Intended Use
The Promaxo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System is an office-based MRI system for producing images that display the prostate and adjoining tissues. When used by a trained urologist or interventional/urologic radiologist, the system is intended to be used for targeting prostatic lesions under MR guidance in alignment with the current standard of care. Promaxo MR images are not intended to be used for diagnostic purposes, and a 3T MR image acquired without an endorectal coil is a required input for guidance using the Promaxo MRI System.
Device Description
Promaxo's MRI system is an open configuration MRI system composed of an array of permanent magnets arranged to provide a constant in-plane magnetic field strength and a built-in z-gradient within its field of view. The system utilizes electromagnetic gradient coils, RF coils, and other components such as the spectrometer and signal amplifiers to capture, reconstruct and display magnetic resonance images of objects within its field of view. Promaxo MRI System's technological features are substantially equivalent to its predicate device. Both of them: - Are comprised of a magnet, magnet enclosure, electromagnetic gradient coils, RF transmission coil, and RF receiver coil - Have the main magnet comprised of an array of permanent magnets - Measure spatial distribution of protons exhibiting magnetic resonance - Are capable of imaging T1, T2, and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging - Are cryogen free - Provide an interactive user interface to operate the device - Promaxo's MRI system differs in technology in the following ways: - The z-gradient is built into the main magnetic field and, as a result, the system does not require an electromagnetic z-gradient coil - The device includes a template holder to be used for procedures under MR guidance - The device includes an MR guidance user interface workflow such as template calibration and registration with imported MR images
More Information

No
The document describes a standard MRI system with features for MR guidance and image registration, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The "Image Processing: None" section further supports the absence of advanced computational techniques like AI/ML for image analysis.

No.
The device is strictly for imaging and guidance, not for treating any condition. Its intended use explicitly states "Promaxo MR images are not intended to be used for diagnostic purposes" and it is "intended to be used for targeting prostatic lesions under MR guidance", which is an imaging and localization function, not a therapeutic one.

No

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "Promaxo MR images are not intended to be used for diagnostic purposes".

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "open configuration MRI system composed of an array of permanent magnets arranged to provide a constant in-plane magnetic field strength and a built-in z-gradient within its field of view. The system utilizes electromagnetic gradient coils, RF coils, and other components such as the spectrometer and signal amplifiers to capture, reconstruct and display magnetic resonance images". This clearly indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Promaxo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System 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.
  • Promaxo MRI System Function: The Promaxo MRI System is an imaging device that produces images of the prostate and adjoining tissues. It works by using magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of the internal structure of the body. This is an in vivo (within the living body) process, not an in vitro process.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "producing images that display the prostate and adjoining tissues" and for "targeting prostatic lesions under MR guidance." This is a medical imaging and guidance function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The description focuses on the hardware and imaging capabilities, not on the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the Promaxo MRI System falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Promaxo MRI System's technological features are substantially equivalent to its predicate device. Both of them:

  • । Are comprised of a magnet, magnet enclosure, electromagnetic gradient coils, RF transmission coil, and RF receiver coil
  • Have the main magnet comprised of an array of permanent magnets
  • -Measure spatial distribution of protons exhibiting magnetic resonance
  • -Are capable of imaging T1, T2, and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging
  • -Are cryogen free
  • Provide an interactive user interface to operate the device -

Promaxo's MRI system differs in technology in the following ways:

  • -The z-gradient is built into the main magnetic field and, as a result, the system does not require an electromagnetic z-gradient coil
  • -The device includes a template holder to be used for procedures under MR guidance
  • -The device includes an MR guidance user interface workflow such as template calibration and registration with imported MR images

Summary of Clinical Testing

Sample clinical images and testing on sample clinical images were provided to support substantial equivalence. Users performed registration accuracy and motion studies using the Promaxo MRI System on clinical images of human subjects.

An end-to-end clinical feasibility study was conducted.

Conclusion

The testing demonstrates that the Promaxo MRI System is as safe and effective as the predicate for the intended use of surgical localization of previously diagnosed prostate lesions on a diagnostic 3T MRI. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device and conforms to applicable medical device safety and performance standards.
