source quote (p.5)
“AIR Recon DL is a software feature intended for use with GE Healthcare MR systems. It is a deep learning based reconstruction technique that removes noise and ringing (truncation) artifacts from MR images. AIR Recon DL is an optional feature that is integrated into the MR system software and activated through a purchasable software option key.”

source quote (p.5)
“AIR Recon DL is a deep learning based reconstruction technique that is available for use on GE Healthcare 1.5T, 3.0T, and 7.0T MR systems. AIR Recon DL reduces noise and ringing (truncation artifacts) in MR images, which can be used to reduce scan time and improve image quality. AIR Recon DL is intended for use with all anatomies, and for patients of all ages. Depending on the anatomy of interest being imaged, contrast agents may be used. The predicate device used deep learning convolutional neural networks to remove noise and ringing from certain 2D Cartesian acquisitions. The proposed AIR Recon DL has been modified to be compatible with PROPELLER and selected 3D Cartesian acquisitions. Both the proposed AIR Recon DL and the predicate device use neural networks that have similar architecture, and were trained using similar methods and data.”

Validation studies (2)

Bench

sample size not stated

endpoints: evaluate the feature and its impact on image quality, including SNR, sharpness, and low contrast detectability; compare Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) maps calculated from images using AIR Recon DL to those calculated from conventional images

Reader study (MRMC)

n=133 cases · 11 site(s)

endpoints: image quality in terms of apparent signal to noise ratio; sharpness; lesion conspicuity; image quality for shorter scan time acquisitions; accuracy of quantitative measurements such as contrast pharmacokinetics, lesion sizes, and brain volumetry results

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.

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.

Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid

Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Radiology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
