Authorized purpose: Assist hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists by flagging suspected acute cervical-spine fractures on cervical-spine CT for triage and prioritization; it is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures.
Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

What does this software do?Authorized purpose: Assist hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists by flagging suspected acute cervical-spine fractures on cervical-spine CT for triage and prioritization; it is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures.
Which images or clinical context are in scope?Modality: CT/CTA Anatomy or clinical context: Cervical spine; acute cervical-spine fractures including non-displaced lines and displaced fragments Input: DICOM non-contrast cervical-spine CT studies including at least five visible cervical vertebrae; the device filters and processes received series and transmits results to a worklist application.
Who uses it?Intended users: Hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists.
What does the software produce?Output: Active positive or negative notification for suspected acute cervical-spine fracture, worklist prioritization, and a compressed grayscale unannotated preview labeled not for diagnostic use; result files can be transferred to a PACS or workstation.
What is its most important limitation?Key limitation: The device is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures. Previews are informational and not diagnostic, the original image is unchanged, and notified clinicians must review full images under standard of care. The indication is for the cervical-spine CT scope and acquisition requirements described above.
Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: Assist hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists by flagging suspected acute cervical-spine fractures on cervical-spine CT for triage and prioritization; it is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures.
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA retrospective multicenter, multinational, blinded standalone testing used 328 anonymized cases, including 155 positive and 173 negative cases, with ground truth by consensus of three U.S.-board-certified expert radiologists. Sensitivity was 90.3% (95% CI 84.5%-94.5%) and specificity was 91.9% (95% CI 86.8%-95.5%). Mean time to notification for all cases was 2.9 minutes (95% CI 2.7-3.0; median 2.6; range 1.0-6.8); for 140 true-positive cases, mean time was 2.8 minutes (95% CI 2.6-3.0).

Exact purpose
Assist hospital networks and appropriately trained physician specialists by flagging suspected acute cervical-spine fractures on cervical-spine CT for triage and prioritization; it is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures.
Parallel CT triage and notification that marks suspected cases for earlier worklist attention, while requiring full-image review and clinical judgment.
DICOM non-contrast cervical-spine CT studies including at least five visible cervical vertebrae; the device filters and processes received series and transmits results to a worklist application.
Active positive or negative notification for suspected acute cervical-spine fracture, worklist prioritization, and a compressed grayscale unannotated preview labeled not for diagnostic use; result files can be transferred to a PACS or workstation.
The device is not designed to detect vertebral compression fractures. Previews are informational and not diagnostic, the original image is unchanged, and notified clinicians must review full images under standard of care. The indication is for the cervical-spine CT scope and acquisition requirements described above.
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Integration
CINA-CSpine can integrate with the CINA Platform or another medical image communications device using DICOM, CT or other DICOM nodes, worklist, and PACS/workstation output in a hospital radiology department. Specific local interfaces and deployment configuration are not established.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.

ACR exact-submission catalog context
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for CINA-CSpine; 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. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.
