Device typehardware
source quote (p.7)
“The Vantage Fortian (Model MRT-1550/WK, WM, WO, WQ)/Vantage Orian (Model MRT-1550/ A3, A4, A7, A8) is a 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) System.”
AlgorithmDeep Learning based methods for Iterative Motion Correction (IMC) and Free Breathing Dynamic reconstruction; Deep Learning based technique for Precise IQ Engine (PIQE); Machine Learning based method for NeuroLine+.
source quote (p.7)
“Iterative Motion Correction (IMC): IMC has been updated to utilize Deep Learning based methods in addition to traditional model-based methods.Utilizing Deep Learning reconstruction, Free Breathing Dynamic enables a single continuous scan to aid patients who have difficulty holding their breath.Precise IQ Engine (PIQE): PIQE is Deep Learning based technique that generates higher in-plane matrix images from low matrix images while mitigating the ringing artifact. PIQE is targeted for brain and knee regions.NeuroLine+: NeuroLine+ has been updated to utilize Machine Learning based method.”

Reported performance (0 observations)

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

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.
