Intended Use
ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software. The end user can choose to apply either ADMIRE or the weighted filter back-projection (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 is equivalent or improved and pixel noise is 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
ADMIRE is an iterative reconstruction option designed to be used on Siemens currently marketed and future CT devices. Its use has been previously cleared by FDA (K133646, clearance date June 20, 2014). No modifications were made to the algorithm or to the implementation of the feature.

No
The description focuses on iterative reconstruction techniques and model observer studies, which are traditional image processing and evaluation methods, not AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or training data.

No.
Explanation: ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software that aids in improving image quality and reducing radiation dose. It does not directly provide therapy or treatment to a patient.

No

ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software that processes raw data to produce images with improved quality and reduced radiation dose. It does not directly provide a diagnosis; rather, it enhances the images that a healthcare professional would then use for diagnostic purposes.

Yes

The device is described as "CT reconstruction software" and its function is to process raw CT data. While it is intended to be used on Siemens CT devices, the submission focuses solely on the software algorithm and its performance characteristics, with no mention of hardware components or modifications.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • ADMIRE's Function: ADMIRE is a software that processes raw data acquired from a CT scanner to reconstruct images. It manipulates the image data itself, not biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software used to process imaging data. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, ADMIRE falls under the category of medical imaging software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Non clinical tests were conducted for ADMIRE software package during product development. The dose savings potential of ADMIRE was determined based on evaluations of low-contrast detectability (LCD) in reconstructed images of the PhantomLabs® CCT189 and CCT191 phantoms using model observer studies. Using the same reconstructed images, image noise was determined by computing the standard deviation across images at all pixel locations. Both computer-simulated as well as measured CT data was utilized for these tasks to facilitate the generation of a large number of CT images at different dose levels for a thorough evaluation. The assessment of high-contrast spatial resolution was based on measured CT data of a Teflon edge phantom as defined by the ImPACT CT evaluation group.

Its use has been previously cleared by FDA (K133646, clearance date June 20, 2014). No modifications were made to the algorithm or to the implementation of the feature. The changes proposed within this 510(k) only pertain to an extension of the claims associated with the feature as follows:

Furthermore, the following claims have previously been cleared by FDA as part of K133646 (clearance date June 20, 2014) and will be maintained with this clearance:

    1. Additionally, ADMIRE
    • compared to SAFIRE potentially features a more "FBP-like" noise texture in . terms of the number of "outliers" in the noise texture, especially for higher strength settings of the algorithm and
    • can reduce spiral artifacts by using iterations going back and forth between image 0 space and raw data space and

Equivalent low contrast detectability can be achieved with 80% to 85% less dose using ADMIRE at highest strength level for thin (0.6 mm) reconstruction slices in measured and simulated body and head phantoms for low contrast objects with different contrasts. See ADMIRE data sheet for further information.

In clinical practice, the use of ADMIRE may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location, and clinical practice. A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.

5. Intended Use

ADMIRE is a CT reconstruction software. The end user can choose to apply either ADMIRE or the weighted filter back-projection (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.

Substantial Equivalence: 6.

Siemens ADMIRE SW package with new claims is substantially equivalent to the following medical device in commercial distribution

| Predicate Device Name | FDA Clearance Number | FDA Clearance
Date |
|-----------------------|----------------------|-----------------------|
| ADMIRE | K133646 | 06/20/2014 |

Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Principal Device as Compared with 7. the Predicate Device

ADMIRE is an iterative reconstruction option that may be utilized with all CT scanners offered by Siemens and its use has been previously cleared by FDA (K133646, clearance date June 20, 2014).

No modifications were made to the algorithm or to the implementation of the feature. The changes proposed within this 510(k) only pertain to an extension of the claims associated with the feature.

The intended use and fundamental scientific technology are identical to the predicate devices; therefore Siemens believes that they are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

8. Verification and Validation

Non clinical tests were conducted for ADMIRE software package during product development. The dose savings potential of ADMIRE was determined based on evaluations of low-contrast detectability (LCD) in reconstructed images of the PhantomLabs® CCT189 and CCT191 phantoms using model observer studies. Using the same reconstructed images, image noise was determined by computing the standard deviation across images at all pixel locations. Both computer-simulated as well as measured CT data was utilized for these tasks to facilitate the generation of a large number of CT images at different dose levels for a thorough evaluation. The assessment of high-contrast spatial resolution was based on measured CT data of a Teflon edge phantom as defined by the ImPACT CT evaluation group.

No new risks were identified for ADMIRE with quantitative dose reduction claims. The testing results support that all 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 and the claims presented in the Device Description above.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns 9.

Instructions for use are included within the device labeling, and the information provided will enable the user to operate the device in a safe and effective manner. No instructions for use have changed with respect to the predicate device.

Furthermore, the operators are health care professionals familiar with and responsible for the Xray examinations to be performed. To minimize electrical, mechanical and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice, and all equipment is subject to final performance testing.

Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence 10.

Siemens Computed Tomography X-ray systems, configured with SOMARIS software including ADMIRE are intended for the same indications for use as the predicate device. Further, the additional claims do not introduce new or changed technological characteristics and the data included supports these claims. Thus, a determination of substantial equivalence is warranted.
