Intended Use
The Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS Open systems are intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes* taken at different angles. (*spiral planes: the axial planes resulted from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)
Device Description
The Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS Open is a whole body X-ray Computed Tomography System. The SOMATOM Definition AS Open produces CT images in DICOM format, which can be used by post-processing applications commercially distributed by Siemens and other vendors. The system software is a command-based program used for patient management, data management, X-ray scan control, image reconstruction, and image archive/evaluation. The new version of system software, syngo® CT 2013B (SOMARIS/7 VA46A), supports the following features: - MARIS (Metal Artifact Reduction in Image Space) A image . reconstruction mode designed to reduce image artifacts caused by metal - HD FoV Pro (HD FoV 2.0) Designed to enable a more reliable . visualization of the skin line of human body parts located outside of the standard field of view - t-MIP -- Image manipulation method for arithmetic operations which allows . the calculation of temporal Maximum or Minimum Intensity Projection (MIP) images from a set of series.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes image reconstruction and manipulation techniques (MARIS, HD FoV Pro, t-MIP) which are standard image processing methods in CT, not explicitly AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms.

No
The device is described as an X-ray Computed Tomography System intended to produce cross-sectional images for diagnostic purposes, not for direct treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data," which are used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "whole body X-ray Computed Tomography System," which is a hardware device. The software described is a component of this hardware system, not a standalone software-only medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS Open system is an X-ray Computed Tomography System. It produces cross-sectional images of the body by using X-rays. This is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging technique, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to produce images of the body for diagnostic purposes, not to analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS Open is a medical imaging device, not an IVD.
