Intended Use

syngo.via WebViewer is a software-only device indicated for reviewing medical images from syngo via. It supports interpretation and evaluations within healtheare institutions, for example, in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology environments (supported Image types: CT, MR, CR, DR, DX, PET). It is not intended for storage or distribution of medical images. syngo.via WebViewer is an option for the syngo.via system and cannot be run without it. It is client server architecture and the client is intended to run on web clients which are connected to the healtheare institution IT infrastructure where the customer will insure HIPAA compliance. The communication of syngo.via WebViewer with connected medical IT systems will be done via standard interfaces such as but not limited to DICOM. The system is not intended for the display of digital mammography images for diagnosis.

Device Description

The syngo.via WebViewer is a software-based Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) used with the syngo.via system. The syngo.via WebViewer provides secure access to rendered medical image data and basic image manipulation through web browsers and mobile devices within the reach of the hospital network. It extends the syngo.via WebViewer software application previous cleared under K111079. New image types supported are PET and X-Ray images. It also provides functionality for displaying images via a mobile application on an iPad.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The document describes a PACS viewer with basic image manipulation and does not mention AI or ML capabilities.

Therapeutic

No
The device is described as a software-only device for reviewing medical images and supporting interpretation and evaluations, not for treatment or therapy.

Diagnostic

Yes

The device is intended for "reviewing medical images from syngo via", to "support interpretation and evaluations within healthcare institutions", and explicitly mentions use in "Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology environments". It is a PACS system that provides secure access to rendered medical image data and basic image manipulation. While it states it's not intended for digital mammography image diagnosis, its primary purpose of image review and interpretation for other modalities within a clinical setting points to a diagnostic function.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

Yes

The device is explicitly described as "software-only" in the Intended Use/Indications for Use section and the Device Description section. While it interacts with other systems and can be accessed via web browsers and mobile devices, the core device being cleared is the software itself.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of syngo.via WebViewer clearly states its purpose is for reviewing medical images from various imaging modalities (CT, MR, PET, etc.).
The intended use and device description focus on displaying and manipulating medical images, which are generated by imaging equipment, not derived from bodily specimens.
There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, syngo.via WebViewer falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Schroedel:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading,

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
