Intended Use

G-scan Brio is a Magnetic Resonance (MR) system that produces transversal, sagittal and coronal and oblique cross-section images of the limbs, joints and spinal column. It is intended for imaging portions of the upper limb, including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm and shoulder, imaging portions of the lower limb, including the foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh and hip, imaging the temporomandibular joint and imaging the cervical spine and the lumbar spine sections as portions of the spinal column. G-scan Brio images correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that determine magnetic resonance properties and are dependent on the MR parameters, including spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and "chemical shift". When interpreted by a medical expert trained in the use of MR equipment, the images can provide diagnostically useful information.

Device Story

G-scan Brio is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system for musculoskeletal imaging. It captures proton density and relaxation signals (T1, T2) to generate cross-sectional images of limbs, joints, and spine. Operated by trained medical experts in clinical settings; output interpreted by radiologists/physicians to aid diagnosis. Modifications include updated PC unit with GPU, new software features (SpeedUp 3D acquisition, elliptical k-space filling, myelographic contrast), and updated OS (Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit) with SQL Server database. System provides diagnostic visualization of anatomy; benefits include non-invasive assessment of musculoskeletal structures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical tests were performed. Substantial equivalence established via non-clinical testing, including software verification, risk management, and image quality evaluation.

Technological Characteristics

MR imaging system; PC-based architecture with GPU; Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit OS; Microsoft SQL Server database. Features 3D acquisition techniques (SpeedUp, elliptical k-space filling) and myelographic contrast. Conforms to IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 14971, ISO 62304, and NEMA MS-1 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for MR imaging of limbs (hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, arm, shoulder, foot, ankle, calf, knee, thigh, hip), temporomandibular joint, and spinal column (cervical and lumbar spine) to provide diagnostically useful information based on proton distribution and MR parameters.

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.
