DEVICE: FerriSmart (09355529000057)

Device Description: FerriSmart is a standalone software as a medical device indicated for the evaluation of liver R2 and liver iron concentration (LIC) from MRI images for the full spectrum of R2 and LIC known clinically. It automatically analyses multi slice, spin echo MRI data sets encompassing the abdomen to determine the signal decay rate (R2) that is used to characterize iron loading in the liver, which is then transformed by a defined calibration curve to provide a quantitative measure of liver iron concentrations in vivo. The software application is intended to be hosted either in a cloud-based or on site hosted platform and used directly by the radiographer. It does not drive the MRI machine and does not come into direct contact with patients. The result report provides the patient’s average LIC reported in micromole and milligram per gram dry weight of liver. The images analysed are included in the report for review by the radiologist. The results are intended to assist in clinical diagnosis, and/or in making decisions concerning clinical management. FerriSmart is indicated to: • Support clinical diagnoses in individuals with confirmed or suspected liver iron overload; • Assessment of liver iron loading to support the subsequent clinical decision-making for patients under management of diseases such as thalassaemia disorders or hereditary haemochromatosis. • Results, when interpreted by a trained physician can be used to support clinical diagnoses about the status of liver iron concentration, the subsequent clinical decision-making processes for the management of iron overload diseases.
