Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Medrad Quad T/L Coil is a receive-only surface coil for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, designed specifically for specialty MRI applications. It enhances signal reception from hydrogen nuclei during 2D and 3D imaging, improving visualization of the thoracic and lumbar spine regions. As a passive hardware component, it interfaces directly with MRI scanners to amplify signal clarity for diagnostic purposes.

This coil is intended for use in clinical MRI settings under physician supervision. Supplied as a reusable device, it is compatible with MRI systems operating at field strengths of 1.5T, 1.0T, and 0.5T. The device holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K982919) and is classified under OpenFDA device class 2, adhering to regulatory standards for MRI coils. Storage and handling must comply with manufacturer guidelines to ensure MRI safety and operational integrity.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the Medrad Quad T/L Coil designed for?

    The Medrad Quad T/L Coil is a receive-only surface coil specifically engineered to improve signal reception from hydrogen nuclei during MRI scans. It is optimized for enhanced visualization of the thoracic and lumbar spine regions, making it ideal for radiology applications requiring detailed imaging of these areas. The coil amplifies signal clarity when interfaced directly with MRI scanners, aiding in diagnostic accuracy.

  • How is the Medrad Quad T/L Coil supplied and intended for use?

    The Medrad Quad T/L Coil is supplied as a reusable device, meaning it is designed for repeated use in clinical MRI settings under the supervision of a physician. It is not intended for single-use applications. The coil must be handled and stored according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure MRI safety and maintain operational integrity, as improper handling could compromise imaging quality or pose risks during MRI procedures.

  • Which MRI field strengths is the Medrad Quad T/L Coil compatible with?

    This coil is compatible with MRI systems operating at field strengths of 1.5 Tesla (T), 1.0 Tesla (T), and 0.5 Tesla (T). The models M64TLC, M42TLC, and M21TLC are each designed to function within these specified field strengths, ensuring flexibility for different clinical MRI environments. Always verify compatibility with your specific MRI system before use.

  • Is the Medrad Quad T/L Coil sterile or non-sterile?

    The Medrad Quad T/L Coil is a reusable device and is not intended to be sterile. Sterility is not a requirement for this type of passive hardware component, as it is designed for direct interfacing with MRI scanners and does not come into direct contact with patients. Proper cleaning and maintenance protocols must be followed to prevent contamination and ensure reliable performance.

  • What regulatory approval does the Medrad Quad T/L Coil hold?

    The Medrad Quad T/L Coil holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the reference number K982919. This clearance indicates that the device has been deemed substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device and adheres to regulatory standards for MRI coils. The device is classified under OpenFDA as a Class 2 medical device, which is the second-lowest risk category for medical devices requiring general controls and special controls.
