## Section 5: 510(k) Summary

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

### Intended Use

The MAGNETOM Verio 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. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These images and / or spectra when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

The MAGNETOM Verio may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices such as, in room display and MR-safe biopsy needles.

#### Device Description

The MAGNETOM Verio comes with I-class and T-class releases based on syngo MR B15B. It is a 3 Tesla MR scanner based on a superconducting magnet. It consists of the same types of hardware (with a modified magnet, gradient coil and RF body coil) that are currently available with the MAGNETOM Trio a Tim system including Matrix Coils and Total Imaging Matrix (Tim) technology.

#### Substantial Equivalence

The system is substantially equivalent to the following cleared medical devices:

| software syngo MR B15 (VB15A)            | K062454                 | Nov 3, 2006        |

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

#### General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

Operation of the MAGNETOM Verio is substantially equivalent to the commercially available MAGNETOM 3 T Trio a Tim System.

As specified in the FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Submission Of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Devices" the following measurements of performance and safety data have been performed following National Electrical Manufacturing Association (NEMA) or equivalent IEC and ISO standards.

#### Safety

Static Field Strength Acoustic Noise dB/dt RF Heating Biocompatibility

#### Performance

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Geometric Distortion Image Uniformity Slice Thickness Spatial Resolution

The MAGNETOM Verio will conform to the measurement of safety parameters to the international IEC, ISO and NEMA standards for safety issues with Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostic Devices.

Furthermore performance measurements have been done on MAGNETOM Verio and MAGNETOM Trio a Tim System to show that the performance of the MAGNETOM Verio is equivalent with respect to the predicate device MAGNETOM Trio a Tim System.

This will assure that the performance of MAGNETOM Verio is substantially equivalent with respect to the currently available MAGNETOM Trio a Tim System.
