Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The FDA package describes processing of FFDM and DBT studies and localized outputs; exact DICOM, PACS, worklist, and image-return routing require local testing.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Deployment and data flow
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

The exact installed deployment, hosting, service, and operational boundary is not established by the reviewed public FDA material.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

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.

Training and support
Only qualified interpreting physicians and trained breast-imaging professionals. should operate or interpret this product. Local onboarding must cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.

Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.

Deployment boundary

The exact installed deployment, hosting, service, security, and operational boundary remains unverified and requires site-specific confirmation.

Clinical acceptance

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. The software is an adjunct and not a primary breast-cancer interpretation or standalone diagnosis or treatment tool. Qualified physicians must review the complete study and account for acquisition and image-quality limits.
