The document describes standard CT image reconstruction and processing techniques, and while it mentions the ability to run optional post-processing applications, it does not explicitly state or imply the use of AI/ML within the core device functionality or the described optional applications. There is no mention of AI, DNN, or ML in the text.
No
This device is a diagnostic imaging system (CT scanner) used to generate images for aid in diagnosis and treatment preparation, not to directly treat a condition.
Yes
The device generates images that "can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis," directly indicating its role in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of a Computed Tomography (CT) Scanner System, which includes hardware components like a tube-detector system and a computer system, in addition to software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description clearly states that this is a Computed Tomography (CT) system that generates images by using X-ray transmission data from within the patient's body. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The intended use is for generating and processing images for diagnosis. While the images are used as an aid in diagnosis, the device itself is an imaging system, not a test performed on a specimen.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

designed to provide a plugin interface to integrate potential advanced post processing tasks, tools, or extendable functionalities.
As with the primary predicate device, the SOMATOM On. Scanners will be available in a 32 row, 32 slice configuration.
Indications for Use
This computed tomography system is intended to generate and process cross-sectional images by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data within a 25cm field-of-view, primarily for the head and neck.
The images delivered by SOMATOM On.site and On.scene can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The SOMATOM On.site and On.scene scanners provide the same technological characteristics in terms of materials, energy source, and control mechanisms when compared to the predicate devices. The software and hardware components of this scanner have been modified or improved in comparison to the predicate devices to support enhanced device functionality and to reduce the potential for scattered radiation.
The SOMATOM On Scanners are similar to the CereTom mobile CT scanner (Neurologica, K051765) which is the primary predicate, and the Go.Platform CT scanners (Siemens K192061). Different features of the two systems are incorporated into the SOMATOM On platform:
- . CereTom mobile CT Scanner (Neurologica K051765) - Primary predicate Similar to the SOMATOM On scanners that are the subject of this application, the CereTom CT scanner is a mobile scanner with a similar bore size that is used in the same manner as to the SOMATOM On scanners.
- SOMATOM Go. Platform Scanners (Siemens K192061) - Predicate Siemens is incorporating multiple features of the Siemens SOMATOM Go scanners into the SOMATOM On platform, including the software that runs the CT Systems, as well as the Gantry rotation mechanics and tablet based touch screen.
The intended use and fundamental scientific technology for the SOMATOM On. remains unchanged from the predicate devices.
The hardware components of the subject device have been modified as compared to the predicate devices to include:
- . a gantry translation system
- . a Control Device (Scan&GO) user interface (e.g. user interface via mobile tablet software application),
- modified gantry mechanics, and
- an optional motorized base.
6
- Hybrid air / water X-Ray tube cooling system ●
- 3kW maximum power Generator
- Gantry mounts at stretcher height in mobile stroke unit
- Method for "complete-angle" shielding of scattered x-ray radiation
- Pre-aligned patient holder attached to scanner system (to reduce human-error in patient alignment resulting in poor scan quality)
- Telescopic gantry design to provide no movement of patient vs scanner during the scan sequence.
The software is based on the commercially available SOMARIS/10 syngo CT VA30A software (K192061). The syngo CT VA35A software supports features that are designed to adapt to a mobile workflow and accommodate the scanner specific hardware/reconstruction.
Any differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Siemens believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Testing and validation have been provided. Test results show that the subject device, the SOMATOM On., is comparable to the predicate devices in terms of technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness, and therefore are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Testing provided and described below support marketing claims associated with the following:
- . Point of care imaging benefits, including reducing in-house transports of ICU patients, faster access to neuro CT imaging for immobile patients,
- Telescopic gantry design benefits for scatter radiation reduction
- Radiation safety and protection, including enabling "apron free scanning" when used with both radiation shields employed
- . lmage quality, including low image noise and quality consistent with SOMATOM CT scanners
- Streamline of the workflow and allowing physicians to determine appropriate facility for transfer when used in ambulatory situations
- . Usability claims, including those associated with the Graphical User Interface, patient positioning, single operator system handling and reduction of physical burden on staff associated with patient transport.
- . Improved workflow in ICU as well as radiation department
