## Intended Use

The Prima III TotalSENSE Torso Coil is a receive-only phased array RF coil, used for obtaining diagnostic images of the abdominal and pelvic anatomy, including the liver, spleen, and renal arteries in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems. The Prima III TotalSENSE Torso Coil is designed for use with the Intera 3.0T MRI system manufactured by Philips Medical Systems, Inc. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR Imaging.

## Device Story

Prima III TotalSENSE Torso Coil is a 6-channel receive-only phased array RF coil for MRI systems; designed for abdominal and pelvic imaging (liver, spleen, renal arteries). Device consists of flexible top and rigid bottom pieces to accommodate various patient sizes; open design minimizes claustrophobia. Operates as passive receive-only coil; utilizes switching diode decoupling to isolate elements during RF transmission, preventing RF burns. Used in clinical MRI settings by trained technologists/radiologists. Output is raw MR signal processed by host MRI system into diagnostic images; aids physicians in soft tissue structure visualization and diagnosis. Benefits include improved patient comfort and diagnostic image quality for torso anatomy.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness established through comparison of technological characteristics, materials, and design principles to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

6-channel receive-only phased array RF coil. Materials: Flame retardant polyurethane, vinyl coated EVA foam, flame retardant polycarbonate. Decoupling: Switching diode. Energy: Passive receive-only (no RF transmission). Form factor: Flexible top/rigid bottom. Connectivity: Dedicated interface for Philips Intera 3.0T MRI system.

## 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.

Received: May 5, 2003

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 (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 t 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.

{3}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:

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

The 3.0T MRI 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.
