The document describes a CT system with image reconstruction and post-processing features, including a new iterative reconstruction algorithm (iTRIM). While iterative reconstruction can be computationally intensive, the description does not mention or imply the use of AI or ML techniques like deep learning or neural networks for image processing, analysis, or any other function. The focus is on traditional image reconstruction and post-processing operating on DICOM images.
No
The device is used to produce images and aid in diagnosis, not to provide therapy or treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the images and results can be used "as an aid in diagnosis."
No
The device description clearly states it is a "whole body Xray Computed Tomography System," which is a hardware device. While it includes software for control and image processing, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, the Siemens SOMATOM Perspective system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis. The SOMATOM Perspective system, as described, is an imaging device that uses X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body. It does not analyze biological samples.
- The intended use clearly states it produces images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data. This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.
- The device description confirms it's a whole body Xray Computed Tomography System. This is a type of medical imaging equipment.
Therefore, the SOMATOM Perspective system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Siemens SOMATOM Perspective system is 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.
In addition the SOMATOM Perspective is able to produce additional image planes and analysis results by executing optional post-processing features, which operate on DICOM images.
For cardiac imaging, which is an option on the system, a new reconstruction algorithm (iTRIM - Iterative Temporal Resolution Improvement Method) is used. iTRIM improves the temporal resolution of cardiac CT images compared to conventional cardiac CT image reconstruction. Actual results obtained with iTRIM can vary depending on the particular clinical situation.
The images and results delivered by the SOMATOM Perspective can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis.

6. Summary of Technical Characteristics of the Subject Device as Compared with the Predicate Device:
The SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations are comparable in Indications for Use, material, functionality, technology, energy source, and are considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices SOMATOM Perspective (K113287, clearance date May 23, 2012) and the SOMATOM Emotion 16 (K050297, clearance date March 01, 2005).
The SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations are intended to produce whole body 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. The imaging components (tube, collimator, detector, and DAS) are the same as the predicate devices.
The SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations include the following new system features designed to allow more efficient system use:
- eCockpit Software bundle designed to support more efficient . system use
- eStart Software option designed to extend the tube life by pre-. warming the tube before a scan
- eSleep Software option designed to save energy by stopping the . gantry rotation during scan breaks
Additionally, the SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations support the following acquisition method:
- Source Dual Energy Acquisition Scanning and Single . reconstruction of two spiral scans with different tube voltages (Dual Eneray)
The intended use and fundamental scientific technology are similar to the predicate devices; therefore Siemens believes that they are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

8. Indications for Use:
The Siemens SOMATOM Perspective system is 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.
In addition the SOMATOM Perspective is able to produce additional image planes and analysis results by executing optional post-processing features, which operate on DICOM images.
For cardiac imaging, which is an option on the system, a new reconstruction algorithm (iTRIM - Iterative Temporal Resolution Improvement Method) is used. iTRIM improves the temporal resolution of cardiac CT images compared to conventional cardiac CT image reconstruction. Actual results obtained with iTRIM can vary depending on the particular clinical situation.
