Indications for Use
The Synq Software is indicated for use in conjunction with Synq, a magnetic resonance diagnostic device (MRDD) that produces axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique cross-sectional images and displays the internal structure and/or function of the head. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. These images when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
Device Story
Synq Software v1.3 is an upgrade to the Synq (formerly EVRY) MRDD system. It coordinates magnetic field, gradient, and RF transmitter/receiver coil interactions to generate cross-sectional images representing proton spin distribution. Operated by qualified medical professionals in clinical settings, the software enables configuration and initiation of MR scans. New features include additional pulse sequences (e.g., 3D T1 CSE ME-GRE, 2D Spin Echo EPI, DTI, 3D SWI) and protocol updates. Output images are interpreted by radiologists to assist in clinical diagnosis. The device benefits patients by providing diagnostic imaging of head structures and functions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing, image performance testing, and safety testing meeting predefined acceptance criteria. A representative subset of clinical images was provided for review, supported by an attestation from a U.S. Board-certified radiologist.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based control system for MRDD. Coordinates magnetic field, gradients, and RF hardware. Implements various pulse sequences (e.g., 3D T1 CSE ME-GRE, 2D Spin Echo EPI, DTI, 3D SWI). Complies with NEMA MS 1-5, 8-9, IEC 62464-1, and IEC 60601-2-33 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use with Synq MRDD to produce cross-sectional images (axial, sagittal, coronal, oblique) of the head for diagnostic assistance by trained physicians. Contrast agents may be used.
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.

Dear Prithul Bom:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

| The Synq Software allows a user to configure and initiate a magnetic resonance scan of a subject. In doing so, the software coordinates the interactions of the magnetic field, gradients, radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver coil in Synq (Previously known as EVRY, K200327) to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique cross-sectional images that represent the spatial distribution of protons with spin. | | | | | |
| The Synq Software Version 1.3 upgrades the current software version in the Synq system to include additional imaging applications, functionality, and minor bug fixes. | | | | | |
| The Software should be used only by qualified medical professionals who are trained in magnetic resonance diagnostic devices. | | | | | |
| Intended Use/Indications for Use | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) | | | | |

# Technological Comparison
### 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The Subject Device is an updated version of the Predicate Device and any differences are only additive and do not raise concerns on safety and effectiveness.
The substantive changes in the Subject Device are as follows:
· New pulse sequences, including: o 3D T1 CSE ME-GRE (3D Fat Sat T1) o 2D Spin Echo EPI o 2D T2 CSE Spin Echo (2D Fat Sat T2) o 3D T2 Spin Echo o 2D Spin Echo EPI FLAIR o 3D T2 FLAIR o Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) o 3D T2* ME-GRE (3D SWI)
· Minor updates to existing protocols
· Updates to various SOUP/OTS packages
· Minor bug fixes
As such, functionality in the software of the Predicate Device remains substantially unchanged in the Subject Device.
#### Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
As per Bench Testing document attached under Bench Testing the image performance testing and safety testing meet all predefined acceptance criteria. Together, with an attestation from a U.S. Board certified radiologist, demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device (EVRY K200327) by conforming to FDA recognized standards and addressing all requirements in FDA MRDD Guidance. Applicable Standards and Guidance include: NEMA MS 1 NEMA MS 2 NEMA MS 3 NEMA MS 4 NEMA MS 5 NEMA MS 8 NEMA MS 9 IEC 62464-1 IEC-60601-2-33 Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices
A small, representative subset of clinical images are provided along with this 510(k) submission, as per quidance document "Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices" issued November 18, 2016. Synq Software Version 1.3 did not require clinical tests since substantial equivalence to the legally marketed predicate device was proven with the verification and validation testing.
The conclusions drawn from the nonctrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as intended, and therefore, substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device (Evry, K200327). Synq Software Version 1.3 did not require clinical tests since substantial equivalence to the legally marketed predicate device was proven with the verification and validation testing.
