The 1.5T 16-Channel Shoulder Coil and 3.0T 16-Channel Shoulder Coil are receive-only phased array radiofrequency (RF) coils designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These coils are classified as Coil, Magnetic Resonance, Specialty and are optimized to enhance signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for detailed visualization of shoulder anatomy, including the humerus, humeral head, labrum, glenoid, scapula, clavicle, and rotator cuff regions.

These coils are intended for use with 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems and are supplied as reusable medical devices. They are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance and MDR compliance, with a classification as Class II devices. Storage and handling follow standard MRI coil protocols to maintain performance and sterility where applicable. The coils are designed exclusively for MRI applications and must be used in accordance with manufacturer instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Are these coils designed for single-use or can they be reused, and what are the recommended handling procedures?

These coils are explicitly designed as reusable medical devices. To maintain performance and ensure longevity, they must be handled according to standard MRI coil protocols, which typically include cleaning, storage, and periodic inspection as outlined by the manufacturer’s instructions. Proper care is essential to preserve functionality and avoid contamination.

What MRI field strengths are compatible with these coils, and how do they improve imaging quality?

The coils are designed for use with both 1.5T and 3.0T MRI systems. They are 16-channel phased array receive-only coils optimized to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), providing clearer and more detailed visualization of shoulder anatomy, including structures like the humerus, rotator cuff, and labrum.

How are these coils regulated, and what classification do they fall under?

These coils are classified as Class II medical devices under FDA regulations and have received 510(k) clearance, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. They also comply with the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The regulatory route confirms their safety and performance for intended MRI applications.

What specific anatomical regions do these coils focus on, and why is a 16-channel design beneficial?

The coils are specialized for detailed imaging of the shoulder anatomy, including the humerus, humeral head, labrum, glenoid, scapula, clavicle, and rotator cuff. A 16-channel design improves signal reception from multiple areas simultaneously, reducing scan time and enhancing resolution for better diagnostic clarity.

Are there any special storage requirements for these coils to maintain their performance?

While the data does not specify exact storage conditions beyond standard MRI coil protocols, reusable coils like these typically require protection from physical damage, electrostatic discharge, and environmental contaminants. Following manufacturer guidelines ensures optimal performance and longevity, particularly in clinical settings where they may be exposed to frequent use.
