Pathway 510K
Decision Date November 22, 1991
Product Code LNH
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Philips Rigid Volume Coils were cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on November 22, 1991. Manufactured by Philips Medical Systems, this device is classified as Class 2 under product code LNH.

What It Is

Philips Rigid Volume Coils are specialized components used in MRI systems to improve image resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. These coils are designed to fit specific anatomical regions, providing high-quality images that are crucial for accurate diagnosis. By focusing on a targeted area, they allow for detailed visualization of tissues and structures, which is essential in both diagnostic and interventional radiology.

Clinical Applications

These coils are commonly used in MRI procedures across various specialties, including neurology, orthopedics, and oncology. They are particularly valuable in settings where detailed imaging of specific body parts, such as the brain, spine, or joints, is required. The device is used in both inpatient and outpatient settings, catering to a wide range of patient populations, from pediatric to geriatric.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications for Philips Rigid Volume Coils involve their use in enhancing MRI imaging quality. They are intended for patients requiring detailed imaging of specific anatomical regions, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like tumors, vascular abnormalities, and musculoskeletal disorders.

Practical Considerations

When using Philips Rigid Volume Coils, clinicians should consider the specific anatomical region being imaged to select the appropriate coil size. These coils are compatible with Philips MRI systems and require proper positioning to optimize image quality. Familiarity with the MRI system and coil setup is essential for effective use.
