The document describes standard MR imaging techniques and software updates focused on image acquisition sequences and processing, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The intended use explicitly states that the MR system is an "imaging device" whose purpose is to provide "physiological and clinical information" and images that "can be useful in diagnosis determination," a function of diagnostic devices, not therapeutic ones.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the MR system provides information that "can be useful in diagnosis determination" when interpreted by a trained physician.
No
The device is described as an "MR system," which is an imaging device. While the submission details software revisions, the core device is a hardware-based Magnetic Resonance system, not a standalone software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "imaging device" that provides "physiological and clinical information" through "non-invasive" means. It produces images of internal structures.
- Mechanism: The device utilizes Magnetic Resonance (MR) to generate images based on the spatial distribution of protons. This is an in-vivo imaging technique, not an in-vitro test performed on biological samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or performing tests on specimens.
IVD devices are designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is an imaging system used to visualize internal structures of the body directly.

Intended Use / Indications for 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 crosssectional 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-lattion 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.

3.2 SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS
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 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 time-varying magnetic gradient fields have a typical duration of submillisecond 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.
