No
The summary describes a passive RF receive-only coil for MRI and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The image processing is performed by the MRI scanner, not the coil itself.
No
The device is used to produce images for diagnostic and/or interventional planning, not for treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use" section explicitly states that the device provides "information used by the MRI system to produce diagnostic and/or interventional planning images of the breast, axilla, and chest wall" and that these images are "interpreted by medical professionals as part of clinical decision making." This indicates its role in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description explicitly details physical hardware components like a coil support structure, patient support structure, biopsy components, accessories, and comfort pads, and describes the coil's function in receiving RF signals.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body. The NeoCoil 16ch Breast Coils are used on the body during an MRI scan to receive signals generated within the body.
- The intended use is for imaging and diagnostic/interventional planning based on those images. This is a function of an imaging device, not an IVD.
- The device description focuses on receiving RF signals from protons within the body and transferring them to the MRI scanner for image processing. This is the core function of an MRI coil.
The device is clearly an accessory for an MRI system, which is an imaging modality used for diagnosis, but it does not perform in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The NeoCoil 3.0T 16ch Breast Coil is a phased array coil for imaging structures of the breast, axilla and chest wall. The 3.0T 16ch Breast Coil is a three part receive-only coil designed to provide high resolution imaging. The .3.0T 16ch Breast Coil includes a coil support structure, patient support structure, biopsy components, accessories and comfort pads.
The NeoCoil 3.0T 16ch Breast Coil is tuned to receive RF frequency corresponding to the proton precession in a 3 tesla magnetic field, which is governed by the Larmor equation.
The 16ch Breast Coils are intended for use in a manner that is identical to the predicate device and reference device described in this submission 3.0T 16ch Breast Coil, K173377, cleared on 11/28/2017 and 1.5T 16ch Breast Coil, K182958, cleared on 11/16/2018. The 16ch Breast Coil consists of the following arrays available in 1.5T, 3.0T and 3T field strengths:
- Medial Array, Breast Coil
- Lateral Array Left, Breast Coil
- Lateral Array Right, Breast Coil
- Baseplate Assembly, Breast Coil
- Biopsy Array Left, Breast Coil
- Biopsy Array Right, Breast Coil
The coils receive magnetic resonance signals generated in hydrogen nuclei (protons) in the Head. Neck and Brachial Plexus anatomy while blocking the high-frequency magnetic field applied by the MRI scanner at specified timings. The received signals are amplified before being transferred to the MRI scanner through the coil's system cable. The amplified signals are processed into tomographic images of the breast, axilla and chest wall anatomy by the MRI scanner. Images are typically generated as axial, sagittal, coronal oblique slices. Accessories associated with the 16ch Breast Coils include biopsy grids and biopsy drapes.
The 1.5T Breast Coil, the 3T 16ch Breast Coil, and the 3.0T 16ch Breast Coil are tuned to receive RF frequency corresponding to the proton precession in a 1.5 tesla and 3.0 tesla magnetic field (respectively), which is governed by the Larmor equation.
The 16ch Breast Coil is intended for use in a manner that is identical to the predicate device described in this submission.
Proposed labeling is documented in the Instructions for Use manual for the 16ch Breast Coil (NC149IFU-en).
