Intended Use
The Signa SP Flexible Coll family provides imaging capability for the Signa SP MR System by facilitating magnetic resonance imaging of irregular anatomy and providing a mechanism for static or dynamic (i.e., flexion of joints or the spine) dynamic magnetic resonance imaging.
Device Description
The Signa SP Flex Colls are a group of symmetric transmit/receive surface colls of varying dimensions that are coupled as helmholtz pairs and contained in a flexible, biocompatible outer covering.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical coil for MRI and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
Explanation: The device is described as providing imaging capability for an MR system, facilitating magnetic resonance imaging, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No

Explanation: The device, a coil for an MRI system, facilitates imaging. There is no information to suggest it processes the images or aids in providing a diagnosis. Its function is limited to image acquisition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a group of "symmetric transmit/receive surface coils" contained in a "flexible, biocompatible outer covering," indicating it is a hardware component used in magnetic resonance imaging.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "facilitating magnetic resonance imaging of irregular anatomy and providing a mechanism for static or dynamic... magnetic resonance imaging." This describes a device used during an imaging procedure on a patient, not a device used to test samples outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details "symmetric transmit/receive surface coils" used in an MR system. This aligns with the components of an imaging system, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Signa SP Flexible Coil family is a component of a medical imaging system, not an IVD.

§ 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 Signa SP Flexible Coll family provides imaging capability for the Signa SP MR System by facilitating magnetic resonance imaging of irregular anatomy and providing a mechanism for static or dynamic (i.e., flexion of joints or the spine) dynamic magnetic resonance imaging.

2) Device Description

The Signa SP Flex Colls are a group of symmetric transmit/receive surface colls of varying dimensions that are coupled as helmholtz pairs and contained in a flexible, biocompatible outer covering.

3) Marketing History

The Signa SP Flex Colls have not been previously marketed by GE Medical Systems.

4) Potential Adverse Effects on Health

The use of the Signa SP Flex Colls does not result in any additional potential hazards compared to previously marketed flexible transmit/receive surface colls.

5) Conclusions

It is the opinion of GE Medical Systems that the Signa SP Flex Colls are substantially equivalent to the presently marketed transmit/receive flexible surface coll contained in the Signa SP MR System (K942604).
