## Intended Use

The MAGNETOM Systems with the syngo MR 2002B are indicated for use as magnetic resonance diagnostic devices (MRDD's) that produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that display the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

## Device Story

The syngo MR 2002B is a software and hardware upgrade for existing Siemens MAGNETOM MRI systems. It functions as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device, acquiring signals to produce cross-sectional images and spectroscopic data of the head, body, or extremities. The system transforms raw MR signals into visual representations of internal anatomy and function. Operated by trained clinicians in clinical settings, the output is interpreted by physicians to assist in diagnostic decision-making. The upgrade maintains existing safety and performance parameters, including static field strength, RF power deposition, and acoustic noise levels. It provides diagnostic information to support clinical assessment and patient management.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing confirmed that key parameters—including signal-to-noise ratio, image uniformity, geometric distortion, slice profile, and high-contrast spatial resolution—remained unchanged compared to the predicate systems.

## Technological Characteristics

Software upgrade (Numaris 4 VA21A) for MAGNETOM MRI systems. Operates as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device. Maintains existing hardware specifications for static magnetic field, RF power deposition, and acoustic noise. No changes to fundamental sensing or energy source principles.

## Regulatory 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.

## II. Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting Substantial Equivalence.

## · Device Description:

#### · Intended Use

The MAGNETOM Systems with the syngo MR 2002B are indicated for use as magnetic resonance diagnostic devices (MRDD's) that produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and that display the internal structure and/or function of the head, body, or extremities. These images and/or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

## · Technological Characteristics

The syngo MR 2002B (Numaris 4 VA21A) software upgrade will be available for the following MAGNETOM Family systems:

- . The MAGNETOM 1.0 Tesla Harmony system was described in premarket notification K970852 which received FDA clearance on June 5, 1997.
- . The MAGNETOM 1.5 Tesla Symphony system was described in premarket notification K971684 which received FDA clearance on August 4, 1997.
- The MAGNETOM 1.5 Tesla Sonata system was described in premarket notification . K993731 that received FDA clearance on December 23, 1999.
- The MAGNETOM 0.2 Tesla Concerto system was described in premarket notification ● K003192 which received FDA clearance on December 21, 2000.
- The MAGNETOM 3.0 Tesla Allegra system was described in premarket notification . K002179 which received FDA clearance on October 11, 2000.
- . The MAGNETOM 3.0 Tesla Trio system was described in premarket notification K013586 which received FDA clearance on December 28, 2001.

This includes Siemens upgrades of currently used MAGNETOM Impact/Expert, Vision, and Open (Viva) systems to systems described above.

## · General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

The introduction of the new syngo MR 2002B has no significant effect on the following MR safety and performance parameters:

[Safety]

- . Maximum Static Field
- Rate of Change of Magnetic Field
- . RF Power Deposition
- . Acoustic Noise Level

#### [Performance]

- Specification Volume ●
- . Signal to Noise

{2}------------------------------------------------

- Image Uniformity .
- Geometric Distortion .
- . Slice Profile, Thickness and Gap
- High Contrast Spatial Resolution .

Siemens Medical Solutions is adding an upgrade in software and hardware to the currently available MAGNETOM Systems. The MRI systems are exactly the same as what was described and cleared in the predicate premarket notifications. Variable safety and performance testing was completed; however the values are not significantly changed and, in the case of safety parameters remain below the level of concern.

#### · Substantial Equivalence:

Laboratory testing were performed to support this claim of substantial equivalence and to show that the technological differences do not raise any new questions pertaining to safety and effectiveness.
