Device Description

syngo.CT Cardiac Planning is an image analysis software package for evaluating contrast enhanced CT images. The software package is designed to support the physician in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of morphology and pathology of vascular and cardiac structures, with the overarching purpose of serving as input for planning of cardiovascular procedures.

syngo.CT Cardiac Planning includes tools that support the clinician at different steps during diagnosis, including reading and reporting. The user has full control of the reported measurements and is able to choose the appropriate function suited for their clinical need. Features included in this software that aid in diagnosis can be grouped in the following categories:

  • Basic reading: commodity features that are commonly available on CT cardiac post-processing workstations.
  • . Advanced reading: additional features for increased user support during CT cardiac post-processing.

The user can operate the application in basic reading mode only, or advanced reading if deemed appropriate for the clinical task.

If results are not as expected by the user (e.g. due to bad image quality caused by image artifacts, such as: noise, pacemaker artifacts, stair steps, wrong contrast timing, etc.), he or she can easily modify the computations or discard them and do a manual diagnosis. The corresponding information will be kept in the reporting object which is stored in the syngo.via database.

As syngo. CT Cardiac Planning is designed for cardiovascular analysis, there are minimal requirements regarding the loaded data. The application requires contrast-enhanced CT data in order to delineate cardiac vasculature and valvular apparatuses, and/or segment the blood pool in the heart chambers properly. If the user loads data without contrast agent, the algorithms will not work properly. Then a clear visual feedback via a message box is provided. There are no further measurements and the algorithm stops the calculation. The user is asked to manually define the location of the annular plane and continue working from there. If that is not possible for the user, only an axial slice-based manual reading of the case can be performed in the application.

AI/ML Overview

Based on the provided text, the "syngo.CT Cardiac Planning" device is a post-processing software application. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (syngo.CT Cardiac Function) rather than presenting a standalone clinical study with detailed acceptance criteria and performance metrics.

Therefore, many of the requested details related to clinical performance, ground truth, multi-reader studies, and specific acceptance criteria for diagnostic accuracy are not explicitly present in this 510(k) summary. The summary emphasizes non-clinical testing, software verification/validation, and comparison of technological characteristics.

Here's an attempt to answer your questions based only on the provided text, highlighting what is available and what is not:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria with specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for a clinical study comparing the device's output against a ground truth. Instead, it states:

"Performance tests were conducted to test the functionality of syngo.CT Cardiac Planning. These tests have been performed to test the ability of the included features of 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."

This indicates functional and technical performance acceptance, but not clinical diagnostic performance criteria.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document mentions "Performance tests were conducted" and "non-clinical as well as bench-level tests have been conducted." It does not specify a sample size for a test set of medical images (i.e., patient cases) used to evaluate the device's clinical performance. It does not mention data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable, as no clinical test set for diagnostic accuracy with expert ground truth is described in the provided text. The document states: "all image data are to be interpreted by trained personnel" and "the trained user has full control on any conducted step during the whole process," implying human oversight and interpretation are still required.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring adjudication is described.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No MRMC study is mentioned. The device is a "post-processing software package designed to support the physician," implying it's a tool for assistance, but no study on human performance improvement with or without the tool is presented.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

The document states: "both subject and predicate devices do neither provide primarily diagnosis nor automated diagnostics interpretation capabilities." This implies it's not a standalone diagnostic algorithm. Its purpose is to "support the physician in the qualitative and quantitative analysis" and serve as "input for planning," so standalone performance in a diagnostic capacity is not presented or claimed.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable, as no clinical performance study requiring external ground truth is described. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical and bench-level tests would be the expected functional outcome of the software or adherence to technical specifications.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. The document describes a "post-processing software application" that "reuses the algorithms and technology as provided in the predicate device." It does not mention Machine Learning (ML) training or a training set. This appears to be a software update or re-design of existing algorithms integrated into a new product, rather than a new AI/ML model requiring a training/validation paradigm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as no training set is mentioned for an ML algorithm.

Performance tests were conducted to test the functionality of syngo.CT Cardiac Planning. These tests have been performed to test the ability of the included features of 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.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

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 is ensured via a hazard analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled during development, verification testing. To minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice and standards.

The following safety aspects are supported by the subject device as well as the predicate device:

  • . both subject and predicate devices are pure post-processing applications
  • There are no direct or indirect patient-contacting components within the scope of the subject device as well as the predicate device
  • both subject and predicate devices have to be used by trained persons only
  • all image data are to be interpreted by trained personnel
  • both subject device and predicate do not pose human beings into direct harms
  • both subject and predicate devices do neither provide primarily diagnosis nor automated diagnostics interpretation capabilities
  • . both subject and predicate devices are supported by the separate platform syngo.via
  • both subject and predicate devices use same algorithms for rendering and measurement
  • the trained user has full control on any conducted step during the whole process

{7}------------------------------------------------

VIII. Conclusions

syngo.CT Cardiac Planning has the same intended use and similar indication for use as the predicate device. The technological characteristics such as image visualization, measurement, operating platform, and image manipulation are the same as the predicate device. The result of all testing conducted was found acceptable to support the claim of substantial equivalence. The predicate device was cleared based on non-clinical supportive information. The results of these tests demonstrate that the predicate device is 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 Cardiac Planning, 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 Cardiac Planning testing supports a finding of substantial equivalence.
