What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
“Hepatica (Hepatica v1) is a post-processing medical device software that presents quantified metrics which may contribute to the assessment of a patient’s liver health. “LiverMultiScan (LMSv4) is indicated for use as a magnetic resonance diagnostic device software application for non-invasive liver evaluation that enables the generation, display and review of 2D magnetic resonance medical image data and pixel maps for MR relaxation times. Hepatica (Hepatica v1) uses image visualisation and analysis tools to process DICOM 3.0 compliant magnetic resonance image datasets to produce semi-automatic segmented 3D models of the liver based on the work of Couinaud and the Brisbane 2000 terminology. For each identified Couinaud segment, volumetric data is determined and reported. LiverMultiScan (LMSv4) is designed to utilize DICOM 3.0 compliant magnetic resonance image datasets, acquired from compatible MR systems, to display the internal structure of the abdomen including the liver. Other physical parameters derived from the images may also be produced. Hepatica (Hepatica v1) may also report iron corrected-T1 (cT1) and PDFF calculated using the IDEAL method from multi-slice acquisitions, on a per segment basis, over the whole liver. Both metrics present numerical values of different fundamental liver tissue characteristics that can be used as measures of liver tissue health. LiverMultiScan (LMSv4) provides a number of tools, such as automated liver segmentation and region of […]

Adverse-event reports in MAUDE, by product code
As of , MAUDE held 4,787 reports filed against devices carrying product code LNH. That code is shared by every device of this type, not this device alone, and MAUDE reports are submitted by manufacturers, facilities and the public without FDA verification. The latest reports, in the reporter’s words:
29 September 2026 · Malfunction · Achieva 1.5T Dstream · Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. · report 3042177665-2026-000174
28 September 2026 · Malfunction · Achieva 1.5T · Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. · report 3042177665-2026-000166
Philips received a report that the Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal on the front cover is coming loose. This seal is used for protection, to avoid the patient from potentially contacting the sharp edges of the Magnet covers.If this seal is loose, it is likely that this could lead to serious injury.
