Intended Use

syngo TrueD is a medical diagnostic application for viewing, manipulation, 3D- visualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaging modalities and/or multiple time-points. The application supports functional data, such as PET or SPECT as well as anatomical datasets, such as CT or MR. The images can be viewed in a number of output formats including MIP and volume rendering.

syngo TrueD enables visualization of information that would otherwise have to be visually compared disjointedly. syngo TrueD provides analytical tools to help the user assess, and document changes in morphological or functional activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations.

syngo TrueD is designed to support the oncological workflow by helping the user to confirm the absence or presence of lesions, including evaluation, quantification, follow-up and documentation of any such lesions. The application allows to store and export volume of interest (VOI) structures in DICOM RT format for use in radiation therapy planning systems.

syngo TrueD allows visualization and analysis of respiratory gated studies to support accurate delineation of the farget or treatment volume over a defined phase of the respiratory cycle and thus provide information for radiation therapy planning.

Note: The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the separate unregistered images. syngo TrueD is a complement to these standard procedures.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for syngo™ TrueD Software (K101749) describes an update to an existing medical image viewing and analysis software. However, it does not contain acceptance criteria for specific device performance metrics or a detailed study proving the device meets such criteria.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (TrueD VC60A, K091373) by describing new features and stating that these new functionalities do not introduce unmitigated risks or functionality that would affect its safe and effective use. The "Safety Information / Nonclinical Testing" section refers to software validation but does not provide specific performance outcomes.

Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from this document. I will highlight what information is present and explicitly state what is missing.


Description of Acceptance Criteria and Study to Prove Device Meets Acceptance Criteria

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Feature/MetricAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
General Device PerformanceNot explicitly stated as quantifiable performance metrics for new features. The overarching "acceptance criteria" is that the new functionalities do not introduce additional unmitigated risk or affect safe and effective use compared to the predicate device.The submission asserts that the new features (dynamic PET support, multi-bed respiratory gated data, PERCIST workflow) are fully validated and technically equivalent or extensions of previously cleared technology. No specific quantitative performance data is provided in this summary.
Risk ManagementCompliance with ISO 14971:2007 (Medical Devices Application of risk management to medical devices).Hazard analysis and validation completed, indicating the device is of "minor level of concern."
DICOM ComplianceCompliance with DICOM Standard:2003.Nonclinical testing completed in compliance with DICOM Standard:2003.
Software ValidationThe software design description, hazard analysis, validation testing, and technical and safety information were summarized and attached to the submission (not provided in this excerpt).Results of hazard analysis and validation, combined with preventive measures, indicate the device is of minor level of concern.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in this document.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified in this document. The document refers to "validation testing" but provides no details about the datasets used.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications of Experts

  • Number of Experts: Not specified.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not specified.
    The document states: "The output of the device is evaluated by trained professionals allowing sufficient review for identification and intervention in the event of a malfunction." and "The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the separate unregistered images." This implies physician involvement in interpreting results but does not describe their role in establishing ground truth for testing.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not specified.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • Was a MRMC study done? This document does not mention an MRMC comparative effectiveness study. The focus is on demonstrating technical equivalence and safety rather than comparative clinical effectiveness with human readers.
  • Effect Size: Not applicable, as no MRMC study is reported.

6. Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study

  • Was a standalone study done? This document describes a "software only solution" and mentions "validation testing." However, it does not provide details about a standalone performance study with specific metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy for the new features (e.g., PERCIST quantification, lesion detection). The device is positioned as an "analytical tool to help the user" and a "complement to standard procedures," suggesting it's intended for human-in-the-loop use.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Not specified. Given the nature of the device as an image viewing and analysis tool for oncology, potential ground truths could include expert consensus, pathology, or clinical outcomes, but the document does not elaborate on how ground truth was established for any validation activities.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This is a software update to an existing device (syngo TrueD), and the features described appear to be based on algorithmic implementations of established clinical criteria (e.g., PERCIST) and technical extensions for handling image data types, rather than a learning algorithm that requires a "training set" in the context of machine learning. The document describes "validation testing" but not "training."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable, as no training set for a learning algorithm is mentioned.

2Respiratory gated datawith multiple bedpositions.The VE10A version of TrueD isextended to allow respiratory gatedstudies with multiple bed positions tobe loaded into the application, ratherthan single bed positions as in TrueDVC60A (K091373).The respiratory gating functionalityremains otherwise unchanged.TrueD VC60AK091373
3Enabling PERCISTworkflow:Features:- Peak sphere- Peak spherediameter- Provide SUV peakquantification- Peak value- PERCIST ReferenceVOI- PERCIST threshold- Peak trending- Highest peaktrendingTrueD VE10A is extending the volumeof interest (VOI) quantificationfunctionality previously cleared inK091373 by enabling the user to applythe PERCIST (PET Response Criteriain Solid Tumors). The interpretation ofthe quantification results according tothe PERCIST criteria remains theresponsibility of the physician.The peak sphere is a 3D sphere VOIwhich is placed inside a larger 3D VOIat the location of the highest averageSUV value in the VOI which is calledthe 'peak SUV value'. This is anextension to previously clearedtechnology where TrueD is searchingfor the highest SUV value in a VOI.TrueD VC60AK091373
For each peak sphere, the applicationdisplays a peak sphere diameter whichis technically the same as a spherediameter.
The application is extended to allowusers to create PERCIST referenceVOIs in the liver or blood pool: a 3 cmspherical ROI (VOI) should bemanually placed by the user in thenormal right lobe of the liver (if the liveris abnormal a 1 cm diameter ROIshould be positioned in the descendingthoracic aorta extending 2 cm along z-axis). The VOI technology used forPERCIST reference VOIs is equivalentto existing VOIs in TrueD.
In addition to the usual quantificationparameters, the PERCIST ReferenceVOIs provide a PERCIST thresholdvalue which is calculated based on adefined mathematical formula which isprovided to the user in the userdocumentation of the application.
The application provides peakquantification trending in the samemanner as for other quantificationparameters.
The trending is extended to allow usersto see trending values between thehighest values for each time point forPeak, which may not be the samelesions in each time-point.
