Intended Use
The Indications for Use for the Signa Profile 9 Inch Diameter Coil and Kinematic Positioner Options expands the capability of the Signa Profile System. The Kinematic Positioner accommodates and improves imaging of the knee and surrounding structures. The 9 inch Coil is intended for imaging of the cervical spine, shoulder, knee and surrounding structures.
Device Description
Profile 9 Inch Coil consists of a linear solenoid coil. The lt is a split two part design that has a base and a removable top to facilitate patient positioning. It is designed for use with a vertical magnetic field MR imaging system. The Kinematic Positioner provides support for the legs for MR scanning. It has two usages. One is for a scan when the scanned leg is fixed, and the other is while the scanned leg is moving down.

No
The document describes a physical coil and positioner for an MR system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an accessory (coil and positioner) for an MR imaging system, intended for imaging anatomical structures. Its purpose is diagnostic imaging, not treatment.

No
The device is described as an accessory (coil and positioner) for an MR imaging system, used for improved imaging of certain anatomical sites. It does not independently perform diagnosis but rather facilitates the acquisition of images which are then interpreted by a healthcare professional.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components: a linear solenoid coil and a split two-part design with a base and removable top. It also describes a Kinematic Positioner which provides physical support.

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 that this device is a coil and positioner for an MR imaging system. These are components used to acquire images of the inside of the body using magnetic fields and radio waves.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for imaging of specific anatomical sites (cervical spine, shoulder, knee). This is an imaging procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device is a medical device used for diagnostic imaging, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

Image /page/2/Picture/3 description: The image shows a partial view of a logo or emblem, featuring three stylized, curved lines stacked vertically. These lines appear to be thicker at the top and taper slightly as they descend. To the left of these lines, a portion of text is visible, arranged in a curved, vertical orientation, suggesting it is part of a circular design. The text is cut off, making it difficult to read, but it seems to be a word or phrase associated with the emblem.

Dear Dr. Kroger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
