FDA-cleared profile
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
Authorized purpose: The Biograph VK10 combines X-ray CT and PET to register and fuse anatomic and physiologic information, supports independent CT or PET imaging, and aids trained professionals in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging, and restaging disease, lesions, tumors, and organ function; the CT may also support radiotherapy planning, interventional procedures, and low-dose lung-cancer screening in high-risk populations.

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview
Clinical role: The Biograph VK10 combines X-ray CT and PET to register and fuse anatomic and physiologic information, supports independent CT or PET imaging, and aids trained professionals in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging, and restaging disease, lesions, tumors, and organ function; the CT may also support radiotherapy planning, interventional procedures, and low-dose lung-cancer screening in high-risk populations.
Evidence from the reviewed source record: The exact FDA decision material for K233677 supports the submission-specific intended use and regulatory verification summarized here; it does not establish a general product-wide sensitivity or specificity value.
Clinical details
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Regulatory identity
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Implementation
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Normalized from the prior exact-submission review. Confirm interface versions and local compatibility during technical evaluation.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
Public sources reviewed here do not establish the complete exact-release security posture, including identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote access, vulnerability management, backup, or incident response.
Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.
Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.
PET, CT, or fused PET/CT acquisition and image processing to support professional diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, or organ-function assessment where labeled.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Submission-anchored workflow summary, not a local acceptance or deployment result.
PET radiopharmaceutical distribution and CT acquisition data, with supported attenuation, registration, and protocol inputs.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Exact supported inputs and protocol limits must be confirmed from the complete labeling.
PET, CT, and fused images with quantitative or attenuation information for professional interpretation.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Output review, editing, approval, export, and downstream use remain release- and site-specific.
Exact deployment topology and operational boundaries remain unestablished.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Confirm hosting, PHI flow, retention, access, updates, downtime, and support obligations before procurement or clinical use.
Exact local interfaces, identity matching, routing, display, reporting, and fallback behavior remain unestablished.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Validate the local workflow against the exact release and enabled options.
Current vendor material is product-family context for K233677 only; exact release, enabled options, deployment, security, interoperability, pricing, and local workflow require confirmation.
product family · checked 2026-09-04Vendor material is not exact-release evidence unless that linkage is separately proven.
Evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.
No exact-submission and version-linked sensitivity endpoint is promoted; candidate or product-family values were not substituted.
No exact-submission and version-linked specificity endpoint is promoted; candidate or product-family values were not substituted.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.
K233677
The exact FDA material is submission-specific and should not be generalized to other versions, enabled options, sites, protocols, or clinical outcomes.
Costs and setup
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
No public exact-release price, license fee, subscription, contract, or implementation cost was established in this review.
CMS coverage-index context was checked, but no product-specific coverage or reimbursement determination is inferred.
Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.

Research record
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
The refreshed discovery snapshot contains no PubMed or ClinicalTrials.gov candidates; no external evidence was promoted. The current discovery snapshot contains 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
