The summary describes a passive MRI coil and does not mention any software or processing capabilities that would involve AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) coil intended to produce diagnostic images, not to treat any medical condition.
No
The device is a coil for an MRI system, which produces diagnostic images. It is not the diagnostic device itself, but a component used to acquire the images that a physician interprets for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "transmit/receive, 16-channel phased array coil" with "all coil elements enclosed in a rigid plastic housing," indicating it is a physical hardware device.
No, 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 body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The 16ch T/R Hand Wrist Coil is an accessory for an MRI machine. Its purpose is to acquire images of the hand and wrist within the body, not to analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "producing diagnostic images of the hand and wrist." This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic process, not an in vitro one.
The device description and performance studies further support this. They focus on image quality, signal-to-noise ratio, and uniformity, which are relevant to MRI imaging, not laboratory testing of biological samples.

9. Device Description
The 16ch T/R Hand Wrist Coil is a transmit/receive, 16-channel phased array coil designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the GE 1.5T MR systems. The 16ch T/R Hand Wrist Coil is intended to be used for imaging the hand and wrist.
The 16ch T/R Hand Wrist Coil is a reusable, non-invasive device with limited exposure with regard to duration of contact with the body. All coil elements are enclosed in a rigid plastic housing, which is fire-rated, has impact and tensile strength, and has been tested for biocompatibility.
10. Indications for Use
The 16ch T/R Hand Wrist Coil is intended for use with GE 1.5T MR systems to produce diagnostic images of the hand and wrist that can be interpreted by a trained physician.
The Indications for Use statement for the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist 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. Both Indications for Use statements for the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil and predicate 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil indicate that the device is intended to be used in conjunction with a MR scanner to produce images of the hand and wrist that can be interpreted by a trained physician. The indications for use statements differ only in that the proposed 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil is intended to be used with 1.5T MR systems rather than 3.0T MR systems.
Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the 11. Predicate Device
At a high level, the proposed and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- Intended to provide images of the hand and wrist
- . 16 channels
- Transmit/receive, phased array RF coil
- Hinged "clamshell" mechanical design ●
- Housing materials are flame, impact resistant and biocompatible
5
The following technological differences exist between the proposed and predicate device:
- Field strength of MR system (1.5T (proposed) versus 3.0T (predicate)) ●
12. Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility Testing
All surface materials on the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist 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 previously-cleared devices.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility
The 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil 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.
A finite-difference time-domain electromagnetic simulation was performed to provide data supporting that the partial body limits for SAR are controlled within the limits described in IEC 60601-2-33. The simulation showed that the local SAR limits for the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil are below the IEC 60601-2-33 partial body limits.
Performance Testing - Bench
The SNR and uniformity of the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil was analyzed per NEMA MS 1 and NEMA MS 3 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 hand and wrist were obtained from the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil. These images were used to demonstrate that the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil produces diagnostic quality images of the intended anatomy.

13. Conclusion
electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility and The biocompatibility data support the safety of the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil and the bench testing per the NEMA standards and diagnostic quality sample clinical images demonstrates the performance and effectiveness of the device under the specified use conditions. This testing demonstrates that the 16ch T/R Hand Wrist coil performs as well as or better than the predicate devices.
