Prostate MR AI (VA10A)

Siemens Healthcare GmbH

Prostate MR AI (VA10A) is a plug-in CADe/CADx aid for radiologists interpreting prostate MRI in adult men aged 40 years or older with suspected prostate cancer and no prior treatment, using PI-RADS-oriented review; it is not the sole basis for diagnosis or management.

Evidence status: each field shows source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established in reviewed sources, and vendor documentation pending are distinct outcomes.

Clinical fit

What this tool is for

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.

Exact purpose
Prostate MR AI (VA10A) is a plug-in CADe/CADx aid for radiologists interpreting prostate MRI in adult men aged 40 years or older with suspected prostate cancer and no prior treatment, using PI-RADS-oriented review; it is not the sole basis for diagnosis or management.

Care setting and population
Hospital or radiology-facility prostate MRI interpretation workflows.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Workflow role
Segments the prostate, highlights suspicious regions, provides lesion and case scores, and displays maps or measurements alongside radiologist review.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Required input
Adult prostate MRI with noncontrast T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted sequences; additional MR data and DCE information may be available as described in the FDA material.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Output and human action
Prostate segmentation, suspicious-region contours, lesion score or level-of-suspicion information, PI-RADS suggestion, suspicion maps, case-level score, and optional center, diameter, or ADC measurements.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Limitations
Use is limited to adult men aged 40 years or older with suspected cancer in a treatment-naive prostate and the supported MRI sequences; radiologist review remains required and the software is not the sole basis for a clinical decision.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The FDA material describes a plug-in with a separate host application and supported prostate MRI inputs, with displayed contours, maps, scores, and measurements for radiologist review.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

This is the interface boundary described in the exact FDA decision material; current local compatibility, routing, identity, archive, and downtime behavior still require acceptance testing.

Deployment and data flow
The FDA material describes a separate hosting application or plug-in and a syngo.MR General Engine license; the current host topology, security, service, and local configuration remain unverified.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

This is the release-level boundary described in the exact FDA decision material; current hosting, contracts, security, availability, upgrade path, and site configuration remain separate evidence.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

Training and support
Only Radiologists and other qualified physicians trained to interpret prostate MRI and PI-RADS-oriented findings should operate or interpret the product; local onboarding must cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Monitoring and change control
Monitor K241770 by exact hardware, software, model, algorithm version, patient population, anatomy, protocol, operator, input quality, output edits or overrides, failed studies, repeat acquisition or rework, downstream impact, downtime, incidents, recalls, and updates. Track these product-specific limits: Use is limited to adult men aged 40 years or older with suspected cancer in a treatment-naive prostate and the supported MRI sequences; radiologist review remains required and the software is not the sole basis for a clinical decision.

Buyer-facing monitoring guidance derived from the exact cleared scope; it is not a claim that the FDA package provides a live monitoring service.

Release and scope verification

Map installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K241770 before acceptance.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.

Deployment boundary

The FDA material describes a separate hosting application or plug-in and a syngo.MR General Engine license; the current host topology, security, service, and local configuration remain unverified.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

FDA-described deployment boundaries do not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.

Interoperability acceptance

The FDA material describes a plug-in with a separate host application and supported prostate MRI inputs, with displayed contours, maps, scores, and measurements for radiologist review.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.

Clinical acceptance

Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. Use is limited to adult men aged 40 years or older with suspected cancer in a treatment-naive prostate and the supported MRI sequences; radiologist review remains required and the software is not the sole basis for a clinical decision.

Economic evaluation

Model capital and recurring cost against net staff time after review, throughput, repeat imaging or rework, room time, consumables, infrastructure, training, service, downtime, upgrade, and replacement costs.

product family · checked 2026-09-04

No exact-product price was found in the reviewed public material; productivity or value claims require local evidence.

Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Postmarket safety review
The 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K241770 by exact native submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later-version, or adverse-event information.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Exact-identifier review does not prove absence of all product-family safety signals.
