Intended Use
Imaging of the whole body (including the head, abdomen, heart, pelvis, spine, blood vessels, limbs and extremities), fluid visualization, 2D/3D Imaging, MR Angiography, MR Fluoroscopy.
Device Description
The MRT-35A v9.0 is a modification of the MRT-35A system which uses a 0.35T superconducting magnet. The MRT-35A v9.0 is an incremental upgrade to an MRT-35A system which is configured with version 8 hardware and software. The 9.0 upgrade replaces the version 8 computer system. The computer architecture, operational characteristics and user software follow the same design considerations cleared by Flexart™ and Visart™ systems. This 9.0 upgrade makes no change to the MRT-35A version 8 series magnet, gradient system or coil set.
More Information

No
The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on hardware and software upgrades without mentioning AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an imaging system (MRI) used for diagnosis, not for treating any condition. Its intended uses are "Imaging of the whole body," "fluid visualization," "2D/3D Imaging," "MR Angiography," and "MR Fluoroscopy," all of which are diagnostic functions.

Yes

The device, described as an "Imaging of the whole body... fluid visualization, 2D/3D Imaging, MR Angiography, MR Fluoroscopy," clearly indicates its purpose is to create images of the body for medical assessment, which is a key function of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an upgrade to an existing MRT-35A system, which includes a superconducting magnet, gradient system, and coil set. The upgrade replaces the computer system but is part of a larger hardware system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Imaging of the whole body...". This describes a medical imaging device used to visualize internal structures of the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's an "MRT-35A system which uses a 0.35T superconducting magnet," which is a type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system.
  • Nature of IVDs: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform such tests.

The information provided consistently points to a medical imaging device, 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.
