### Information Supporting Substantial Equivalence

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Software syngo MR B19 is a new software version for five Siemens MR systems: MAGNETOM Avanto (1.5T), Espree (1.5T), Symphony A Tim System (1.5T), Trio A Tim System (3T), and Verio (3T). Systems that are already in clinical use and at customer sites (referred to as "field upgrades" throughout the rest of the submission) can be uparaded to this software version; some of the five MAGNETOM systems will be manufactured (referred to as "ex-factory systems" throughout the rest of this submission) with this software version (please see table below).

This new software version includes new software sequences, coils and other hardware for the five MAGNETOM systems. While some new features (hardware and software) are only available for certain systems (of the five listed), the basic syngo MR B19 software can run on each of the five MAGNETOM systems. Therefore, while five MAGNETOM systems are mentioned throughout this submission, the software version is the subject of this 510(k).
