More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical coil for MR imaging and does not mention any software or processing capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

No.
The device is a coil for an MR imaging system, used for diagnostic imaging rather than therapy. Its intended use is the same as for standard MR imaging, which is a diagnostic procedure.

No
The device is a coil for an MR imaging system, which is a tool used in the diagnostic process but does not itself provide a diagnosis. Its function is to acquire images, not to interpret them or determine a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Phased Array Neck Coil" consisting of "two coil elements" and "associated circuitry" covered by "ABS and polycarbonate enclosures," indicating it is a physical hardware component for an MR imaging system.

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 the device is a "Phased Array Neck Coil" used in conjunction with an "MR Imaging System." Its purpose is to provide coverage of the neck region for standard MR imaging.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on materials taken from the body. Its function is to facilitate the acquisition of images using magnetic resonance technology.

Therefore, the Phased Array Neck Coil is 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.
