AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them for the SOMATOM X.cite CT system and its associated Scan&GO mobile application.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" alongside specific "reported device performance" values in a quantitative format for the entire device. Instead, it describes various tests performed and states that the tests "meet the pre-determined acceptance criteria" and "all of the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria."

However, specific performance aspects are mentioned:

Acceptance Criterion (Inferred from Testing)Reported Device Performance (Summary)
General
Functionality and Integration"The general purpose of each tests is to verify and validate the functionality of the subject device modifications." "Testing supports that all software specifications have met the acceptance criteria."
Safety and Effectiveness"The non-clinical data supports the safety of the device and software verification and validation demonstrates that the subject device SOMATOM X.cite should perform as intended in the specified use conditions." "All test performed meet the pre-determined acceptance criteria and demonstrate that Scan&GO is safe and effective for the intended use."
Substantial Equivalence"The data included in this submission demonstrates that the SOMATOM X.cite performs comparably to the predicate devices currently marketed for the same intended use." "Testing and validation is completed. Test results show that the subject device SOMATOM X.cite, is comparable to the predicate devices SOMATOM go.Top (K173632) and SOMATOM Force (K190578) in terms of technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness and therefore are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
Specific Features (Non-Clinical Bench Tests)
kV and Filter independent CaScore"The test results show that performance of special kernel variants Artifical120 and eDDensity and mDDensity is similar or improved within the limits of accuracy of the test com-pared to the respective initial release versions."
Recon&GO - Spectral Recon"Deviations between the already cleared image processing algorithms in Inline DE and the new technical realization "Spectral Recon" are extremely small and are not expected to have any impact on the diagnostic performance. Residual deviations are a consequence of rounding differences and slight differences in implementation."
TwinSpiral Dual Energy / TwinSpiral DE"Based on these results it can be stated that the TwinSpiral Dual Energy CT scan mode provides CT-images of diagnostic quality, which are similar to conventional 120kV images in terms of CT-values and image noise at same radiation dose. The mixed images show a slight reduction in the iodine CT-value, but at the same time image noise at same dose is also lower. So in combination the iodine CNR at same radiation dose is comparable between Mixed images and 120kV images."
Flex 4D Spiral - Neuro/Body"Scan ranges with the new Flex4D Spiral feature can be freely selected within the limits mandated by the scan mode and protocol. The scanned volume was found to be in agreement with the planned scan range for a variety of different tested scan modes, scan lengths and scanners... the irradiated range markers displayed by the scanner acquisition software during the planning of the respective F4DS scans were in good agreement with the exposed area on the film."
DirectDensity"The conducted test performed demonstrated the subject device's ability to show relative mass or relative electron density images."
HD FoV"Phantom testing conducted to assess the subject device ability to provide visualization of anatomies outside the standard field of view and that the image quality standards for radiotherapy applications are met."
Contrast media protocol"Selected Factory Contrast Protocols are within the limits as prescribed by the approved labeling of Ultravist®."
InjectorCoupling"Correctness of the contrast injection parameters transferred between the CT device and the supported injection devices has been verified."
FAST Integrated WorkflowFAST Isocentering: "Conducted test for the subject device FAST Isocentering demonstrated that there was a lower isocenter deviation for the subject device in comparison to the predicate device." FAST Range: "Conducted test demonstrated that a lower deviation for landmark boundaries for the subject device in comparison to the predicate device."
Electrical Safety & EMCCompliance with standards: 60601-2-44, 60601-1-2, NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20, NEMA XR-25, NEMA XR-28, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, ANSI AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62366-1, IEC 60825-1, IEC 60601-2-44, IEC 60601-1-3, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 61223-2-6, IEC 61223-3-5, IEC 60601-2-28, IEC 62563-1.
Wireless Coexistence"Siemens has considered several measures to address wireless coexistence by design... Tested for Co-Channel, Adjacent Channel, RF Interference, and Separation Distance/Location, ensuring wireless communications were actively transmitting in situations where possible interference may exist." "Scan&GO does not support shared medium access to Siemens Wi-Fi network."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document details various types of testing, but it does not provide specific sample sizes (e.g., number of patients/cases) for the test sets.

