Intended Use
The coils are indicated for use on the order of a physician, in conjunction with Philips 1.5T MR scanners as accessories to produce images of the head, spine and torso.
Device Story
SENSE Head-Spine-Torso (HST) MR Coil System consists of 16-channel receive-only coils (Head 16, Spine 16, Torso 16) designed for Philips 1.5T MRI systems. Coils function as accessories to the system's body coil, which transmits RF signals; HST coils receive resultant RF signals from excited nuclei to produce high-resolution images of head, neck, spine, thorax (including heart), and abdomen. Used in clinical settings by trained MRI technicians/radiologists. Coils can be used individually or in combination (Head+Spine+Torso, Head+Spine, Spine+Torso, or Spine alone). Output is provided to the MRI system for image reconstruction, aiding clinicians in diagnostic decision-making. Benefits include high-resolution anatomical imaging for improved diagnostic accuracy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated per NEMA MS 1-2008 (SNR), MS 3-2008 (Image Uniformity), and MS 9-2008 (Phased Array Coil Characterization). Safety evaluated per IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-33. Radiologist review of DICOM files confirmed image quality suitable for clinical applications.
Technological Characteristics
16-channel receive-only phased array coils. Materials: Polycarbonate and Polyethylene (UL94-HF-1 flammability rating). Decoupling: LC tank circuit. Connectivity: Multi-pin connector for Philips 1.5T MRI systems. Electrical isolation: Plastic housing with foam insulation. Standards: NEMA MS 1-2008, MS 3-2008, MS 9-2008; IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-33.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring diagnostic imaging of the head, spine, and torso regions using Philips 1.5T MR scanners. Used on the order of a physician.
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.

A magnetic resonance diagnostic device, 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, class II.
Device Product Code and Panel Code: MOS / Radiology / 90
Indications for Use:
The coils are indicated for use on the order of a physician, in conjunction with Philips 1.5T MR scanners as accessories to produce images of the head, spine and torso.
### Device Description:
The SENSE Head-Spine-Torso (HST) MR Coil System includes 16 channel coil components that are designed for use with Philips 16-Channel 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) magnet systems. The coils work in unison with the Body Coil of the MRI system, which will transmit the radio frequency (RF) signals, so that the coils may receive the resultant RF signal from the excited nuclei. The coils are receive-only coils for high resolution imaging of thorax (including heart), abdomen, cervical, lumbar, and thoracic regions of the spine and the head, neck regions. The coils provide unilateral images of the anatomy of interest. The SENSE HST coils are designed to be used together and separately as follows:
| Coil Models | Comments |
|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Head + Spine + Torso | All three coils may be used together. |
| Head + Spine | Head Coil does not function unless it is connected to the Spine Coil. |
| Spine + Torso | Spine and Torso may be used together without the Head Coil |
| Spine | Spine Coil may be used alone. |

### Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
When compared to the predicate devices, the SENSE Head-Spine-Torso system is substantially equivalent to the 1.5T 8-Channel Medium General Purpose Flex Coil (K093842, clearsd March 5, 2010). Substantial equivalence is based on design rationale, safety features, magnet system. compatibility and overall intended use. The indications for use statements differ with respect to the target anatomies; however, the predicate and new device system both fall within the same FDA class II product code, MOS and have the same fundamental intended use. I.ille the predicate, the proposed devices are receive-only MRI coils that are designed for use with Philips 1.5T magnet systems. The electrical isolation methods, decoupling method and housing material flammability ratings are the same for the predicate and new device.
