No
The document describes a linear accelerator system and associated software for radiation therapy. While it mentions image processing and data management, there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related technologies in the provided text. The focus is on treatment planning, delivery, and recording, and integration with third-party systems.
Yes.
The device's intended use is to deliver X-Ray photon and electron radiation for the therapeutic treatment of cancer, and it is a optional feature to medical linear accelerator devices (LINAC) which are therapeutic devices.
No
The device description clearly states that the intended use of the SIEMENS branded ARTISTE™, ONCOR™ and PRIMUS™ family of linear accelerator systems is "to deliver X-Ray photon and electron radiation for the therapeutic treatment of cancer," which indicates a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one. While it mentions viewing, processing, filming, and archiving medical images, these functions are supporting the treatment process rather than making a diagnosis.
No
The device is described as an "optional feature to the existing SIEMENS branded ARTISTE™ and ONCOR™ family of medical linear accelerator devices [LINAC]". While it is a software workspace, it is presented as an integral part of a larger hardware system (the linear accelerator) and its function is directly tied to controlling and interacting with that hardware for treatment delivery. It is not a standalone software application.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The primary intended use is the delivery of radiation for the therapeutic treatment of cancer. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a linear accelerator system and associated software for managing and delivering radiation therapy. It focuses on treatment delivery and verification, not on analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), which is a core characteristic of IVD devices. The image processing mentioned is for viewing, processing, filming, and archiving medical images, which is common for many medical devices and not exclusive to IVDs.
In summary, the device's function is to deliver treatment, not to diagnose a condition based on in vitro analysis.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the SIEMENS branded ARTISTE™, ONCOR™ and PRIMUS™ family of linear accelerator systems is to deliver X-Ray photon and electron radiation for the therapeutic treatment of cancer.
The syngo® workspaces includes a number of syngo® based software applications whose indication for use include the viewing, processing, filming, and archiving of medical images. The workspaces also permit patient data management, patient selection/setup, patient positioning verification, treatment planning, treatment delivery/verification, and treatment recording.
The syngo® RT Therapist Connect Workspace contains software applications that permits patient selection/setup, patient positioning verification, treatment delivery/verification, and treatment recording. The syngo® RT Therapist Connect Workspace is an option when third party OIS, Treatment Planning Systems and/or PACS devices conforming to the DICOM® Standard are intended to be used in conjunction with the Siemens branded Linear Accelerator system.

Device Description
The syngo® Therapist Connect Workspace is an optional feature to the existing SIEMENS branded ARTISTE™ and ONCOR™ family of medical linear accelerator devices [LINAC]. The basic design, safety features and function of the LINAC control console and the linear accelerator treatment delivery, dosimetry, treatment recording and portal imaging subsystems remain unchanged.
The syngo® Therapist Connect Workspace differs from the predicate COHERENCE and syngo® Therapist Workspaces in that it does not contain a Oncology Information System (OIS) or Verify and Record (V&R) application such as PRIMEVIEW. These functions are located on the Third Party OIS system. The syngo® Therapist Connect Workspace receives the treatment plan from a Third Party OIS system or Third Party Treatment Planning System (TPS), supports the final review of the treatment parameters and enables the Radiation Therapist to initiate the delivery of the treatment prescription.
Upon completion of the treatment prescription, a report is submitted to the Third Party OIS or TPS system in the form of a DICOM RT Structured Report. All other features such as patient selection/setup, patient positioning verification, treatment delivery/verification, and treatment recording that are supported by the predicate COHERENCE and syngo® Therapist Workspaces remain unchanged.
