No
The description focuses on the physical design and performance characteristics of an MRI coil, with no mention of AI or ML for image processing or analysis.
No
The device is described as a receive-only coil for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems, intended to produce diagnostic images. Its purpose is diagnosis, not therapy.
Yes
The device is described as producing "diagnostic images" that "can be interpreted by a trained physician," explicitly stating its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "receive-only, 16-channel phased array coil designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)". This describes a physical hardware component used in MRI systems, not a software-only device. The summary also details biocompatibility, electrical safety, and performance testing related to the physical coil.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck is an MRI coil. Its purpose is to receive radiofrequency signals from the body during an MRI scan to produce diagnostic images. It does not interact with or analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for producing "diagnostic images of the head, neck, and feet". This is a function of an imaging device, not an IVD.
The information provided describes a medical imaging accessory used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).

Summary of Performance Studies
Biocompatibility Testing: All surface materials on the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck and its accessories that are intended to come into direct or indirect contact with patient biological tissues, cells or body fluids either have a history of safe use in previously-cleared devices or have been assessed for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-1. Per ISO 10993-1, all patient-contacting materials on the 16ch Tx/Rx Knee SPEEDER are classified as surface-contacting, limited exposure (A) devices. Therefore, where testing was performed, the materials were tested for cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5 and for irritation and sensitization per ISO 10993-10.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility: The Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck was tested to and found to be compliant with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-33. Surface heating was tested in accordance with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1. The measured temperature of the surface of the coil never exceeded the maximum limit of 41°C.
Performance Testing - Bench: The SNR and uniformity of the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck was analyzed per NEMA MS 6-2008 and was found to conform to pre-determined acceptance criteria.
Performance Testing - Clinical: In accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry: Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices, clinical images from volunteer scanning of the head, neck and feet were obtained from the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck. These images were used to demonstrate that the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck produces diagnostic quality images of the intended anatomies.

The Indications for Use statement for the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck is not identical to the predicate device; however, the differences do not alter the intended diagnostic use of the device nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the device relative to the predicate. Both Indications for Use statements indicate that the device is intended to be used in conjuction with an MR system to produce images of the head, neck and feet and that the images can be interpreted by a trained physician. The Indications for Use statements differ in that the proposed Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck is intended for use in a 3T MR system versus 1.5T MR system for the predicate device.
11. Summary of Technological Characteristics Compared to the Predicate Device
The proposed Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck and the predicate Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck are both 16-channel, receive-only, phased array RF coils intended to be used in conjunction with an MR system to provide images of the head, neck and feet and that the images can be interpreted by a trained physician.
At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- . 16-channel, receive-only, phased array RF coils
- Active PIN diode switching blocking circuitry. Passive blocking circuitry.
- Split-top mechanical design with an inner cross section shaped to fit ● the head
- Three anterior adaptors included ●
- Housing materials are rigid, fire-rated, and biocompatible
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- Field strength of MR system (3T (subject) versus 1.5T (predicate)) .
12. Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility Testinq
All surface materials on the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck and its accessories that are intended to come into direct or indirect contact with patient biological tissues, cells or body fluids either have a history of safe use in previously-cleared devices or have been assessed for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-1. Per ISO 10993-1, all patientcontacting materials on the 16ch Tx/Rx Knee SPEEDER are classified as surface-contacting, limited exposure (A) devices. Therefore, where testing was performed, the materials were tested for cytotoxicity per ISO 10993-5 and for irritation and sensitization per ISO 10993-10.
Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility
The Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck was tested to and found to be compliant with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-33.
Surface heating was tested in accordance with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1. The measured temperature of the surface of the coil never exceeded the maximum limit of 41°C
Performance Testing - Bench
The SNR and uniformity of the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck was analyzed per NEMA MS 6-2008 and was found to conform to pre-determined acceptance criteria.
Performance Testing - Clinical
In accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry: Guidance for the Submission of Premarket Notifications for Magnetic Resonance Diagnostic Devices, clinical images from volunteer scanning of the head, neck and feet were obtained from the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck. These images were used to demonstrate that the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck produces diagnostic quality images of the intended anatomies.
13. Conclusion
The electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility and biocompatibility data support the safety of the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck and the bench testing per the NEMA standards demonstrates the performance and effectiveness of the device under the specified use conditions. This testing demonstrates that the Atlas SPEEDER Head/Neck performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
