No
The description focuses on standard image processing and visualization tools, with manual user interaction for tasks like outlining the mandibular canal. There is no mention of automated analysis, learning, or any terms associated with AI/ML.
No.
This device is post-processing image analysis software, not a therapeutic device. It helps with visualization and analysis for pre-surgical planning but does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.
No
The device is image analysis software for post-processing CT volume datasets to facilitate viewing and manual identification/marking of dental anatomy and pathologies, primarily for pre-surgical planning. It does not state that it provides a diagnosis or makes diagnostic decisions. The intended use focuses on visualization and measurement tools rather than diagnostic claims.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as "post processing image analysis software" and "image processing tools" for CT volume data sets. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the device itself.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device function: The description clearly states that syngo.CT Dental is "post processing image analysis software for CT volume data sets". It works with medical images acquired from a CT scanner, which is an in vivo (within the living body) imaging modality.
- Lack of biological sample analysis: There is no mention of the software analyzing any biological samples. Its function is solely focused on manipulating and visualizing medical images.
Therefore, syngo.CT Dental falls under the category of medical imaging software, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Syngo.CT Dental is post processing image analysis software for CT volume data sets that has been acquired continuously with computed tomography (CT) systems. The software provides the following digital image processing and visualization tools:
- Basic reading tools: Multiplanar Reconstruction (MPR), Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP), Volume Rendering Technique (VRT), Minimal Intensity Projection (MinIP)
- Basic geometric measurement tools: distance line, polyline, marker, arrow, angle
- Basic HU measurement tools: Pixel lens, ROI Circle, ROI freehand, VOI sphere, VOI freehand
- Dedicated dental visualization tools: Dental panoramic views (curved MPRs) and dental paraxial views (cross-section MPRs) that are calculated based on a manually defined centerline.
- A tool to manually outline the mandibular canal.
- A tool that allows paraxial and panoramic result images to be saved as dental range series.
- True Size (1:1) printing of panoramic and paraxial images to allow anatomy to be printed in its actual size on the film sheet.
The specific visualization of panoramic and paraxial views of the dental structures facilitates viewing, manual identification, and marking of dental pathologies and anatomy (for example, the position of the mandibular canal that needs to be preserved during dental interventions, such as dental (implant) surgery). Reporting and documentation of results is facilitated by the creation of ranges and snapshots, True Size (1:1) printing on DICOM printers, and by the use of a reporting tool.

Verification and Validation
This submission contains performance data to demonstrate continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software. Integration and functional tests were conducted for syngo.CT Dental during product development.
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. The test results show that all of the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria.
The risk analysis was completed and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The testing results support that all of 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.
Siemens conforms to the Cybersecurity requirements by implementing a process of preventing unauthorized access, modifications, misuse or denial of use, or the unauthorized use of information that is stored, accessed, or transferred from a medical device to an external recipient. It is the hospital's responsibility to comply with IEC 8001-1-2010.
Summary
Performance tests were conducted to test the functionality of the subject device, syngo.CT Dental. Results of all conducted testing were found acceptable in supporting the claim of substantial equivalence.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns: 9.
SIEMENS
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.
Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence 10.
The modifications made to the predicate device add basic reading and viewing functionality. There is no new clinical functionality.
The predicate device was cleared based on non-clinical supportive information. The subject device non-clinical data supports the safety of the software with verification and validation testing. Verification and validation testing demonstrates that syngo.CT Dental performs as intended. The non-clinical test data demonstrates that syngo.CT Dental device performance is comparable to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
In summary, Siemens is of the opinion that the syngo.CT Dental does not introduce any new potential safety risk and is substantially equivalent to and performs as well as the predicate devices.
