Authorized purpose: Non-invasive processing of adult ultrasound for cardiac measurements including LVEF, wall thickness, and IVC diameter, plus lung and cardiac image-quality feedback in patients with suspected disease.
Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

What does this software do?Authorized purpose: Non-invasive processing of adult ultrasound for cardiac measurements including LVEF, wall thickness, and IVC diameter, plus lung and cardiac image-quality feedback in patients with suspected disease.
Which images or clinical context are in scope?Modality: Ultrasound Anatomy or clinical context: Heart and lungs Input: Single- and multi-frame DICOM ultrasound images from scanners within the specified compatibility range, including apical four-chamber and parasternal long-axis cardiac views and lung scans.
Who uses it?Intended users: Qualified healthcare professionals trained to conduct echocardiography and lung ultrasound scans; certified healthcare professionals interpret the data and remain responsible for scan quality and diagnosis.
What does the software produce?Output: Lung A-line and B-line presence or count and per-frame or per-clip quality scores; cardiac LVEF, interventricular-septum and posterior-wall thickness from the PLAX view, IVC minimum diameter on inspiration, IVC maximum diameter on expiration, and cardiac quality scores.
What is its most important limitation?Key limitation: The device is for adults and patient-management decisions must not rely solely on its analysis. Certified healthcare professionals must review the data and ensure scan quality and diagnostic appropriateness. The packet establishes module-specific validation, not a single performance result for every possible ultrasound use.
Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: Non-invasive processing of adult ultrasound for cardiac measurements including LVEF, wall thickness, and IVC diameter, plus lung and cardiac image-quality feedback in patients with suspected disease.
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA validation evaluated left-ventricular wall thickness and IVC measurements in 100 subjects each against the average of three experts: ICC 0.93 for IVSd (95% CI 0.89-0.96), 0.94 for PWd (0.89-0.97), 0.93 for IVC minimum diameter (0.90-0.95), and 0.94 for IVC maximum diameter (0.90-0.96). Quality AI used 184 patients, 226 clips, and 29,732 frames, with ICC 0.94 for frames (95% CI 0.94-0.95) and clips (0.92-0.95). In real-time testing, 396 scans were performed by 26 users, including 18 novices with two hours of training; 98.3% and 98.0% were conditional agreement proportions against expert quality ratings.

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Exact purpose
Non-invasive processing of adult ultrasound for cardiac measurements including LVEF, wall thickness, and IVC diameter, plus lung and cardiac image-quality feedback in patients with suspected disease.
Qualified healthcare professionals trained to conduct echocardiography and lung ultrasound scans; certified healthcare professionals interpret the data and remain responsible for scan quality and diagnosis.
Real-time acquisition-quality feedback and measurement support; the algorithm/API modules are intended as accessories integrated by a programmer into a legally marketed ultrasound imaging device, while clinicians remain responsible for interpretation and management.
Single- and multi-frame DICOM ultrasound images from scanners within the specified compatibility range, including apical four-chamber and parasternal long-axis cardiac views and lung scans.
Lung A-line and B-line presence or count and per-frame or per-clip quality scores; cardiac LVEF, interventricular-septum and posterior-wall thickness from the PLAX view, IVC minimum diameter on inspiration, IVC maximum diameter on expiration, and cardiac quality scores.
The device is for adults and patient-management decisions must not rely solely on its analysis. Certified healthcare professionals must review the data and ensure scan quality and diagnostic appropriateness. The packet establishes module-specific validation, not a single performance result for every possible ultrasound use.
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

ACR exact-submission catalog context
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for AI Platform 2.0 (AIP002); FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.
