## Intended Use

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

## Device Story

MAGNETOM Spectra is a 3T superconducting whole-body MRI scanner; utilizes magnetic resonance physics to acquire cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images, and spectra of head, body, and extremities. System features open-bore design for patient comfort; fixed configuration. Operated by trained clinicians/technicians in clinical settings; supports interventional procedures via MR-compatible accessories (e.g., biopsy needles). Output consists of visual images and derived physical parameters; interpreted by physicians to assist in clinical diagnosis. System workflow emphasizes ergonomics and usability. Benefits include non-invasive diagnostic visualization of internal structures and function.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance and safety data measured per NEMA, IEC, and ISO standards, including static field, RF power deposition, acoustic noise, signal-to-noise ratio, image uniformity, geometric distortion, slice profile, and spatial resolution. No clinical data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

3T superconducting magnet; open-bore whole-body scanner. Conforms to IEC, ISO, and NEMA standards for MR safety and performance. Fixed configuration. Software-based image reconstruction and processing.

## 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

### Intended Use

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

#### Device Description

MAGNETOM Spectra (3T) is similar to the previously cleared MAGNETOM Skyra and MAGNETOM Verio, utilizing a superconducting magnet design. The open bore, whole body scanners are designed for increased patient comfort. They focus on ergonomics and usability to simplify the MR workflow.

The MAGNETOM Spectra systems will be available in a fixed configuration.

#### Substantial Equivalence

Siemens feels that the new system is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:

As specified in the FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Submission Of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Devices" (released Nov. 1998) the following measurements of performance and safety data have been performed following NEMA or equivalent IEC and ISO standards:

### Safety:

- Maximum Static Field
- · Rate of Change of Magnetic Field

SIEMENS

- · RF Power Deposition
- · Acoustic Noise Levels

#### Performance:

- · Specification Volume
- · Signal to Noise
- · Image Uniformity
- · Geometric Distortion
- · Slice Profile. Thickness and Gap
- High Contrast Spatial Resolution

The MAGNETOM Spectra also conforms to the measurements 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 the predicate devices MAGNETOM Skyra and MAGNETOM Verio to show that the performance of the MAGNETOM Spectra is equivalent with respect to the predicate devices, assuring that the performance of these devices can be considered safe and effective with respect to the currently available MAGNETOM Skyra and MAGNETOM Verio systems.
