BriefCase-Triage is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of CT scans that include the cervical spine, in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 and older. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and appropriately trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of linear lucencies in the cervical spine bone in patterns compatible with fractures. BriefCase-Triage uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected findings in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for cases with suspected findings. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of BriefCase-Triage are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on their professional judgment, to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing full images per the standard of care.
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.

Exact-submission indication text from the ACR AI Central model card. FDA labeling remains controlling.
CT images or data. Inclusion criteria: CT with or without contrast that includes the cervical spine (bone and standard kernel); Scans performed on adults/transitional adults >= 18 years of age; Slice thickness: 0.3 mm - 5.0 mm

Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.
The AI model outputs a prioritization alert (pop-up notification) and a compressed, low-quality, grayscale, unannotated preview image when a suspected cervical spine fracture is detected. The output is intended for triage/prioritization purposes only and is not for diagnostic use. The device flags cases with linear lucencies in the cervical spine bone in patterns compatible with fractures.

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

Open questions to take to the vendor
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.
