FDA-cleared profile
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
AI-Rad Companion Engine is a Siemens cloud platform for multimodality, multivendor DICOM validation, storage, basic visualization, routing, and integration of optional post-processing extensions.
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.
Confirm the controls against the exact contracted architecture and release.
Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, and outputs to K183272 before acceptance.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-03Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.
DICOM input/output, tag validation, extension interfaces, confirmation UI, configuration UI, and preconfigured DICOM-node transfer; validate each extension and destination independently.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-03Test 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. K183272 clears the engine, not every optional extension or disease-specific claim. Each extension needs its own regulatory, version, input, output, and performance mapping; the engine stores metadata rather than functioning as a complete archive.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-03Define stop-use, escalation, rollback, and revalidation triggers before production use.
Model capital and recurring cost against net staff time after review, throughput, repeat imaging or rework, room time, consumables, infrastructure, training, service, downtime, upgrade, and replacement costs.
product family · checked 2026-09-03Vendor productivity claims are scenario inputs, not guaranteed local savings.
Monitor by exact hardware, software and model 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 the limits that matter for this product: K183272 clears the engine, not every optional extension or disease-specific claim. Each extension needs its own regulatory, version, input, output, and performance mapping; the engine stores metadata rather than functioning as a complete archive.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-03Revalidate 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.
Sensitivity is not the primary applicable endpoint for this acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, planning, guidance, or quantitative-biomarker function. Use the task-specific endpoints and tested population reported below.
Specificity is not the primary applicable endpoint for this acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, planning, guidance, or quantitative-biomarker function. Use the task-specific endpoints and tested population reported below.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

Manufacturer evidence submitted for substantial equivalence; local clinical, technical, 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 configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating hardware or license basis, enabled features, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
No separate named-product payment identified in reviewed public material

Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
A zero-result exact-identifier search does not prove that no recall, correction, adverse-event report, or product-family safety signal exists.

Research record
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact FDA materials, current product-family sources, selected clinical literature, reimbursement context, and exact-identifier recall candidates were reviewed. Pricing, contracted services, enabled options, final security architecture, and local interoperability remain organization-specific evidence. Automated exact-name discovery found 20 PubMed and 1 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
