Intended Use

The SOMATOM P45 is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes* taken at different angles. (*spiral planes: the axial planes resulting from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)

Device Story

Whole body X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) system; utilizes two continuously rotating tube-detector systems; operates on fan beam principle. Inputs: X-ray transmission data. Processing: SOMARIS/7 VA44 software performs patient/data management, scan control, image reconstruction, and archiving. Features CARE (Combined Application to Reduce Exposure) and FAST (Fully Assisted Scanner Technology) for scan optimization; supports single-click 3D reconstruction of Dual Energy Scans. Outputs: DICOM format CT images. Used in clinical settings by trained medical professionals. Output used by clinicians for diagnostic evaluation. Benefits: Provides cross-sectional anatomical visualization for clinical decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification and validation testing, including phantom testing, were conducted to support software modifications. Risk analysis and hazard mitigation were performed. Results confirmed software specifications met acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Whole body CT scanner; dual-source (two rotating tube-detector systems); fan beam geometry. Software: SOMARIS/7 VA44 running on Windows 7. Features: CARE (dose reduction), FAST (automated scanning), and 3D reconstruction. Connectivity: DICOM compliant. Energy source: X-ray.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring cross-sectional imaging of the body via X-ray computed tomography. No specific age or gender restrictions stated.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A computed tomography x-ray system is a diagnostic x-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from the same axial plane taken at different angles. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

### 4. Device Description:

.

The Siemens SOMATOM P45 is a whole body X-ray Computed Tomography System, which features two continuously rotating tube-detector systems and functions according to the fan beam principle. The SOMATOM P45 produces CT images in DICOM format, which can be used by postprocessing applications commercially distributed by Siemens and other vendors.

The system software is a command-based program used for patient management, data management, X-ray scan control, image reconstruction, and image archive/evaluation. The new version of system software, SOMARIS/7 VA44, supports a Windows 7 operating system, additional scanning and evaluation techniques CARE (Combined Application to Reduce Exposure) and FAST (Fully Assisted Scanner Technology), and single click 3D reconstruction of Dual Energy Scans. The computer system delivered with the CT scanner is able to run the post processing applications optionally.

### 5. Summary of Technical Characteristics of the Subject Device as Compared with the Predicate Device:

SOMATOM P45 configured with software version SOMARIS/7 VA44 does not have significant changes in materials, energy source, or technological characteristics when compared to the predicate devices. The intended use and fundamental scientific technology are similar to the predicate devices;

{2}------------------------------------------------

SIEMENS

therefore Siemens believes that they are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

#### 6. Nonclinical Testing:

The modifications described in this premarket modification were supported with verification/validation as well as phantom testing. Non clinical tests are conducted for SOMATOM P45 configured with software version SOMARIS/7 VA 44 during product development. The risk analysis was completed and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The testing results supports that all the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria.

Testing for verification and validation of the device was found acceptable to support the claims of substantial equivalence.

# 7. Indications for Use:

The SOMATOM P45 is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes* taken at different angles.

(*spiral planes: the axial planes resulting from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simultaneous translation of the patient.)

### 8. 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 and validation testing. To minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice and standards.
