CINA-iPE

Avicenna.AI

CINA-iPE is a radiological computer-aided triage and notification software indicated for use in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced CT scans (not dedicated CTPA protocol) for other clinical indications than pulmonary embolism suspicion, including at least a part of the lung. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and appropriately trained radiologists in workflow triage by flagging and communicating suspected positive findings for incidental Pulmonary Embolism (iPE). The device is indicated for adults and transitional adolescents (18 to 21 years old but treated as adults). CINA-iPE uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected incidental PE on a standalone application in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notifications for cases with suspected incidental PE findings.The device is not designed to detect PE in subsegmental arteries. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and are not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image, and it is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of CINA-iPE 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 ultimately responsible for reviewing 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.

Output and human action
The AI model outputs notifications/flags for cases with suspected incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE) findings. Cases are marked with an icon on the worklist (passive notification) and active notifications are sent for flagged series. A compressed, grayscale, unannotated preview image marked 'not for diagnostic use' is displayed. The device enables worklist prioritization of suspected iPE cases.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
Standards-based DICOM/PACS integration was identified in the FDA submission materials; compatibility with a specific PACS, RIS, EHR, or orchestrator requires confirmation.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Normalized from the prior exact-submission review. Confirm interface versions and local compatibility during technical evaluation.

Deployment and data flow
On-premise
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor 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.

Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.

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
