The PoleStar N-20 is a Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Device intended to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal, and oblique 2D and 3D images of the extremities and selected sections of the head. The images produced by the PoleStar N-20 reflect the spatial distribution of protons (Hydrogen Nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The NMR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density, spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2) and T2*. The PoleStar N-20 is intended to be used intraoperatively in a standard operating room. When interpreted by trained physicians, the MR images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.
Device Story
PoleStar N-20 is a compact, open-design intraoperative MRI system utilizing a permanent magnet. Device acquires 2D and 3D images of extremities and head sections using various pulse sequences (spin echo, gradient echo, fast spin echo, steady state free precession). Operated by clinical staff in standard operating rooms; unit is mobile, moving between operating table and storage cabinet. System transforms proton magnetic resonance signals into visual images based on T1, T2, T2*, and proton density. Output is displayed for physician interpretation to aid intraoperative clinical decision-making. Benefits include real-time or intraoperative diagnostic imaging capability without requiring patient transport to a dedicated radiology suite.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and technical comparison of imaging parameters, magnet specifications, and system performance characteristics against the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Permanent magnet MRI system; 0.13T field strength. Features closed-loop water cooling for gradients. Imaging modes: 2D/3D, spin echo, gradient echo, fast spin echo. Connectivity: DICOM 3.0 interface. Computer system: Pentium 586 CPU, 64MB RAM, 4xDSP C44 TI array processor. Form factor: compact, mobile unit for intraoperative use. No cryogens used.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring diagnostic imaging of extremities and selected sections of the head. Used intraoperatively in standard operating rooms to provide MR images for physician interpretation to assist in diagnosis.
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.
