- "Hardware independent" solution: Can be distributed as software only or combined with common IT hardware that meets predefined minimum requirements.
- Risk Management: States that risk management is ensured via a risk analysis to identify potential hazards, controlled through software development, verification, and validation testing. Adherence to recognized industry practice and standards to minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards.
- Substantial Equivalence: The primary "proof" of safety and effectiveness for this type of device in a 510(k) submission is typically its substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. The submission claims substantial equivalence to:
- Siemens syngo Imaging (K05240i)
- Siemens syngo MultiModality Workplace (K061964)
The claim is that syngo® Imaging (V30) has the same intended use and similar technical characteristics, and "does not introduce any new potential safety risks and is substantially equivalent to and performs as well as the predicate devices."
In conclusion, this 510(k) summary focuses on the device's intended use, technological characteristics, and its substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices. It does not contain a specific performance study with detailed acceptance criteria, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert evaluations that would be typical for an AI-powered diagnostic device or a device making quantitative performance claims. The "study" here is implicitly the substantiation of technical similarity and risk mitigation in comparison to existing predicate devices, rather than a clinical performance study with defined metrics.
