## Intended Use

syngo Dynamics is a multimodality, vendor agnostic Cardiology image and information system intended for medical image management and processing that provides capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images. syngo Dynamics supports clinicians by providing post image processing functions for image manipulation, and/or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images for disease detection, diagnosis, and/or patient management within the healthcare institution's network. syngo Dynamics is not intended to be used for display or diagnosis of digital mammography images in the U.S.

## Device Story

syngo Dynamics (VA40E) is a software-only medical image management and processing system (MIMPS) for cardiology and other specialties. It functions as a client-server architecture, receiving DICOM images from modalities like ultrasound, X-ray angiography, CT, and MR. The server processes and stores data; the client (workstation or web-based) provides tools for image viewing, manipulation, and quantification. Used by clinicians in healthcare facilities to generate diagnostic reports and support clinical decision-making. It integrates with EHR systems or operates as a standalone device. Output includes processed images and quantitative data, which clinicians evaluate to inform patient management. Benefits include centralized access to multi-modality images and standardized reporting tools. It does not contact patients; output is subject to clinician review.

### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

This premarket notification addresses the Siemens Healthineers syngo Dynamics (Version VA40E) Medical Image Management and Processing System (MIMPS).

syngo Dynamics is a software only medical device which is used with common IT hardware. Recommended configurations are defined for the hardware required to run the device, and hardware is not considered as part of the medical device.

syngo Dynamics is intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals in a professional healthcare facility to review, edit, and manipulate image data, as well as to generate quantitative data, qualitative data, and diagnostic reports.

syngo Dynamics is a digital image display and reporting system with flexible deployment - it can function as a standalone medical device that includes a DICOM Server or as an integrated module within an Electronic Health Record (EHR) System with a DICOM Archive that receives images from digital image acquisition devices such as ultrasound and x-ray angiography machines. There are three deployments: Standalone, EHR/EHS Integrated, and Multi-Modality Cardiovascular (MMCV). MMCV deployment functions as a standalone medical device with capability of natively support 2D and 3D CT and MR image types.

The use of syngo Dynamics is focused on cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), angiography (xray), cardiac nuclear medicine (NM), CT and MR studies that cover both adult and pediatric medicine. Also supported is vascular ultrasound and ultrasound in Obstetrics/Gynecology and Maternal Fetal Medicine (fetal echocardiography during pregnancy).

syngo Dynamics is based on a client-server architecture. The syngo Dynamics server processes the data from the connected imaging modalities, and stores data and images to a DICOM server and routes them for permanent storage, printing, and review. The client provides the user interface for interactive image viewing, reporting, and processing; and can be installed on network connected workstations.

syngo Dynamics offers multiple access strategies: A Workplace that provides full functionality for reading and reporting: A Remote Workplace that provides additionally compressed images with access to full fidelity images for reading and reporting; and a browser based WebViewer that provides access to additionally compressed images and reports from compatible devices (including mobile devices).

In the United States, monitors (displays) should not be used for diagnosis, unless the monitor (display) has specifically received 510(k) clearance for this purpose.

### Indications for Use Comparison

The subject device, syngo Dynamics (Version VA40E) is a new version of the predicate device, syngo Dynamics VA30 (K171053). The Indications for Use for the subject device and the predicate device are equivalent. There were no fundamental changes to the device as a cardiology-focused information and imaging management software. The indications for use were updated to exclude functions such as "storage and display" of medical images as they are no longer fall within the definition of a medical device by the FDA.

Neither the subject nor the predicate device is indicated for any specific disease, condition, or patient population, and both are intended to support healthcare professionals in the healthcare institutions' environment.

Both the subject and predicate devices share the same contraindication that they are not intended to be used for display or diagnosis of digital mammography images in the U.S.

#### Indications for Use/Intended Use Comparison Summary and Conclusion

The Indications for Use were assessed in accordance with the following FDA Guidance Documents:

- o The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications [510(k)]
- Food and Drug Administration Staff Guidance for Industry, General/Specific Intended Use 0

The results of this evaluation determined that the Indications for Use for the subject device and the predicate device are fundamentally the same, and only includes minor updates. As such, Siemens Healthineers is of the opinion that the Intended Use and Indications for Use are similar to the predicate device.
