The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of an MRI receive coil, with no mention of AI or ML for image processing or other functions.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "designed... to produce diagnostic images on general human anatomy," indicating an imaging function, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is designed "to produce diagnostic images on general human anatomy".
No
The device is described as a physical RF coil with multiple elements, integrated preamplifiers, and connectors, designed to be used with an MRI system. This clearly indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, 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 description clearly states that the 3.0T AIR MP M and L are receive-only RF coils used with MRI systems to produce diagnostic images of general human anatomy. This is an imaging device that works externally to the body, not by analyzing samples taken from the body.
The device's function is to acquire signals from the body during an MRI scan, which are then used to create images for diagnosis. This is fundamentally different from the process of in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The 3.0T AIR MP M is a receive-only coil designed to provide optimum signal-to noise and uniform coverage of general human anatomy including extremities and are designed for use with GE 3.0T MRI Systems. This is a 20 element coils tuned to image proton nuclei. Each coil element has an integrated preamplifier to improve image quality. The 3.0T AIR MP M is provided with P-connectors. The coil has a soft material to conform to the patient's anatomy and maximize patient comfort. Due to the flexibility of the coils, a coil holder may be used to assist in securing the coil in place.
The 3.0T AIR MP L is a receive-only coil designed to provide optimum signal-to noise and uniform coverage of general human anatomy including extremities and are designed for use with GE 3.0T MRI Systems. This is a 21 element coils tuned to image proton nuclei. Each coil element has an integrated preamplifier to improve image quality. The 3.0T AIR MP L is provided with P-connectors.

§ 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 Veronica Meridith:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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) for
