More Information

No
The document describes a PACS system with image processing capabilities and usability enhancements, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) intended to display, process, read, report, communicate, distribute, store and archive digital radiological images, and support the physician in diagnosis and treatment planning. It does not directly provide therapy.

Yes

The device is intended to "support the physician in diagnosis and treatment planning" by displaying, processing, and enabling the reading and reporting of digital radiological images for "primary image diagnosis in mammography".

Yes

The device description explicitly states that the system is a "hardware independent" solution to be distributed either as software only or combined with common IT hardware. This indicates that a software-only configuration is a valid and intended distribution method for this medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that syngo® Imaging is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that deals with digital radiological images. It displays, processes, stores, and archives these images for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on substances derived from the human body. Its function is solely related to the management and interpretation of medical images.

Therefore, syngo® Imaging falls under the category of medical imaging software/systems, not in vitro diagnostics.

The three syngo® Imaging workplace deployments ...

  • syngo® Web Studio a web-based viewing application mainly used for image distribution a)
  • syngo® Basic Studio for basic reporting, inside as well as outside of the radiology b) (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, reading, reporting, viewing and communicating / distributing of radiological softcopy images (including digital mammographic images) and so allow radiologists and 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 3rd party application syngo® WebSpace (K062673). By usage of only specific FDA approved monitors (e.g Siemens AG: SMVD 21500 or DjSB-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.

syngo® Imaging Data Management ensures all authorized personnel fast and continuous access to radiological data. It's main functionality ranges from availability of images having regard to data security, open interfaces, storage media, central system administration, back-up, software distribution to providing a flexible storage hierarchy. 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 DICOM-Archive (LTS Long-term Storage) in accordance with the DICOM 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 registration to requirement scheduling to a personal work list and supports therefore reporting, documentation or administrative tasks.

syngo® Imaging (version V31) 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.

(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)