  • Test Sets:

    • Non-Clinical Testing: Includes "phantom tests" and "bench tests" (Table S07). No specific sample sizes (number of phantoms or tests) are mentioned for these.
    • Customer Use Testing:
      • Internal Clinical Use Test: "The CT scanner customer environment is simulated in Siemens Test Cabins." Customers with clinical expertise are invited to perform tests. No sample size is provided.
      • External Clinical Use Test: "The CT scanner is tested in the environment of the clinic/hospital." Performed with "selected customer before rollout." No sample size is provided.
    • NLST (National Lung Screening Trial) Reference: This is cited as supportive data for the lung cancer screening indication, but the device was not tested in this trial. The NLST itself involved over 53,000 subjects.
  • Data Provenance:

    • The testing described is primarily prospective system and software verification and validation conducted by Siemens.
    • Country of Origin of Data: Not explicitly stated for Siemens' internal testing, but the manufacturing sites are listed as Forchheim, Germany, and Shanghai, China, suggesting the testing would likely occur in association with these locations or corporate R&D facilities.
    • The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) (referenced for lung cancer screening indication) was conducted in the United States and spanned from 2002 to 2010.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

  • For Siemens Internal/External Clinical Use Tests: The document mentions "customers with clinical expertise" for internal testing and "selected customer" [sic] for external testing. However, it does not specify the number of experts or their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") used to establish ground truth for these tests. The nature of these tests appears to be more about workflow and functionality validation rather than diagnostic performance against a definitive ground truth.
  • For the NLST (referenced for lung cancer screening): The NLST used a rigorous process for establishing ground truth, typically involving expert radiologists and follow-up pathology for confirmed malignancies. However, this study was performed independently and not specifically to test the SOMATOM X.cite device. The FDA's reference to NLST is for the clinical literature supporting the indication for use, not for the device's performance validation itself.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1 consensus) for establishing ground truth within Siemens' own device performance testing. The clinical use tests described seem to focus on user workflow and system integration rather than diagnostic accuracy requiring multi-reader adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Its Effect Size of Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

  • No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done or described in this document. The device is a CT scanner, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for interpretation.
  • The document describes the CT system's ability to generate images for aid in diagnosis, but it does not include a study on how human readers' performance (e.g., diagnostic accuracy, reading time) improves with the SOMATOM X.cite specifically.
  • The only reference to an "AI" type feature is "Artificial120" (a kernel for CaScore) and "ADMIRE" (an iterative reconstruction method), but these are features of image processing, not direct AI assistance for human interpretation.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • The testing described is for a physical medical device (CT scanner) and its associated software, not a standalone algorithm.
  • The "non-clinical testing" and "bench tests" evaluate the functional and image quality performance of the CT system's hardware and software components in isolation or simulated environments, which could be considered analogous to "standalone" performance for individual features (e.g., the accuracy of DirectDensity™ or Recon&GO), but not for a diagnostic algorithm in a clinical context.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

Based on the descriptions:

  • Bench/Phantom Tests: Ground truth is established by physical phantoms with known properties (e.g., known densities, dimensions, material compositions) and comparisons to established measurements or control values.
  • Software Verification & Validation: Ground truth is established by software specifications and requirements, and testing verifies that the software functions as designed and meets these predefined criteria.
  • Clinical Use Tests: Ground truth appears to be based on successful workflow completion and user feedback rather than a definitive diagnostic truth for patient cases.
  • NLST (reference only): For the lung cancer screening claim, the underlying clinical evidence (NLST) established ground truth through longitudinal follow-up and pathology for confirmed lung cancers. This is external literature, not part of the device's direct performance study.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • This document is for a CT scanner system (hardware and software), not specifically for a machine learning or AI model that requires a dedicated "training set."
  • Therefore, no information on the sample size for a training set is provided or applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission. Iterative reconstruction methods (like ADMIRE) are often developed using traditional signal processing and physics-based models, and while some may incorporate statistical or adaptive elements, they aren't typically described with "training sets" in the same way as deep learning AI.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • As a "training set" for an AI or machine learning model is not discussed, this question is not applicable based on the provided document.

Additional evaluation tests are performed as bench test to support the new device modification on Non-Clinical Performance Testing as listed in table S07 below.

Table S07: Non-Clinical Performance Testing

{14}------------------------------------------------

#Feature/Non-Clinical Supportive TestingDocument TitleTesting Performed
01kV and Filter independent CaScoreEvaluation of DirectDensity and Artificial120 kernels on Somaris/10 VA30The test results show that performance of special kernel variants Artifical120 and eDDensity and mDDensity is similar or improved within the limits of accuracy of the test com-pared to the respective initial release versions. In conclusion, the features DirectDensity and Calcium Scoring at any kV have been enabled for the release SOMARIS/10 VA30.
02Recon&GO - Spectral ReconDetailed Description and Bench Test for the Feature "Spectral Recon"Deviations between the already cleared image processing algorithms in Inline DE and the new technical realization "Spectral Recon" are extremely small and are not expected to have any impact on the diagnostic performance. Residual deviations are a consequence of rounding differences and slight differences in implementation.
03TwinSpiral Dual Energy / TwinSpiral DEDetailed Description and Bench Testfor the Feature "TwinSpiral"Based on these results it can be stated that the TwinSpiral Dual Energy CT scan mode provides CT-images of diagnostic quality, which are similar to conventional 120kV images in terms of CT-values and image noise at same radiation dose. The mixed images show a slight reduction in the iodine CT-value, but at the same time image noise at same dose is also lower. So in combination the iodine CNR at same radiation dose is comparable between Mixed images and 120kV images.
04Flex 4D Spiral - Neuro/BodyFlex4D Spiral: Technical principals and demonstration of freely selectable scan ranges (Somaris/10 VA30)Scan ranges with the new Flex4D Spiral feature can be freely selected within the limits mandated by the scan mode and protocol. The scanned volume was found to be in agreement with the planned scan range for a variety of different tested scan modes, scan lengths and scanners.Radiochromic film placed in the isocenter for a variety of scan ranges showed that the irradiated range markers displayed by the scanner acquisition software during the planning of the respective F4DS scans were in good agreement with the exposed area on the film.
05DirectDensityEvaluation of DirectDensity and Artificial120 kernels on Somaris/10 VA30Evaluation of phantom images to demonstrate the subject device features ability to provide images that can be shown as relative mass density or relative electron density. The conducted test performed demonstrated the subject device's ability to show relative mass or relative electron density images.

