No
The summary describes image processing and calculation based on established methods (e.g., Arterial Input Function, area differences) and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like training or testing data sets.

No
The device is a software solution used for viewing and evaluating Neuroperfusion MR images and does not directly treat or cure any medical condition. It supports diagnostic interpretation rather than therapy.

Yes

The intended use of the device is for "viewing and evaluation of Neuroperfusion MR images for the routine use in MR image viewing," and it "supports interpretation and evaluation of examinations within healthcare institutions." This functionality directly contributes to diagnosing medical conditions.

Yes

The device is described as a "software solution" and a "post-processing software/application" that operates on images provided by a separate magnetic resonance diagnostic device. There is no mention of any hardware components being part of the syngo.MR Neurology device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The description clearly states that syngo.MR Neurology is a software solution for viewing and evaluating MR images provided by a magnetic resonance diagnostic device. It processes images, not biological samples.
  • The intended use is image post-processing and evaluation. The software is used to analyze and interpret existing MR images of the brain, not to perform tests on bodily fluids or tissues.

The device falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis software, which is distinct from IVDs.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(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)

Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence

syngo.MR Neurology has a similar intended use and the same basic technical characteristics as the predecessor devices syngo MR D11D (on MAGNETOM Aera and MAGNETOM Skyra) and syngo.x, in regards to the specific neurological functionalities. syngo.MR Neurology will be used for post-processing neurological images (viewing, processing and reading). The predicate device, MAGNETOM Aera and MAGNETOM Skyra with software syngo MR D11D, is also capable of postprocessing neurological images (viewing, processing and reading), in addition to acquiring the MR images. syngo.x is used as the basic software platform and is intended for post-processing, for example, viewing, manipulating, communicating and

storing medical images. The differences between the subject device and the predicate devices, which include the aforementioned new software applications, give the subject device greater capabilities than the predicate devices, but have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices, are similar to the functionalities of the predicate devices, and do not introduce any new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Ms. Byrne:

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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such , additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean r that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must or any I vith all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

5

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing pactice mourements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
