The device is intended to assist physicians by providing the user with a four category Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) of plaques, which present a risk for coronary artery disease.
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.
Exact purpose
The device is intended to assist physicians by providing the user with a four category Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) of plaques, which present a risk for coronary artery disease.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-01
Exact-submission indication text from the ACR AI Central model card. FDA labeling remains controlling.
The device generates a four-category output corresponding with the estimated quantity of coronary artery calcium detected: very low (Agatston 0), low (Agatston 1-100), medium (Agatston 101-400), and high (Agatston >=400). It also provides preview axial images of the detected calcium for informational purposes only, and a preliminary summary report including the CAC detection category and number of slices containing CAC.

Integration
Standards-based DICOM/PACS integration was identified in the FDA submission materials; compatibility with a specific PACS, RIS, EHR, or orchestrator requires confirmation.

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

ACR AI Central summarizes the regulatory study; consult the exact FDA materials before comparative use.
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
Pricing and total cost
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13
FDA submission materials do not establish current commercial pricing. Request the pricing unit, term, minimum commitment, implementation fees, and included support from the vendor.
Reimbursement and coding

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.

Open questions to take to the vendor
Verify workflow role: Confirm whether the tool is concurrent reading, triage, post-processing, planning, acquisition support, or another workflow role.
Verify security and privacy controls: 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.
Verify training: Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.
Verify pricing and total cost: FDA submission materials do not establish current commercial pricing. Request the pricing unit, term, minimum commitment, implementation fees, and included support from the vendor.
Verify reimbursement and coding relevance: Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.
Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.
Verify recalls and postmarket safety signals: 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 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.
