Intended Use
With the post-processing application syngo® Dual Energy it is possible to obtain additional information about the chemical composition of body materials. CT images taken at the same time with two different kV levels from the same patient and the same anatomical region are used and the differences in the energy dependence of the attenuation coefficients of different materials are exploited. These images will be combined and analyzed to visualize information about anatomical and pathological structures. Syngo Dual Energy is designed to operate with Siemens Dual Source CT scanners. CT images taken at the same time, using two different kV levels, of the same anatomical region of a patient are used. Depending on the region of interest, contrast agents may be used. The differences in the energy dependence of the attenuation coefficient of the different materials provide information about the chemical composition of body materials. The images are combined to visualize and analyze information about anatomical and pathological structures.
Device Description
Dual Energy CT can be used to obtain intensity measurements with two different spectra and thus provides additional information when compared to single energy. The postprocessing application Syngo Dual Energy uses this additional information to improve the visualization of various energy dependent materials in the human body.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical principles of dual-energy CT and image processing techniques, with no mention of AI or ML terms or methodologies.

No
The device is described as a post-processing application for CT images to visualize information about anatomical and pathological structures, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No

Reason: The device description states its purpose is to "improve the visualization of various energy dependent materials in the human body". While it provides "additional information about the chemical composition of body materials" and helps "visualize information about anatomical and pathological structures," it doesn't explicitly state that it makes a diagnosis. Its function is primarily about image processing and enhancing visualization for a clinician, rather than directly outputting a diagnostic conclusion.

No

The device is described as a "post-processing application" that operates with "Siemens Dual Source CT scanners." While the application itself is software, its function is directly tied to and dependent on the hardware of the CT scanner to acquire the initial dual-energy images. The description implies a system where the software processes data generated by a specific hardware device, rather than being a standalone software-only medical device.

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 description clearly states that this device is a post-processing application for CT images. It analyzes images taken from the patient's body, not samples taken from the patient's body.
  • Input: The input is CT images, which are generated by scanning the patient directly.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to visualize and analyze anatomical and pathological structures within the body based on the energy dependence of attenuation coefficients. This is an imaging analysis tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, while it is a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, it falls under the category of medical imaging software rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
