The summary describes a device that measures magnetic fields produced by the brain using SQUID technology and processes these signals. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis, interpretation, or any other function. The performance studies focus on signal detection sensitivity, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device's intended use is to provide information for diagnosis or therapy planning by detecting and amplifying magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain. It does not directly provide therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the information gathered by the device "could contribute to diagnosis or therapy planning." This indicates its role in aiding in the identification of a patient's condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a sensor unit, electronics subsystem, electronics rack, and a computer, indicating it is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Mag View Biomagnetometer Function: The Mag View Biomagnetometer directly measures magnetic fields produced by electrical activity within the patient's brain. It does not analyze specimens taken from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to gather information about the magnetic fields produced by the brain and their sources to contribute to diagnosis or therapy planning. This is a direct measurement of a physiological process within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body.
Therefore, the Mag View Biomagnetometer falls under the category of a medical device used for direct physiological measurement, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Description of Device: 4.
The Tristan Technologies MagView Biomagnetometer (hereinafter referred to as the "MagView") utilizes superconducting signal pickup coils and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) to detect and amplify magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in brain. The MagView consists of a sensor unit, an electronics subsystem for preliminary amplification, filtering, and analog to digital conversion of the signals from each SOUID, 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. -
న్. Intended Uses:
The Tristan Technologies MagView Biomagnetometer is intended for use for the patient whose physician believes that information about the magnetic fields produced by that patient's brain and information about the location of the sources of those magnetic fields could contribute to diagnosis or therapy planning. The intended patient populations are neonates and infants and those children with head circumferences of 50 cm or less.
6. Technological Characteristics:
The Tristan Technologies MagView utilizes superconducting signal pickup coils and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) to detect and amplify magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in brain. This is the identical method of operation as that in the predicate Magnes 2500 WH. The MagView sensor comprises a primary array of 270 passive superconducting pickup coils, each of which is connected to a SQUID, a second array of 114 pickup coils spaced behind the primary array, each of which is also connected to a SQUID. By contrast, the predicate device employs 148 primary pickup coils and a second array of 8 pickup coils spaced behind the primary array. The pickup coils in the MagView are distributed over the same area of the head of a patient as are the coils in the predicate device. The sensitivity of each pickup coil is 10 femtoTesla//V Hz in both the MagView and the Magnes 2500 WH,
5
over a bandwidth from 1 Hz to 1 kHz. In both systems, the second pickup coil array spaced behind the primary array is available for noise cancellation purposes.
In both systems, the pickup coil arrays are contained within an evacuated housing along with an insulated container for the cryogen liquid helium. The pickup coil arrays and SQUIDs are refrigerated by solid thermal conduction to the cryogen. -For both the MagView and the predicate, the vacuum container is configured to have a helmet-like external shape at the bottom. This shape is sized and oriented to accommodate the positioning of the head of a human being lying in a supine position into the helmet-like shape. The shape of the MagView "helmet" is smaller than that of the predicate device, and will be appropriate for patients with smaller head sizes. However, the sensitivity of each pickup coil is the same for both devices.
The primary array of pickup coils in the MagView is positioned within the vacuum container so as to be in close proximity to the helmet-like shape, and thus when in use, to be in close proximity to the head of the human being. This is also the identical method used in the Magnes 2500 WH although the latter was capable of being positioned to accommodate heads of human beings in the seated position as well as in a supine position.
In both the MagView and the predicate device, 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. In the MagView, the signal from each SQUID is digitized with 24 bit precision at a sample rate of 5 kHz; in the Magnes 2500, the signal from each SQUID is digitized with 16 bit precision at a sample rate of 2 kHz. The digitized signals are conveyed to a computer hard drive. In both systems, a 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. While the MagView may be operated by a physician, it may also be operated by a technologist working under the direction and supervision of a physician.
The MagView system has been tested and shown to comply with the following safety standards:
IEC 60601-1:1988 + A1:1991 + A2:1995
IEC 60601-1-2:2007 Third Edition
IEC 61000-4-2:2008
IEC 61000-4-3:2010
IEC 61000-4-4:2012
IEC 61000-4-5:2014
6
IEC 61000-4-6:2003
IEC 61000-4-11:2004
CISPR 11: 2010
In addition, non-clinical testing of the system was conducted on the MagView using external calibrated signal sources to demonstrate magnetic signal detection performance comparable to that of the predicate device. The sensitivity of the system, averaged over all primary channels, was measured to be 10 femtoTesla/V Hz or better, over a bandwidth of 1Hz to 1 kHz, the same sensitivity and bandwidth offered by the Magnes 2500 WH.
7. Conclusions:
Measurement of magnetic fields originating from electrical activity in the brain has been undertaken for at least the past 30 years. The Magnes 2500 is a commercial device which performs these measurements and which has been legally marketed under a 510(k) procedure in 1996. See K962317. The Tristan Technologies MagView Biomagnetometer uses identical technology and methodology as used by the Magnes 2500, with a different number and geometric arrangement of the pickup coils and SQUIDs and with updated computer hardware and software. The intended use and indications for use are identical to that of the Magnes 2500.
Conclusions drawn from the non-clinical performance testing described above demonstrate that the MagView is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the Magnes 2500 WH. Therefore, Tristan Technologies submits that the MagView is substantially equivalent to the Magnes 2500 WH
