Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

## II. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS INFORMATION SUPPORTING THE SUB-STANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION
#### Device Description and Intended Use:
This premarket notification covers Siemens enhanced PACS system syngo.x.
syngo.x is a software solution intended to be used for viewing, manipulation, communication, and storage of medical images. It can be used as a stand-alone device or together with a variety of cleared and unmodified syngo x based software options. syngo x supports interpretation and evaluation of examinations within healthcare institutions, for example, in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Cardiology environments. The system is not intended for the displaying of digital mammography images for diagnosis in the U.S.
The system is a software only medical device. It defines minimum requirements to the hardware it runs on. The hardware itself is not seen as a medical device and not in the scope of this 510(k) submission.
It supports the physician in diagnosis and treatment planning. syngo.x also supports storage of Structured DICOM Reports.
In a comprehensive imaging suite syngo.x integrates Radiology Information Systems (RIS) to enable customer specific workflows.
syngo.x allows to use a variety of advanced applications (clinical applications) designed for syngo.x just as the predicate device syngo MultiModality Workplace (K072728, cleared on April 22, 2007). These applications are medical devices on their own rights and filed separately. They are not part of this 510(k) submission and not part of the syngo x medical device. syngo.x has a universal component called generic reader application which is part of this medical device and it allows no newly introduced imaging and postprocessing algorithms compared to the above mentioned predicate devices.
syngo.x is based on Windows. Due to special customer requirements and the clinical focus syngo.x can be configured in the same way as the syngo MultiModality Workplace with different combinations of syngo.x- or Windows -based software options and clinical applications which are intended to assist the physician in diagnosis and/or treatment planning. This includes commercially available post-processing software packages.

### syngo.x Data Management
... ensures all authorized personnel fast and continuous access to radiological data. It's main functionality ranges from availability of images with regard to data security, open interfaces, storage media and central system administration, to provide a flexible storage hierarchy.
## Integration:
The Workflow Management enables by integration of any HL7- / DICOMcompatible RIS (IHE Year 5) to the syngo product family a consistent workflow - from patient registration to requirement scheduling to a personal work list and supports therefore reporting, documentation or administrative tasks.
## Technological Characteristics:
syngo.x is a "software only"-system, which will be delivered on CD-ROM / DVD to be installed on common IT hardware. This hardware has to fulfil the · defined requirements. The Software will be installed by Siemens service engineers only.
