Intended Use
ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software. The end user can choose to apply either ADMIRE or the weighted filter backprojection (WFBP) to the acquired raw data. Depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice, the use of ADMIRE can help to reduce radiation dose while maintaining pixel noise, low contrast detectability and high contrast resolution. Phantom measurements showed that high contrast resolution and pixel noise are equivalent between full dose WFBP images and reduced dose ADMIRE images. Additionally, ADMIRE can reduce spiral artifacts by using iterations going back and forth between image space and raw data space. Images reconstructed with ADMIRE are not intended to be evaluated with syngo Osteo CT or syngo Calcium Scoring.
Device Description
Siemens ADMIRE is an extension of the previously cleared Sinogram Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction (SAFIRE) reconstruction algorithm. ADMIRE is a software option for CT operating systems that provides an improved image quality or reciprocally can allow the physician to acquire scans with reduced radiation dose without reduction of image quality compared to today's standard. ADMIRE is designed to improved reconstructed image quality through the integration of additional processing steps in image reconstruction. These additional steps result in the following improvements in image quality: - . Higher pixel noise reduction - A noise texture closer to filtered back projection (FBP) . - . Improved resolution for high contrast edges

No
The description focuses on iterative reconstruction algorithms and image processing techniques, which are traditional methods in medical imaging and do not inherently involve AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training data or models.

No.
The device is described as CT reconstruction software that improves image quality and allows for reduced radiation dose in CT scans, which are diagnostic tools. It does not directly treat or alleviate a disease or condition.

No
ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software that improves image quality or allows for reduced radiation dose. It processes acquired raw data to produce images, but it does not directly diagnose conditions.

Yes

The device is described as a "software option for CT operating systems" and its function is to perform image reconstruction, which is a software-based process. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The definition of an IVD involves testing samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • ADMIRE is CT reconstruction software. It processes raw data acquired from a CT scan (which is an in vivo imaging technique, meaning it's performed on a living person) to create images. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • The intended use is for image reconstruction and quality improvement. The description clearly states its purpose is to process CT data to improve image quality, reduce dose, and reduce artifacts.

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

  • . Improved resolution for high contrast edges

Summary of Technical Characteristics of the Subject Device as 6. Compared with the Predicate Device:

ADMIRE reconstruction software do not have significant changes in the indications for use, materials, energy source, or technological characteristics when compared to the predicate device.

The additional/extended algorithm processing steps result in the following improvements in reconstructed image quality for ADMIRE in comparison to the predicate device SAFIRE:

9. General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

The device labeling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warnings, to provide for safe and effective use of the device.

Risk management is ensured via a hazard analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled during development, verification and validation testing. To minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards. Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice and standards.

10. Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence

In summary, Siemens is of the opinion that the ADMIRE does not introduce any new potential safety risk and is substantially equivalent to and performs as well as the predicate devices.
