The document describes a physical MR coil and its intended use for imaging and interventional procedures. There is no mention of any software component utilizing AI or ML for image processing, analysis, or any other function. The performance studies focus on the physical and electrical safety and performance of the coil itself.
No
The device is used for imaging and diagnostic purposes (MR examination, producing images of internal structures) and potentially for guiding interventional procedures, but it does not directly treat or provide therapy to the patient.
Yes
The device is described as "a standard diagnostic coil for diagnostic examination of the human body" and its intended use is for "MR examination of the human body" to "produce transversal, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures of the body," which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "1-channel receiver coil" and details hardware-related testing (surface heating, electrical/mechanical safety, patient contact materials, EMC immunity), indicating it is a physical hardware component, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "MR examination of the human body" and to "produce transversal, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures of the body." This describes an imaging device used on the body, not a device used to examine samples from the body.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a "receiver coil" for "MR imaging" and can be used "on many different regions of the body." This is consistent with an imaging device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is used to create images of the body itself.

Dear Daniel Kamm:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

- G) SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: The predicate Flex Loop Large Coil from Siemens has a very similar geometry to the device under evaluation. It is also a one-channel receiving coil and has the same diameter of the inner conductor. The absence of directly attached cable to the plug highlights the difference in design. Both devices are compatible with different MRI scanners and used on different field strengths but perform identical functions using similar designs and materials.
