FDA-cleared profile

BraveCX

Bering Ltd

BraveCX is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software that analyzes adult (≥18 years old) chest Xray images for the presence of pre-specified suspected critical findings (pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax). BraveCX uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for features suggestive of critical findings and provides caselevel output available in the PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. As a passive notification for prioritization-only software tool within standard of care workflow, BraveCX does not send a proactive alert directly to the appropriately trained medical specialists. BraveCX is not intended to direct attention to specific portions of an image or to anomalies other than pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax. Its results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making.

Evidence status: each field shows source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established in reviewed sources, and vendor documentation pending are distinct outcomes.

Clinical fit

What this tool is for

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.

Required input
XRAY images or data. Inclusion criteria: Adult patients (>=18 years old); Anteroposterior (AP) and Posteroanterior (PA) chest X-ray images in DICOM format
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-01

Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.

Output and human action
The software outputs a label of 'flag' or '(blank)' indicating the likelihood of presence of pneumothorax and/or pleural effusion. Results are displayed through the worklist interface of PACS/workstation for prioritization. No markup is placed on the original image; a secondary capture of the finding is generated. An on-device technologist notification is generated within 15 minutes after interpretation.

Regulatory identity

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The exact-submission ACR model card explicitly references DICOM and PACS in the described input, output, or workflow; exact interfaces, versions, and local compatibility require confirmation.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-01

Interoperability terms explicitly reported in the exact-submission ACR model card; interface versions and local compatibility still require confirmation.

Deployment and data flow
Hybrid
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

FDA authorization does not establish the current commercial security posture. Request data-flow diagrams, hosting and retention details, access controls, audit logging, attestations, and incident-response documentation.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.

Input or output interoperability

DICOM is explicitly referenced in the described input, output, or workflow.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-01

The model card does not establish every supported DICOM object, transfer method, or local interface.

Result destination

PACS and workstation are explicitly referenced as a result destination.

Economics and lifecycle

Budget and ongoing governance

These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

Pricing and total cost
Vendor documentation pending

Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.

Safety and lifecycle

Postmarket record

Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Postmarket safety review
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Automated exact-name discovery found 1 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.
