Intended Use

The Head Coil is indicated for use as diagnostic device extension for a Philips, Siemens or GE 3.0 T MR system to provide cross-sectional 1H and/or any X nucleus images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra in any orientation of the internal structure of the head of the patient. These images when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

Device Story

The Head Coil is a transmit/receive radiofrequency (RF) coil used with 3.0T MRI systems (Siemens, Philips, GE) to image the human head. It functions as a passive antenna, exciting hydrogen (1H) nuclei and a second nucleus (31P, 23Na, or 13C) via an RF magnetic field and detecting the resulting RF voltage induced by the nuclei. Operated by trained clinicians in a clinical setting, the device provides cross-sectional images, spectroscopic images, and spectra. These outputs are interpreted by physicians to assist in clinical diagnosis. The device benefits patients by enabling specialized multi-nuclear imaging of internal head structures.

Clinical Evidence

No formal clinical trial; clinical images were acquired in vivo to verify image quality. Testing confirmed adequate SNR, penetration depth, contrast, resolution, and robustness against artifacts using standard gradient and spin echo sequences. Bench testing included SNR and image uniformity per NEMA MS 1-2008 and MS 3-2008, and ESD testing per IEC 60601-2-33.

Technological Characteristics

Passive transmit/receive RF coil; dimensions/form factor for head imaging; compatible with 3.0T MR systems. Conforms to AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 (general safety) and IEC 60601-2-33 (MR safety).

Indications for Use

Indicated for adolescents (12-18 years), transitional adolescents (18-21 years), and adults (>21 years) undergoing head MRI/MRS on 3.0T systems.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

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.

### Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting Substantial Equivalence

#### Indications for Use

The Head Coil is indicated for use as diagnostic device extension for a Philips, Siemens or GE 3.0 T MR system to provide cross-sectional 1H and/or any X nucleus images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra in any orientation of the internal structure of the head of the patient.

These images when interpreted by a trained physician yield information that may assist in diagnosis.

#### Intended Population

Adolescent (from 12 years to 18 years of age) Transitional Adolescent A (18 through 21 years of age) Transitional Adolescent B (18 through 21 years of age) Adults (greater than 21 years of age)

#### Device Description

The Head Coil is used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (MRI, MRS). The Head Coil has been designed to be used on Siemens, Philips or GE 3.0 T MR systems. The Head Coil is a transmit/receive coil to excite and detect radiofrequency (RF) signals of hydrogen (1H) nuclei in combination with either phosphorus (31P), carbon (13C) or sodium (23 Na) nuclei. Excitation of the nuclei is achieved by applying an RF magnetic field. The detected signal is an RF voltage being induced in the Head Coil by the nuclei observed. The Head Coil mainly offers passive antenna technology for linking the MR system to the patient (and reverse).

#### Equivalency Information

RAPID Biomedical believes that the SUBJECT DEVICE is substantially equivalent to the cleared PREDICATE DEVICE which is described in the following submission:

| DUAL TUNED HEAD COIL 3T | Clearance Number | Date |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|------------|
| 31P/1H Head Coil 3T<br>23Na/1H Head Coil 3T<br>13C/1H Head Coil 3T | K102748 | 2011-05-13 |

#### Summary of Technological Characteristics of the SUBJECT DEVICE as compared with the PREDICATE DEVICE

The proposed labelling is adjusted compared to the PREDICATE DEVICE with respect to differing MR systems, changes in the currently applicable standards and for better usability.

Overall, the indications for use, the intended use and the coil technology and safety are substantially equivalent.

#### General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The safety and performance parameters for SUBJECT DEVICE according to the FDA Guidance Document "Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices, issued on Nov. 18, 2016" are equivalent or better than for the PREDICATE DEVICE.

#### Nonclinical Tests

Nonclinical tests were performed on a phantom to evaluate the SUBJECT DEVICE with regard to the applicable imaging parameters Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Image Uniformity. Tests were conducted following NEMA Standards. Moreover and following the principle of reciprocity the transmit efficiency (which is applicable to transmit / receive coils) was compared between SUBJECT DEVICE and PREDICATE DEVICE. Test results show an equivalent or better SNR and Image Uniformity performance of the SUBJECT DEVICE.

ESD-Tests have been performed and successfully passed according to the requirements of IEC 60601-2-33 Ed. 3.2 b:2015, Chapter 202.8.101.

The SUBJECT DEVICE is conforming to:

- Recognition number 19-4: AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and . A1:2012, c1:2009/(r)2012 and a2:2010/(r)2012 (consolidated text) medical electrical equipment - part 1: general requirements for safety and essential performance (IEC 60601-1:2005, mod). (General II (ES/EMC)).
- Recognition number 12-295: IEC 60601-2-33 Ed. 3.2 b:2015: Medical . electrical equipment - Part 2-33: Particular requirements for the basic safety

and essential performance of magnetic resonance equipment for medical diagnosis.

- Recognition Number 12-188: NEMA MS 1-2008 (R2020) Determination of 0 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in Diagnostic Resonance Imaging
- Recognition Number 12-187: NEMA MS 3-2008 (R2020) Determination of ● Image Uniformity in Diagnostic Magnetic Resonance Images

All relevant safety tests were performed on the workbench and, where applicable and necessary, on Siemens, Philips and GE 3.0T MR systems.

#### Clinical Images

Clinical images were acquired in order to check image quality in vivo. Gradient and spin echo sequences which are typical for diagnosis were applied with standard scan parameters and image orientations (axial, sagittal and coronal). These tests show that the SUBJECT DEVICE provides adequate image quality (SNR, penetration depth, contrast, resolution and robustness against artifacts) as well as scan time and that patient comfort are good.

#### Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence

Testing was performed to support this claim of substantial equivalence and to show that the modifications do not raise any new questions pertaining to safety and effectiveness.

The modifications did not affect the Indications for Use, the Intended Use and did not alter the Fundamental Scientific Technology.

### RAPID Biomedical therefore believes the SUBJECT DEVICE and the PREDICATE DEVICE to be Substantially Equivalent (SE).
