Intended Use

The Swoop Portable MR Imaging System is a bedside magnetic resonance imaging device for producing images that display the internal structure of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.

Technology

The system is a portable MRI device using a 63.3 mT permanent magnet with image reconstruction algorithms that utilize deep learning to reduce noise and blurring in T1W, T2W, and FLAIR sequences. It includes a commercial off-the-shelf tablet interface for control and cloud storage interaction. Modifications include enhanced pulse sequences and noise correction features.

Performance

Verification and validation testing confirmed software functionality, image quality, cybersecurity, biocompatibility, cleaning, electrical safety, and performance characterization met applicable standards, supporting substantial equivalence to predicate device K212456 without new safety or effectiveness issues.
