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 Description
The Monteris medical AtamA™ System is comprised of two major subsystems: (i) a MR head coil functionality, and (ii) a patient stabilization functionality. These two subsystems have been designed to work independently and in unison to meet the varied needs of neurosurgical procedures utilizing MRI. The Head Coil Subsystem is comprised of a novel design of a standard split-array multichannel (8 channel) receive coil in the form of a common Lower Coil and two interchangeable Upper Coils (only one used at any time) and the appropriate coil configuration data, known as "coil files", for the selected MR system to be used. The design of the two-part Head Coil system is such that, in conjunction with the rest of the AtamA System, openings in the two-part coil can be rotated around the patient's head to allow surgical access to essentially any supratentorial aspect of the patient's head, and still allow for the collection of MR data without repositioning the patient or moving the coils within the MR system. This will allow for more expedient collection of high quality MR data, minimize moving the patient, and maintenance of spatial registration (required for or supporting stereotactic procedures). The Stabilization subsystem is comprised of three major components and their accessories. The major components are: A Head Fixation Ring (HFR) apparatus, A Cradle that fixates the HFR and the two-part Coil relative to each other and the MRI system bore, and A patient Board that allows for the effective transport of the patient to and from various procedures and procedure locations while maintaining the stability and spatial registration of the patient.

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device's images, "When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining diagnosis." This indicates its role in the diagnostic process. Additionally, the device can be used as a "standard diagnostic head coil for diagnostic MR imaging."

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components: a MR head coil apparatus and a patient stabilization apparatus, including a Head Fixation Ring, Cradle, and patient Board. While it mentions "coil files" which are data, the core of the device is physical hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the collection of MR data and images of the human brain for use in surgical procedures and diagnostic imaging. This involves imaging the patient directly, not analyzing samples taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical apparatus (head coil and stabilization system) used in conjunction with an MR imaging system. It does not involve reagents, test kits, or analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological specimens.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The AtamA™ System is a medical device used for imaging and patient stabilization during procedures.

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.

The intended use of the AtamA System is essentially the same as the intended use of the predicate devices, as are the indications for use.

Technological Characteristics

The technical modes of action and technical principles are materially the same as the predicate devices, including: split array 8-channel MR head coil design and construction, materials being functionally similar in all cases (identical in several aspects), and relying upon the same principles of head stabilization/immobilization. The design differences are in how the AtamA System utilizes and integrates these technical characteristics in an expedient and convenient system.

Non-Clinical Performance Data

Performance testing was performed to recognized standards for the Coil functionality and to actual values of predicate devices measured in parallel of predicate devices (when available), or to values reported by the manufacturers of the predicates. NEMA Magnetic Resonance Imaging standards, where appropriate were followed. Biocompatibility, per ISO 10993, was demonstrated.
