Intended Use

This computed tomography system is intended to generate and process cross-sectional images of patients by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data. The images delivered by the system can be used by a trained physician as an aid in diagnosis. The images delivered by the system can be used by trained staff as an aid in diagnosis, treatment preparation and radiation therapy planning. This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in high risk populations.

Device Story

SOMATOM X.cite is a single-source whole-body CT scanner using a continuously rotating tube-detector system (fan beam principle). Inputs: X-ray transmission data. Outputs: DICOM-format cross-sectional images. Operated by trained staff/physicians in clinical settings. Features 'Scan&GO' mobile workflow: wireless tablet interface for scan planning, protocol selection, and patient positioning (via 3D camera). Does not store images or trigger radiation. Software (SOMARIS/10 syngo CT VA30) manages patient data, scan control, and image reconstruction. Benefits: enhanced workflow efficiency, advanced reconstruction (Recon&GO), and patient positioning tools. Output used by clinicians for diagnosis, treatment planning, and radiation therapy (e.g., brachytherapy, proton therapy).

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Includes phantom studies for image quality (HU accuracy, skin-line accuracy), verification of reconstruction algorithms (Spectral Recon, DirectDensity), and clinical use testing (internal/external simulations) to validate Scan&GO workflow. No prospective clinical trials conducted; relies on National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) literature for lung cancer screening indication.

Siemens believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Testing and validation is completed. Test results show that the subject device SOMATOM X.cite, is comparable to the predicate devices SOMATOM go.Top (K173632) and SOMATOM Force (K190578) in terms of technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness and therefore are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. ## VII. Performance Data ## Non-Clinical Testing Non-clinical test (integration and functional) including phantom tests were conducted for the SOMATOM X.cite during product development. The modifications described in this Premarket Notification were supported with verification and validation testing. The general purpose of each tests is to verify and validate the functionality of the subject device modifications. Testing will cover all related subsystems that contribute to the device modifications. Test levels are defined. For each test level several test activities are performed. The test specification and acceptance criteria are related to the corresponding requirements. Various test activities are performed to specific modifications on different test levels to ensure safe and effective integration in the system. Three test levels are defined: ## System Test (ST): - Acceptance test (workflow and user manual test) ● - Legal and Regulatory test . - System Integration Test (SIT): - System Integration Test (functional) ● - Image Quality (IQ) test ● - DICOM tests ## Subsystem Integration Test (SSIT): - Subsystem Integration Test ● - . DICOM tests Tests are conducted for all software components developed in product development and for the complete product itself. Several activities are taken into account for this process, including creation of test specifications that relate to software requirements including tests to address risk mitigations that are identified, documented and traced by hazard keys. Additional evaluation tests are performed as bench test to support the new device modification on Non-Clinical Performance Testing as listed in table S07 below. ## Table S07: Non-Clinical Performance Testing {14}------------------------------------------------ | # | Feature/Non-Clinical Supportive Testing | Document Title | Testing Performed | |----|------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 01 | kV and Filter independent CaScore | Evaluation of DirectDensity and Artificial120 kernels on Somaris/10 VA30 | The test results show that performance of special kernel variants Artifical120 and eDDensity and mDDensity is similar or improved within the limits of accuracy of the test com-pared to the respective initial release versions. In conclusion, the features DirectDensity and Calcium Scoring at any kV have been enabled for the release SOMARIS/10 VA30. | | 02 | Recon&GO - Spectral Recon | Detailed Description and Bench Test for the Feature "Spectral Recon" | Deviations between the already cleared image processing algorithms in Inline DE and the new technical realization "Spectral Recon" are extremely small and are not expected to have any impact on the diagnostic performance. Residual deviations are a consequence of rounding differences and slight differences in implementation. | | 03 | TwinSpiral Dual Energy / TwinSpiral DE | Detailed Description and Bench Test<br>for the Feature "TwinSpiral" | Based on these results it can be stated that the TwinSpiral Dual Energy CT scan mode provides CT-images of diagnostic quality, which are similar to conventional 120kV images in terms of CT-values and image noise at same radiation dose. The mixed images show a slight reduction in the iodine CT-value, but at the same time image noise at same dose is also lower. So in combination the iodine CNR at same radiation dose is comparable between Mixed images and 120kV images. | | 04 | Flex 4D Spiral - Neuro/Body | Flex4D Spiral: Technical principals and demonstration of freely selectable scan ranges (Somaris/10 VA30) | Scan ranges with the new Flex4D Spiral feature can be freely selected within the limits mandated by the scan mode and protocol. The scanned volume was found to be in agreement with the planned scan range for a variety of different tested scan modes, scan lengths and scanners.<br>Radiochromic film placed in the isocenter for a variety of scan ranges showed that the irradiated range markers displayed by the scanner acquisition software during the planning of the respective F4DS scans were in good agreement with the exposed area on the film. | | 05 | DirectDensity | Evaluation of DirectDensity and Artificial120 kernels on Somaris/10 VA30 | Evaluation of phantom images to demonstrate the subject device features ability to provide images that can be shown as relative mass density or relative electron density. The conducted test performed demonstrated the subject device's ability to show relative mass or relative electron density images. | | 06 | HD FoV | HDFoV 4.0: Technical principles and phantom measurements evaluating HU accuracy and skin-line accuracy in the extended field of view (FoV) region (Som/10 VA30) | Phantom testing conducted to assess the subject device ability to provide visualization of anatomies outside the standard field of view and that the image quality standards for radiotherapy applications are met. | | 07 | Contrast media protocol | Siemens Healthineers factory contrast protocols and comparison to approved drug labeling…
