Device Description syngo.CT Colonography is a self-contained image analysis software package for evaluating CT volume data sets. The software is designed to support the physician in studying the inside, wall, and outside of the colon. It helps the physician to classify conspicuous regions of tissue with respect to their size, shape, and position. Therefore, it combines tools for - visualization of the data: ● - Panoramic Endoluminal View a) - Stool Tagging b) - Workflow Improvements C) - Virtual Dissection d) - e) Polyp Lens - Stool Subtraction f) - navigation through the CT volume data sets ● - evaluation of potential findings: ● - a) Semi-automatic measurements - reporting of results: - a) {5}------------------------------------------------ # SIEMENS For the inspection of the colonic surface and diagnosis of colon lesions clinically, two workflows have been established: - 2-dimensional search and 3-dimensional diagnosis: . Multiplanar Reconstructions (MPRs) are used for the detection of lesions. If a suspicious structure has been detected, the virtual endoscope is located and the final diagnosis can be performed. - 3-dimensional search and 2-dimensional diagnosis: . A virtual flight is performed starting at the rectum position of one data set. If a suspicious structure has been detected, the final diagnosis is performed using the MPRs. ### Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the 6. Predicate Device syngo.CT Colonography is a post processing application operating on the multi-user syngo.via client server platform. The subject device syngo.CT Colonography provides similar evaluation, processing, reporting and visualization tools, and functionality as the predicate device syngo Colonography with extended functionality (K042605, clearance date October 8, 2004). This includes various image processing and visualization. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technical elements: - Polyp Enhanced Viewing - Segmentation in Global View - Size measurements of polyps ● - 3D Inspection of colon in Endoluminal view ● The subject device contains additional automatic and semi-automatic visualization and evaluation tools which support assessment of colonic lesions. syngo.CT Colonography does not have significant changes in technological characteristics when compared to the predicate devices. The indication for use, intended use, operating principle, and fundamental scientific technology are similar; therefore, Siemens believes that syngo.CT Colonography is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. {6}------------------------------------------------ # SIEMEN #### Performance Data 7. ## Nonclinical Testing: syngo.CT Colonography is designed to fulfill the requirements of the following safety and performance standards: | Recognition<br>Number | Product<br>Area | Title of Standard | Reference<br>Number and<br>Date | Publication<br>Date | Standards<br>Development<br>Organization | |-----------------------|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|---------------------|------------------------------------------| | 12-238 | Radiology | Digital Imaging and<br>Communications in Medicine<br>(DICOM) Set | PS 3.1 - 3.18 | 03/16/2012 | NEMA | | 13-8 | Software | Medical device software -<br>Software life cycle processes | 62304 First<br>edition 2006-05 | 08/20/2012 | IEC | | 5-40 | General | Medical devices - Application of<br>risk management to medical<br>devices | 14971 Second<br>Edition 2007-<br>03-01 | 08/20/2012 | ISO | | 5-85 | General | Medical electrical equipment --<br>Part 1-6: General requirements<br>for basic safety and essential<br>performance -- Collateral<br>Standard: Usability | 60601-1-6<br>Edition 3.0<br>2010-01 | 1/30/2014 | IEC | | 5-41 | General | Medical electrical equipment -<br>Part 1-4: General requirements<br>for safety -- Collateral standard:<br>Programmable electrical medical<br>systems, edition 1.1 | 60601-1-<br>4:2000, Consol.<br>Ed. 1.1 | | IEC | This submission contains performance data to demonstrate continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software.
