Indications for Use
The Siemens SOMATOM Definition AS/ AS+ (Project P46) systems are 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 resulted from the continuous rotation of detectors and x-ray tube, and the simulaneous translation of the patient.)
Device Story
The SOMATOM Definition AS/AS+ is a computed tomography (CT) scanner. It acquires x-ray transmission data via rotating detectors and tube while the patient translates through the gantry. The system uses the syngo VA48 (SOMARIS/7 VA48) software platform to reconstruct this data into cross-sectional images. Operated by trained radiology staff in clinical settings, the device provides images for diagnostic evaluation. New features include TwinBeam scanning, adaptive spiral (zig-zag) scanning, respiratory rate analysis, FAST 3D reconstruction, multiphase reconstruction, and various dose reduction/artifact correction tools (ADMIRE, iMAR, MARIS, HandCARE, CARE Dose4D). Output is viewed by clinicians to inform diagnostic and treatment decisions. The device benefits patients by providing high-quality diagnostic images with optimized dose management and advanced reconstruction capabilities.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance was validated through verification and validation testing of the syngo VA48 software and new features. Compliance with standards including IEC 60601-2-44, IEC 61223-3-5, NEMA XR-25, NEMA XR-29, and IEC 62304 was demonstrated. No clinical data was required or provided.
Technological Characteristics
Computed tomography x-ray system. Materials and energy source remain consistent with predicate devices. Features include iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE, iMAR, MARIS), dose reduction (HandCARE, CARE Dose4D), and advanced scanning modes (TwinBeam, Adaptive Spiral). Software version syngo VA48 (SOMARIS/7 VA48). Connectivity via DICOM. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-44, IEC 61223-3-5, NEMA XR-25, NEMA XR-29, ISO 14971.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring cross-sectional body imaging via computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data. No specific age, gender, or disease state contraindications provided.
Regulatory Classification

## SIEMENS
## Software Verification and Validation
Software Documentation for a Moderate Level of Concern software per FDA's Guidance Document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" issued on May 11, 2005 is also included as part of this submission.
## Summary
Performance tests were conducted to test the functionality of the SOMATOM Definition AS/AS+ configured with software version syngo® VA48. These tests have been performed to test the ability of the included features of the subject device. The results of these tests demonstrate that the subject device performs as intended. The result of all conducted testing was found acceptable to support the claim of substantial equivalence.
#### General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns: 10.
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.
#### 11. Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence:
The SOMATOM Definition AS/AS+ configured with software version syngo® VA48 has the same intended use and comparable indication for use as the predicate devices. The technological characteristics such as image acquisition, operating platform, and image manipulation are similar to the predicate devices
The predicate devices were cleared based on non-clinical supportive information and clinical images. The results of these tests demonstrate that the SOMATOM Definition Edge (K120579) and SOMATOM Definition AS Open (K130901) are adequate for the intended use. The comparison of technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data, and software validation demonstrates that the subject device is as safe and effective when compared to the predicate devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use.
