Intended Use
The following MAGNETOM systems: MAGNETOM 1.5 T Avanto MAGNETOM 1.5 T Espree MAGNETOM 1.5 T Symphony a Tim System MAGNETOM 3.0 T Trio a Tim System MAGNETOM 1.0 T Harmony MAGNETOM 1.5 T Symphony MAGNETOM 1.5 T Sonata MAGNETOM 0.2 T Concerto MAGNETOM 3.0 T Trio with syngo Expert—i option described in this premarket notification are indicated for use as magnetic resonance diagnostic devices (MRDD) that produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that display the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. These images and/or spectra, when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis. They may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR safe biopsy needles.
Device Story
The syngo Expert-i option is a software feature for Siemens MAGNETOM MRI systems; it enables remote access to the MRI main or satellite console by authorized personnel within the local radiology department network. The system allows a remote user (e.g., physician or technician) to assist the local operator (e.g., technician) in real-time during scanning. This collaborative workflow aims to improve scan speed and image quality by facilitating expert guidance. The device does not alter the fundamental MR imaging physics or hardware of the predicate systems; it functions as a communication and remote-control interface for the existing console software. Healthcare providers use the remote access to provide guidance, which may influence scan parameters or procedural decisions, potentially benefiting patients through optimized imaging protocols and reduced scan times.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and risk analysis regarding the safety of the remote access software feature.
Technological Characteristics
Software option for existing MAGNETOM MRI systems. Connectivity: Local area network (LAN) integration for remote console access. Hardware: Unchanged from predicate systems. Safety: Risk analysis performed for remote access functionality.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as MR diagnostic devices to produce cross-sectional images and spectra of the head, body, or extremities for diagnostic assistance. Applicable to patients requiring MR imaging, including during interventional procedures using MR-compatible devices. No specific age or gender contraindications stated.
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.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:
The introduction of the syngo Expert—i Option has effect on the MR safety. Therefore a risk analysis has been performed including new safety measures to reduce the residual risks to an acceptable level.
The MRI systems are exactly the same as what was described and cleared in the predicate premarket notifications. Safety testing will be completed before commercial introduction to the market.

The above listed MAGNETOM systems are indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. These images and/or spectra, when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
They may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR safe biopsy needles.
The syngo Expert-i feature allows the local user of the MRI (e.g. tech) to get help and assistance from other personnel of the radiology department (e.g. other tech or physician) to perform scans faster and with better quality. For this purpose, a remote user within the local network of the MRI (i.e. the network of the radiology) can log onto the MR main or satellite console.
