## Intended Use

The USA Instruments 1.5T 12 Channel Body Array is intended to be used in the abdomen, pelvis and chest regions for 2D and 3D Magnetic Resonance imaging and Parallel body imaging.

## Device Story

1.5T 12 Channel Body Array is an MRI accessory coil; 12-element design with integrated preamplifiers; optimized for parallel imaging in abdomen, pelvis, and chest. Used with 1.5T Signa Excite MRI scanners (GE Healthcare). Coil receives RF signals from patient anatomy; signals processed by MRI scanner to generate diagnostic images. Operated by radiology staff in clinical imaging environments. Provides high-resolution anatomical imaging to assist physicians in diagnostic decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing performed to demonstrate that design modifications meet predetermined acceptance criteria.

## Technological Characteristics

12-element torso coil with integrated preamplifiers; designed for 1.5T MRI scanners; optimized for parallel imaging; includes specific connector configurations for scanner compatibility.

## 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

Marketed Device:               | 1.5T 12 Channel Body Array                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| 10. Comparison with Predicate:    | The 1.5T 12 Channel Body Array is a modification of the existing<br>cleared GE Healthcare 1.5T 8 Channel Torso Coil (K031209), with<br>the main difference being the separation of the 12 individual<br>elements into separate channels and a redesign of the coil<br>connector to make it compatible with magnetic resonance scanners<br>that have more then an 8 channel receive chain.                                                                                                                               |
| 11. Summary of Studies:           | Testing was performed to demonstrate that the design<br>modifications to the 1.5T 12 Channel Body Array meet<br>predetermined acceptance criteria.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

{1}------------------------------------------------

## Conclusion:

It is the opinion of USA Instruments that the 1.5T 12 Channel Body Array is substantially equivalent to the GE Healthcare 1.5T 8 Channel Torso Coil (K031209). Usage of the USA Instruments 1.5T 12 Channel Body Array does not result in any new potential hazards.

Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1000 Regulation Name: Magnetic resonance diagnostic device Regulatory Class: II Product Code: MOS Dated: September 16, 2005 Received: September 20, 2005

Dear Mr. Smith:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.

{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 prematics nedicate 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 11 you atter Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

| 21 CFR 876.xxxx | (Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology) | 240-276-0115 |
|-----------------|----------------------------------|--------------|
| 21 CFR 884.xxxx | (Obstetrics/Gynecology)          | 240-276-0115 |
| 21 CFR 892.xxxx | (Radiology)                      | 240-276-0120 |
| Other           |                                  | 240-276-0100 |

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act 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/industry/support/index.html.
