The description focuses on parametric mapping and modeling based on multi-echo acquisition data, which are traditional signal processing techniques, not explicitly AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning.
No
The device is described as post-processing software for visualization, analysis, and quantification of brain tissues from MR images, intended to aid in diagnosis, not to treat or alleviate a disease.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states, "When interpreted by a trained physician, SyMRI images can provide information useful in determining diagnosis." This indicates its role in assisting with diagnosis.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as a "post-processing software medical device" and its function is to analyze input data from existing MR imaging systems, generate parametric maps, and create visualizations and quantifications. It does not include any hardware components.
Based on the provided text, SyMRI is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- SyMRI's Function: SyMRI processes data from MR imaging systems (which are external imaging modalities) to visualize and quantify brain tissues. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the body.
Therefore, SyMRI falls under the category of a medical device that processes imaging data, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
SyMRI is a post-processing software medical device intended for use in visualization of the brain. SyMRI analyzes input data from MR imaging systems. SyMRI utilizes data from a multi-echo acquisition (MDME) to generate parametric maps of R1, R2 relaxation rates, and proton density (PD). SyMRI can generate multiple image contrasts from the parametric maps. SyMRI enables post-acquisition image contrast SyMRI is indicated for head imaging.
SyMRI is also intended for automatic labeling, visualization and volumetric quantification of segmentable brain tissues from a set of MR images. Brain tissue volumes are determined based on modeling of parametric maps from MDME images.
When interpreted by a trained physician, SyMRI images can provide information useful in determining diagnosis. SyMRI should always be used in combination with at least one other, conventional MR acquisition (e.g. T2-FLAIR).

§ 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 Mr. Kelly:
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.
