## Intended Use

It is intended to be used in the heart and mediastinum regions for 2D and 3D Magnetic Resonance imaging.

## Device Story

The 8 Channel Cardiac Phased Array Coil is an accessory for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. It functions as a receiver coil to capture radiofrequency signals from the heart and mediastinum regions during 2D and 3D imaging procedures. The device is a modification of a previously cleared predicate, featuring a flexible anterior coil section to improve patient fit and comfort. It is used in clinical MRI environments by trained radiology technologists or physicians. The output is raw signal data processed by the MRI system to generate diagnostic images, which are interpreted by radiologists to assess cardiac and mediastinal anatomy and pathology. The primary benefit is enhanced image quality and patient comfort during cardiac MRI examinations.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Phased array MRI receiver coil; 8-channel configuration; flexible anterior section; intended for heart and mediastinum imaging. No specific materials or software algorithms described.

## 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

Dear Dr. Kroger:

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 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.
