Intended Use

The 0.2T GP Neck/Shoulder Coil expands the capability of the 0.2T MR imaging system. It accommodates and improves imaging of the cervical spine, neck, shoulder and surrounding structures.

Device Story

Receive-only, linear, circular solenoidal MRI coil; housed in biocompatible shell; includes adjustable positioning base and comfort pads. Used in clinical MRI settings by trained technologists/radiologists. Device functions as signal receiver for 0.2T MR imaging systems to improve image quality of cervical spine, neck, and shoulder anatomy. Output is raw MR signal processed by host system into diagnostic images for physician interpretation. Benefits include enhanced anatomical visualization for clinical decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Receive-only, linear, circular solenoidal coil; biocompatible outer shell; includes adjustable positioning base and comfort pads. Designed for 0.2T MR imaging systems.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring MRI imaging of the cervical spine, neck, shoulder, and surrounding structures using a 0.2T MR imaging system.

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.
