(64 days)
Yes
The device description explicitly mentions "Proprietary optical machine vision tracking technology," which is a common application area for machine learning algorithms. While "AI" or "ML" are not explicitly stated, "machine vision" strongly implies the use of computational techniques, often including ML, to interpret visual data for tracking.
No.
Explanation: The device is an accessory to an MRI scanner that tracks patient movement to improve image quality. It does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition, nor does it restore, modify, or correct body functions. Its function is to augment the performance of the MRI scanner for better imaging.
No
This device is an accessory to an MRI scanner that tracks patient movement to improve image quality. It does not independently diagnose conditions or diseases.
No
The device description explicitly lists several hardware components, including a camera enclosure, wiring conduit, processing unit, external wiring, tracking markers, external monitor, and network system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The Motion Correction System is an accessory to an MRI scanner. Its primary function is to track patient movement during an MRI scan and provide this positional data to the scanner to improve image quality. It does not analyze biological specimens from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to supplement and/or augment the performance of the MRI scanner by correcting for patient motion. This is a technical function related to the imaging process itself, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
The device is clearly described as an accessory to a medical imaging device (MRI scanner) and its purpose is to improve the quality of the images produced by that scanner. This falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.
No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Motion Correction System is an accessory to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner. The system is a sensor-based technology for tracking of patient movement during an MRI session. It provides the current position of the patient in real-time to the MRI scanner for further data processing.
User: Professional Use
Environment: Hospital, doctor's office, or any facility that uses an MRI device

Device Description
During an MRI scan, if the patient's head does not remain still during the scan, the resulting images may not be sharp. This could prevent a physician from analyzing the images, therefore requiring additional scanning.
Software has been developed to somewhat reduce these effects.
KinetiCor has developed a Motion Correction technology using a track the true position of the patient's head. These coordinates are provided to the MRI scanner, which adjusts the MR images.
The Motion Correction System delivers head pose tracking and correction in 6 degrees of freedom for MR applications.
-
Optimized for high field MR environments, the technology has been FDA Cleared for use in the MAGNETOM Vida, 510(k) K183254, cleared January 18, 2019. Customized optics, electronics and enclosures minimize Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radiofrequency (RF) interference and isolate the camera system for stable tracking accuracy.
-
Proprietary optical machine vision tracking technology provides tracking data to the MRI scanner with a static accuracy of approximately 0.1 mm and 0.1 deg. This means that the MR pulse sequences are updated in real-time.
-
The impact of the Motion Correction technology can be illustrated by taking a closer look at the corrected and uncorrected images in the figure below.
-
(a) Motion correction using KinetiCor technology and (b) MR images obtained when the motion was not corrected and acquired using the conventional way. Similar motion performed during both scans.
KinetiCor is offering this accessory to the following MRI scanners that are installed in the field: -
Siemens MAGNETOM Skyra 3T (510(k) K153343 cleared April 15, 2016)
Hardware

7. RISK MANAGEMENT, GENERAL SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
The device labeling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warnings to provide for safe and effective use of the device. The Motion Correction System has an own Instruction for Use.
Risk management is ensured via a risk analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards and mitigations. These potential hazards are controlled by design means, protection measures and user instructions. To confirm that the measures are effective and that the product meets its intended uses, verification of requirements and standards, and validation of the clinical workflow was performed. KinetiCor adheres to recognized and established industry practice and relevant international standards where indicated.
8. Technological Characteristics and substantial equivalence (21 CFR §807.92(a)) (6))
The KinetiCor Motion Correction System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as the Camera Enclosure, Processing Unit electronics, Motion Correction Software and Tracking Markers are the same as in the predicate device. The camera enclosure, electronics and software for the MAGNETOM Vida are installed at the Siemens Factory on a new device prior to first customer use, whereas the KinetiCor Motion Correction System accessory is installed on the MAGNETOM Skyra 3T System, which is already in the field and in use.
While there are some differences in characteristics between the subject device and predicate device, including off-the shelf software applications (XPACE), wiring conduit configuration, external wiring, and external monitor; these differences have been tested and the conclusions from the non-clinical data suggests that the features bear an equivalent safety and performance profile to that of the predicate device.
9. Nonclinical Tests
The following performance testing was conducted on the subject accessory to a medical device:
- -Software Verification and Validation testing was performed in accordance with FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" dated May 11, 2005 and KinetiCor Quality System Procedure QSP-106 Quality Lifecycle Procedure.
- -Design Verification and Validation testing was performed in accordance with 21 CFR 820 and KinetiCor Quality System Procedure QSP-102 Design Control.
10. Substantial Equivalence
There are very few differences between the KinetiCor Motion Correction System installed on a Skyra MRI and the predicate – almost all are due to the installing the KinetiCor accessory as a retrofit to existing product in the field versus assembly of the KinetiCor accessory at the factory in a brand new MAGNETOM Vida scanner.

TITLE: Section 5: 510(k) Summary
The KinetiCor Motion Correction System as an accessory to a medical device is substantially equivalent to the MAGNETOM VIDA with software syngo MR XA11B and KinetiCor's Motion Correction accessories, which was 510(k) cleared on January 18, 2019 (K183254). As stated in that submission, "TFL with inline Motion Correction: Tracking of motion of the head during 3D MPRAGE head scans with a nose marker and a camera system. The MR system uses the tracking information to compensate for the detected motion." In fact, the designs of the nose marker, electronics and the camera enclosure system are the same as in the MAGNETOM Vida and the KinetiCor Motion Correction System.
11. Conclusions (21 CFR §807.92(b)(3))
The KinetiCor Motion Correction System as an accessory to a medical device provides the same motion correction hardware and technology as the predicate device system. The KinetiCor Motion Correction System provides motion correction features to potentially improve the magnetic resonance image if patient movement occurs during one specific sequence. It is a currently a feature in the predicate new device and a proposed accessory to an existing device.
KinetiCor believes that the Motion Correction System as an accessory to a medical device is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed device MAGNETOM VIDA with software syngo MR XA11B and KinetiCor's Motion Correction accessories.
The subject device does not raise any new questions with respect to safety or effectiveness. The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the device is safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device identified in paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
