More Information

No
The document describes image viewing, manipulation, 3D visualization, comparison, and analytical tools, but does not mention AI or ML capabilities.

No
This device is described as a medical diagnostic application for viewing, manipulating, and comparing medical images, and for providing analytical tools to help users assess and document changes. It supports the interpretation and evaluation of findings. There is no mention of it directly providing therapy or treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "syngo.via MI Workflows are medical diagnostic applications." It further emphasizes their role in helping users "assess, and document changes in morphological or functional activity at diagnostic and therapy follow-up examinations."

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 In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). The syngo.via MI Workflows analyze medical images of the human body.
  • The intended use and device description clearly state that the device processes and visualizes medical images from imaging modalities like PET, SPECT, CT, and MR. This is image processing and analysis, not in vitro testing of biological samples.

The device is a medical diagnostic application for image viewing, manipulation, and analysis, which falls under the category of medical imaging software, not IVDs.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

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 (K160426). 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.
