Intended Use

The 2D and 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Proton Spectroscopy of the anatomy of head and brain. This device is used in conjunction with the PROBE (Proton Brain Exam) option.

Device Story

Special Procedures II Head Coil (Model #1400GE-64) is a radiofrequency (RF) coil accessory for MRI scanners; designed for head and brain imaging. Device receives RF signals emitted by patient anatomy during MRI procedures; transforms signals into spatial data for image reconstruction by the host MRI system. Used in clinical radiology settings; operated by trained MRI technologists or radiologists. Output is visualized as diagnostic images or spectroscopic data on the MRI console; assists clinicians in anatomical assessment and metabolic evaluation of brain tissue. Benefits include high-resolution imaging and localized proton spectroscopy for diagnostic support.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

RF coil for MRI; 2D/3D imaging and proton spectroscopy capability. Compatible with GE PROBE (Proton Brain Exam) option. Class II device under 21 CFR 892.1000. Passive hardware component; no internal software or active processing circuitry.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring 2D and 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Proton Spectroscopy of the head and brain anatomy, specifically when used with the PROBE (Proton Brain Exam) option.

Regulatory Classification

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.
