Intended Use
The Flexible Phased Array Spine Coil is designed to provide coverage of the thoracic and lumbar spinal regions of the body. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR imaging.
Device Description
The Flexible Phased Array Spine Coil is a phased array coil package consisting of a solenoid and a saddle coil element. All elements and associated circuitry are enclosed in a flexible vinyl enclosure. The patient is wrapped with the coil allowing for ease of patient positioning. The coil has a fixed circumference and attaches by snapping the ends together.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical coil for MR imaging and does not mention any software or algorithms that would incorporate AI or ML.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is a spine coil for MR imaging, and its intended use is for diagnostic imaging, not therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is a coil for an MR imaging system used to acquire images of the spine, not to interpret or diagnose from those images. Its intended use is the same as for standard MR imaging, which is an imaging modality.

No

The device description explicitly details physical hardware components (solenoid, saddle coil element, flexible vinyl enclosure) and their function in patient positioning, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, 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: The description clearly states that the Flexible Phased Array Spine Coil is a component used with an MR Imaging System to acquire images of the spine. It is a physical coil that interacts with the patient's body during the imaging process.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on substances taken from the body. Its purpose is to facilitate the acquisition of images.

Therefore, the Flexible Phased Array Spine Coil falls under the category of a medical device used for imaging, 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.
