Indications for Use
The SIGNA Voyager is a whole body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan time imaging. The SIGNA Voyager is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, dynamic images, and parametric maps of the internal structures and organs of the entire body. Body structures for evaluation include, but are not limited to: head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions of the body. Depending on the region of interest being imaged, contrast agents may be used. The images produced by the SIGNA Voyager reflect the spatial distribution and/or molecular environment of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
Device Story
SIGNA Voyager is a 1.5T superconducting whole-body MRI scanner with a 70cm bore. It utilizes time-varying magnetic fields (gradients) and RF transmissions to acquire data on the density and position of nuclei exhibiting magnetic resonance. The system generates axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectra, dynamic images, and parametric maps. Operated by trained clinicians in clinical settings, the device supports high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio imaging with reduced scan times. Output images are interpreted by physicians to assist in clinical diagnosis. The system is available in fixed or mobile configurations.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were conducted. Evidence consists of sample clinical images demonstrating acceptable diagnostic imaging performance and image quality equivalent to the predicate devices. Bench testing included module verification, system integration, performance, safety, and simulated use testing, alongside compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-33, ISO 10993-1, and NEMA standards.
Technological Characteristics
1.5T superconducting magnet, 70cm bore. Employs time-varying magnetic fields and RF transmissions. Features updated RF receive chain, modified magnet and RF body coil, updated TDI coil suite, and new computers. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-33, ISO 10993-1, NEMA MS standards, and NEMA PS3 (DICOM).
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic imaging of internal structures and organs of the entire body, including head, neck, TMJ, spine, breast, heart, abdomen, pelvis, joints, prostate, blood vessels, and musculoskeletal regions. Applicable to patients requiring MRI scans; contrast agents may be used as needed.
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.
