Intended Use
The Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil is a receive-only quadrature RF coil, used for obtaining diagnostic images of the knee anatomy in Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR Imaging. The Quadrature Knee Coil is designed for use with GE Signa (1.5 Tesla) MRI scanner manufactured by GE Medical Systems. The Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil is designed to provide Magnetic Resonance Images of the knee anatomy. The Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil is designed for use with the GE Signa (1.5 Tesla) MRI Scanner. The indications for use are the same as for standard imaging: The GE Signa system is indicated for use as an NMR device that produces images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR signal, (2) depend upon NMR parameters (proton density, spin lattice relaxation time T1, spin-spin relaxation time T2) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head and whole body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.
Device Description
The Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil is a bird-cage resonator. The electrical circuitry is enclosed in a durable housing assembly made of polyurethane material, which is fire rated and has high impact and tensile strength. The Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil is a quadrature volume coil with a split-top design.

No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the hardware component (RF coil) for image acquisition, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities for image processing or analysis.

No
The device is described as a "receive-only quadrature RF coil, used for obtaining diagnostic images of the knee anatomy" and its purpose is to "yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis." It is an imaging device used for diagnosis, not for treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "used for obtaining diagnostic images of the knee anatomy in Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems" and that these images, "When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis." This explicitly links the device's output to diagnostic purposes.

No

The device is described as a physical RF coil with electrical circuitry and a housing assembly, which are hardware components.

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 Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil is an accessory for an MRI system. Its function is to receive radiofrequency signals from the knee during an MRI scan to produce images. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain diagnostic images of the knee anatomy using MRI. This is an in-vivo imaging procedure, not an in-vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Leo 7000 Quadrature Knee Coil falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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.
