FDA-cleared profile
Siemens Healthcare GmBh
AI-Rad Companion Brain MR VA40 post-processes head MR images to segment and quantify brain structures and white-matter hyperintensities, compare normalized values with healthy reference data, and return visual and numeric reports for clinician review.
Clinical fit
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Regulatory identity
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Implementation
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
The FDA decision material does not establish the complete security posture for the exact product and deployment. Obtain architecture, identity, audit, encryption, retention, support-access, vulnerability-management, and incident-response evidence.
Map the installed product, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K213706 before acceptance.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.
The exact installed deployment, hosting, service, security, and operational boundary remains unverified and requires site-specific confirmation.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04FDA-described deployment details do not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.
The FDA package describes DICOM processing, PACS archiving, DICOM structured outputs, and visual overlays; exact local routing, archive, and worklist behavior require acceptance testing.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.
Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. Results depend on supported sequences, acquisition quality, segmentation scope, and reference-population applicability. Outputs are adjunctive and require clinician review; they are not a standalone diagnosis.

Model capital and recurring cost against net staff time after review, throughput, repeat imaging or rework, infrastructure, training, service, downtime, upgrade, and replacement costs.
product family · checked 2026-09-04No exact-product price or product-specific reimbursement was established in the reviewed public material.
Monitor K213706 by exact software, hardware, model, and algorithm version; patient population; anatomy; protocol; operator; input quality; output edits or overrides; failed studies; repeat acquisition or rework; downstream impact; downtime; incidents; recalls; and updates. Track these product-specific limits: Results depend on supported sequences, acquisition quality, segmentation scope, and reference-population applicability. Outputs are adjunctive and require clinician review; they are not a standalone diagnosis.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Revalidate after material software, hardware, model, protocol, interface, or clinical-policy changes.
Evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
No single product-level sensitivity value was promoted because the reviewed FDA material is workflow, module, sequence, or population specific.
No single product-level specificity value was promoted because the reviewed FDA material is workflow, module, sequence, or population specific.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

Manufacturer evidence submitted for the exact FDA decision. It is not independent clinical validation, and local technical, clinical, privacy, security, and workflow acceptance remains necessary.
Economics and lifecycle
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
No public list price for the exact cleared product version was established. Obtain a written quote separating license, implementation, interfaces, compute, storage, training, support, upgrades, renewal, and exit costs.
No separate named-product payment identified in reviewed CMS material
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services · United StatesThis is not a product-specific reimbursement determination. Verify payer, site-of-service, coding, and coverage assumptions independently.
Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Research record
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
Screened one PubMed title. It names only an automated brain-morphometry tool and does not identify AI-Rad Companion Brain MR VA40 or K213706, so it is quarantined. The current discovery snapshot contains 1 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
