The description focuses on the hardware components and physical properties of the breast coil, with no mention of software algorithms, AI, or ML for image processing or interpretation.
No
The device is described as a "diagnostic imaging device extension" used to "produce images and/ or spectra" that "may assist in diagnosis." It does not claim to treat or alleviate a disease or condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use as diagnostic imaging device extensions" and "These images when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis."
No
The device description clearly details a physical hardware component (a breast coil) with integrated electronics (preamplifiers, connector, decoupling circuits) designed to receive RF signals from an MR system. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coils are accessories for an MRI system. They are used to receive radio frequency signals from the body to create images of the breast. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging process, not an in vitro process.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images and/ or spectra, and that displays the internal structure of the breast." This is consistent with medical imaging, not laboratory testing of samples.
Therefore, the 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coils are a medical imaging device accessory, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coils are indicated for use as diagnostic imaging device extensions for GE 1.5 T MR Systems and GE 3.0 T MR Systems to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images and/ or spectra, and that displays the internal structure of the breast. These images when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Device Description
The 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coil (1.5 T 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coil and 3.0 T 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coil) is designed for use with a magnetic resonance (MR) system. The coil is designed to work in unison with the Body Coil (BC) of the MR system, which will excite the hydrogen (1H) nuclei with radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields, so that the coil may receive the resultant RF signal from the excited nuclei. The coil is designed as a receive-only coil for high resolution MR examination of breast.
The coil housing features a curved surface for better adaption to the anatomical region of interest. The coil is receive-only (Rx) and consists of 16 independent single loop coil elements with integrated low noise preamplifiers and a connector to the GE 1.5 T MR Systems or the GE 3.0 T MR Systems. The coil is fixed tuned and matched to the typical load of a breast at the Larmor frequency of 1H at 1.5 T (63.9 MHz) or 3.0 T (127.7 MHz) respectively. Decoupling circuits are integrated in each single loop element providing a decoupling from the Body Coil of the MR System during transmission of the RF excitation pulse. The coil provides both, unilateral and bilateral images (Left, Right and Both) of the anatomy of interest.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Nonclinical tests were performed on a loading phantom to evaluate the subject device concerning applicable imaging parameters Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Image Uniformity. Test were conducted following NEMA Standards.
Clinical tests were performed on volunteers in order to check image quality in vivo. Typical sequences for diagnosis were applied (Vibrant, DWI, CUBE T2-flex, FSE T2 with Aspir, FSPGR-T1) with standard scan parameters and image orientations (axial and sagittal).
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Nonclinical Tests: Test results show an enhanced SNR performance of the subject device, while determined Image Uniformity compares well to the results from the predicate device.
Clinical Tests: Clinical test show that the subject device provides adequate image quality (SNR, penetration depth, contrast, resolution and robustness against artifacts) as well as scan time and patient comfort are good.

Indications for Use
The 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coils are indicated for use as diagnostic imaging device extensions for GE 1.5 T MR Systems and GE 3.0 T MR Systems to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that display the internal structure of the breast. These images when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
Device Description
The 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coil (1.5 T 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coil and 3.0 T 16Ch Diagnostic Breast Coil) is designed for use with a magnetic resonance (MR) system. The coil is designed to work in unison with the Body Coil (BC) of the MR system, which will excite the hydrogen (1H) nuclei with radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields, so that the coil may receive the resultant RF signal from the excited nuclei. The coil is designed as a receive-only coil for high resolution MR examination of breast.
The coil housing features a curved surface for better adaption to the anatomical region of interest. The coil is receive-only (Rx) and consists of 16 independent single loop coil elements with integrated low noise preamplifiers and a connector to the GE 1.5 T MR Systems or the GE 3.0 T MR Systems. The coil is fixed tuned and matched to the typical load of a breast at the Larmor frequency of 1H at 1.5 T (63.9 MHz) or 3.0 T (127.7 MHz) respectively. Decoupling circuits are integrated in each single loop element providing a decoupling from the Body Coil of the MR System during transmission of the RF excitation pulse.

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Subject Device as compared with the Predicate Device
The proposed labelling is adjusted compared to the predicate device with respect to differing MR Systems, changes in the currently applicable standards and for better usability.
Overall, the indications for use, the intended use and the coil technology and safety are substantially equivalent.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns
The safety and performance parameters according to the FDA Guidance Document "Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices, issued on Nov. 18, 2016" are unaffected by the modifications described within this notification.
Nonclinical Tests
Nonclinical tests were performed on a loading phantom to evaluate the subject device concerning applicable imaging parameters Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Image Uniformity. Test were conducted following NEMA Standards. Test results show an enhanced SNR performance of the subject device, while determined Image Uniformity compares well to the results from the predicate device.
The subject device is conforming to:
- AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012, c1:2009/(r)2012 and . a2:2010/(r)2012 (consolidated text) medical electrical equipment - part 1: general requirements for safety and essential performance (iec 60601-1:2005, mod). (General II (ES/EMC)). FDA Recognition number: #19-4

All safety tests were performed on GE MR Systems. The test results are approved by GE for proving the full system compatibility.
Clinical Tests
Clinical tests were performed on volunteers in order to check image quality in vivo. Typical sequences for diagnosis were applied (Vibrant, DWI, CUBE T2-flex, FSE T2 with Aspir, FSPGR-T1) with standard scan parameters and image orientations (axial and sagittal). Clinical test show that the subject device provides adequate image quality (SNR, penetration depth, contrast, resolution and robustness against artifacts) as well as scan time and patient comfort are good.
Sample clinical images (Dicoms) are provided as part of the discussion of the clinical tests submitted.

Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence
Testing was performed to support this claim of substantial equivalence and to show that the modifications do not raise any new questions pertaining to safety and effectiveness.
The modifications did not affect the Indications for Use, the Intended Use and did not alter the Fundamental Scientific Technology.
RAPID Biomedical therefore believes the subject devices and the Predicate Devices to be substantially equivalent (SE).
