## Intended Use

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the musculoskeletal structures, soft tissue and vascular structures within the anatomic regions from the chest to the pelvic region.

## Device Story

Model 554HI-12 RAPID Body Coil is an accessory for Hitachi AIRIS-Elite 0.3T MRI systems; functions as an RF receiver coil to capture magnetic resonance signals from patient anatomy. Input: RF signals from chest-to-pelvic region; Output: raw MR data processed by host MRI system into 2D/3D images (proton density, T1/T2 weighted, time-of-flight, phase contrast). Used in clinical radiology settings by trained MRI technologists/radiologists. Coil design supports RAPID (parallel imaging) techniques. Device does not alter system safety parameters (static field, RF power, acoustic noise). Benefits: enables high-quality diagnostic imaging of torso structures for clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance verified through comparison of imaging parameters (SNR, uniformity, geometric distortion, spatial resolution) and safety parameters (RF power, static field, acoustic noise) against established system specifications.

## Technological Characteristics

RF receiver coil for 0.3T MRI; supports parallel imaging (RAPID). Materials: plastic housing (UL 94 flammability rated). Safety: compliant with UL 2601-1 and IEC 601-1. Connectivity: proprietary interface for Hitachi AIRIS-Elite. Sterilization: not applicable (surface contact device).

## 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

- GE Signa 1.5T system (predicate device not explicitly named by model, referenced as legally marketed predicate)

IEC 601-1 General Safety Requirements for Medical Electrical Equipment

## Overview

The Radiology Devices Panel considered potential concerns regarding the safe and effective operation of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices when they 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 Hitachi AIRIS-Elite 0.3T MRI system, operated with the Medical Advances RAPID Body Coil, is substantially equivalent to the GE Signa 0.5T system operated with the legally marketed predicate device listed in section 4.0, within the Class II definition of Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device with respect to the safety parameter action levels:

#### Safety Parameters

| Maximum Static Magnetic Field:          | No change due to coil |
|-----------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| Rate of Magnetic Field Strength Change: | No change due to coil |
| RF Power Deposition:                    | No change             |
| Acoustic Noise Levels:                  | No change due to coil |
| Biocompatibility:                       | No change             |

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

## Imaging Performance Parameters

| Specification Volume:             | No change |
|-----------------------------------|-----------|
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio:            | No change |
| Image Uniformity:                 | No change |
| Geometric Distortion:             | No change |
| Slice Thickness and Gap:          | No change |
| High Contrast Spatial Resolution: | No change |

## General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The device contains instructions for use. It includes indications for use, precautions, cautions, contraindications, warnings and quality assurance testing. This information assures safe and effective use of the device.

### Substantial Equivalence Summary

The Hitachi AIRIS-Elite 0.3T MRI system operated with the Medical Advances RAPID Body Coil addressed in this PMN, has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the GE Signa 1.5T system operated with the identified legally marketed predicate device. The use of this coil does not affect the Hitachi AIRIS-Elite 0.3T system safety parameter specifications.

Trade/Device Name: Airis-Elite Rapid Body Coil Model 554HI-12 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1000 Regulation Name: Magnetic resonance diagnostic device Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 MOS Dated: October 10, 2003

Received: October 27, 2003

Dear Mr. Frohlich:

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 such 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.

{4}------------------------------------------------

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:

| 8xx. 1xxx                        | (301) 594-4591 |
|----------------------------------|----------------|
| 876.2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx       | (301) 594-4616 |
| 884.2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx | (301) 594-4616 |
| 892.2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx       | (301) 594-4654 |
| Other                            | (301) 594-4692 |

Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97) you may obtain. Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
