The purpose of the interface device for the eCoil Imaging System is to provide interface and support functions to allow the use of MEDRAD 3.0T disposable endorectal coils with GE 3.0T family of scanner systems and Torso Array coils. Only trained healthcare professionals are intended to operate this device. ## Device Story The MEDRAD 3.0T eCoil Imaging System is a receive-only MR diagnostic accessory. It functions as an interface device enabling the use of MEDRAD 3.0T disposable endorectal coils in conjunction with GE 3.0T scanner systems and GE 8-channel Torso Array coils. The system provides necessary support and interface functions, including RF signal pre-amplification for the endorectal coil. It utilizes active and passive decoupling. The device is operated by trained healthcare professionals in a clinical imaging environment. By facilitating high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy of the prostate and pelvic region, the system assists clinicians in diagnostic assessment. It does not require production-set tuning due to the integrated preamplifier. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Receive-only surface coil; active and passive decoupling; integrated RF signal pre-amplification; compatible with GE 3.0T scanner systems and GE 8-channel Torso Array coils; does not require production-set tuning. ## 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 - MEDRAD, INC. 1.5T Pelvic Imaging System Interface Device ([K053042](/device/K053042.md)) - MEDRAD, INC. 3.0T Prostate Imaging System ([K051349](/device/K051349.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
