FDA-cleared profile
Canon Medical Systems Corporation
The device is indicated to acquire and display cross-sectional volumes of the whole body, including the head. Volume sets may be used for specialized studies by a trained and qualified physician. AiCE-i is a deep-learning noise-reduction algorithm for abdomen, pelvis, lung, cardiac, extremity, head, and inner-ear applications.
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.
Normalized from the prior exact-submission review. Confirm interface versions and local compatibility during technical evaluation.
The exact public FDA decision material does not establish the complete deployment topology, hosting responsibility, availability, upgrade path, or service contract.
Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.
This is buyer-facing monitoring guidance derived from the exact cleared scope; it is not a claim that the FDA package provides a live monitoring service.
Map installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K201836 before acceptance.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared or authorized release includes them.
The exact public deployment topology remains incomplete; establish hosting responsibility, data flow, availability, upgrade, service, and downtime boundaries locally.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04FDA-described topology does not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.
The exact public integration contract remains incomplete; establish and test supported input, output, identity, routing, archive, and downtime behavior locally.
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. Use only the cleared system, software, protocol, anatomy, population, and reconstruction limits; image quality, dose, and interpretation remain the responsibility of qualified professionals.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04Define 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.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04No exact-product price or reimbursement determination was promoted.
Monitor K201836 by exact hardware, software, 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: Use only the cleared system, software, protocol, anatomy, population, and reconstruction limits; image quality, dose, and interpretation remain the responsibility of qualified professionals.
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.
Sensitivity is not promoted as a product-wide endpoint. Compare only an exact endpoint, threshold, population, version, study design, and source if separately verified.
Specificity is not promoted as a product-wide endpoint. Compare only an exact endpoint, threshold, population, version, study design, and source if separately verified.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.
FDA decision evidence and product verification described in the exact submission or PMA decision record. · Whole body including head; abdomen, pelvis, lung, cardiac, extremity, head, and inner-ear applications

FDA decision material is manufacturer-submitted regulatory evidence. It is not independent clinical validation unless the exact source expressly establishes that distinction; 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 or authorized configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating license or hardware basis, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
No exact-product reimbursement determination was promoted in this timeboxed review. Verify payer, site-of-service, coding, coverage, and local payment 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.
Exact-identifier review does not prove absence of all product-family safety signals.

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. Scope was limited to exact FDA decision material and exact-submission recall disposition already present in the checked snapshot. Optional literature, vendor, pricing, and deployment research was not promoted. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 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.