Cybersecurity information in accordance with guidance document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity Medical Devices issues on October 2, 2014" is included within this submission.

{18}------------------------------------------------

Additionally, Siemens conforms to the requirements for Radio Frequency Wireless Technology as defined in FDA guidance document "Radio Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, issued on August 14, 2013'' by adhering to the EMC and risk based verification and validation requirements in design, testing, and labeling of the wireless remote control components of the subject devices.

The Radio Frequency Wireless Technology of the optional Remote Scan Control and supporting Control Device tablet for Scan&GO complies to 47 CFR part 15 subpart c – Intentional Radiators. All Radio device labels will show an FCC ID code to show compliance. Shielding requirement applicable to the CT Scanners and respective Scatter Radiation diagrams for typical room installations are provided in the User Documentation and Planning Guide of the intended Scanners in accordance to IEC60601-2-44.

Wireless Coexistence Testing

Siemens has considered several measures to address wireless coexistence by design to ensure the safe operation of the wireless components in combination with the applicable system supported functionality. Wireless technology in the system setup to perform a task in a given shared environment where other systems have an ability to perform their tasks and may or may not be using the same set of rules has been considered. According to FDA guidance 'Radio Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices' Siemens has addressed the safety, effectiveness, and high likelihood of coexistence with other devices of this technology in our product design by our Risk Management Process, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Process, and Requirement Engineering Process. As part of the risk management process, hazardous situations associated with the Scan&GO and its connection to the host system via Wi-Fi were addressed as part of the Risk Management process.

Testing for co-existence considered for following scenarios:

  • Co-Channel Testing
  • Adjacent Channel Testing ●
  • RF Interference Testing
  • . Separation Distance/Location Testing

Scan&GO is designed to allow dynamic frequency selection and transmission power control by default in accordance with IEEE 802.11h, Wireless LAN. Adjacent channel testing is addressed by the fact that Scan&GO does not support shared medium access to Siemens Wi-Fi network. RF interference was tested by successfully ensuring that wireless communications were actively transmitting in situations where possible interference may exist. Recommended distance and router locations requirements are documented in the user documentation.

Customer Use Testing

The following clinical use testing was conducted to demonstrate Scan&GO's performance in the intended clinical environment:

  • Internal Clinical Use Test: The CT scanner customer environment is simulated in Siemens Test Cabins. For such a test, customers with clinical expertise are typically invited to perform tests.
  • External Clinical Use Test: The CT scanner is tested in the environment of the clinic/hospital. Typically we perform these tests with selected customer before rollout of the CT scanner.

All test performed meet the pre-determined acceptance criteria and demonstrate that Scan&GO is safe and effective for the intended use. Multiple tablet for visualization purpose, using same Scan&GO installation and feature configuration does not change the intended use.

Additional Supportive Data

The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, is used to support the additional lung cancer screening Indications for Use. The study was a randomized trial of screening with the use of low-dose CT compared to chest radiography to determine whether screening with low-dose CT could reduce mortality from lung cancer. The study start date was August, 2002 and the completion date was October, 2010. The interpretation task with CT for this study was to detect lung nodules of 4mm diameter or greater.

General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns

The device labeling contains instructions for use as well as necessary cautions and warnings to provide for safe and effective use of the device. Risk management is ensured via a system related Risk analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled during development, verification and validation testing according to the Risk Management process. In order to minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice and standards.

VIII. Conclusions

The predicate devices were cleared based on the results of non-clinical testing including verification and validation, phantom tests, and supportive literature. The subject device is also tested using the same methods as used for the predicate devices. The non-clinical data supports the safety of the device and software verification and validation demonstrates that the subject device SOMATOM X.cite should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The data included in this submission demonstrates that the SOMATOM X.cite performs comparably to the predicate devices currently marketed for the same intended use. Since all predicate devices were tested using the same methods, Siemens believes that the data generated from the SOMATOM X.cite testing supports substantial equivalence.
