Intended Use
syngo.plaza is a Picture Archiving and Communication System intended to display, process, read, report, communicate, distribute, store, and archive digital medical images, including mammographic images. It supports the physician in diagnosis and treatment planning. For primary image diagnosis in Mammography only uncompressed or non-lossy compressed images and only preprocessed DICOM "For Presentation" images must be used. Also monitors (displays) and printers which received FDA clearance for Mammography must be used. syngo.plaza also supports DICOM Structured Reports. 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 postprocessing applications. Note: Web-based image distribution is not intended for reporting.
Device Story
syngo.plaza VB10A is a software-only Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) installed on standard IT hardware. It ingests digital medical images via DICOM and integrates with HIS/RIS for clinical workflow management. The system provides tools for image display, processing, reporting, and archiving. Physicians use the workstation to view images, perform measurements (distance, angle, area, perimeter), and utilize advanced post-processing applications (3D reconstruction, multiplanar reconstruction, intensity projections). The device supports mammography diagnosis when used with specific FDA-cleared hardware and image formats. It facilitates clinical decision-making by providing diagnostic-quality visualization and structured reporting. Benefits include centralized image management, efficient workflow integration, and diagnostic support for radiologists and clinicians in hospital or clinic settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Software verification and validation were performed at unit, integration, and system levels according to standards including IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and DICOM/HL7 standards. No clinical data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only system installed on Windows-based, manufacturer-independent workstations. Connectivity via TCP/IP, DICOM, and HL7. Supports JPEG lossless/lossy, RLE, and MPEG-II compression. Features include 2D/3D image processing, multiplanar reconstruction, and intensity projections. Complies with IEC 62304 (Safety Class B), ISO 14971, and DICOM/HL7 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by physicians for the display, processing, reading, reporting, communication, distribution, storage, and archiving of digital medical images, including mammography. For primary mammography diagnosis, requires uncompressed or non-lossy compressed images, preprocessed DICOM 'For Presentation' images, and FDA-cleared monitors/printers.
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).
