Intended Use

The Swoop Portable MR Imaging System is a portable, ultra-low field 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

Portable ultra-low field MRI producing images with standard MRI contrasts. Uses a commercial off-the-shelf tablet interface. Image reconstruction algorithm utilizes deep learning to improve image quality for T1W, T2W, and FLAIR sequences, reducing image noise and blurring. Includes software for pulse sequence parameters and DWI image post-processing.

Performance

Performance testing included software verification, image quality testing, software validation, biocompatibility, cleaning/disinfection validation, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, specific absorption rate characterization, and cybersecurity testing. All tests passed according to internal requirements and applicable standards. Testing leveraged prior predicates where applicable to support equivalence without new safety or effectiveness issues.
