Intended Use
The TREX MRI system produces cross-sectional images: - Anatomical Region: General body anatomy, including head, spine, forso, and extremities - Nucleus excited: 1H nuclei (Proton) - Diagnostic uses: Images correspond to the distribution of 1H nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance, with image intensity dependent upon NMR parameters, including spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) spin-spin relaxation time (T2) density of nuclei (p) flow velocity chemical shift (δ) - Clinical use: Images may be interpreted by a trained physician to yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.
Device Description
The TREX MRI 0.15T Elliptical MRI Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device is being enhanced by three additional RF Coils (Head Coil [quadrature], C-Spine Coil [quadrature], and Knee Coil [linear]) to increase the clinical utility of the TREX MRI in the stationary configuration. The new quadrature Head Coil (Field Effects P/N 96530-01) will have a smaller diameter of 19 cm. The reduction in diameter will allow for improved coil fill factor, increasing SNR, while maintaining optimal coil uniformity. This new coil will replace the original Head Coil. The new C-Spine Coil Field Effects P/N 96529-01) is substantially re-designed from the original coil, optimized for Cervical Spine imaging, and reducing the potential for patient anxiety and claustrophobia. This new coil utilizes a proprietary multiple receiver coil design, and will replace the original C-Spine/Knee Special Purpose Coil. The new Knee Coil (Field Effects P/N 96629-01) utilizes a proprietary solenoid receiver coil design optimized for knee and extremity anatomies, improving coil fill factor, and increased S/N Ratio. TREX MRI software did not need to be revised in order to support full functionality of these coils.

No
The summary focuses on hardware enhancements (RF coils) and explicitly states that the software did not need revision. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic device that produces images to provide information useful for diagnosis, not for therapeutic purposes.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "Diagnostic uses: Images correspond to the distribution of 1H nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance, with image intensity dependent upon NMR parameters..." and "Clinical use: Images may be interpreted by a trained physician to yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis." Furthermore, the "Device Description" identifies the device as "The TREX MRI 0.15T Elliptical MRI Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device." These statements clearly indicate its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly details the addition of three physical RF coils, which are hardware components of the MRI system.

Based on the provided information, the TREX MRI system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • TREX MRI Function: The TREX MRI system produces images of the internal anatomy of the body by utilizing magnetic resonance. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system produces cross-sectional images of general body anatomy for diagnostic purposes, interpreted by a trained physician. This is consistent with imaging devices, not IVDs.

Therefore, the TREX MRI system 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.
