syngo.CT Brain Hemorrhage

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.

Assist radiologists in prioritizing suspected intracranial hemorrhage, including subarachnoid hemorrhage, on non-contrast head CT through case-level worklist output; the output is informational and not diagnostic.

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
Assist radiologists in prioritizing suspected intracranial hemorrhage, including subarachnoid hemorrhage, on non-contrast head CT through case-level worklist output; the output is informational and not diagnostic.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Intended users
Radiologists and clinical administrators
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Care setting and population
Acute care
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Workflow role
Parallel notification and worklist prioritization for suspected ICH or SAH, independent of the standard-of-care reading queue; all original images remain available for clinical review.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
DICOM-conformant, diagnostic-quality non-contrast head CT reconstructions from Siemens and other CT vendors; the labeled modality is non-contrast CT and the packet does not impose a Siemens-only restriction.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
Case-level output indicating suspected hemorrhage, suspected hemorrhage including the subarachnoid space, or processing finished, made available to a CT scanner or PACS for worklist prioritization; the original image is not marked or altered.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
Output is informational only, not for diagnostic use, and not for standalone diagnosis. The device does not direct attention to a specific location, alter the original image, or remove cases from the worklist. The FDA endpoints distinguish ICH from SAH, and the input is non-contrast head CT rather than CTA.

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The packet describes DICOM-conformant head CT input, case-level output to a CT scanner or PACS, and deployment compatibility with the SOMARIS-X and syngo.via host systems. Specific interface versions and local compatibility are not established.

Deployment and data flow
On-premise
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08

Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08

Current training prerequisites, competency checks, and support commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08

Current drift, quality, uptime, alert, escalation, and incident-response commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Input or output interoperability

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.

Evidence summary
FDA K232431 reports a retrospective standalone study of 900 anonymized head CT cases from 5 sites in the US and Europe with approximately equal positive and negative cases; ground truth used majority reading by three US board-certified neuroradiologists with more than 10 years of experience. For ICH, sensitivity was 95.0% (95% CI 92.5-96.7) and specificity 93.1% (95% CI 90.5-95.1). For SAH, sensitivity was 86.1% (95% CI 81.1-90.0) and specificity 85.2% (95% CI 82.3-87.7). Average per-case processing time was 13.34 seconds (95% CI 9.16-17.51).

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA scope controls clinical claims. ACR provides bounded exact-submission catalog context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
