Intended Use
The intended use of the AtamA™ System (comprised of two major subsystems: a MR head coil apparatus and a patient stabilization apparatus), in conjunction with a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system, is the collection of MR data and images of the human brain before, during, and at the end of brain surgery, in a standard operating room, diagnostic MR rooms, or in a MR intra-operative room, while stabilizing the patient's head during neurosurgical procedures and imaging. The patient head-stabilizing apparatus can also be used for other neurosurgical procedures requiring the patient's head to be stabilized or fixed. The head coil can also be used as a standard diagnostic head coil for diagnostic MR imaging. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining diagnosis.
Device Story
AtamA System consists of MR head coil and patient stabilization apparatus; facilitates neurosurgical workflow by maintaining head fixation during transport between OR table, gurney, and MRI couch; eliminates need to unpin/re-pin patient. Head coil functions as receive-only 8-channel split array for MR data collection. Used by neurosurgeons and radiology staff in OR or diagnostic imaging suites. Provides MR images for physician interpretation to assist in diagnosis and surgical guidance. Benefits include streamlined workflow, reduced patient movement, and consistent head stabilization during imaging and surgery. This submission expands compatibility to 3.0 Tesla MRI systems.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. NEMA standard testing performed to validate 3.0 Tesla compatibility for the head coil. Material analysis conducted to confirm 3.0 Tesla compatibility for the patient stabilization subsystem.
Technological Characteristics
Receive-only, 8-channel split array head coil; patient stabilization apparatus. Materials: thermoplastics, titanium, brass. Compatible with 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems. No software/algorithm components described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures or diagnostic MR imaging requiring head stabilization and/or brain imaging. Used in standard OR, diagnostic MR rooms, or intra-operative MR suites.
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.

## Description of Device
The AtamA"" System is comprised of two subsystems:
- (i) MR Head Coil
- (ii) Patient Stabilization System
These two subsystems have been designed to work independently and in unison to meet the varied needs of neurosurgical procedures utilizing MRI. In addition, the patient head fixation ring subsystem and patient board can also be used for other neurosurgical procedures requiring the patient's head to be stabilized or fixed. Also, the head coil can also be used as a standard diagnostic head coil for diagnostic MR imaging.
Specifically, the AtamA System allows a streamlined workflow for procedures requiring the patient to undergo MRI examination before, during, or after neurosurgical procedures. The AtamA System maintains patient head fixation while providing a patient board for convenient, safe and effective method of moving the patient from an OR table to transport gurney to MRI couch without the need to unpin and re-pin the patient.
This submission clears the use of the additional 3.0 Telsa AtamA Head Coil for use with specific Siemens and Imris 3.0 Telsa MRI Systems, and the expanded labeling of the components of the Patient Stabilization System for their compatibility with both 1.5 Tesla and 3.0 Telsa systems.

### Comparison to Predicate Device
The proposed Monteris Medical AtamA System is substantially equivalent in intended use, technology, design, materials, and physician use to the current Monteris Medical AtamA Head Coil and Patient Stabilization System, cleared under 510(k) Number K110411 for use in 1.5 Tesla MR Systems.
The testing described below demonstrates that the proposed addition of a 3.0 Tesla MR head coil and associated labeling changes on the AtamA System for 3.0 Tesla MR conditional compatibility do not raise any issues of safety or efficacy.
All patient contacting materials are identical in composition, source, and use with respect to the predicate device. The technical modes of action and technical principles are materially the same the predicate device.

# Summary of Supporting Data
The proposed AtamA 3.0 Tesla MR Head Coil is made by the same manufacturer, and is of the same basic design. as the currently marketed AtamA 1.5 Telsa MR Head Coil. Bench testing in accordance with NEMA Standards has demonstrated that the 3.0 Tesla MR Head Coil is compatible with 3.0 Telsa MRI systems.
An analysis of materials has shown that the AtamA Patient Stabilization Subsystem is also compatible with 3.0 Tesla MR environments and can be labeled with 1.5T and 3.0 T MR Conditional Compatibility.
### Conclusions
It can be concluded from the results that the Monteris Medical AtamA System is safe and effective for use in both the 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla MRI environments and can be labeled with both 1.5 T and 3.0 T MR Conditional Compatibility.
