## Intended Use

The 3.0T HD Breast Array is a receive-only RF coil, used for obtaining MR images of the breast and axillary tissue. The biopsy plates allow access to the breast anatomy during biopsy procedures. No biopsy needles are included with, or packaged with the 3.0T HD Breast Array. The indications for use are the same as for standard MR Imaging. The 3.0T HD Breast Array is designed for use with the 3.0T Signa Excite MRI scanner, manufactured by General Electric Healthcare.

## Device Story

3.0T HD Breast Array is a phased-array, receive-only MRI coil; used for breast and axillary imaging and biopsy procedures. Device consists of a main base, coil chamber, sternum bridge, and lateral wings; houses eight coil elements within a rigid plastic housing. Operates as an accessory to the GE 3.0T Signa Excite MRI scanner. During biopsy, integrated plates provide lateral and medial access to breast anatomy. Device does not include biopsy needles. Radiologists or technicians operate the coil within an MRI suite; output is processed by the MRI scanner to generate diagnostic images. Benefits include optimized imaging at 3.0T field strength and facilitated biopsy access.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing performed to demonstrate that design modifications to the 3.0T HD Breast Array meet predetermined acceptance criteria.

## Technological Characteristics

Phased-array, receive-only RF coil; 8-channel configuration. Materials: rigid, fire-rated plastic housing with high impact and tensile strength. Connectivity: dedicated interface for 3.0T Signa Excite MRI scanner. Form factor: base with coil chamber, sternum bridge, and lateral wings for breast positioning and biopsy access.

## 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.

#### Conclusion:

It is the opinion of USA Instruments that the 3.0T HD Breast Array is substantially equivalent to the USA Instruments 1.5T Liberty 9000 8 channel Breast Array (K041695). Usage of the USA Instruments 3.0T HD Breast Array does not result in any new potential hazards.

Dear Mr. Brown:

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.
