Intended Use
The MR system is an imaging device, and is intended to provide the physician with physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation. The MR system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by the MR system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.
Device Description
The AIRIS MRI Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device is being enhanced by two additional RF Coils (QD HP [High Performance] Wrist Coil, and Shaped Shoulder Coil) to increase the clinical utility of the AIRIS in the stationary configuration. The QD HP [High Performance] Wrist Coil P/N MR-QWC-51 is a new addition to the complement of coils intended for use with AIRIS. The coil utilizes a proprietary multiple receiver quadrature coil design for improved S/N Ratio. The Shaped Shoulder coil P/N MR-SC-51 is identical to the Latchable Large Extremity coil, which was documented in a Memo-to-File document as identical to the original Large Extremity Coil for AIRIS, with the exception that the coil geometry has been curved for easier coil positioning over the anatomy of interest. Safety and effectiveness of the coil are unchanged from the original, and this coil will replace the original coil. AIRIS software did not need to be revised in order to support full functionality of these coils.

The summary focuses on hardware enhancements (RF coils) and mentions standard image processing techniques, with no indication of AI/ML being incorporated.

No
The device is described as an "imaging device" and a "Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device" intended for obtaining "physiological and clinical information" to assist in "diagnosis determination," without any mention of actively treating or curing a condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination." Additionally, the "Device Description" section refers to the device as an "AIRIS MRI Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device."

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components (RF Coils) being added to an existing MR system. While software is mentioned as not needing revision, the core of the submission is about hardware enhancements to a physical imaging device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is an "imaging device" that provides "physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation." It produces images of internal structures.
  • Mechanism: The device works by utilizing Magnetic Resonance (MR) properties of protons to create images. This is an imaging modality, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • IVD Definition: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue, taken from the human body, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the hardware (MR system, RF coils) and its function in acquiring images.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, assays, or any other components typically associated with IVD devices.

The device is a diagnostic imaging device, which is a different category of medical device than an IVD.

3.0 DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

FUNCTION 3.1

The AIRIS MRI Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device is being enhanced by two additional RF Coils (QD HP [High Performance] Wrist Coil, and Shaped Shoulder Coil) to increase the clinical utility of the AIRIS in the stationary configuration.

The QD HP [High Performance] Wrist Coil P/N MR-QWC-51 is a new addition to the complement of coils intended for use with AIRIS. The coil utilizes a proprietary multiple receiver quadrature coil design for improved S/N Ratio.

The Shaped Shoulder coil P/N MR-SC-51 is identical to the Latchable Large Extremity coil, which was documented in a Memo-to-File document as identical to the original Large Extremity Coil for AIRIS, with the exception that the coil geometry has been curved for easier coil positioning over the anatomy of interest. Safety and effectiveness of the coil are unchanged from the original, and this coil will replace the original coil.

AIRIS software did not need to be revised in order to support full functionality of these coils.

SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS 3.2

Magnetic Resonance (MR) is based on the fact that certain atomic nuclei have electromagnetic properties which cause them to act as small spinning bar magnets. The most ubiquitous of these nuclei is hydrogen. which makes it the primary nucleus used in current imaging experiments in magnetic resonance. When placed in a magnetic field, there is a slight net orientation or alignment of these atomic nuclei with the magnetic field. The introduction of a short burst of radiofrequency (RF) excitation of wavelength specific to the magnetic field strength and to the atomic nuclei under consideration can cause a reorientation of the proton's magnetization vector. When the RF excitation is

2

removed, the proton relaxes and returns to its original orientation. The rate of relaxation is exponential, and varies with the character of the proton and its adjacent molecular environment. This reorientation process is characterized by two exponential relaxation times called T1 and T2 which can be measured.

These relaxation events are accompanied by an RF emission or echo which can be measured and used to develop a representation of these emissions on a three dimensional matrix. Spatial localization is encoded into the echo by varying the RF excitation and by appropriately applying magnetic field gradients in x, y, and z directions, and changing the direction and strength of these gradients. Images depicting the spatial distribution of NMR characteristics of the nuclei under consideration can be constructed by using image processing techniques similar to those used in CT.

For magnetic fields up to 1.5T, the RF frequencies commonly used range up to 65MHz. The RF fields have pulse powers from several watts to greater than 10 kilowatts, and repeat at rates from once every few seconds to greater than fifty per second. The timevarying magnetic gradient fields have a typical duration of sub-millisecond to several milliseconds.

PHYSICAL AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS 3.3

MR is currently of great interest because it is capable of producing high quality anatomical images without the associated risks of ionizing radiation. In addition, the biological properties that contribute to MR image contrast are different from those responsible for x-ray image contrast. In x-ray imaging, differences in x-ray attenuation, largely based on differences in electro density are responsible for the contrast observed in x-ray images. In MR imaging, differences in proton density, blood flow, and relaxation times T1 and T2 all may contribute to image contrast. In addition, by varying the duration and spacing of the RF pulses, images may be produced in which the contrast is primarily dependent on T1 relaxation, T2 relaxation, proton density, or a combination of all three.

4.0 DEVICE INTENDED USE:

The MR system is an imaging device, and is intended to provide the physician with physiological and clinical information, obtained non-invasively and without the use of ionizing radiation. The MR system produces transverse, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and curved cross-sectional images that display the internal structure of the head, body, or extremities. The images produced by the MR system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in diagnosis determination.
