The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a console, power pack, and powerhead, which are essential for the device's function of injecting contrast media.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for injecting MR contrast agents and flushing solutions for the purpose of enhancing diagnostic imaging of humans." This describes a device used in vivo (within a living organism) to facilitate imaging, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
- Device Description: The description details a system that injects fluids into the vascular system of a human during an MRI procedure. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, detecting analytes, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.
In summary, the Optistar MR Injector System is a medical device used to administer substances to a patient for imaging purposes, which falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic support, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The Optistar MR is a contrast delivery system that is designed to inject image enhancing contrast media into the vascular system of a human during an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) procedure.
The main components of the Optistar MR system are the console, power pack, and powerhead. The console resides in the control room of the MR suite, while the power pack and powerhead remain in the scanning room with the patient. The parameters of the injection, such as volume and flow rate are programmed by the operator using a touch screen on the console. The console is powered by AC line voltage at 110 Volts at 60 Hz. The console communicates with the 24 VDC powerpack which in turn supplies power and the injection parameters to the powerhead. The powerhead performs the injections by driving one or two lead screw rams. The rams push the plunger of a syringe, which expels fluid from the barrel of the syringe.
Powerhead: The powerhead provides a means for accepting and identifying a given syringe and then applying a force to the plunger of the syringe via a ram, which ejects contrast from the syringe. The powerhead communicates with the power pack in order to determine the flow rates and volumes designated by the user. This information is then relayed to the injector. The powerhead resides in the imaging room with the scanner.
Console: The console is the main user interface for the iniector system. It allows the user to input the injection parameters via a touch screen as well as view the results of an injection. The console incorporates a remote hand switch for starting or stopping an injection. The console resides in the control room of the MR imaging suite.
Power Pack: The power pack is the interface between the console and the powerhead. The power pack processes the information input by the user from the console and relays this information to the powerhead. The power pack also supplies the powerhead with DC voltage. Two batteries supply the power pack. The power pack resides in the imaging room with the scanner.
The system is designed to deliver two injections per procedure. It can deliver a single or dual phase contrast injection from a user filled syringe and then follow up with an injection of a flushing solution, such as saline. To accomplish this task the powerhead holds two syringes with the ability to inject both syringes. Two syringe sizes can be used with the Optistar MR system, a 60 ml size and a 25 ml size. In addition, a Y tubing set is used to transfer the contrast flushing solution to the patient. One short leg of the Y connects to the contrast filled syringe using a luer lock connector. The other short leg of the Y connects to the syringe with the flushing solution using a luer lock connector. The long single leg of the Y goes to the patient.
The system also includes a battery charger, which is used to recharge the 24 V batteries.

Summary of Performance Studies
Performance testing was completed in order to verify that the Optistar MR Injector System was capable of achieving the specification parameters for the system as outlined in the substantial equivalence chart. Verification of the system's ability to accurately achieve these values validates the substantial equivalence claims. Injection performance was tested for accuracy of delivered flow rate, volume, pressure, drip mode and manual speeds.
Volume: Fluid delivery of an injector is characterized by the volume delivered and the flow rate. The volume delivered is the most critical parameter in that it has the greatest effect on image quality. During the testing, the volume delivered was accurately measured and compared to the volume programmed. Over the range of volumes programmed, the Optistar MR Injector system successfully delivered the programmed volume within the allowable specification accuracy. This held true regardless of syringe size (25 ml or 60 ml), injection side (A or B) or phase type (single or dual).
Flow Rate: The second most important variable in delivering fluid to a patient is flow rate. During the test injections, the time duration for an injection was recorded along with the volume delivered. The flow rate delivered was then calculated. Any injection accurately measured, that was not pressure limited, fell within the specified range. At higher flow rates, through a restricted orifice, the injector limits the pressure in the syringe by reducing the flow rate. In this case, the flow rate will not be achieved; however, the programmed volume will still be delivered.
Pressure: During an injection, the injector monitors pressure in order to determine if the injection should be pressure limited. An upper limit is set for each syringe type used in the injector, in order to avoid failure of the syringe. During a number of injections pressure was measured and compared to the pressure displayed by the injector. In all cases the injector was within the accuracy range.
Drip Mode: Drip mode is used to keep a catheter or a vein open. The injector achieves this by administrating small increments of fluid over short time intervals. The injector allows the programming of the volume increment, a time interval and a flow rate. The performance of drip mode was evaluated by measuring the total volume delivered over a predetermined time period. Given a volume increment, a time interval, a flow rate and a measuring time period an expected volume was calculated and then compared to an actual measured volume to determine the accuracy for those parameters. Over the range of various drip mode parameters, the system fell within the specified accuracy range for all cases.
Manual Retract and Extend Speeds: The Optistar MR Injector has two speeds for manually moving the rams. By depressing either the forward or reverse key, the ram should move 1 ml/s. By pressing the accelerator key in combination with the forward or reverse key, the ram should move 5 ml/s. The tested speeds were within a specified accuracy range for both slow and fast speeds, for both A and B side, and for both 25 ml and 60 ml syringes.
Key Results: The Optistar MR Injector System proved its ability to perform within its specified parameters. As a result, its performance is deemed acceptable and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence:
A comparison chart is shown on the next page that compares the technological characteristics of the Optistar MR Injection System to the predicate device, the Spectris MR Injection System. The performance and effectiveness of the Optistar MR is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The new injector safely and successfully injects MR contrast media at user specified flow rates and volumes in an MR environment. The primary differences from the predicate device lie in the area of user preference features. The differences do not adversely affect the safety or efficacy of the device. A summary of the testing that verified the technological characteristics of the Optistar MR follow shall follow the comparison chart.
