Intended Use

syngo.via RT Image Suite is a 3D and 4D image visualization, multimodality manipulation and contouring tool that helps the preparation and response assessment of treatments such as, but not limited to those performed with radiation (for example, Brachytherapy, Particle Therapy, External Beam Radiation Therapy). It provides tools to efficiently view existing contours, create, edit, modify, copy contours of the body, such as but not limited to, skin outline, targets and organs-at-risk. Contours and images can subsequently be exported to a Treatment Planning System. The software combines following digital image processing and visualization tools: - Multi-modality viewing and contouring of anatomical, and multi-parametric images such as but not limited to CT, PET, PET/CT, MRI, Linac Cone Beam CT (CBCT) images and dose distributions - Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) thick, minimum intensity projection (MIP), volume rendering technique (VRT) - Freehand and semi-automatic contouring of regions-of-interest on any orientation including oblique - Creation of contours on any type of images without prior assignment of a planning CT - Manual and semi-automatic registration using rigid and deformable registration - Supports the user in comparing, and adapting contours based on datasets acquired with different imaging modalities and at different time points - Supports the user in comparing images and contours of different patients - Supports multi-modality image fusion - Visualization and contouring of moving tumors and organs - Management of points of interest including but not limited to the isocenter

Conclusions The predicate devices were cleared based on non-clinical supportive information. The subject device was tested using the same non-clinical methods. The subject device non-clinical data supports the safety of the software with verification and validation testing. Verification and Validation testing also demonstrates that syngo.via RT Image Suite performs as intended. The non-clinical test data demonstrates that syngo.via RT Image Suite device performance is comparable to the predicate devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use. Furthermore, for the subject device, syngo.via RT Image Suite, Siemens used the same testing with the same workflows as was used to clear the predicate devices. Since both devices were tested using the same methods. Siemens believes that the data generated from the syngo.via RT Image Suite testing supports a finding of substantial equivalence. In summary, Siemens is of the opinion that the syngo.via RT Image Suite does not introduce any new potential safety risk and is substantially equivalent to and performs as well as the predicate devices.
