Intended Use
The Lucy Point-of-Care Magnetic Resonance Imaging Device is a bedside magnetic resonance imaging device for producing images that display the internal structure of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.
Device Description
Lucy is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. Its portability allows patient bedside imaging. It enables visualization of the internal structures of the head using standard magnetic resonance imaging contrasts. The main interface is a commercial off the shelf device, used to operate the system, provide access to patient data, exam set-up, exam execution, and MRI image data viewing for quality control purposes as well as for cloud storage interactions. Lucy can generate MRI data sets with a broad range of contrasts. The user interface includes touch screen menus, controls, indicators and navigation icons that allow the operator to control the system and to view imagery.
More Information

Not Found

No
The provided text does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms like deep learning or neural networks in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on the portability and standard MRI capabilities of the device.

No
The device is used for imaging and diagnosis, not for treating conditions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device produces images that, "When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis." This explicitly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device" and describes hardware components like portability for bedside imaging and a user interface with touch screen menus and controls to operate the system and view imagery. This indicates it is a hardware device with accompanying software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Lucy Point-of-Care Magnetic Resonance Imaging Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body. They perform tests in vitro (in glass, or outside the body).
  • The Lucy device is an imaging device that examines the internal structure of the head within the body. It uses magnetic resonance to create images directly from the patient. This is an in vivo (in the living body) process.

The description clearly states it's a "bedside magnetic resonance imaging device for producing images that display the internal structure of the head". This is the core function of an imaging device, not an IVD.

§ 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. Sawin:

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
