Performance Data The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. ### Non-Clinical Testing This submission contains performance tests (Non-clinical test reports) to demonstrate continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software. Non-clinical tests (integration and functional) were conducted for syngo.CT Extended Functionality during product development. 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. ### 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 acceptance criteria. Testing for verification and validation of the device was found acceptable to support the claims of substantial equivalence. Siemens hereby certifies that syngo.CT Extended Functionality will meet the following voluntary standards covering electrical and mechanical safety listed below, prior to introduction into interstate commerce: | Recognition<br>Number | Product<br>Area | Title of Standard | Date of<br>Recognition | Standards<br>Development<br>Organization | |-----------------------|--------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------| | 12-300 | Radiology | Digital Imaging and Communications in<br>Medicine (DICOM) Set; PS 3.1 - 3.20 | 06/27/2016 | NEMA | | 13-79 | Software | Medical Device Software –Software Life Cycle<br>Processes; 62304:2006 (1st Edition)/A1:2016 | 01/14/2019 | AAMI, ANSI, IEC | | 5-40 | Software/<br>Informatics | Medical devices – Application of risk<br>management to medical devices; 14971 Second<br>Edition 2007-03-01 | 06/27/2016 | ISO | | 5-114 | General I<br>(QS/RM) | Medical devices - Part 1: Application of<br>usability engineering to medical devices<br>IEC 62366-1:2015 | 12/23/2016 | IEC | {7}------------------------------------------------ # VIII. Conclusion syngo.CT Extended Functionality has the same intended use and same indications for use as the predicate device. The technological characteristics such as image visualization, operating platform, and image measurement are the same as the predicate device. For the subject device, syngo.CT Extended Functionality, Siemens used the same testing with the same workflows as used to clear the primary predicate device. Siemens considers syngo.CT Extended Functionality to be as safe, as effective, and with performance substantially equivalent to the commercially available predicate devices.
