Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typehardware
source quote (p.3)
The SIGNA 7.0T System is a whole-body magnetic resonance scanner designed to support high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, and short scan times. It is indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device to produce axial, sagittal, coronal, and oblique images, spectroscopic images, parametric maps, and/or spectra, dynamic images of the structures and/or functions of the head and extremities.
AlgorithmThe system includes a 7.0T superconducting magnet and an ultra-high performance gradient coil with a 60 cm patient bore, supporting scanning in axial, coronal, sagittal, oblique, and double oblique planes using a variety of pulse sequences, imaging techniques, acceleration methods, and reconstruction algorithms. The SIGNA 7.0T uses the SIGNA Works suite of applications, optimized for the advanced hardware and for the higher field strength to generate high resolution functional, structural, anatomical, vascular, and spectroscopic images.

Reported performance (0 observations)

FDA source did not state a quantitative performance metric — non-reporting is itself the signal.

Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.
