This submission consists of a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging system which is based primarily on the cleared EXCELARTTM (K990620) with the following new functions added to the standard system. • Pianissimo: Gradient acoustic reduction system • QD Whole Body coil • QD Head coil • QD C/T/L Spine Array coil • 18.1" LCD flat screen monitor • Increase of SAR limit from
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device Accessory (MRI system), specifically the EXCELART™ with Pianissimo. The submission is focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for a novel AI algorithm or diagnostic tool.
Therefore, many of the requested categories (e.g., sample sizes for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, MRMC studies, standalone performance) are not applicable or not explicitly detailed in this type of submission for this kind of device. The focus here is on the safety and performance characteristics of the MRI system itself and its accessories.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, indicating what information is available and what is not:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
For an MRI system, performance is generally evaluated against safety parameters and imaging capabilities rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics. The document specifies safety parameters and imaging volumes.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Acceptance Criteria (from text) | Reported Device Performance (from text) |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Parameters | ||
| Maximum static field strength | - (Implied to meet predicate's 1.5T) | 1.5T |
| Rate of change of magnetic field | - (Implied to meet predicate's ~19.5 T/sec.) | 19.35 T/sec. (Pianissimo) vs 19.5 T/sec (EXCELART™) |
| Maximum radio frequency power (SAR) |
§ 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.
