In a comprehensive imaging suite syngo® Imaging integrates Radiology Information Systems (RIS) to enable customer specific workflows. especially by supporting the role based and context sensitive RIS portals (such as "Portal Radiologist"). Enhanced syngo® Imaging workplaces use a variety of advanced post processing applications. The system is a "hardware independent" solution to be distributed either as software only or combined with common IT hardware which must comply to predefined minimum hardware requirements. The version V30 contains multiple improvements and optimizations on front end for usability, such as layout enhancements and display improvements. The three syngo® Imaging workplace deployments ... - syngo® Web Studio a web-based viewing application mainly used for image distribution a) - b) syngo® Basic Studio - for basic reporting, inside as well as outside of the radiology (standalone workstation) - syngo® Advanced Studio Advanced Application Bundle for use inside the radiology c) with advanced reporting functionality ... are medical diagnostic and viewing workstations intended for post processing, reporting, viewing and communicating / distributing of radiological softcopy images (including digital mammographic images) and so allow radiological technicians to receive and process all data needed. Based on Siemens syngo® software, the syngo® Imaging supports the wide variety of image types and its modular design and is capable of combining applications from different modalities in one workstation. The syngo® Advanced Studio integrates the modality specific application package syngo® CT Colonography (K042605). The syngo Imaging supports external post processing via the OEM interface by integration of the 314 party application syngo® WebSpace (K062673). By usage of only specific FDA approved monitors (e.g Siemens AG: SMVD 21500 or Dj(S)}-2103-D-5MP - K043122) validated together with the software, diagnosis on digital mammography images is possible, if images are not compressed lossy, as disclaimed respectively. The main purpose is storing and archiving of radiological softcopy images and structured (DICOM) reports. For PACS server the syngo® Imaging Data Management can be used as a DIC ()M-Archive (LTS Long-term Storage) in accordance with the DIC()M Conformance Statement. The Workflow Management enables by integration of any HL7- / DICOM-compatible RIS (IHE Year 5) to the syngo® Imaging PACS a consistent workflow – from patient revisuration to requirement scheduling to a personal work list and supports therefore reporting, documentation or administrative tasks. syngo® Imaging (version V30) is a "software only"-system, which will be delivered on CD-ROM / DVD or as a complete radiology solution consisting of common IT hardware and preinstalled software. syngo® Imaging will be installed by Siemens service engineers. Defined Hardware requirements are to be met. The backend communication and storage solution (DM) is based on LINUX and Windows 2003 operating system. The workplaces are based on Windows XP. Any hardware platform, which is Windows / Windows XP certified, will be supported. The herewith described syngo® Imaging supports DICOM formatted images and objects. By usage of redundant hardware component and cluster software a high availability concept could be realized, which provides as less as possible system downtime.

No
The document describes a standard PACS system with image processing capabilities, but there is no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No

Explanation: The device is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) intended to display, process, store and archive digital radiological images. It is explicitly stated that it supports the physician in 'diagnosis and treatment planning', but it does not directly treat or diagnose. Therefore, it is not a therapeutic device.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to display, process, read, report, communicate, distribute, store and archive digital radiological images, including digital mammography images," and that "It supports the physician in diagnosis and treatment planning." Furthermore, the "Device Description" explains that its components "...are medical diagnostic and viewing workstations intended for post processing, reporting, viewing and communicating / distributing of radiological softcopy images (including digital mammographic images)...".

Yes

The device description explicitly states that syngo® Imaging (version V30) is a "software only"-system, although it can also be delivered as a complete solution with common IT hardware. The core functionality is described as software.

Based on the provided text, the 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 syngo® Imaging system is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Its primary functions are to display, process, store, and manage digital radiological images. These images are generated by medical imaging equipment (like X-ray, CT, MRI, mammography) and are not samples taken from the body for analysis.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for displaying, processing, reading, reporting, communicating, distributing, storing, and archiving digital radiological images to support physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning. This is consistent with a PACS system, not an IVD.

The device deals with images of the body, not samples from the body.

Dear Mr. Teichert:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.

Image /page/4/Picture/9 description: The image shows a logo with the text "1906-2006 FDA Centennial" in a circular arrangement. The acronym "FDA" is prominently displayed in the center of the logo. The logo also includes three stars below the word "Centennial". The text is arranged in a circular fashion around the acronym.
