What is it indicated for?
The specialty coils are indicated for use in conjunction with the MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T & MAGNETOM Skyra 3T Systems, magnetic resonance diagnostic devices (MRDD), which produce transverse, sagittal, coronal and oblique cross sectional images, and display the internal structure and/or function of the body.
These images, when interpreted by a trained physician, yield information that may assist in diagnosis.
The intended use of the Aera and Skyra Systems is not affected by the use of the new specialty coils.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
