Signa PET/MR (K163619, K142098) Product Usage: The SIGNA PET/MR system combines magnetic resonance diagnostic devices (MRDD) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners that provide registration and fusion of high resolution physiologic and anatomic information, acquired simultaneously and isocentrically. The combined system maintains independent functionality of the MR and PET devices, allowing for single modality MR and/or PET imaging. These systems are intended to be utilized by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in the detection, localization, and diagnosis of diseases and disorders. The MR is intended to produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross-sectional MR images, spectroscopic images and/or spectra, and displays the internal structure and/or function of the human body. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. Depending on the region of interest, approved contrast agents may be used, as described in their labeling. This system may also be used for imaging during interventional procedures when performed with MR compatible devices, such as MR safe biopsy needles. The PET images and measures the distribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals in humans to aid the physician in determining various metabolic (molecular) and physiologic functions within the human body for evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer. The combined system utilizes the MR for radiationfree attenuation correction maps for PET studies. The system provides inherent anatomical reference for the fused PET and MR images due to precisely aligned MR and PET image coordinate systems.

An issue was discovered with the Pacific Hemostasis Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) kit, list number 100650, lot 948546 and FDP Latex Reagent, list 100651, lot 890199. While the kit performs accurately at FDP concentrations greater than 20 ΒΏg/ml, there is an observed reduction in sensitivity when FDP levels are less than 20 ΒΏg/ml. This reduction in sensitivity has been tied to FDP Latex Reagent lot 890199 and may result in false negatives.
