Intended Use
The Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil is to be used in conjunction with compatible 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners and approved xenon Xe 129 hyperpolarized for oral inhalation of lung ventilation in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older.
Device Description
The Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil (hereafter Chest Coil) is a flexible, single channel, transmit-receive (T/R) RF coil tuned to 129Xe frequency on a 3.0T MRI magnetic field in order to image 129Xe nuclei while the patient is positioned inside a compatible multi-nuclear-capable MRI scanner. The Chest Coil is intended to be worn by a patient who inhales hyperpolarized 129Xe gas (XENOVIEW) to obtain an MR image of the regional distribution of hyperpolarized 129Xe in the lungs. The coil is constructed of a durable, flexible circuit board material within which the antenna elements and all electronic components are contained. These components are electrically isolated from the rest of the coil packaging by being enclosed within suitable non-conductive, water-rated, and flame-rated materials. A layer of padding is located on either side of the coil circuitry to provide patient comfort and protection against potential heating generated by circuitry components. The RF coil is a "fixed matching and tuning device" (i.e. not tunable by the operator), thereby eliminating the need to tune and match it for every patient.

No
The description focuses on the hardware components of an RF coil for MRI and does not mention any software or algorithms that would utilize AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is an RF coil used for imaging with an MRI scanner, not for treating a disease or condition.

No.

The device is a chest coil used in conjunction with MRI scanners to obtain an image of hyperpolarized 129Xe in the lungs. It is a tool for image acquisition, not a diagnostic device itself. The diagnostic interpretation would be performed by a trained physician using the images generated.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical RF coil constructed of circuit board material, electronic components, and padding, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Chest Coil is a medical device used in conjunction with an MRI scanner to image the distribution of inhaled hyperpolarized xenon gas within the patient's lungs. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
  • The intended use is for imaging the lungs. The description clearly states the device is used to "obtain an MR image of the regional distribution of hyperpolarized 129Xe in the lungs." This is an in-vivo imaging procedure, not an in-vitro diagnostic test.
  • The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of an RF coil for MRI. The components and construction are typical of an MRI coil, not a device designed for analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil is a medical device used for in-vivo imaging, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil (hereafter Chest Coil) is a flexible, single channel, transmit-receive (T/R) RF coil tuned to 129Xe frequency on a 3.0T MRI magnetic field in order to image 129Xe nuclei while the patient is positioned inside a compatible multi-nuclear-capable MRI scanner. The Chest Coil is intended to be worn by a patient who inhales hyperpolarized 1ª8%e gas (XENOVIEW) to obtain an MR image of the regional distribution of hyperpolarized 149Xe in the lungs.

The coil is constructed of a durable, flexible circuit board material within which the antenna elements and all electronic components are contained. These components are electrically isolated from the rest of the coil packaging by being enclosed within suitable non-conductive, water-rated, and flame-rated materials. A layer of padding is located on either side of the coil circuitry to provide patient comfort and protection against potential heating generated by circuitry components. The RF coil is a "fixed matching and tuning device" (i.e. not tunable by the operator), thereby eliminating the need to tune and match it for every patient.

Indications for Use

The Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil is to be used in conjunction with compatible 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners and approved xenon Xe 129 hyperpolarized for oral inhalation for evaluation of lung ventilation in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older.

Substantial Equivalence

The Polarean XENOVIEW 3.0T Chest Coil is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, Cardiovascular Array Coils, Models CAC-63-16, CAC-63-32, CAC-123-32, and CAC-127-16 (K061952).
