More Information

Not Found

Yes
The summary mentions an "algorithm" for "syngo Embolization Guidance" with performance metrics like "automatic detection rate" and "rate of the missed vessels," which are indicative of an AI/ML-based approach for image analysis and guidance.

No
The device is described as medical diagnostic software used for viewing, processing, and storing medical images, and to assist physicians in diagnosis and treatment control, rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The syngo Application Software is a medical software for real-time viewing, image manipulation, communication, and storage of medical images and data on exchange media. It is used for diagnostic image viewing and post processing..." and later mentions options "intended to assist the physician in diagnosis, treatment control." The "Device Description" also refers to it as "medical diagnostic software."

No

The device description explicitly states that the software "may be installed either on Siemens released PC hardware, on Siemens X-ray systems or on Siemens Angiography Systems." This indicates that the software is intended to be used in conjunction with specific hardware components, making it a hardware-software combination device, not a software-only medical device.

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 syngo Application Software is described as medical software for viewing, manipulating, communicating, and storing medical images and data. It is used for diagnostic image viewing, post-processing, and image-guided procedures.
  • Input Data: The input data for this software comes from imaging modalities like digital radiographic, fluoroscopic, interventional, and angiographic systems, as well as Cone-beam CT and MDCT. These are imaging techniques, not samples taken from the body for in vitro analysis.
  • Intended Use: The intended use focuses on assisting physicians in diagnosis, treatment control, and image-guided procedures based on medical images.

The software processes and analyzes medical images, which is distinct from performing tests on biological samples. Therefore, it falls under the category of medical imaging software or image processing software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

No
The input explicitly states "Control Plan Authorized (PCCP) and relevant text: Not Found," indicating no mention of PCCP authorization.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

  2. syngo Embolization Guidance automatically computes a vessel tree starting at a distinct catheter position and comprising vessel branches that feed a user defined lesion.
  3. syngo Embolization Guidance visualizes the vessels in different colors. The more proximal vessel has a predefined color. Advancing distal in the computed vessel tree, the vessel branches leaving the first bifurcation have other predefined colors.
  4. syngo Embolization Guidance allows the user to define and mark a lesion by means of a sphere. The sphere is created by simply drawing a line in a planar image (MPR or MIP) by which the position and diameter of the sphere is defined – a safety margin can be configured.
  5. syngo Embolization Guidance allows the user to add or remove vessels from the automatically computed vessel tree by selecting the respective vessel branch in a MPR or thin MIP visualization of a 3D dataset.
  6. syngo Embolization Guidance allows to mark lesions and automatically compute the tree of feeding vessels based on contrast-enhanced Cone-beam CT (e.g. syngo DynaCT) and MDCT datasets.
  7. To mark a lesion in the liver syngo Embolization Guidance needs just one user input.
  8. syngo Embolization Guidance can be easily operated from table-side. There is no need to break scrubs and leave the interventional room.
  9. The 3D planning data from syngo Embolization Guidance can help the physician to manually define the radiation free projection for device navigation and hence has the potential to reduce the overall radiation dose* of the intervention".

9. General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

SIEMENS

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.

Risk management is ensured via a hazard analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled via software development, verification and validation testing. To minimize electrical hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice, and all equipment is subject to final performance testing. Furthermore the operators are health care professionals familiar with and responsible for the evaluating and post processing of medical images.

10. Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence:

The predicate device was cleared based on non-clinical supportive information and clinical images and data. Similar non-clinical test results demonstrate that syngo Application Software acceptance criteria are adequate for the intended use of the device. The comparison of technological characteristic, non-clinical performance data, clinical images, and software validation data demonstrates that the subject device is as safe, and effective when compared to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
