### LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.

The Intercept ™ Esophageal Internal MR Coil is substantially equivalent to the Surgi-Vision Esophageal Stylet Coil, which was cleared for marketing on March 14, 2000, in premarket notifications K994436. The Intercept™ Urethral Microcoil, is substantially equivalent to the Intercept Urethral Microcoil, which was cleared for marketing on August 31, 2001 in premarket notification K011781. The Intercept™ Vascular Internal MR Coil is substantially equivalent to the Surgi-Vision Guidewire Coil, and cleared for marketing on February 2, 2001 in premarket notification K003436. This submission also represents notification of the change from SV coils to Intercept Coils. The predicate devices are compatible with the GE 1.5T system and the current submission requests clearance on the identical product, with a Siemens compatible connector.

### DEVICE DESCRIPTION B.

The Intercept™ Internal MR Coils are intracavitary specialty coils for use in MR imaging of the anatomical regions surrounding a body cavity. The signals picked up by the coil are conducted through a small coaxial cable and interfacing network to a connection with the standard surface coil connector for MRI systems. The coil is insulated with polymeric housing that protects is from contact from body fluids.

#### INTENDED USE C.

The Intercept™ Internal MR Coils are recommended for high-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging of internal anatomical structures. The single use, disposable coils were designed to be inserted into body orifices of the patient during MRI scans in order to obtain improved image quality in the anatomical regions surrounding the coil. The unique coil shapes facilitate

orientation of the coils to the anatomy. These products are to be used with a 1.5T MRI machine.

#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY D.

The Intercept™ Internal MR Coils have identical, indications for use as the legally marketed predicate devices.

The Intercept™ Internal MR Coils have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Both proposed and predicate devices have an electronic matching circuit, a connecting coaxial cable, and an intercavitary probe with a radiofrequency receiving coil. However, there are differences in the scanner systems that make it desirable to provide performance data to assure substantial equivalence. Such performance data are available and do demonstrate substantial equivalence.

#### ய் TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

See Section D. above.

#### F. TESTING

Surgi-Vision carried out testing and/or analysis of the Intercept™ Esophageal Internal MR Coil that addressed the following issues:

- 1. Possibility of excess RF heating
- 2. Possibility of increased susceptibility of patients to peripheral nerve stimulation
- 3. Imaging performance
- 4. Mechanical Testing

### POSSIBILITY OF EXCESS RF HEATING

The primary safety issue for the Intercept™ Esophageal Internal MR Coil is the potential for excess heating of tissue near the coil by MRI system's RF Surgi-Vision carried out a phantom study showing localized power. temperature changes caused by the coil are within an acceptable temperature range.

The results of the heating experiments demonstrate that there is no excess heating when the coil is positioned in a phantom that is representative of clinical conditions. The change in temperature observed during use of the 

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

coil is within an acceptable range (< 2 degrees C in the trunk). Finally, the imaging performance demonstrates enhanced resolution of aortic regions visualized from the esophagus. The results of the testing demonstrate that there are no safety problems for imaging of a patient using the Intercept™ Esophageal Internal MR Coil if the instructions for use are followed.

#### INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO NERVE POSSIBILITY OF STIMULATION

The experiments done previously to determine current leakage by the MRI pulsed gradient field demonstrate that there is no possibility of increased susceptibility of patients to peripheral nerve stimulation. This remains true despite a change from the GE to the Siemens system. A copy of this report is included in this 510k.

### IMAGING PERFORMANCE

The Surgi-Vision coil functions like any other specialty MRI coil and it is indicated for general diagnostic imaging. Therefore, a series of images were taken using the coil in a volunteer illustrating its use in the esophagus on the Siemens 1.5T MRI system.

### MECHANICAL TESTING

The Surgi-Vision coils have undergone mechanical testing and the results on the Esophageal Coil were provided. Since the coils are identical to the original Surgi-Vision Esophageal Stylet Coil, the same results are presented. between the connector/coaxial connector and The bonds connector/Introducer sleeve have displaved strengths in excess of the required 11b/f.

#### G. CONCLUSIONS

This pre-market submission has demonstrated Substantial Equivalence as defined and understood in the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and various quidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
