More Information

No
The document describes image viewing, manipulation, visualization, and comparison tools with some automated features like reorientation and calculation of Lung CAD results, but it does not explicitly mention or describe the use of AI or ML algorithms for these functions. The focus is on workflow enhancement and visualization, not on learning or adaptive capabilities.

No.
The device is described as a "medical diagnostic application" for viewing, manipulating, and comparing medical images, and for providing analytical tools to help assess and document changes in morphological or functional activity. Its intended use is for interpretation, evaluation, and follow-up documentation of findings. It does not actively treat or directly affect the patient's body to cure or alleviate a disease, injury, or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "syngo.via MI Workflows are medical diagnostic applications" and provide "analytical tools to help the user assess, and document changes in morphological or functional activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations." The "Device Description" also reiterates that it is a "medical diagnostic application."

Yes

The device description explicitly states "The syngo.via MI Workflows are software only medical devices".

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The syngo.via MI Workflows are described as software for viewing, manipulating, and analyzing medical images from various imaging modalities (PET, SPECT, CT, MR). It helps in the interpretation and evaluation of these images for diagnostic and follow-up purposes.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not perform any analysis on biological samples. Its input is medical imaging data.

Therefore, while it is a medical diagnostic device, it falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Technological Characteristics

The syngo.via MI Workflows VB10A software modifications are based on the commercially available syngo.via VA30A software (K133644). The features introduced into syngo.via VB10A had no impact on the technological characteristics already present in the commercially available predicate system.

syngo.via MI Workflows is intended to be run on the Siemens syngo.via software platform (K150843) either alone or with other advanced commercially cleared applications.

Performance Testing / Safety and Effectiveness

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 has been ensured via risk analyses in compliance with ISO 14971:2012 to identify and provide mitigation to potential hazards beginning early in the design cycle and continuing throughout the development of the product. Siemens Medical Solutions, USA Inc. adheres to recognized and established industry standards for development including ISO 13485 and IEC 62304.

Verification and Validation activities have been successfully performed on the software packaqe, including assurance that functions work as designed, performance requirements and specifications have been met, and that all hazard mitigations have been fully implemented. All testing has met the predetermined acceptance values. Traceability of the requirements specified in the requirement specifications and functional specifications is ensured during component integration, software validation and system testing.

The device is designed and manufactured in accordance with Quality System Requlations as outlined in 21 CFR 820.

Indications for Use

syngo.via MI Workflows are medical diagnostic applications for viewing, manipulation, 3Dvisualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaqinq modalities and/or multiple time-points. The application supports functional data, such as PET or SPECT as well as anatomical datasets, such as CT or MR.

syngo.via MI Workflows enable visualization of information that would otherwise have to be visually compared disjointedly. synqo.via MI Workflows provide analytical tools to help the user assess, and document changes in morphological or functional activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations. syngo.via MI Workflows can perform harmonization of SUV (PET) across different PET systems or different reconstruction methods.

syngo.via MI Workflows support the interpretation and evaluation of examinations and follow up documentation of findings within healthcare institutions, for example, in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology environments.

Note: The clinician retains the ultimate responsibility for making the pertinent diagnosis based on their standard practices and visual comparison of the separate unreqistered images. syngo.via MI Workflows are a complement to these standard procedures.

Statement Regarding Substantial Equivalence:

There are no differences in the Indications for Use or Fundamental Technological Characteristics of the syngo.via MI Workflows as compared to the currently commercially available software (K133644). Both devices are used for viewing, manipulation, 3Dvisualization and comparison of medical images from multiple imaging modalities and/or multiple time-points

Additionally, there have been no changes that raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. Based on this information, as well as the documentation in support of the modifications, it is Siemens opinion that the syngo.via MI Workflows software with the modifications outlined in this application is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
