Bunkerhill Contrast CAC

BunkerHill Health

Bunkerhill Contrast CAC is a software device intended for use in detecting presence and estimating quantity of coronary artery calcification for adult patients aged 30 years and above. The device automatically analyzes non-gated, contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) images collected during clinical care and outputs the region of interest (intended for informational purposes only) and quantification of detected calcium. The output of the subject device is made available to the physician on-demand as part of his or her standard workflow. The device-generated quantification can be viewed in the patient report at the discretion of the physician, and the physician also has the option of viewing the device-generated calcium region of interest in a diagnostic image viewer. The subject device output in no way replaces the original patient report or the original non-gated, contrast-enhanced CT scan; both are still available to be viewed and used at the discretion of the physician. The device is intended to provide information to the physician to provide assistance during review of the patient's case. Results of the subject device are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis and are solely intended to aid and provide information to the physician. In all cases, further action taken on a patient should only come at the recommendation of the physician after further reviewing the patient's results.

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.

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

Output and human action
The device outputs: (1) a region of interest (ROI) applied to a copy of the original CT scan indicating the location of detected coronary artery calcification (for informational purposes only); (2) quantification of the overall coronary artery calcification burden as an estimated volume score in mm3; and (3) a binary output indicating presence or absence of coronary artery calcification. Results are available on-demand to the physician via patient report and diagnostic image viewer.

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 in the described input, output, or workflow; exact interfaces, versions, and local compatibility require 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.
