Device Story

Receive-only phased array RF coils; designed for 1.5T or 3.0T GE Healthcare MRI scanners. Inputs: magnetic resonance signals from hydrogen nuclei in shoulder anatomy. Operation: coils receive RF signals while blocking high-frequency magnetic fields from scanner; tuned to proton precession frequency per Larmor equation. Output: diagnostic images (axial, sagittal, coronal oblique slices). Used in clinical MRI settings by trained physicians/technicians. Output enables visualization of shoulder structures (humerus, rotator cuff, etc.) to assist clinical diagnosis of shoulder pathology. Benefits: improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and uniform coverage compared to previous 8-channel designs.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance data provided via sample shoulder MRI images (Oblique Axial PD, Oblique Coronal T1/T2, Oblique Sagittal T2). No adverse events reported. Bench testing included biocompatibility, electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-33, 60601-1-2), usability, surface temperature, and NEMA MS 6-2008 SNR/uniformity testing. Results confirm performance consistent with indications.

Technological Characteristics

Receive-only phased array RF coils; 16-channel configuration. Materials: biocompatible components. Energy source: passive (powered by MRI scanner). Form factor: rigid posterior array with flexible anterior array. Connectivity: proprietary system cable connectors for GEHC MRI scanners. Standards: IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-33, 60601-1-2, NEMA MS 6-2008.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring diagnostic MRI imaging of the shoulder anatomy, including humerus, humeral head, labrum, glenoid, scapula, clavicle, and rotator cuff regions, for interpretation by a trained 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.
