Yes
The document explicitly mentions "Al features (Deep Resolve Boost and Deep Resolve Sharp)" and provides details about the training and testing of these features, including sample sizes, data sources, and performance metrics like PSNR and SSIM, which are commonly used in evaluating AI/ML models for image processing.
No.
The device is described as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device that produces images to assist in diagnosis, not for therapeutic purposes.
Yes
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states, "The MAGNETOM system is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)". It also mentions that the images and derived parameters, when interpreted by a physician, "yield information that may assist in diagnosis."
No
The device description explicitly states "MAGNETOM Amira and MAGNETOM Sempra with syngo MR XA50M include new and modified features comparing to the predicate devices MAGNETOM Amira and MAGNETOM Sempra with syngo MR XA12M". The predicate devices are described as "magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)", which are hardware systems. The summary also mentions "Tested Hardware or Software: New local coils, new and modified software features, pulse sequence types" and "Tested Hardware or Software: - SNR and image uniformity measurements for coils - Heating measurements for coils" in the performance studies, indicating hardware components are part of the system.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the MAGNETOM system is a "magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD)" that produces images and spectra of the internal structure and/or function of the body. It is used for imaging and assisting in diagnosis when interpreted by a trained physician. This describes an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The MAGNETOM system does not perform tests on such samples.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the hardware and software features of an MRI system.
- Input Imaging Modality: The input is Magnetic Resonance, which is an imaging technique applied directly to the patient, not to a sample.
- Anatomical Site: The device images the head, body, or extremities of the patient.
- Intended User: The intended users are healthcare professionals responsible for acquiring and processing magnetic resonance images, which aligns with an imaging device.
While the device uses AI for image processing (Deep Resolve Boost and Deep Resolve Sharp), this processing is applied to the in vivo acquired MR images, not to in vitro samples.
Therefore, the MAGNETOM system is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an IVD.
No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MAGNETOM system is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These images and/or spectra and the physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
The MAGNETOM system may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as in-room displays and MR Safe biopsy needles.

Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Deep Resolve Boost:
Sample size: 26,473 2D slices. Note: due to reasons of data privacy, we did not record how many individuals the datasets belong to. Gender, age and ethnicity distribution was also not recorded during data collection. Due to the network architecture, attributes like gender, age and ethnicity are not relevant to the training data.
Sample source: in-house measurements and collaboration partners
Dataset split: Training: 24,599 slices. Note: Data split maintained similar data distribution (e.g. contrast, orientation, field strength, ...) in both training and validation datasets.
Equipments: 1.5T and 3T MRI scanners
Protocols: Representative protocols (T1, T2 and PD with and without fat saturation) which have been altered (e.g. to increase SNR, increase resolution or reduced acceleration).
Body regions: a broad range of different body regions
Clinical subgroups: No clinical subgroups have been defined for the datasets.
Confounders: The input and output variables of the network have been derived from the same dataset so that no confounders exist for the training methodology.
Reference standard: The acquired datasets represent the ground truth for the training and validation. Input data was retrospectively created from the ground truth by data manipulation and augmentation. This process includes further under-sampling of the data by discarding k-space lines, lowering of the SNR level by addition of noise and mirroring of k-space data.
Deep Resolve Sharp:
Sample size: 13,977 2D slices. Note: due to reasons of data privacy, we did not record how many individuals the datasets belong to.
