Read the full statement (141 words)
The intended use of Paramed's Mr Inspire with Extended kit product is for diagnostic nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, calf, thigh, arm, forearm, Temporo Mandibular Joint (TMJ), with limitation to joint pathologies (no tumors, no angiography). If equipped with the Extended kit (code 01-1872-01) the MrJ Inspire device can also produce images of the C-Spine and L-Spine joints. The device produces transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross-sectional images, displaying the internal structure of the limbs and joint being imaged. The images that are produced correspond to the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) that exhibit the magnetic resonance properties and depend upon the MR parameters (spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2), nuclei density, flow velocity and chemical shift). If interpreted by a medical expert, these images can provide diagnostically useful information.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
