CardIQ Suite

GE Medical Systems SCS

CardIQ Suite analyzes 2D or 3D cardiac CT DICOM data for visualization and measurement of cardiovascular anatomy, coronary calcium scoring, coronary review, heart-fat estimation, and treatment or follow-up support under clinician review.

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
CardIQ Suite analyzes 2D or 3D cardiac CT DICOM data for visualization and measurement of cardiovascular anatomy, coronary calcium scoring, coronary review, heart-fat estimation, and treatment or follow-up support under clinician review.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Intended users
Qualified healthcare professionals reviewing cardiac CT; quantitative outputs are aids to clinical interpretation and decision-making.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Care setting and population
Cardiac CT, cardiology, radiology, and cardiovascular intervention planning or follow-up workflows.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Workflow role
Post-processing and visualization for coronary review, calcium scoring, cardiovascular measurements, treatment planning, and follow-up; results remain subject to clinician interpretation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Required input
Cardiac CT DICOM data, including non-contrast and angiographic studies; calcium scoring requires ECG-gated non-contrast CT with 120 kVp, 24-35 cm DFOV, and slice thickness no greater than 3 mm.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Output and human action
Agatston and calcium-volume scores by vessel and total; coronary segmentation, labeling, centerline, and lumen measurements; heart and heart-fat segmentation/estimates; percentile context; DICOM Structured Report, batch DICOM Secondary Capture, and PDF report outputs.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Limitations
Calcium scoring is protocol-dependent and requires the stated gated non-contrast CT inputs. Heart-fat information is informational; all segmentation, measurements, and follow-up outputs require qualified clinical review. The regulatory results are not independent clinical-outcome evidence.

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The exact submission processes cardiac CT DICOM data and provides DICOM SR, batch SC, and PDF report outputs; local PACS/RIS routing, identifiers, and report ingestion require acceptance testing.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Deployment and data flow
The exact submission is deployed on the GE AW Server platform; reviewed sources do not establish the current site infrastructure, hosting topology, retention, availability, or service-level boundary for a particular installation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07
Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07

The reviewed exact packet, GE product page, and DICOM conformance statement do not establish current scoped security controls, certification scope, PHI flow, retention, access control, audit, or incident response.

Training and support
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07

Reviewed sources establish qualified clinical use but do not establish an exact-version training curriculum, competency assessment, or support terms.

Monitoring and change control
Monitor protocol eligibility, calcium-score inputs, segmentation and measurement edits, report/export completeness, PACS delivery, reader overrides, failed or repeated analyses, downtime, updates, complaints, and recalls by exact K243672 release.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-07

Buyer acceptance guidance derived from the exact FDA workflow and validation scope; it is not a claimed vendor monitoring service.

AW Server deployment

The exact FDA submission runs on the GE AW Server platform and processes cardiac CT DICOM studies; confirm the installed AW Server release, compute sizing, storage, backup, and upgrade path with the site and vendor.

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.

Evidence summary
K243672 FDA evidence is a regulatory validation with heart-segmentation and heart-fat tests on 111 cardiac CT examinations and a separate lumen-diameter endpoint on 94 examinations containing 353 narrowings; overall totals and subgroup overlap were not reported, and no independent paper or trial was promoted in this timeboxed review.

K243672 CardIQ Suite heart and heart-fat regulatory validation

Retrospective regulatory validation of heart segmentation and heart-fat segmentation workflows. · 111 cardiac CT examinations used for the FDA-described heart-segmentation and heart-fat tests.

exact submission · Tested version: CardIQ Suite configuration described in K243672 · n=111 · Sponsor or vendor study

K243672

FDA reports heart-segmentation success greater than 90% and heart-fat average Dice of at least 90% in this test set; these are bounds, not observed numeric point estimates. The separate lumen-diameter endpoint used 94 examinations containing 353 narrowings; overall totals and subgroup overlap were not reported. Manufacturer-submitted regulatory evidence, not an independent clinical-outcome study.

K243672 CardIQ Suite lumen-diameter subgroup validation

Retrospective regulatory validation of lumen-diameter measurements against reference measurements. · 94 cardiac CT examinations containing 353 narrowings for the FDA-described lumen-diameter endpoint.

exact submission · Tested version: CardIQ Suite configuration described in K243672 · n=94 · Sponsor or vendor study

K243672

This endpoint uses a subgroup distinct from the 111-examination heart and heart-fat validation context. No exact total unique-case count across the subgroups is inferred. Manufacturer-submitted regulatory evidence.
