for the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER coil is not identical to that of the predicate device; however, the differences do not alter the intended diagnostic use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. The proposed 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER coil is a modification to the predicate 8ch Knee SPEEDER coil that expands the intended use from knee, wrist, hand and forefoot to knee, wrist, hand, foot and ankle; thereby encompassing the whole foot and ankle. This is accomplished by adding a second anterior piece used for foot and ankle imaging. The posterior and knee anterior piece remain identical to the predicate 8ch Knee SPEEDER coil cleared under K152695.

11. Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

5

  • Intended to provide images of the knee, wrist and hand regions ●
  • 8-channel, receive-only, phased array RF coils
  • . Split-top mechanical design
  • . Housing materials are flame, impact resistant and biocompatible
  • Knee, wrist, and hand imaging accomplished through 8ch Knee ● SPEEDER configuration
  • Compatible with Toshiba 1.5T MR systems ●

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate device:

  • Intended to provide images of the foot and ankle regions (subject) . versus forefoot region (predicate) in addition to knee, wrist and hand
  • Two anterior pieces with split-top mechanical design shaped to fit . the knee and foot (subject) versus single split-top mechanical design shaped to fit the knee (predicate)

12. Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility Testing

All surface materials on the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER coil that are intended to come into direct or indirect contact with patient biological tissues, cells or body fluids have a history of safe use in previouslycleared devices.

Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility

The electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER coil was verified in accordance with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-33.

Surface heating was tested in accordance with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1. The measured temperature of the surface of the coil never exceeded the maximum limit of 41°C.

Performance Testing - Bench

6

The SNR and uniformity of the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER was analyzed per NEMA MS 6 and NEMA MS 9 and was found to conform to predetermined acceptance criteria.

Performance Testing - Clinical

In accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry: Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices, clinical images from volunteer scanning of the knee, wrist, hand, foot and ankle were obtained from the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER. These images were used to demonstrate that the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER produces diagnostic quality images of the intended anatomies.

13. Conclusion

The electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibilitv and biocompatibility data support the safety of the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER and the bench testing per the NEMA standards demonstrates the performance and effectiveness of the device under the specified use conditions. This testing demonstrates that the 8ch Knee-Foot SPEEDER performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
