Intended Use
The Outlook system is indicated for use as a NMR device that produces images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR, (2) depend upon the NMR parameters (proton density, flow velocity, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), and spin-spin relaxation time (T2)) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head and whole body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis. The MRGP Optical Tracking Unit is designed to support and guide diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures, such as needle biopsies and drainages.
Device Story
MRGP Optical Tracking Unit functions as an accessory to MRI systems to assist in interventional procedures. Input consists of infrared signals from a Position Sensor Assembly (PSA) reflected off markers on specialized tools. System transforms these spatial inputs into guidance for imaging planes; software reformats 3D image sets and provides graphical overlays for planning and intraoperative use. Used in clinical settings by physicians to shorten time required to identify correct imaging trajectories, particularly for complex double oblique planes. Benefits include improved accuracy and efficiency during needle biopsies and drainages.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and comparison of technological characteristics and performance specifications.
Technological Characteristics
System includes infrared digitizer hardware, specialized tracking tools, and software for image plane guidance. Tool bodies constructed of Polyethermide and Polyphenylsulfone. Digitizer operates at 30 Hz max rate with 1m x 1m active volume. Connectivity is integrated with Outlook MRI system. Sterilization: steam for tool bodies, ETO for reflective spheres. Software provides 3D slice reformatting and graphical overlays.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring diagnostic or therapeutic interventional procedures, such as needle biopsies and drainages, guided by MRI imaging.
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.

#### 3. Device Description
,
The main features in the Optical Tracking Unit include: 1) infrared digitizer hardware; 2) specialized tools and tracking devices for procedures; 3) software that guides the imaging plane based on information from the digitizer; 4) software utilities that allow for slice reformatting of 3D image sets and 5) MRGP graphical overlays for planning and intraoperative use.
This guidance mechanism shortens the time needed to find the correct imaging plane, and is useful in cases that require a difficult trajectory (i.e. double oblique imaging planes).

Dear Dr. Keeler:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
