The 0.2T Extremity coil is a quadrature receive-only coil contained in a biocompatible outer shell. The coil comes with an adjustable positioning base and patient comfort pads for support. It is designed specifically for use with a vertical magnetic field MR imaging system.
More Information

No
The summary describes a passive hardware component (an MR coil) and makes no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is described as an "Extremity Coil" for an "MR imaging system" used to "improve imaging of the knee and surrounding structures" and other extremity body parts. Its intended use is to aid in imaging, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. The description focuses on its role in capturing images for diagnosis, not in treating a condition.

No
The device is described as an "extremity coil" for an MR imaging system, used to "accommodate and improve imaging." This indicates it is a component of an imaging system designed to acquire images, not to interpret or diagnose from those images. Diagnostic devices typically analyze data to provide a diagnosis or aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "quadrature receive-only coil contained in a biocompatible outer shell" and includes physical components like an "adjustable positioning base and patient comfort pads," indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device 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.
  • Device Function: This device is an extremity coil for an MR imaging system. Its purpose is to improve the quality of MR images of extremities. It is a component used during the imaging process, not a test performed on a biological sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it "expands the capability of the 0.2T MR imaging system" and "accommodates and improves imaging." This is about image acquisition, not diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a medical imaging accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.1000 Magnetic resonance diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

1) Indications for Use

The 0.2T Extremity Coil expands the capability of the 0.2T MR imaging system. lt accommodates and improves imaging of the knee and surrounding structures. It can also be used to image other extremity body parts such as the ankle and wrist.

2) Device Description

The 0.2T Extremity coil is a quadrature receive-only coil contained in a biocompatible outer shell. The coil comes with an adjustable positioning base and patient comfort pads for support. It is designed specifically for use with a vertical magnetic field MR imaging system.

    1. Marketing History
      The 0.2T Extremity Coil has not been previously marketed by GE Medical Systems.

4) Potential Adverse Effects on Health

The use of the 0.2T Extremity Coil does not result in any additional potential hazards compared to previously marketed receive-only surface coils.

  • ર) Conclusions
    It is the opinion of GE Medical Systems that the () 2T Extremity Coil is substantially equivalent to the presently marketed GE MR Max Plus Extremity Coil (#K895794).
