No
The summary describes a wireless audio system for communication and entertainment in MRI environments and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is intended for entertainment and communication purposes in an MRI environment, not for treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device is intended for entertainment and communication during MRI scans, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "modular system comprised of wireless patient headphones, a remote audio data source unit, and communications infrastructure," indicating it includes hardware components. The performance testing also includes hardware-related tests like "Max B1 in first fault conditions" and "Surface Temperature."

Based on the provided information, the NeoCoil Wireless Audio System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is to "provide entertainment and facilitate patient communication in MRI environments." This clearly describes a device used on a patient for comfort and communication during a medical procedure, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on components for audio transmission and reception for patient interaction within the MRI environment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on safety within the MRI environment (RF heating, image quality impact, noise reduction) and communication quality, not on the accuracy or reliability of diagnostic test results.

Therefore, the NeoCoil Wireless Audio System falls under the category of a medical device used for patient comfort and communication during an imaging procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.1000 Magnetic resonance diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Michael Leigh:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
