Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.3)
syngo.CT CaScoring is an image analysis software package for evaluating CT data sets.
AlgorithmAutomated calcium scoring algorithm that assigns a probability of a candidate being a coronary calcification based on location within the heart, density, shape and similar properties. If the probability is higher than a predefined threshold, the candidate is labelled as a calcification.
source quote (p.6)
Assignment of a probability of a candidate being a coronary calcification based on location within the heart, density, shape and similar properties: if the probability of a candidate is higher than a predefined threshold, the candidate is labelled as a calcification.
Adaptive (vs locked)No
source quote (p.6)
The automated calcium scoring algorithm which is implemented in the software version SOMARIS/8 VB40 of the subject device is equivalent to the secondary predicate device HealthCCS. The automatic calcium scoring algorithm works in the same manner as cleared with the secondary predicate device. From a functional perspective there are no differences.
