The device description focuses on hardware components (SQUIDs, electronics, computer) for signal acquisition and display, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the summary.
No
The device is intended for measuring and displaying magnetic signals from the heart, indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.
Yes
The Intended Use statement explicitly states that the device "measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart," which is a form of data acquisition used to assess the state of a patient's health. While it says "intended for use as a tool," this refers to its role in providing data for diagnosis, rather than being a therapeutic device.
No
The device description explicitly details multiple hardware components including a sensor unit, electronics subsystem, electronics rack, and a computer, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Tristan Technologies Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer 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 description clearly states that the device "noninvasively measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart." This is a measurement taken directly from the body, not from a sample taken from the body.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing tests on substances outside of the body.
Therefore, the Tristan Technologies Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer is a non-invasive medical device used for measuring physiological signals, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The Tristan Technologies Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer (hereinafter referred to as the "Model 621/624") utilizes superconducting signal pickup coils and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) to detect and amplify magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the heart. The Model 621/624 consists of a sensor unit, an electronics subsystem for preliminary amplification, filtering, and analog to digital conversion of the signals from each SQUID, an electronics rack containing power supplies to power the electronics subsystem, a computer to control the operation of the electronic subsystem and the SQUIDs and to acquire and store the signal values collected by the system.
Intended Uses: న్.
The Tristan Technologies Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer is intended for use as a tool that non-invasively measures and displays the magnetic signals produced by the electric currents in the heart of human beings of any age or in the heart of a fetus in utero.
6. Technological Characteristics:
The Tristan Technologies Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer utilizes superconducting signal pickup coils and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) to detect and amplify magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the heart. The sensor comprises an array of 21 passive superconducting pickup coils, each of which is connected to a SQUID. The array is immersed in a reservoir of the cryogen liquid helium contained within an insulated container called a dewar. The pickup coils and SQUIDs are refrigerated by direct contact with the liquid helium cryogen. This is the identical technology and method of operation as used in the predicate device, the Model 2409 CMI Magnetocardiograph produced and marketed by CardioMag Imaging, Inc. The dewar for the Model 621/624 is configured to have a flat bottom tail section with interior diameter selected to enable the 21 pickup coils to be distributed approximately uniformly over the interior bottom surface and with exterior diameter selected to permit placement over the chest of a human being. A standard option offered with the Model 621/624 is three additional superconducting pickup coils connected to three additional SQUIDs: these coils are located some distance away from the 21 primary pickup coils and provide reference signals which are available for user of the system to employ for purposes of signal processing.

K151135
The output of each SQUID is a voltage, the value of which is proportional to the magnetic field at the corresponding pickup coil. The voltage from each SQUID is amplified, filtered and digitized by signal processing electronics. The digitized signals are conveyed to a computer hard drive. The hard drive thus contains data comprising the voltage from each SQUID recorded as a function of time. This data is available to the user of the system for analysis and interpretation. The Model 621/624 may be operated by a physician; it may also be operated by a technologist working under the direction and supervision of a physician.

- Non-clinical test results
A prototype of the Model 621/624 was installed at the University of Wisconsin Department of Medical Physics for research use only. Non-clinical test measurements using the device were conducted by University staff. Those results were published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics in Medicine and Biology, 58, (2013), pp. 8153-8161. (see Figures 3 and 4) Data for similar test measurements made using the CardioMag Model 2409 were published in the Annals of Non-invasive Electrocardiology, July 2005, vol. 10, pp. 312-323. (see Figure 4) Comparison of results demonstrate the technological equivalence of the Model 621/624 to the CardioMag Model 2409 for the measurement of magnetic signals produced by the human heart.
- Non-clinical test results
8. Conclusions:
Measurements of magnetic fields originating from electrical activity in the heart have been undertaken for at least the past 30 years. The Model 2409 CMI Magnetocardiograph produced and marketed by CardioMag Imaging, Inc. is a commercial device which performs these measurements and which is legally marketed under a 510(k) procedure completed in 2004. See K033488. The Tristan Technologies Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer uses identical technology and methodology as used by the CardioMag Model 2409 with an increased number of pickup antennae. Therefore, Tristan Technologies submits that its Model 621/624 Biomagnetometer is substantially equivalent to the CardioMag Model 2409.
