The Indications for Use for the Signa Profile Quadrature Thoracic/Lumbar Spine Phased Array Coil expands the imaging performance of the Signa Profile System. The Quadrature Thoracic / Lumbar spine Phased Array coil can also be used to image the following regions of anatomy: Thoracic Spine, Lumbar Spine, Chest, Abdomen, Pelvis, Hips.

Device Description

The Profile Quadrature Thoracic/Lumbar Spine Phased Array Coil is a receive only coil and can receive the quadrature signal. It is designed for use with a vertical magnetic field MR imaging system.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Signa Profile Quadrature Thoracic/Lumbar Spine Phased Array Coil). It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than providing detailed acceptance criteria and study results for specific performance metrics.

Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, ground truth, and expert involvement are not explicitly present in the given document. The document primarily states that the device was evaluated to appropriate NEMA performance standards and International safety standards (IEC 601-1 and IEC 601-2-33) and performed to stated specifications. However, it does not elaborate on what those specific performance criteria were or how the device's performance measured against them.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted, and what is missing based on the provided text:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
NEMA performance standardsEvaluated to appropriate NEMA performance standards. Performed to stated specifications.
IEC 601-1 safety standardsEvaluated to IEC 601-1. Performed to stated specifications.
IEC 601-2-33 safety standardsEvaluated to IEC 601-2-33. Performed to stated specifications.
Substantial Equivalence to Signa Profile Body Flexible CoilThe coil does not result in any new potential hazards. Substantially equivalent to the presently marketed Signa Profile Body Flexible Coil.

Missing Information: The document does not provide specific numerical or qualitative performance metrics against which the device was evaluated for NEMA or IEC standards. It only states that the device "performed to stated specifications" without detailing those specifications.


2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: Not specified. The study appears to be a technical evaluation of the coil's performance against standards, not a clinical study with patient samples.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of a technical performance evaluation described. The evaluation was likely performed in a lab setting by the manufacturer (GE Yokogawa Medical Systems, Ltd. in Tokyo, Japan).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable/not specified. The "ground truth" here would be the adherence to technical standards and specifications, not clinical diagnoses requiring expert consensus.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable/not specified.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable/not specified. Standard compliance is typically verified through testing against defined protocols, not through expert adjudication in this context.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • MRMC Study: No, this was not an MRMC study. This device is an MR coil, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for interpretation by human readers.
  • Effect Size: Not applicable.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Standalone Performance: Not applicable. This is a hardware component (an MR coil), not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" implicitly referred to here are the technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in the NEMA and IEC standards. The device's performance was measured against these predefined engineering and safety benchmarks.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is a hardware device; there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable.

Dear Dr. Kroger:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enolosure) 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, market the device, 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 II (Special Controls) or 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 the Electronic Product 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.
