K191040 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the syngo.via (Version VB40A). Classified as System, Image Processing, Radiological within the LLZ classification (a category encompassing advanced image processing and PACS-adjacent software), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Siemens Healthcare GmbH (Forchheim, DE). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on May 16, 2019 after a review of 27 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.2050 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight framework. The Abbreviated 510(k) pathway was used, relying on FDA-recognized standards to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Device pattern: Incremental AI imaging tool. Standards-verified equivalence. Overall, this clearance reflects a predicate-aligned approval typical of modern AI radiology extensions - not a novel clinical breakthrough, but a validated iteration within an established regulatory category.
