Intended Use
The MAGNETOM system is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that displays the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These images and/or spectra and the physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis. The MAGNETOM system may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as in-room displays and MR Safe biopsy needles.
Device Story
MAGNETOM Amira and Sempra are MRI systems using magnetic resonance to generate diagnostic images/spectra of human anatomy. Systems utilize RF coils, gradient systems, and computer processing to acquire and reconstruct data. New software (syngo MR XA50M) introduces AI-based reconstruction (Deep Resolve Boost/Sharp) to improve SNR and sharpness. Operated by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Output is viewed by physicians to assist in diagnosis. AI features use deep learning to process raw k-space data, reducing scan time and enhancing image quality. Benefits include faster acquisition and improved diagnostic clarity. Hardware additions include new Flex coils for Sempra. System supports interventional procedures with MR-safe accessories.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing, software verification/validation, and sample clinical images. AI features (Deep Resolve Boost/Sharp) validated using retrospective datasets (26,473 and 13,977 slices respectively) with PSNR, SSIM, and visual sharpness metrics. Peer-reviewed literature (7 publications, 427 patients) supported clinical utility for various body regions.
Technological Characteristics
MR diagnostic device; 1.5T/3T field strengths. Includes RF coils (Flex series), gradient systems, and syngo MR XA50M software. Connectivity via DICOM. Software includes AI-based reconstruction (Deep Resolve). Conforms to IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-33, 62304, 62366, and ISO 14971/10993 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an MRDD to produce cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images, and spectra of the head, body, or extremities for diagnostic purposes. Applicable to patients requiring MR imaging, including interventional procedures using MR-compatible devices.
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.

# 12.Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence
MAGNETOM Amira and MAGNETOM Sempra with software syngo MR XA50M have the same intended use and same basic technological characteristics as the predicate devices system, MAGNETOM Amira and MAGNETOM Sempra with syngo MR XA12M (K183221, cleared on February 14, 2019), with respect to the magnetic resonance features and functionalities. While there are some differences in technical features compared to the predicate devices, the differences have been tested and the conclusions from all verification and
{12}------------------------------------------------
validation data suggest that the features bear an equivalent safety and performance profile to that of the predicate device and reference device.
Siemens believes that MAGNETOM Amira and MAGNETOM Sempra with software syngo MR XA50M are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed devices MAGNETOM Amira and MAGNETOM Sempra with syngo MR XA12M.
