FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date November 8, 1993
Product Code LNH
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Philips Gyroscan ACS-II Release 3 was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on November 8, 1993. Manufactured by Philips Medical Systems, it is classified as a Class 2 device under product code LNH.

What It Is

The Philips Gyroscan ACS-II Release 3 is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed to produce high-resolution images of the human body's internal structures. It operates using powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed cross-sectional images, aiding in the diagnosis of various medical conditions. This device is essential in non-invasive imaging, offering a safe and effective way to visualize organs, tissues, and other structures without the use of ionizing radiation.

Clinical Applications

This MRI system is commonly used in hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers for a wide range of clinical applications. It is particularly valuable in neurology for brain and spinal cord imaging, in orthopedics for joint and soft tissue evaluation, and in oncology for tumor detection and monitoring. The device is suitable for use in both adult and pediatric populations, providing critical information that guides treatment planning and management across various medical specialties.

Indications for Use

The FDA-cleared indications for the Philips Gyroscan ACS-II Release 3 include its use in obtaining detailed images of the body's internal structures for diagnostic purposes. It is indicated for patients requiring evaluation of neurological, musculoskeletal, and oncological conditions, among others.

Practical Considerations

When using the Philips Gyroscan ACS-II Release 3, clinicians should be aware of the need for patient compatibility with MRI, such as the absence of ferromagnetic implants. Proper positioning and technique are crucial for optimal image quality. The system's compatibility with various coils and sequences allows for tailored imaging protocols based on the clinical question.
