Intended Use
syngo Colonography is a self-contained image analysis software package for evaluating CT volume data sets. This software package can also be utilized for evaluating suitable MR volume datasets. Combining enhanced commercially available digital image processing tools with optimized workflow and reporting tools, the software is designed to support the physician in studying the inside (intra-lumenal view), the wall and the outside (extra-lumenal view) of the colon. With the functionality to view datasets from both the prone and supine positions, it facilitates the detection of colonic lesions (eg. Polyps) in addition to the evaluation, documentation and follow-up of any such lesions using standard spiral CT or MR scanning. This evaluation tool allows for volumetric analysis of colonic polyps or lesion size over time, helping the Physician to assess the changes in their growth. It is also designed to help the physician classify conspicuous regions of tissue unambiguously, with respect to their size, dimensions. shape and position. Due to all these capabilities the syngo Colonography software has the advantage of non-invasive evaluation of colonic lesions as compared to conventional colonoscopy.

More Information

No
The description focuses on standard image processing tools, workflow optimization, and reporting, without mentioning AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as an "image analysis software package" and "evaluation tool" designed to "support the physician in studying" and "facilitates the detection, evaluation, documentation and follow-up" of colonic lesions. It does not perform any treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device is an "image analysis software package" designed to "support the physician" in "evaluating CT volume data sets" and "MR volume datasets" of the colon to "facilitate the detection of colonic lesions (eg. Polyps) in addition to the evaluation, documentation and follow-up of any such lesions." It also allows for "volumetric analysis of colonic polyps or lesion size over time, helping the Physician to assess the changes in their growth" and to "classify conspicuous regions of tissue unambiguously, with respect to their size, dimensions, shape and position." These functions clearly fall under the definition of a diagnostic device.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as a "self-contained image analysis software package" and the description focuses solely on its software functionalities for image processing and analysis of existing CT and MR datasets. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components developed or included as part of this specific device submission.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (in vitro). This device analyzes medical images (CT and MR volume data sets) of the colon, which are generated from the body but are not biological samples themselves.
  • The intended use is image analysis and visualization. The software is designed to help physicians evaluate the colon's structure and identify lesions based on imaging data. This is distinct from analyzing biological fluids or tissues to diagnose or monitor conditions.

The device falls under the category of medical image analysis software, which is a different type of medical device than an IVD.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

This evaluation tool allows for volumetric analysis of colonic polyps or lesion size over time, helping the Physician to assess the changes in their growth. It is also designed to help the physician classify conspicuous regions of tissue unambiguously, with respect to their size, dimensions, shape and position.

Due to all these capabilities the syngo Colonography software has the advantage of noninvasive evaluation of colonic lesions as compared to conventional colonoscopy.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

The device labeling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warning, to provide for safe and effective use of the device.

Risk management is ensured via a hazard analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled via software development, verification and validation testing. To minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice and standards.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Syngo Colonography software package, addressed in this premarket notification, is substantially equivalent to the following commercially available software package:

| Predicate Device Name | FDA Clearance
Number | FDA Clearance
Date |
|-------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------|
| GE CT Colonography/Navigator 2
Workstation | K012313 | 08/07/01 |
| Siemens Fly Through | K971717 | 09/03/97 |
| Siemens RealTime 3D Diagnostic
Workstation (3D Virtuoso) | K973010 | 11/10/97 |

The Syngo Colonography software package described in this 510(k) has the same intended use and similar technical characteristics as the commercially available software listed above.

In addition, many of the image processing, display and evaluation components of syngo Colonography are currently available on software options like the Volume Rendering Technique option, K923524/S2, cleared on May 17th 1994 and workstations like the syngo Multimodality Workstation, K010938 cleared on 26th June 2001 wherein the Fly Thorough software algorithms were transferred over to the syngo software platform. syngo Colonography packages these image processing and image display components in an optimized workflow palette.

In summary, Siemens is of the opinion that Syngo Colonography software package does not introduce any new potential safety risks and is substantially equivalent to and performs as well as the predicate software components and the predicate device.
