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
Automatic standard-view classification, frame extraction, and acquisition-protocol assessment during second- or third-trimester fetal ultrasound.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Qualified, trained healthcare professionals in a professional prenatal ultrasound environment, including sonographers, MFMs, OB/GYNs, and fetal surgeons
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Acquisition and interpretation support: classifies standard views, extracts representative frames, and assesses whether documented views satisfy a center-defined acquisition protocol.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Fetal 2D ultrasound images and video clips from transabdominal probes during second- or third-trimester examinations, at 18 weeks of gestation or later, for pregnant women aged 18 or older and single pregnancies.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Automatic classification of fetal heart and abdomen standard views, extracted example frames from video clips, acquisition-protocol assessment, and annotated DICOM files displayed in a DICOM viewer with optional web-interface display; generated annotated DICOM files cannot be modified by the user.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Not intended for multiple pregnancies. The packet limits intended/validated use to transabdominal examinations at 18 weeks of gestation or later and to General Electric, Philips, Samsung, and Siemens ultrasound devices; standard-view classification is not a disease-detection endpoint.

Integration
Cloud-based, stand-alone software that operates on DICOM files, displays annotated DICOM outputs in a DICOM viewer, and may also display them in a device web interface. Specific PACS/RIS interfaces and local compatibility are 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 BrightHeart View Classifier; 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 bench validation used 2,290 clinically acquired images and video frames from 579 fetal ultrasound examinations at 18 weeks of gestation or later, from eight centers. A sonographer and an MFM specialist independently established the standard-view reference. Mean standard-view recognition sensitivity was 0.939 (95% CI 0.917-0.960) and specificity was 0.984 (95% CI 0.973-0.996). Validation used GE, Philips, Samsung, and Siemens ultrasound devices and separate training and testing examinations.

Pricing and total cost
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
No public price or quote for the exact K251456 configuration was established in this review.
Reimbursement and coding

Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
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 K251456. 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 2026-09-08
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 K251456 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.
