Indications for Use
The Sentinelle Breast MRI tabletop with 16 Channel Coil Array for Siemens 1.5T/3T MRI Systems is designed to provide magnetic resonance images of breast anatomy when used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner. These images are interpreted by a trained physician. When used with a disposable sterile plate (biopsy grid), the device permits access to breast anatomy for biopsy and localization procedures.
Device Story
The Sentinelle Breast MRI Tabletop is a receive-only phased array coil system for Siemens 1.5T/3T MRI scanners. It supports the patient in a prone position, immobilizing the breast via a compression system and plates. The device collects RF emissions from nuclei excited by the MRI scanner. It features 2, 10, or 16 coil elements to improve signal-to-noise ratio and image resolution. For interventional procedures, a sterile, disposable fenestrated biopsy grid is used to guide needles while minimizing tissue motion. The system enables advanced pulse sequences, including diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and spectroscopy. Used in clinical settings by physicians, the output consists of high-resolution MR images that assist in breast lesion detection, characterization, and biopsy guidance. The device benefits patients by providing enhanced image detail and enabling minimally invasive interventional access.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified via NEMA standards for phased array coils. Testing included SNR evaluation, heating/performance output, passive detuning, field distortion, RF noise, switch-over Tx-Rx, and voltage stability. Volunteer imaging was performed to confirm clinical utility. No clinical trials or patient outcome data were required.
Technological Characteristics
Receive-only phased array coil (2, 10, or 16 elements). Materials: flame-retardant polycarbonate, acetal resin, polyurethane. Decoupling: active PIN diode switching and passive blocking circuitry. Compatible with Siemens MAGNETOM Espree (1.5T) and TRIO (3T) scanners. Non-ferrous construction. RF power deposition limited by scanner SAR program.
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures (biopsy, wire localization) of the breast and axillary region in patients undergoing MRI. For use by trained physicians.
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.

V. Device Description
The Sentinelle Breast MRI Tabletop with 16 Channel Coil Array for Siemens 1.5/3T MRI Systems is a receive-only MRI imaging coil and interventional system for breast anatomy. The system consists of a tabletop which supports the patient and imaging coils which provide a means of enabling interventional device guidance.

Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Sentinelle Medical. The logo consists of a geometric shape on the left and the words "sentinelle MEDICAL" on the right. The word "sentinelle" is in a larger font than the word "MEDICAL", which is stacked below it.
The tabletop, like other breast coils provides an aperture to admit the breasts and provides the physician access to the breast(s). This aperture enables the guidance of interventional devices (such as biopsy needles), when performing a biopsy.
The tabletop's compression system facilitates immobilization of the breast for imaging and interventional procedures and serves to hold the individual imaging coils in proximity to the breast(s).
Compression plates (also referred to as immobilization plates) provided with the system are held in frames, which may be positioned in the left-right and anteriorposterior directions and fixed in place to gently immobilize one or both breasts for interventional procedures.
When performing a stereotactic interventional procedure (such as biopsy or wire localization), one or more compression plates may be interchanged for a sterile, single use, disposable fenestrated plate (also referred to as biopsy grid) cleared under FDA 510(k) Number: K060873. The biopsy grid contains apertures that permit the physician to access the breast for intervention, while minimizing tissue motion.
When performing biopsy and/or imaging of a single breast, the system may be used with two compression plates immobilizing that breast. The contralateral breast support prevents the contralateral breast from interfering with medial-approach interventions.
When imaging both breasts, a medial coil element is used between the breasts in conjunction with two lateral coils.
The tabletop's receive-only coil system acts to passively collect RF emissions from the nuclei excited by the MRI. The function of the tabletop is substantially equivalent

to predicate devices used for breast MRI imaging and intervention, including our legally marketed device [510(K) Number: K100113].
The Sentinelle phased array breast coil set consists of 2, 10 or 16 RF coil elements in a phased array design. The coil elements and electronics are enclosed in a rigid housing that is resistant to fluid ingress and is fire retardant. The coils are positioned close to the patient's breast during imaging. This receive-only coil is designed to give an improved signal-to-noise ratio, image resolution and image acquisition over that of a standard body coil.
The Sentinelle 16Ch Coil Array for Siemens 1.5/3T MRI Systems, receive-only coil provides the following benefits:
- . an increase in the Signal-to-Noise Ratio improving image detail in the breast including axilla and chest wall regions
- a decrease in imaging acquisition time resulting from enhanced parallel . imaging capability
- . allows the user to perform advanced pulse sequences including (but not limited to) diffusion weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging and spectroscopy imaging
- allows for the use of IPAT squared and acceleration factors up to 4 in L-R . and 2 in S-I and A-P direction in a diagnostic imaging state
This system is compatible with:
0 Siemens 16 Channel, 1.5T MRI Scanners (Siemens MAGNETOM Espree)
- C Siemens 16 Channel, 3T MRI Scanners (Siemens MAGNETOM TRIO)
A full description of the system in form and function and the accompanying technical drawings were provided in the Traditional 510(K) cleared in April 2006 under FDA 510(k) Number: K060873 and Special 510(k) cleared in April 2010 under FDA 510(k) Number: K100113.

Dear Ms. Medley:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
