The document describes standard CT technology and software for image reconstruction and management, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is described as an X-ray computed tomography scanner intended to produce images for diagnostic purposes (imaging body cross-sections), not to treat medical conditions.
Yes
The device is described as producing "cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data," which are then used for "image archive/evaluation." CT scans are used by medical professionals to diagnose illnesses and conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "whole body X-ray computed tomography scanner," which is a hardware device. While it includes software for control and processing, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The SOMATOM Emotion 6 system is an X-ray computed tomography scanner. Its function is to produce cross-sectional images of the body using X-ray transmission data. This is an in vivo imaging technique, meaning it examines the body directly, not samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the purpose is to produce images of the body for diagnostic purposes, which is characteristic of medical imaging devices, not IVDs.
Therefore, the SOMATOM Emotion 6 system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SOMATOM Emotion 6 systems are intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes* taken at different angles.
(*spiral planes: the axial planes resulted from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)

II. Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting the Substantial Equivalence Determination
Device Description:
The Siemens SOMATOM Emotion 6 systems are a whole body X-ray computed tomography scanners, which features a continuously rotating tube-detector system and functions according to the fan beam principle. The system software is a command-based program used for patient management, data management, X-ray scan control, image reconstruction, and image archive/evaluation.
Intended Use:
The SOMATOM Emotion 6 systems are intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angels or spiral planes* taken at different angles.
(*spiral planes: the axial planes resulted from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)
Technological Characteristics:
The SOMATOM Emotion 6 systems are whole body X-ray computed tomography scanners, which features a continuously rotating tube-detector system and functions according to the fan beam principle. The systems are based on the existing SOMATOM Emotion systems (for further details see chapter 2). The system will operate with SOMARIS/5 software.
General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:
All components of the SOMATOM Emotion 6 systems subject to the Federal Diagnostic Equipment Performance Standard and applicable regulations of 21CFR § 1020.30 and § 1020.33 are certified to meet those requirements; and an initial report as per 21 CFR § 1002.10 will be filed with the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). To minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice. The SOMATOM Emotion Duo is designed to meet the ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SAFETY STANDARD IEC 60601-1 and UL 187 X-RAY EQUIPMENT STANDARD FOR SAFETY.
Substantial Equivalence:
Siemens believes that within the meaning of the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990, the SOMATOM Emotion 6 systems operating with SOMARIS/5 software are substantially equivalent to the Siemens SOMATOM Emotion Duo and Somatom Sensation 4 CT scanners in commercial distribution.
