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 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DETERMINATION

#### Device Description and Intended Use: .

This premarket notification covers Siemens' enhanced PACS system syngo.plaza.

syngo. plaza is a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) intended to display, process, read, report, communicate, distribute, store and archive digital medical images.

It supports the physician in diagnosis and treatment planning.

syngo.plaza also supports storage and archiving of DICOM Structured Reports.

{1}------------------------------------------------

In a comprehensive imaging suite syngo.plaza integrates Hospital/Radiology Information Systems (HIS/RIS) to enable customer specific workflows. syngo. plaza optionally uses a variety of advanced post processing applications.

Note:

Web-based image distribution is not intended for reporting.

In the U.S.A., syngo.plaza is not intended for the reporting of digital mammography images.

### syngo.plaza Workplaces

The three syngo.plaza workplace deployments ...

- a) syngo.plaza Cluster Client
- b) syngo.plaza Web Client
- c) syngo.plaza Standalone Workstation

... are medical diagnostic and viewing workstations intended for post processing, reading, reporting, viewing and communicating / distributing of radiological softcopy images and so allow radiologists and radiological technicians to receive and process all data needed.

By usage of only specific FDA approved monitors validated together with the software, diagnosis on digital mammography images is possible, but it is not supported in the U.S.A. as disclaimed in the Intended Use.

### Integration

The integration of syngo.plaza shall be applied at different levels and by using technologies like sharing the same HW/SW platform, using common Siemens Medical components (e.g. OPENLink), offering an open interface for other vendors to connect with other DICOM nodes and especially the DICOM Archive functionality, with other information systems (mainly RIS).

#### . Technological Characteristics:

syngo.plaza is a "software only"-system, which will be delivered on CD-ROM / DVD or also preconfigured on hardware. syngo.plaza will be installed by Siemens service engineers.

Defined Hardware requirements are to be met.

The herewith described syngo.plaza supports DICOM formatted images and objects.

#### . Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

The software verification and validation (Unit Test Level, Integration Test Level and System Test Level) was performed for all newly developed components and the complete system according the following standards: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After completion of the system test and comparison of the test results with the software release acceptance criteria, Siemens is of the opinion, that syngo.plaza is substantially equivalent to and performs as well as the predicate device.

#### General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns: .

The device labelling contains instructions for use and any necessary cautions and warning, to provide for safe and effective use of the device.

Risk management is ensured via a risk analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled via software development, verification and validation testing.

#### Substantial Equivalence: .

The syngo.plaza, addressed in this special premarket notification, is substantially equivalent to the following commercially available device:
