Syngo.CT CaScoring

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.

syngo.CT CaScoring analyzes noncontrast standard- or low-dose cardiac CT, marks calcified coronary lesions, allocates them to the right coronary, left main, left anterior descending, or circumflex artery, and calculates artery and total Agatston-equivalent, mass, and volume scores.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The FDA package describes noncontrast cardiac CT input and artery-specific calcium scores and reports.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

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

Deployment and data flow
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

The exact public FDA decision material does not establish the complete deployment topology, hosting responsibility, availability, upgrade path, or service contract.

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 trained radiologists, cardiologists, and qualified ct professionals 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

  • Checked 2026-09-04
Monitoring and change control
Monitor K201034 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: Use is limited to noncontrast cardiac CT and supported coronary anatomy; calcium scores are decision-support measurements requiring physician interpretation.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

Monitoring guidance is buyer-facing implementation 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 K201034 before acceptance.

Deployment boundary

The exact public deployment topology remains incomplete; establish hosting responsibility, data flow, availability, upgrade, service, and downtime boundaries locally.

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

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 noncontrast cardiac CT and supported coronary anatomy; calcium scores are decision-support measurements requiring physician interpretation.

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 K201034 by exact native submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later, or adverse-event information.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact-name and exact-submission searches in the checked 2026-09-01 indexes returned no PubMed records and no ClinicalTrials.gov records for K201034; review status is candidate_review_pending. Literature and registry candidates remain quarantined unless exact submission and tested-version linkage is established. The checked recall disposition is no exact-submission recall record was promoted; ambiguous or family-only candidates are not published. Pricing, complete security architecture, contracted deployment, exact reimbursement, and local interoperability remain unverified. 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.
