Intended Use

The syngo® RT Interface is as an accessory to the linear accelerator system to provide input to the planning for the delivery of x-ray photon and electron radiation for the therapeutic treatment of cancer where indicated. The syngo® RT Interface supports the oncology workflow as a medical application for viewing, manipulation, contouring, 3D visualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaging modalities. This application allows the user to convert, store and export volume of interest (VOI) structures in DICOM® RT format for use in radiation therapy planning.

Device Story

The syngo® RT Interface is a software plug-in for the syngo.via MM Oncology workspace; it functions as an accessory to linear accelerators. It ingests multi-modality medical images (PET, CT, MR, SPECT) compliant with DICOM standards. Clinicians use the interface to view, manipulate, and perform 3D visualization of patient anatomy. The device provides segmentation tools for contouring target organs and findings; it automatically converts these contours into DICOM RT Structure sets. These structures are exported to third-party treatment planning systems for radiation therapy development. The device is intended for clinical use by healthcare professionals to assist in radiation treatment planning, potentially improving the accuracy of target delineation for cancer therapy.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. The device relies on the verification of software requirements and validation of the clinical workflow to ensure performance consistency with previously cleared predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based application; client/server architecture; DICOM-compliant image processing. Features include 3D visualization, segmentation, and contouring tools. Connectivity via standard network protocols for DICOM image data and RT structure sets. Operates as a licensable plug-in within the syngo.via environment.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an accessory to linear accelerator systems for cancer patients requiring x-ray photon or electron radiation therapy. Used by clinicians for viewing, contouring, and 3D visualization of medical images to facilitate radiation treatment planning.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.

The syngo® RT Interface offers the segmentation tools, which are currently cleared in the Virtual Simulation [VSIM] module of the syngo® Dosimetrist v2.7 workspace, to be available from the RT Connect workflow on the MM Oncology Reading pane. The syngo® RT Interface software is based on the currently cleared SIEMENS syngo.via software's client /server architecture and is intended to be marketed as a licensable plug-in to the currently cleared syngo.via MM Oncology™ workspace. The basic design, safety features and function of the segmentation tools supported within the syngo® RT Interface remain unchanged from their currently cleared intended use and functions, however, the segmentation tools have been modified to run on the syngo.via architecture. The syngo® RT Interface supports the RT Connect workflow application within the MM Oncology Reading pane that provides access to patient imaging data. The clinician can view and make clinical assessments of the area of medical interest (findings) using a variety of digital diagnostic radiographic [DDR] and other imaging modality images such as PET, CT, MR, and SPECT that conform to the DICOM standard. The RT Connect workflow on the MM Oncology workspace supports the segmentation tools for use on a three dimensional view allowing for a virtual setup of the patient's preliminary treatment planning. A variety of segmentation tools are supplied to assist in the delineation of structures for contouring and placement on target organ(s) or findings prior to the data transfer for use by the third party treatment planning systems [TPS]. Additionally, the segmentation tools available through the syngo® RT Interface supports a workflow that enables the user to delineate, edit, or delete contours, and automatically convert them to DICOM RT structures. The DICOM RT Structure objects can be transfer to a currently cleared and commercial DICOM compatible treatment planning system to be used in the development of the treatment plan by the clinician or archived. #### Syngo.via: ﻧﺔ The syngo® RT Interface software utilizes the SIEMENS proprietary syngo.via software client/server architecture and allows for a standardized graphical user interface across SIEMENS medical products. The syngo.via -based software design consists of a unified user interface with clinical focused workflow options (clinically based engines) allowing for a selection and use of modules of common software applications for image acquisition, reconstruction, post-processing, display, and archiving across the Siemens Healthcare imaging and radiation therapy product lines. Refer to Section 11- Design Description, for the System and Sub-System Requirements Specifications regarding these specific requirements. ### 510(k) for SIEMENS syngo® RT Interface Page Sect. 5/2 {2}------------------------------------------------ # Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. Radiation Oncology #### General Safety and Effectiveness: The device labeling contains instructions for use, on-line help and any necessary cautions and warnings, to provide for safe and effective use of the device. Risk management is ensured via a risk analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards and mitigations.
