Intended Use
The Contour 24 is intended for use with Siemens 3.0T MR systems to produce diagnostic images of general human anatomy that can be interpreted by a trained physician.
Device Description
The Contour 24 is a receive-only, 24-channel phased array coil designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the Siemens 3.0T MR systems. The Contour 24 is intended to be used for imaging general human anatomy, such as the abdomen and pelvis. The Contour 24 is a reusable, non-invasive device with limited exposure with regard to duration of contact with the body. The coil elements are encapsulated in polycarbonate and aramid felt which are fire-rated and provide impact and tensile strength, then covered with a polyurethane coated nylon fabric which has been evaluated for biocompatibility.

No
The summary describes a passive hardware component (an MRI coil) and does not mention any software or processing capabilities that would involve AI/ML.

No
The device is described as producing "diagnostic images of general human anatomy," which indicates an imaging or diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. It's a "receive-only, 24-channel phased array coil designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)."

No.

The device is an MRI coil that produces diagnostic images, but it does not perform the diagnostic interpretation itself. It is a component of a diagnostic system rather than a diagnostic device on its own.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "receive-only, 24-channel phased array coil designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)". This describes a physical hardware component used in MRI systems, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Contour 24 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens, such as blood, urine, or tissue, that are taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Contour 24 Function: The Contour 24 is a receive-only coil used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It is a component of an imaging system that produces diagnostic images of general human anatomy directly from the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for producing diagnostic images of general human anatomy, not for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on its physical characteristics and how it interacts with the MRI system and the patient's body for imaging, not for sample analysis.

Therefore, the Contour 24 falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Biocompatibility Testing: All surface materials on the Contour 24 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 previously-cleared devices.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility: The Contour 24 was tested to and found to be compliant 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: The SNR and uniformity of the Contour 24 was analyzed per 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 general human anatomy were obtained from the Contour 24. These images were used to demonstrate that the Contour 24 produces diagnostic quality images of the intended anatomies.

§ 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 Eric Yeh:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

The Contour 24 is intended for use with Siemens 3.0T MR systems to produce diagnostic images of general human anatomy that can be interpreted by a trained physician.

The Indications for Use statement for the Contour 24 is identical to the predicate device (Siemens 3.0T Blanket Array Coil); neither the intended diagnostic use nor safety or effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate device has been altered. Both Indications for Use statements for the proposed Contour 24 and predicate Siemens 3.0T Blanket Array Coil indicate that the device is intended to be used in conjunction with a 3.0T MR system to produce images of general human anatomy and that the images can be interpreted by a trained physician.

11. Predicate Device and Technological Characteristics

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

  • Receive-only phased array RF coil .
  • Active PIN diode switching blocking circuitry. Passive blocking circuitry.
  • Flexible blanket-like enclosure
  • Compatible with Siemens 3.0T MR systems

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

  • Materials used for flame retardancy and biocompatibility: ● Polycarbonate and aramid felt with a polyurethane coated nylon fabric (proposed device) versus EVA foam with a nylon fabric or compressed EVA cover (predicate device)

12. Performance Data

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

Biocompatibility Testing

All surface materials on the Contour 24 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 previously-cleared devices.

Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility

The Contour 24 was tested to and found to be compliant with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-33.
