Intended Use
The CMI Magnetocardiograph is intended for use as a tool that non-invasively measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart.
Device Description
This device integrates an array of magnetic detectors with data acquisition hardware/software for the purpose of measuring the magnetic signals generated by the electrical current flowing in the heart. The detectors are housed in a vertically adjustable holder. The patient bed moves horizontally in orthogonal directions allowing the acquisition of multiple datasets for different locations above the torso. Three standard ECG electrodes are placed on each wrist and one ankle of the subject to provide a reference signal for synchronization of multiple MCG datasets. The MCG data is preprocessed and displayed as either real time traces, averaged traces, or as multi-dimensional color maps.

No
The summary describes standard signal processing and display, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device's intended use is to non-invasively measure and display magnetic signals from the heart, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device "measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart," which is a diagnostic function, and the "Summary of Performance Studies" mentions "Clinical data was also used as part of the indication for substantial equivalence to 5-lead ECG," suggesting its use in a diagnostic context.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "an array of magnetic detectors with data acquisition hardware/software" and "The detectors are housed in a vertically adjustable holder. The patient bed moves horizontally". This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The CMI Magnetocardiograph directly measures magnetic signals produced by the electrical activity of the heart within the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it "non-invasively measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart." This is a direct measurement of a physiological process, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the CMI Magnetocardiograph falls under the category of a medical device that performs a non-invasive measurement, rather than an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The device was tested by the Underwriters Laboratories and found to comply with requirements for fire, casualty and shock hazards covering UL equipment Class 1, and judged to be eligible for Classification and Follow-Up Service. The result is that CardioMag Imaging, Inc. (CMI) is authorized to use the UL marking, and is assigned UL # 51LB. Underwriters Laboratories also conducted Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing, the result being a Compliance Certificate given to CMI. Details can be found in Appendix D.

Extensive on-site testing at clinical sites shows that the device performs to specifications in a clinical environment. Clinical data was also used as part of the indication for substantial equivalence to 5-lead ECG (Appendix H).

Bench tests are applied to all units which leave CMI to be used for R&D investigations. Results of the bench testing are reviewed to assess pass or failure of the components and the system.

Each new version of the software is tested in accordance with FDA guidelines. Results of performance testing for the latest version of the software are documented in Appendix C.

5. INTENDED USE

The CMI Magnetocardiograph is intended for use as tool which non-invasively measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence 6.

The CMI Magnetocardiograph is substantially equivalent to the Hewlett Packard ECG [510(k) number K760542] and the Neuromag Ltd. Magnetoencephalograph (MEG) called the Neuromag-122 [510(k) number K962764] in safety and effectiveness. Two tables, H.1 and H.2, are presented to illustrate the similarities and differences between the CMI Magnetocardiograph and its predicates.

The basis for equivalence to the 5-lead Electrocardiograph predicate is that the CMI Magnetocardiograph produces magnetic waveforms (or traces) very similar in morphology to the electrical waveforms produced by the 5-lead Electrocardiograph, both waveforms emanating from the human heart. Data, taken from human subjects, is presented in Appendix H (Substantial Equivalence Information) to support this claim.

The basis for equivalence to the Magnetoencephalograph is that the Magnetoencephalograph (MEG) predicate and the magnetocardiograph (MCG) both use very similar technology (SQUIDs) and both measure the magnetic field emanating from a source - they are functionally equivalent. Appendix H presents data to support this claim.

Safety

The CMI Magnetocardiograph uses liquid Helium cooled sensors, which are housed in a thermally insulated cryostat, the outside temperature of which is at ambient temperature. In the highly unlikely event of the accidental rapid evaporation of the cryogen, the flow of gas would be upward, away from the subject. Refill of the cryostat is easily accomplished following the instructions and illustrations in the hardware manual. Since the device is entirely passive, does not touch the subject, and is housed in an electrically neutral fiberglass housing, the system is at least as safe as electrical ECG systems for both the operator and the subject. Comparable to the Neuromag-122 MEG system, the sensors make no contact to the subject. During a pilot study involving hundreds of subjects, there are no instances of any discomfort or pain to the patient, nor have any safety issues arisen while obtaining cardiac data from a subject.

7. PERFORMANCE TESTING

The device was tested by the Underwriters Laboratories and found to comply with requirements for fire, casualty and shock hazards covering UL equipment Class 1, and judged to be eligible for Classification and Follow-Up Service. The result is that CardioMag Imaging, Inc. (CMI) is authorized to use the UL marking, and is assigned UL # 51LB. Underwriters Laboratories also conducted Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing, the result being a Compliance Certificate given to CMI. Details can be found in Appendix D.
