Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Magnetom System is a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) device designed for diagnostic imaging of the human body. It generates detailed images of internal structures, including soft tissues, organs, and skeletal systems, using strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce cross-sectional views for clinical assessment.
This system is intended for use in radiology departments and clinical imaging centers, where it is operated by trained radiologic technologists or medical physicists. Supplied as a reusable medical device, it requires compliance with MRI safety protocols due to its magnetic field strength. Authorized under FDA Premarket Approval (PMA P830081), the Magnetom System adheres to regulatory standards for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging systems, including those outlined in 21 CFR 892.1000.
