K072931 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the MC 3003G-32R HEAD COIL. Classified as Coil, Magnetic Resonance, Specialty (product code MOS), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Mr Instruments, Inc. (Minnetonka, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 30, 2007 after a review of 14 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1000 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight framework.
