FDA-cleared profile

syngo.via MI Workflows; Scenium; syngo MBF

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.

syngo.via MI Workflows, Scenium, and syngo MBF are medical diagnostic post-processing applications for viewing, manipulation, quantification, analysis, and comparison of PET or nuclear-medicine functional data with CT or MR anatomical data across timepoints, supporting disease management and radiotherapy treatment planning by trained healthcare professionals.

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.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
DICOM upload or network transfer to the analysis platform and return of reviewed results or reports; validate patient matching, study selection, permissions, report signing, and PACS or archive transfer.
Public source Product family Checked 2026-09-03

Current vendor materials are product-family evidence for K242275; confirm the exact cleared version, enabled options, deployment, and local compatibility.

Deployment and data flow
Release-specific workstation, server, or cloud web platform with supported DICOM and account configuration.
Public source Product family Checked 2026-09-03

Current vendor materials are product-family evidence for K242275; confirm the exact cleared version, enabled options, deployment, and local compatibility.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

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 qualified nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and trained imaging analysts should operate or interpret the product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03
Monitoring and change control
Monitor by exact hardware, software, model, and 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: Quantification depends on tracer, acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, image quality, and user quality-control steps; candidate literature and current family materials do not establish exact-version performance unless explicitly linked to the submission.
Public source Product family Checked 2026-09-03

Release and scope verification

Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled AI functions to K242275 before acceptance.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-03

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

Interoperability acceptance

DICOM upload or network transfer to the analysis platform and return of reviewed results or reports; validate patient matching, study selection, permissions, report signing, and PACS or archive transfer.

product family · checked 2026-09-03

Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally. Vendor statements are current product-family context; confirm the exact cleared release and installed options.

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. Quantification depends on tracer, acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, image quality, and user quality-control steps; candidate literature and current family materials do not establish exact-version performance unless explicitly linked to the submission.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-03

Define stop-use, escalation, rollback, and revalidation triggers before production use.

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 2026-09-03

No exact-product price was found in the reviewed public material; vendor productivity claims are scenario inputs, not guaranteed local savings.

Lifecycle monitoring

Monitor by exact hardware, software, model, and 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: Quantification depends on tracer, acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, image quality, and user quality-control steps; candidate literature and current family materials do not establish exact-version performance unless explicitly linked to the submission.

product family · checked 2026-09-03

Revalidate after material software, hardware, model, protocol, interface, or clinical-policy changes. Vendor statements are current product-family context; confirm the exact cleared release and installed options.

Evidence

Performance evidence

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

Evidence summary
The K242275 FDA decision summary describes the cleared syngo.via MI Workflows, Scenium, and syngo MBF functions, supported PET/NM and CT/MR inputs, DICOM workflow, SUV harmonization, and software verification and validation. The submitted package does not establish a universal clinical sensitivity or specificity claim; the literature and registry candidates remain quarantined until exact-version linkage is proven.

Economics and lifecycle

Budget and ongoing governance

These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

Pricing and total cost
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

No public list price for the exact cleared configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating hardware or license basis, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.

Reimbursement and coding
No separate named-product Medicare payment was identified in the reviewed CMS coverage material. Evaluate the product within the applicable imaging, procedural, or surgical service line and verify payer, site-of-service, and coding assumptions independently.

Safety and lifecycle

Postmarket record

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 K242275 by exact submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later, or adverse-event information.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

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

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact FDA decision materials were reviewed for identity, indication, users, workflow, limitations, and submitted performance. Current vendor material is labeled product-family context where it does not establish the exact release. PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov results are retained as candidate evidence with version applicability pending; CMS reimbursement context and exact-identifier openFDA postmarket results were also checked. Pricing, final security architecture, contracted services, enabled options, and local interoperability remain organization-specific evidence. Automated exact-name discovery found 18 PubMed and 2 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.
