## Intended Use

The Gyroscan INTERA systems are indicated for use as diagnostic devices that produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, based upon 'H and 3'P metabolites, 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

Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device (MRDD) producing cross-sectional images and spectroscopic data (1H, 31P) of head, body, and extremities; utilizes RF receive-only coils and magnet bore; operated by clinicians in radiology settings. Features include patient comfort enhancements (forced air, observation camera, laser positioning), ceiling-suspended console with LCD display, and Compaq Alpha processor for high-speed reconstruction (40 images/sec). Supports real-time interactive imaging, diffusion/perfusion mapping (ADC, TTP, MTT), and vector ECG gating. Physician interprets output to assist in clinical diagnosis; device provides structural and functional anatomical information.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only. Safety and effectiveness are established through comparison to the predicate device and adherence to NEMA, UL, and IEC 601 standards.

## Technological Characteristics

MRDD system (0.5T, 1.5T, 1.6T configurations). Uses RF receive-only coils (e.g., Synergy Pediatric Coil). Processing via Compaq Alpha processor. Connectivity includes ceiling-suspended console with 20-inch LCD. Safety standards: NEMA, FDA MRDD guidance, UL, IEC 601. Software-based reconstruction and analysis.

## 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Philips GYROSCAN NT Release 6 series ([K980645](/device/K980645.md))

Dear Mr. Altman:

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). 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 vour device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or 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 Regulations, 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
