No
The summary describes advanced visualization and post-processing tools for CT images, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or automated decision-making based on learned patterns. The functionality appears to be based on user-selected tools and predefined measurements.
No
The device is intended for diagnostic purposes (advanced visualization and analysis of medical images for diagnosis), not for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device provides "advanced visualization tools to prepare and process medical images for diagnostic purpose" and that "Result images created with the syngo.CT Extended Functionality software package can be used to assist trained technicians or physicians in diagnosis."
Yes
The device description explicitly states that "syngo.CT Extended Functionality is a software bundle" and that it "is designed to operate on a syngo compatible host system". It processes images acquired by a separate CT scanner and does not include any hardware components itself.
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 detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that syngo.CT Extended Functionality is a software package that processes and visualizes medical images acquired by CT scanners. It works with existing image data, not biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "advanced visualization tools to prepare and process medical images for diagnostic purpose," and to "support technicians and physicians in qualitative and quantitative measurements and in the analysis of clinical data that was acquired and reconstructed by Computed Tomography (CT) scanners." This is image processing and analysis, not in vitro testing.
- Input Data: The input data is explicitly stated as "clinical data that was acquired and reconstructed by Computed Tomography (CT) scanners." This is image data, not biological samples.
Therefore, syngo.CT Extended Functionality falls under the category of medical image processing and analysis software, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
syngo.CT Extended Functionality is a software bundle consisting of previously cleared unmodified and modified post-processing applications that offer tools to support special clinical evaluations. syngo.CT Extended Functionality can be used to create advanced visualizations and measurements on clinical data that was acquired and reconstructed by Computed Tomography (CT) scanners.
Depending on the clinical question, the user can select functionality which supports the explicit clinical fields as listed below. The syngo.CT Extended Functionality software package is designed to operate on the most recent version syngo-compatible postprocessing platform, which currently supports the following four tools:
-
- Preparation of Vascular Case for Reading Physician
-
- Preparation of Oncology Case for Reading Physician
-
- Preparation of Osteo Case for Reading Physician
-
- Preparation of Neuro DSA Bone Subtraction for Reading Physician
The supported functionality can be used on any CT data if basic requirements are met (e.g. spiral or sequence scan, reconstruction kernel). The supported functionality will check to ensure the basic requirements are met and will not allow its execution or will provide a warning or info message to the user if appropriate. This check also allows combination of functionality of different clinical fields, (e.q. a vascular case can be prepared also on Neuro DSA bone subtracted data or on the same case as Lung CAD computation, etc.). Afterwards, any tool can be accessed as long as the data and viewing type allows it. For example, an evaluation of a ROI defined by a contour and two HU thresholds can be used to measure a certain area. No specific sequential workflow is required.
The original clinical data that was acquired and reconstructed by Computed Tomography (CT) scanners will not be modified in any form. The results of the syngo.CT Extended Functionality can be stored as additional DICOM images if needed as kev images or range or images. The subject device syngo.CT Extended Functionality is designed to operate on a syngo compatible host system (e. g. syngo.via VB20 software platform or higher).

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical tests (integration and functional) were conducted for syngo.CT Extended Functionality during product development. The modifications described in this Premarket Notification were supported with verification/validation testing. Verification testing for the Osteo feature was conducted to demonstrate successful software integration and performance in accordance to Siemens internal procedure which includes risk identification and mitigation in accordance with ISO 14971. All verification and validation testing has been completed and meets Siemens acceptance criteria. Additionally, all risks for the complete subject device have been identified and mitigated in accordingly.
Performance tests were conducted to test the functionality of the synqo.CT Extended Functionality. These tests have been performed to test the ability of the included features of the subject device. The results of these tests demonstrate that the subject device performs as intended. The result of all conducted testing was found acceptable to support the claim of substantial equivalence.

VIII. Conclusions
This subject device combines four advanced visualization and measurement tools into one software bundle package. The fundamental software technology which is provided within the scope of the advanced tools is already cleared and remains unchanged in comparison to the predicate devices. The Indications for Use for the subject device has been adapted to provide a more specific description of the syngo.CT Extended Functionality realized as software package including a software bundle that consists of previously cleared post-processing software applications. The conducted modifications described in this Premarket Notification were supported with verification and validation testing. The Risk analysis was completed and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards.
The predicate devices were cleared based on non-clinical supportive information. The results of these tests demonstrate that the predicate devices are adequate for the intended use. The comparison of technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data, and software validation 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. For the subject device, syngo.CT Extended Functionality, Siemens used the same testing with the same workflows as used to clear the predicate device. Since both devices were tested using the same methods, Siemens believes that the data generated from the syngo.CT Extended Functionality testing supports a finding of substantial equivalence.
