Intended Use

The MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is an open, whole body scanner designed to support improved higher resolution imaging and shorter scan times. The MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to, the musculoskeletal, vascular, cardiac, and neuro systems. The images produced by the Rhapsody system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spinspin relaxation time (T2) and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. Due to the 'open' design of the system, the Rhapsody may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR safe biopsy needles.

Device Story

Open, whole-body 1.0T superconducting MRI scanner; produces transverse, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images based on proton density, T1, T2, and flow. Operated by trained physicians/technicians in clinical settings. Supports interventional procedures using MR-compatible accessories (e.g., biopsy needles, in-room displays). Images interpreted by physicians to assist in clinical diagnosis. Modified version of existing Rhapsody system featuring updated bearing design.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance verified against NEMA standards for measurement of safety and performance parameters, including static field, RF power deposition, acoustic noise, signal-to-noise ratio, image uniformity, geometric distortion, and spatial resolution.

Technological Characteristics

1.0T open superconducting magnet; modified bearing design. Conforms to NEMA standards for performance and IEC standards for safety. Imaging based on magnetic resonance of hydrogen nuclei (proton density, T1, T2, flow).

Indications for Use

Indicated for diagnostic imaging of internal structures and organs of the entire body (musculoskeletal, vascular, cardiac, neuro) in patients requiring MRI. Used for interventional procedures with MR-compatible devices. Prescription use only.

Regulatory Classification

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).

Special Controls

*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.

#### · Device Description:

#### · Intended Use

The MAGNETOM Rhapsody system is an open, whole body scanner designed to support improved higher resolution imaging and shorter scan times. The Rhapsody system is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce transverse, sagittal, system is marouted for asges of the internal structures and organs of the entire body, including, but not limited to, the musculoskeletal, vascular, cardiac, and neuro systems. The images produced by the Rhapsody system reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin the minge upportation of thow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.

Due to the 'open' design of the system, the Rhapsody may also be used for Due to the 'open' design of tall procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR safe biopsy needles.

### · Technological Characteristics

The Modified MAGNETOM Rhapsody System is a 1.0 T open superconducting magnet designed scanner. It consists of the same types of hardware (with a modified SAFE designed bearing in the currently available MAGNETOM Rhapsody systems. These original systems were cleared under premarket notification K003628.

## · General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

Operation of the Modified MAGNETOM Rhapsody System is substantially equivalent to the commercially available MAGNETOM Rhapsody System. The following are the safety parameter with action levels:

- Maximum Static Field
- Rate of Change of Magnetic Field
- RF Power Deposition
- Acoustic Noise Levels

and performance levels

- Specification Volume
- Signal to Noise
- Image Uniformity
- Geometric Distortion
- Slice Profile, Thickness and Gap
- High Contrast Spatial Resolution

specified by the FDA guidance document for MR Diagnostic Devices that will be operation The modified MAGNETOM Rhapsody will conform to the FDA recognized

{2}------------------------------------------------

NEMA Standards for the measurement of performance and safety parameters and the international IEC standard for safety issues with Magnetic Resonance Imaging Devices. This will assure that the performance of this device can be considered safe and effective with respect to the currently available MAGNETOM Rhapsody system.
