## Intended Use

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) and Proton Spectroscopy of the pediatric head, body and extremities. This device is used in conjunction with a General Electric 1.5 Tesla MRI System. Proton Spectroscopy is used in conjunction with the PROBE (Proton Brain Exam) option.

## Device Story

The Model 1300GE-64 Pediatric Positioner is an accessory for GE Signa 1.5T MRI systems. It provides physical support and positioning for pediatric patients during MRI, MRA, and proton spectroscopy procedures of the head, body, and extremities. The device is used in clinical settings by radiology staff. It does not alter the MRI system's safety parameters, including RF power deposition, acoustic noise, or imaging performance (SNR, uniformity, spatial resolution). By stabilizing the patient, it facilitates high-quality diagnostic imaging, aiding clinicians in accurate diagnosis.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was evaluated for safety and effectiveness by comparing imaging performance parameters (SNR, image uniformity, geometric distortion, slice thickness/gap, and high-contrast spatial resolution) and safety parameters (RF power deposition, acoustic noise, biocompatibility) against the GE Signa 1.5T MRI system baseline. No changes in performance were observed.

## Technological Characteristics

MRI accessory for pediatric positioning. Complies with UL-94 (flammability of plastic materials), IEC-60601-1 (general safety for medical electrical equipment), and IEC-60601-2-33 (safety for magnetic resonance equipment). Passive mechanical device; no electronic components or software.

## 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.

## Overview

The Radiology Devices Panel considered potential concerns regarding the safe and effective operation of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices when thev recommended reclassification to Class II on July 27, 1987. After reclassification. the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) released a draft guidance document for the content and review of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device premarket notification submissions that offered clarification of these concerns. Due to considerable technological advances in MRDDs. CDRH issued an updated guidance document on November 14, 1998. The following is a summary of the information contained within this premarket notification that addresses these concerns:

The GE Signa 1.5T MRI System, operated with the Midwest RF Pediatric Positioner, is substantially equivalent to the GE Signa 1.5T MRI System operated with the legally market predicated devices listed in Attachment 8 of this PMN, within the Class II definition of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device with respect to the safety parameter action levels:

# General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The device contains detailed instructions for use. It includes indications for use, precautions, cautions, contraindications, warnings and quality assurance testing.

## Substantial Equivalence Summary

The GE Signa 1.5T MRI System, operated with the Midwest RF Pediatric Positioner addressed in this PMN, has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the GE Signa 1.5T MRI System operated with the legally market predicated devices. The use of this device does not alter the GE Signa 1.5T MRI System safety parameter specifications.

Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1000 Regulation Name: Magnetic resonance diagnostic device Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 MOS Dated: January 28, 2003 Received: January 30, 2003

Dear Mr. Keidl:

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 (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 r 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.
