Device Description AI-Rad Companion (Pulmonary) SW version VA20 is an enhancement to the previously cleared device AI-Rad Companion (Pulmonary) K183271 that utilizes machine and deep learning algorithms to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis to computed tomography DICOM images to support qualified clinicians in the evaluation and assessment of disease of the thorax. As an update to the previously cleared device, the following modifications have been made: - Modified Indications for Use Statement The indications for use statement was updated to include descriptive text for the lung lesion follow feature. - Updated Subject Device Claims List The claims list was updated to include claim pertaining to the lung lesion follow up feature. - Lung Lesion Follow-up Assessment of current and prior lesions This feature provides the possibility to compare currently segmented lung lesions with corresponding priors and changes to the correlated data are assessed quantitatively. - Pulmonary Density Assessment This feature provides the possibility to segment opacity regions inside the lung using an AI algorithm. AI-Rad Companion (Pulmonary) counts image voxels inside opacity regions and calculates the percentages of these voxels relative to the total number of voxels per lobe. lung and in total. Afterwards, each of the five lung lobes is assigned a score ranging from 0 to 4 based on the percentage of opacity as follows: 0 (0%), 1 (1%-25%), 2 (26%-50%), 3 (51%-75%), or 4 (76%-100%). Then a summation of the five lobe scores (range of possible scores, 0-20) are generated in the device outputs. This functionality is commercially available on the Siemens syngo.CT Extended Functionality (K203699). - . Bi-Directional Lesion Diameter This feature provides an additional measurement derived from the existing segmentation contour of a lung lesion. The existing list of measurements is extended with the maximum orthogonal diameter in 2D (short axis diameter) which is orthogonal to the lesion's maximum 2D diameter (2D diameter, long axis diameter). This functionality is commercially available on the Siemens syngo.CT Extended Functionality (K203699). {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Siemens Healthineers.

Architecture Enhancement for on premise Edge deployment - The system supports the existing cloud deployment as well as an on premise "edge" deployment. The system remains hosted in the teamplay digital health platform and remains driven by the AI-Rad Companion Engine. Now the edge deployment implies that the processing of clinical data and the generation of results can be performed onpremises within the customer network. The edge system is fully connected to the cloud for monitoring and maintenance of the system from remote. # 7.
