Intended 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. (*spiral planes: the axial planes resulting from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)
Device Description
The SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations are whole body Xray Computed Tomography Systems. The SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations produce 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 VC28 (SOMARIS/5 VC28) supports several new features which support more economical and energy efficient scanner operation.
More Information

Not Found.

No
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.

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.

This submission contains performance data to demonstrate continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software. Non clinical tests (integration and functional) and phantom testing were conducted for the SOMATOM Perspective 16 and 32 slice configurations during product development. The modifications described in this Premarket Notification were supported with verification and validation testing.

The Risk analysis was completed and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The testing results supports that all the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria. Testing for verification and validation of the device was found acceptable to support the claims of substantial equivalence.

Software Documentation for a Moderate Level of Concern software per FDA's Guidance Document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" issued on May 11, 2005 is also included as part of this submission.

EMC/electrical safety was evaluated according to the IEC Standards. Siemens certify conformance to Voluntary Standards covering Electrical and Mechanical Safety. In conclusion, the identified risk of electrical hazards was mitigated and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness. All testing and validation has been completed.

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.

The images and results delivered by the SOMATOM Perspective can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis.
