## 6. Summary of Technological Characteristics of the Subject Device as Compared with the Predicate Devices:
The SOMATOM Drive provides the same technological characteristics in terms of materials, energy source and control mechanisms when compared to the predicate devices. The performance data of the X-ray tube and software features for the subject device SOMATOM Drive have been improved in comparison to the predicate device as described below:
## X-Ray Tube/kV Steps Improvements:
The SOMATOM Drive includes two STRATON MX Sigma X-ray tubes, which are a modification of the X-ray tube to the predicate device (SOMATOM Definition Flash). This modification enables higher mA at lower kV levels. 70 kV and 80 kV (High Power 70 and High Power 80) in comparison to predicate device (SOMATOM Definition Flash).
The STRATON MX Sigma also enables consistent 10 kV steps from 70 to 140 kV, which were introduced as part of the predicate device (SOMATOM Force) and adds 90 kV. 110 kV and 130 kV steps in comparison to the predicate device (SOMATOM Definition Flash).
#### Tube Collimator Improvement
The SOMATOM Drive includes the Tin Filter (selective photon shield) as cleared in the predicate device (SOMATOM Definition Flash) on the collimator of both X-ray tubes, whereas the predicate device (SOMATOM Definition Flash) only had this on one X-ray tube.
## Dual Power (full detector width)
The SOMATOM Drive allows the use of both tubes at the same kV with a routine pitch and full detector width, providing a doubling of the mA available in the examination (Dual Power Mode). The predicate device (SOMATOM Definition Flash) allows the use of both tubes at the same kV with a routine pitch only at half detector width.
#### Comparison of the technological characteristics
A tabular comparison of the technological characteristics between the subject device and predicate devices is provided as Table 1 below:

The intended use and fundamental scientific technology remain unchanged from the predicate devices. The Indication for Use and technological characteristics are similar for the subject and predicate devices. Any differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. As such, Siemens believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
## 7. Nonclinical Testing
The features described in this premarket notification are supported with verification and validation testing. Non clinical tests, including dosimetry and image performance, were conducted for the SOMATOM Drive during product development. The risk analysis was completed and risk control implemented to mitigate identified hazards. The test results show that all of the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria. Verification and validation testing of the device was found acceptable to support the claim of substantial equivalence.
Siemens claims conformance to the following standards: IEC 60601-1/A2: 2005; IEC 60601-2-44:2009 +A1:2012; XR-29: 2013; ISO/IEC 14971:2007; IEC 62304: Ed. 1.0 2006, IEC 61223-2-6: 2006, 61223-3-5: 2004, XR 25, ISO/IEC 10918-1: 1994, DICOM NEMA PS 3.1 - PS 3.20.
{7}------------------------------------------------
# SIEMENS
The performance data demonstrates continued conformance with special controls for medical devices containing software. Non-clinical tests (integration and functional). including phantom test were conducted during the SOMATOM Drive product development. The Risk analysis was completed, and risk control implemented, to mitigate identified hazards. The test results show that all of the software specifications have met the acceptance criteria.
#### Additional provided supporting data
The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, is used to support the additional lung cancer screening Indications for Use. The study was a randomized trial of screening with the use of low-dose CT compared to chest radiography to determine whether screening with low-dose CT could reduce mortality from lung cancer. The study start date was August. 2002 and the completion date was October. 2010. The interpretation task with CT for this study was to detect lung nodules of 4mm diameter or greater.
#### 8. Clinical Testing
Clinical images were evaluated to demonstrate performance for Dual Source Dual Power mode. Clinical experience phrased in peer reviewed articles support the performance and effectiveness of several features provided with SOMATOM Drive.
#### 9. General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:
The device labeling contains instructions for use as well as necessary cautions and warnings to provide for safe and effective use of the device. Risk management is ensured via a hazard analysis, which is used to identify potential hazards. These potential hazards are controlled during development, verification and validation testing. In order to minimize electrical, mechanical, and radiation hazards, Siemens adheres to recognized and established industry practice and standards.
## 10.Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device non-clinical data similarly supports the safety of the software with verification and validation testing. Verification and validation testing demonstrates that the SOMATOM Drive performs as intended. The non-clinical test data demonstrates that the SOMATOM Drive performance is comparable to the predicate devices that are currently marketed for the same intended use.
For SOMATOM Drive, Siemens used the same testing with the same workflows as was used to clear the predicate devices. Since both devices were tested using the same methods. Siemens believes that the data generated from the SOMATOM Drive testing supports a finding of substantial equivalence.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
