No
The device description focuses solely on the hardware components and electrical design of an MRI coil. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".
No
The device is described as an NMR device that produces diagnostic images to be interpreted by a trained physician for the determination of a diagnosis, not for treatment.
Yes
The device aids in producing diagnostic images that, when interpreted by a trained physician, are useful in determining a diagnosis. This clearly places it within the diagnostic device category.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as coil arrays, quick disconnect boxes, PIN diodes, and coaxial cables, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
- Device Function: The Machnet Carotids Coil is a component of a Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanner. Its function is to receive the MR signal from the patient's body to produce images. It does not interact with or analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to produce diagnostic images of carotid structures in vivo (within the living body) using an MR scanner. These images are then interpreted by a physician. This is a form of in vivo diagnostic imaging, not in vitro diagnostics.
The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a medical device used for imaging the human body directly, not for testing samples outside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
To be used in conjunction with a Magnetic Resonance Scanner to produce diagnostic images of Carotid structures that can be interpreted by a trained physician. The Machnet Carotids Coil is designed to provide coverage of the carotid arteries and associated vasculature from the aortic arch through the Circle-of-Willis. Anatomic Regions: Head and Neck Vasculature. Nuclei Excited: Hydrogen The indications for use are the same as for standard imaging: The GE Signa system is indicated for use as an NMR device that produces images that: (1) correspond to the distribution of protons exhibiting NMR signal, (2) depend upon the density, spin lattice relaxation time T1, spin-spin relaxation Nivil parameters (process consessed ture of the head and neck regions specifically the thire 12) and (3) and (3) and (2) tissue. When interpreted by a trained physician, these carone arteries and association can be useful in the determination of a diagnosis.

Device Description
The Carotids Coil Array Assembly is a receive only coil array which consists of a dual set of coils electrically connected to a quick disconnect box which interfaces the assembly to the MR scanner. Each half of the coil assembly consists of two overlapping coils to buck out the mutual inductance between the coils. Active decoupling is achieved by PIN diodes which turn the coils to a high impedance state at transmit time. A pair of fast switching crossed diodes is installed in each coil segment acting as passive switches detuning the coils to further improve the safety of the Carotids Coil Array Assembly. Each transmission line has so called "bazooka baluns" installed to minimize the outer braiding currents on the coaxial cables. Coil diameter have been chosen to optimize sensitivity at distances to about 35 mm from the coil surface while a sharp cutoff beyond 40 mm from the surface minimizes the noise from volumes outside the region of interest. This ensures maximum signal ratio from the region of the carotids arteries.

§ 892.1000 Magnetic resonance diagnostic device.
(a)
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).(b)
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.
