## Intended Use

The Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate is a receive-only RF coil, used for obtaining MR images of the breast and axillary tissue. The biopsy plate allows access to the breast anatomy during biopsy procedures. No biopsy needles are included with, or packaged with the Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR Imaging. The Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate is designed for use with the 0.7T Altaire MRI scanner manufactured by Hitachi Medical Systems.

## Device Story

Phased array, receive-only MRI coil; consists of supporting base and two insulating chambers for breasts. Each chamber houses two coil elements within rigid plastic housing. Used in clinical MRI settings; operated by MRI technicians/physicians. Device receives RF signals from hydrogen nuclei; does not transmit RF power. Decoupling achieved via RF chokes and switching diodes to isolate elements during RF transmission. Provides lateral access to breast anatomy for biopsy procedures. Output is MR image data displayed on MRI scanner console; interpreted by physicians to aid diagnosis. Benefits include optimized imaging and biopsy access.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Phased array, receive-only RF coil. Materials: Polyurethane, ABS, Polycarbonate, Delrin. Decoupling: RF chokes with switching diodes. Energy: Passive receive-only (no RF transmission). Connectivity: Dedicated interface for Hitachi Altaire 0.7T MRI scanner. Form factor: Two-chamber breast coil with biopsy plate.

## 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.

Trade/Device Name: Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plates Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1000 Regulation Name: Magnetic resonance diagnostic device Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 MOS

Dated: September 20, 2002 Received: September 24, 2002

Dear Ms. Shumaker:

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. 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 your device is classified (sec 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 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

# 510(k) Number (if known): _ K 0 2 2 0 2 2 0 0

Device Name: Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate

Indications for Use: The Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate is designed to provide Magnetic Resonance Images of the breast anatomy and aid in guidance during biopsy procedures. The Liberty 5000 Breast Coil with Disposable Biopsy Plate is designed for use with the Hitachi Altaire 0.7T scanner.

> Anatomic Regions: Breast Anatomy Nuclei Excited: Hydrogen

The indications for use are the same as for standard imaging:

The Altaire 0.7T system is indicated for use as an NMR device that produces images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR signal, (2) depend upon NMR parameters (proton density, spin lattice relaxation time T1, spin-spin relaxation time T2) and (3) display the soft tissue structure of the head and whole body. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images yield information that can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.
