Case-level triage and notification of suspected central pulmonary embolism on CTPA in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older, in parallel with standard-of-care interpretation.
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
Case-level triage and notification of suspected central pulmonary embolism on CTPA in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 years and older, in parallel with standard-of-care interpretation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-09
A pop-up/priority notification for suspected central PE with a compressed, low-quality, grayscale, unannotated preview labeled for prioritization only; the workflow prompts review of the original images in PACS.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-09
The preview is informational and not for diagnostic use beyond notification; the original image is not altered, cases are not removed or deprioritized, and clinicians must review full images with other patient information and professional judgment. The FDA packet does not specify an additional image-quality or slice-thickness exclusion.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-09
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Integration
The FDA packet describes a Linux-based cloud server receiving filtered DICOM images, an algorithm module integrated with a compatible image-communication platform and desktop workflow application, and review of original images in PACS; exact local interface compatibility is not established.

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for BriefCase-Triage; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
Evidence summary
FDA packet: retrospective, blinded, multicenter pivotal study of 328 unique cases from 6 U.S. clinical sites, with three senior board-certified radiologists using majority voting. Default sensitivity was 89.2% (95% CI 82.5%-93.9%) and specificity 94.5% (90.3%-97.2%) against an 80% goal. AOP1 sensitivity/specificity were 96.9% (92.3%-99.2%)/85.9% (80.3%-90.4%). Default time-to-notification was 29.3 seconds (95% CI 26.8-31.9; n=115); PPV 52.9%, NPV 99.2%, PLR 16.1, and NLR 0.1 are separate endpoints.

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 2026-09-09
No public price or quote for the exact K232751 configuration was established in this review.
Reimbursement and coding
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-09
No exact-product payer policy, coding instruction, or payment determination was established; eligibility must be evaluated by payer, site of service, and use case.
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
The exact-identifier FDA recall query returned no native recall record for K232751. This limited result does not establish absence of recalls or other safety information and does not cover later versions, family records, MAUDE reports, corrections, or field notices.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-09
Verify security and privacy controls: Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.
Verify training: Current training prerequisites, competency checks, and support commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.
Verify pricing and total cost: No public price or quote for the exact K232751 configuration was established in this review.
Verify reimbursement and coding relevance: No exact-product payer policy, coding instruction, or payment determination was established; eligibility must be evaluated by payer, site of service, and use case.
Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: Current drift, quality, uptime, alert, escalation, and incident-response commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA scope controls clinical claims. ACR provides bounded exact-submission catalog context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. 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.
