Syngo Carbon Enterprise Access (VA40A)

Syngo Carbon Enterprise Access (VA40A) is a software-only medical device operating on a client-server architecture, designed as an enterprise-wide web application for the display and rendering of diverse medical data, including DICOM, non-DICOM, and clinical documents, to support diagnostic review by trained professionals within healthcare institutions. It utilizes standard IT hardware and network protocols, offering image manipulation and measurement tools, while being contraindicated for primary diagnosis in mammography, pathology, and on mobile devices in the USA.

Syngo Carbon Enterprise Access (VA40A) is a software-only medical device designed for installation on common IT hardware, functioning as an enterprise-wide web application. Its primary role is to enable trained medical professionals to display and render a variety of medical data, including DICOM images, non-DICOM files, multimedia data, and clinical documents, thereby facilitating image and result distribution for diagnostic purposes within healthcare institutions. The system connects to medical devices via standardized generic interfaces but does not control or alter their functions, focusing on providing access and viewing capabilities. The device operates on a client-server architecture, supporting standard network protocols like TCP/IP and communication protocols such as DICOM (2016a) and non-DICOM objects. It incorporates image display algorithms including MPR, MIP, MinIP View, AVG, and MED, along with measurement and evaluation tools like distance, pixel lens, angle, and polygon annotation. It is important to note that Syngo Carbon Enterprise Access is not intended for the diagnosis of digital mammography images or digital pathology reading, nor for diagnostic use on mobile devices within the United States. Furthermore, it is not meant to be used as the sole basis for clinical decisions. The device's safety and effectiveness were established through non-clinical verification and validation testing, conforming to relevant standards such as ISO 14971 and IEC 62304.
