Indications for Use Comparison to the Predicate Device The indications for use are the same between the subject device and the primary predicate device. Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. {6} SIEMENS Healthineers # 7. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device MI View&amp;GO with software version VA40 software provides the same technological characteristics in terms of materials, energy source, and control mechanisms when compared to the legally marketed predicate device since all devices are software only devices. The software features have been modified in comparison to the predicate device to support enhanced device functionality. The intended use, indications for use, and fundamental scientific technology for the subject device remains unchanged from the predicate device. No features present from the predicate device have been de-scoped. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements: - Data Supported (PET, SPECT, CT, MR) - Server/Client architecture - Workflow Activities (preprocessing, evaluation and reading, reporting and storage) - Feature Licensing Structure - SUV values calculated The following technological differences exist between the subject device and predicate devices. MI View&amp;GO VA40: - Features - General Masking Tool - VQ Ratio and Subtraction Images for Auto Lung 3D - Improved Lung Segmentation - Deauville Score - Improved PERCIST Liver algorithm - Improvements to Layout and Usability - Cardiac Layout Enhancement - Improvements to Layout Editing and User Presets Any differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Testing and validation are completed. Test results show that the subject devices are comparable to the predicate devices in terms of technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness and therefore are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. # 8. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Test Summary &amp; Conclusions The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. {7} SIEMENS Healthineers # Software Verification and Validation 'Enhanced' software documentation per FDA's guidance document "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" issued on June, 2023 is also included as part of this submission. The performance data demonstrates continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software. The testing supports that all software specifications have met the predetermined acceptance criteria. Verification and validation testing substantiates all requirement and functional specifications, including specifications related to device hazards, and supports the claim of substantial equivalence. # Performance Testing The device under application, MI View&amp;GO (K254061), deploys the same improved Lung Segmentation and improved PERCIST Liver algorithm as cleared in the predicate / reference device syngo.via VC10 (K251528). # Improved Lung Segmentation In addition to verification and validation testing, performance evaluation was conducted in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the lung lobe segmentation algorithm compared to the predicate device. The lung lobe segmentation algorithm was re-trained with additional data and is utilized within Auto Lung 3D. Quantitative evaluation of the segmentation results was performed using the commonly used overlap measure Dice coefficient (DSC). The algorithm was tested retrospectively on an independent cohort of 20 patients that were not part of training or tuning cohort. The test cohort was augmented compared to the predicate to include new subjects. Half of the patients in the test cohort were new and the other 50% were randomly selected from the predicate testing cohort. Performance was compared between the predicate and updated algorithms. In summary: I. No overlap of patients between training, tuning, and test cohorts. II. Relevant test cohort parameters are as follows: - ~50% male patients - Slice thickness &lt;=5 mm - 50% of patients were from the US - All patients from Siemens Scanner - Adults, age &gt; 21 Acceptance Criteria for organ segmentation: - For new organs, the average Dice coefficient per organ shall be greater than 0.8 or the average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) per organ less than 2 voxel of worst slice thickness, i.e. 10 mm. - For unchanged organs, the average Dice coefficient per organ shall be within +/-0.03 of the average Dice coefficient per organ of the predicate algorithm. Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. {8} SIEMENS Healthineers - For improved organs, the average Dice coefficient per organ shall be greater or equal than the average Dice coefficient per organ of the predicate algorithm. The average Dice coefficient for the 20 subjects was higher for each lobe in the subject device than in the predicate device, although not greater than a +0.03 difference for all lobes. The anatomy segmentation feature supports segmentation for a wide variety of organs. Since each organ utilizes a different model, the Dice-score on other organs (other than lungs and lung lobes) that were not retrained remained unchanged and this was verified by recalculating the Dice score with the new algorithm. # Improved PERCIST Liver algorithm Additionally, performance evaluation was conducted for the improved PERCIST Liver algorithm. The algorithm takes as input the PET/CT image together with a binary liver mask and returns the coordinates of the reference region center. The performance specifications for the binary liver mask used as input to the algorithm are detailed below. The test data consisted of 20 patients. The patients were obtained from clinical partners in Europe and USA. The data was randomly selected using the following stratification: - No overlap of patients between training, tuning, and test cohorts - Adults, Age &gt; 21 - ~50% male patients - Slice thickness &lt;= 5 mm - All subject from Siemens Scanner The acceptance criteria for the liver is an average Dice coefficient greater than 0.8 or an average symmetric surface distance (ASSD) less than 10 mm. The liver met both criteria. The performance evaluation for the updated PERCIST Liver algorithm is detailed below. In the first analysis conducted, the reference standard used to evaluate the subject device method performance consisted of liver VOI positioning obtained semi-automatically by two expert readers. The subject device algorithm was then compared to the reference standard and shown to yield results in better agreement with semi-automatic evaluation by expert readers compared with the method of placement used in the predicate device. The second analysis conducted focused on PET/CT scans presenting foci with suspicious tracer uptake either in the liver or with spill over to the liver, evaluating the subject and predicate devices based on how often the PERCIST VOIs intersected the suspicious uptake masks identified by an expert reader. Out of 129 subjects included in the analysis, the subject device had fewer intersections (4 cases) compared Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. {9} SIEMENS Healthineers to the predicate device (13 cases). As with the predicate device, the user can manually reposition the PERCIST liver reference region at any time. ## Clinical Testing Clinical testing was not conducted for this submission. ## Risk Analysis The risk analysis was completed, and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The testing results support that all the software specifications have met the predetermined acceptance criteria. Testing for verification and validation of the device was found acceptable to support the claims of substantial equivalence. ## Standards Siemens hereby certifies that MI View&amp;GO meets the following FDA Recognized Consensus standards listed below: | Designation Number and Edition/Date | Title | Standards Development Organization | Recognition Number | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PS 3.1 - 3.20 2023e | Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set | NEMA | 12-352 | | 62304 Edition 1.1 2015-06 CONSOLIDATED VERSION | Medical Device Software –Software Life Cycle Processes | AAMI, ANSI, IEC | 13-79 | | 14971 Third Edition 2019-12 | Medical devices – Application of risk management to medical devices | ISO | 5-125 | | 62366-1 Edition 1.1 2020-06 CONSOLIDATED VERSION | Medical devices - Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices | AAMI, ANSI, IEC | 5-129 | | 15223-1 Fourth edition 2021-07 | Medical devices - Symbols to be used with medical device labels, labelling, and information to be supplied - Part 1: General requirements | ISO | 5-134 | Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. {10} SIEMENS Healthineers | 20417 First edition 2021-04 Corrected version 2021-12 | Medical devices – Information to be supplied by the manufacturer | ISO | 5-135 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | # Conclusion There are no differences in the Indications for Use, Intended Use, or Fundamental Technological Characteristics of the MI View&amp;GO VA40 software as compared to the currently commercially available MI View&amp;GO VA30 software (K242300). Both the current and predicate devices are used for viewing, manipulation, quantification, analysis, and comparison of medical images from single or multiple imaging modalities with one or more time-points. Additionally, the new features implemented within this release do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. Based on this information, as well as the documentation in support of the modifications, it is Siemens’ opinion that the MI View&amp;GO software—with the modifications outlined in this application—is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
