Siemens wins more FDA nods for Somatom CT platform, clearing go.All and go.Top scanners

Siemens (NYSE:SI) Healthineers said today it won another FDA nod for its Somatom portfolio, this time for its Somatom go.All and go.Top computed tomography systems.

The company said its go. CT platform devices are controlled via tablet and remote, and that its go.ALL CT scanner features a 0.33-second rotation time, 75 kW generator and 64-slice capabilities. The go.Top system has an acquisition speed of up to 175 mm per second, and features 128-slice capabilities, the company added.

Siemens said that both newly cleared devices are powered by its Athlon X-ray tube which offers high mA at a low kV, and adjustable tube voltage in 10-kV increments.

“With the FDA clearance of the Somatom go.All and Somatom go.Top, Siemens Healthineers offers a comprehensive, user-designed suite of cost-effective CT scanners to perform a wide range of clinical tasks, from routine procedures to advanced clinical applications. With its revolutionary changes to workflow and reliability, our Somatom go.

The clearance follows closely on the heels of FDA nods for the company’s Somatom Edge plus CT and Somatom Force flagship dual source CT systems, which were both approved this month.
