Intended Use

The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is a receive only phased array RF coil used to produce diagnostic images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvic area in Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems that can be interpreted by a trained physician. The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is designed for use with the 3.0T HD Series MR System manufactured by General Electric Healthcare (GEHC).

Device Story

Multi-element phased array receive-only RF coil; captures MR signals from chest, abdomen, and pelvic regions. Comprises two antenna arrays: posterior (17 elements, 16 channels, rigid housing) and anterior (17 elements, 16 channels, flexible housing). Wrapped around patient torso using hook and loop straps. Used in clinical MRI settings; operated by trained radiology staff. Output consists of raw RF signal data processed by GE 3.0T HD Series MR System to produce diagnostic images. Physician interprets images to aid clinical decision-making. Benefits include high-channel count imaging for improved diagnostic clarity in torso applications.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing demonstrated that the device design met predetermined acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Receive-only phased array RF coil. 34 total antenna elements (17 posterior, 17 anterior). 32-channel output. Rigid posterior housing; flexible anterior housing. Hook and loop strap fixation. Compatible with 3.0T GE HD series MR systems. Non-invasive, passive sensing device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for 2D and 3D magnetic resonance imaging and parallel body imaging of the abdomen, pelvis, and chest regions on 3.0T GE HD series Magnetic Resonance scanners.

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.

Predicate Devices

• GE 3.0T Torso Phased Array Coil (K030495)
• GE 1.5T 8 Channel Torso Coil (K031209)

| Indications for Use | The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is intended to be used in the abdomen, pelvis, and chest regions for 2D and 3D magnetic resonance imaging and parallel body imaging for use on 3.0T GE HD series Magnetic Resonance scanners. |
| Performance Standards: | No applicable performance standards have been issued under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. |
| Device Description: | The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is a multi-element phased array receive only coil used for obtaining diagnostic images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvic area in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems. The coil consists of 2 antenna arrays; a posterior and an anterior. The posterior array contains 17 elements to achieve 16 channels and is enclosed in a rigid housing. The anterior array also contains 17 elements to achieve the later 16 channels but is enclosed in a flexible housing. The coil is wrapped around the patient's torso with hook and loop straps. The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is for use with the GE 3.0T HD Series MR System (K052293) |
| Predicate Devices: | GE 3.0T Torso Phased Array Coil (K030495) GE 1.5T 8 Channel Torso Coil (K031209) |
| Comparison to Predicate: | The NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil is most similar to the GE 1.5T 8 Channel Torso Coil (K031209) with the main differences being the number of elements and the field strength. The NeoCoil Torso Coil uses 34 |

elements compared to 12. It also operates at 3.0T like the GE 3.0T Torso Phased Array Coil (K030495) instead of 1.5T. Testing was performed to demonstrate to that the design of the NeoCoil 3.0T Summary of Studies: 32-Channel Torso Array Coil met predetermined acceptance criteria. It is the opinion of NeoCoil that the NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Conclusion:

Coil is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Use of the NeoCoil 3.0T 32-Channel Torso Array Coil does not result in any new potential hazards and does not alter the safety of the MRI scanner.
