Intended Use
The Signa SP Crown Coil family provides imaging capability for the Signa SP MR System by facilitating magnetic resonance imaging of the head and extremities. These coils may also be used for dynamic (i.e., flexion of joints) magnetic resonance Imaging of the extremities.
Device Description
The Signa SP Crown Coils are a group of solenoidal transmit/receive surface colls of varying dimensions that are contained in a flexible, blocompatible outer covering.
More Information

No
The summary describes a passive coil for an MRI system and does not mention any software or processing capabilities that would suggest AI/ML.

No
The device is described as providing "imaging capability" and facilitating "magnetic resonance imaging," indicating its use for diagnostic imaging rather than a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is a coil that facilitates magnetic resonance imaging, which is a method of generating images, not interpreting them for diagnosis. It provides "imaging capability" not diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is a "group of solenoidal transmit/receive surface coils," which are hardware components used in MRI.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "facilitating magnetic resonance imaging of the head and extremities." This is an imaging function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a "solenoidal transmit/receive surface coil," which is a component used in an MRI system to acquire images. It does not describe a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases based on biological markers

The device is a component of an MRI system, which is an imaging modality used for diagnostic purposes, but the coil itself is 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 Crown Coil family provides imaging capability for the Signa SP MR System by facilitating magnetic resonance imaging of the head and extremities. These coils may also be used for dynamic (i.e., flexion of joints) magnetic resonance Imaging of the extremities.

    1. Device Description
      The Signa SP Crown Coils are a group of solenoidal transmit/receive surface colls of varying dimensions that are contained in a flexible, blocompatible outer covering.
    1. Marketing History
      The Signa SP Crown Colls have not been previously marketed by GE Medical Systems.

4) Potential Adverse Effects on Health

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

    1. Conclusions
      It is the opinion of GE Medical Systems that the Signa SP Crown Coils are substantially equivalent with respect to materials and operation to the presently marketed transmit/receive flexible surface coll contained in the Signa SP MR System (K942604) and are similar in utility and general coil type (solenoid) to the 0.2T Extremity Coil (K954353).
