Intended Use
The MAGNETOM system with the 6 Channel Body Coil is a whole body scanner. The MAGNETOM system with the 6 Channel Body Coil is indicated for use as diagnostic imaging device to produce transversal, sagittal, coronal and oblique images of the internal structures of the body. The images produced by the MAGNETOM system with the 6 Channel Body Coil reflect the spatial distribution of protons (hydrogen nuclei) exhibiting magnetic resonance. The MR properties that determine the image appearance are proton density; spin lattice relaxation time (T1), spin-spin relaxation time (T2) and flow. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.
Device Story
6 Channel Body Coil is an accessory for MAGNETOM MRI systems; functions as a radiofrequency receiver coil to capture magnetic resonance signals from protons in the body. Input: magnetic resonance signals; Output: raw data for image reconstruction. Used in clinical settings by trained physicians/technicians to produce diagnostic images of internal body structures. Device enhances signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and image uniformity compared to standard coils. Output interpreted by physicians to determine diagnosis based on proton density, T1, T2, and flow properties. Benefits patient by providing high-quality diagnostic imaging for clinical assessment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing focused on Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and image uniformity. Results demonstrated equivalence to predicate MAGNETOM system coils.
Technological Characteristics
6-channel phased-array body coil for MRI. Designed for integration with MAGNETOM Symphony/Sonata systems. Sensing principle: magnetic resonance signal reception. Performance specifications include SNR, image uniformity, geometric distortion, and high-contrast spatial resolution. No changes to static field strength, RF power deposition, or acoustic noise levels compared to predicate systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a diagnostic imaging device for whole body scanning in patients requiring transversal, sagittal, coronal, and oblique MR imaging of internal body structures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A magnetic resonance diagnostic device is intended for general diagnostic use to present images which reflect the spatial distribution and/or magnetic resonance spectra which reflect frequency and distribution of nuclei exhibiting nuclear magnetic resonance. Other physical parameters derived from the images and/or spectra may also be produced. The device includes hydrogen-1 (proton) imaging, sodium-23 imaging, hydrogen-1 spectroscopy, phosphorus-31 spectroscopy, and chemical shift imaging (preserving simultaneous frequency and spatial information).
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A magnetic resonance imaging disposable kit intended for use with a magnetic resonance diagnostic device only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
