Constellation (CON-001)

Q Bio, Inc.

Constellation is intended for non-invasive labeling and calculation of quantitative measurements for anatomical regions using whole-body DICOM MR images gathered on a GE MR450W. It is intended for healthy adult patients and may be used as a clinical decision-support tool, but not in triage events, emergency medicine, or critical care; a clinician retains responsibility for diagnosis.

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.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The exact FDA package describes whole-body DICOM MR input from a GE MR450W and quantified labels, measurements, whole-body visualization, and PDF reporting; verify the installed scanner, study identity, routing, report, and archive behavior.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

This is a partial interface boundary described in the exact FDA package; current local compatibility, routing, identity, archive, and downtime behavior still require acceptance testing.

Deployment and data flow
The exact FDA package describes internal-server hosting on off-the-shelf hardware; current infrastructure, contracts, security, availability, and site configuration remain unknown.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

This is a partial release-level topology fact from the exact FDA package; current hosting, contracts, security, availability, and site configuration remain separate evidence.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

Training and support
Only trained physicians and mri professionals qualified for the labeled system and applications should operate or interpret the product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Monitoring and change control
Monitor K241280 by exact hardware, software, model, and algorithm version; patient population; anatomy; protocol; operator; input quality; output edits or overrides; failed studies; repeat acquisition or rework; downstream impact; downtime; incidents; recalls; and updates. Track these product-specific limits: The exact indication is limited to healthy adults and excludes triage, emergency medicine, and critical care; Constellation is not intended as the sole source of diagnosis.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

This is buyer-facing monitoring guidance derived from the exact cleared scope; it is not a claim that the FDA package provides a live monitoring service.

Release and scope verification

Map installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K241280 before acceptance.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared or authorized release includes them.

Deployment boundary

The exact FDA package describes internal-server hosting on off-the-shelf hardware; current infrastructure, contracts, security, availability, and site configuration remain unknown.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

FDA-described topology does not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.

Interoperability acceptance

The exact FDA package describes whole-body DICOM MR input from a GE MR450W and quantified labels, measurements, whole-body visualization, and PDF reporting; verify the installed scanner, study identity, routing, report, and archive behavior.

Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.

Clinical acceptance

Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. The exact indication is limited to healthy adults and excludes triage, emergency medicine, and critical care; Constellation is not intended as the sole source of diagnosis.

Evidence

Performance evidence

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

Evidence summary
K241280 FDA decision material identifies the exact cleared or authorized product, intended use, labeled anatomy and modality, and submission-specific verification. It does not by itself establish product-wide sensitivity, specificity, outcomes, reimbursement, or independent clinical validation for this exact configuration.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Reported sensitivity
Not applicable
Not applicable Not applicable Checked 2026-09-04

Sensitivity is not promoted as a product-wide endpoint. Compare only an exact endpoint, threshold, population, version, study design, and source if separately verified.

Reported specificity

Specificity is not promoted as a product-wide endpoint. Compare only an exact endpoint, threshold, population, version, study design, and source if separately verified.

No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

K241280 FDA decision evidence package for Constellation (CON-001)

K241280

FDA decision material is manufacturer-submitted regulatory evidence. It is not independent clinical validation unless the exact source expressly establishes that distinction; local technical, clinical, privacy, security, and workflow acceptance remains necessary.

Economics and lifecycle

Budget and ongoing governance

These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

Pricing and total cost
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

No public list price for the exact cleared or authorized configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating license or hardware basis, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.

Reimbursement and coding
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

No exact-product reimbursement determination was promoted in this timeboxed review. Verify payer, site-of-service, coding, coverage, and local payment assumptions independently.

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 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K241280 by exact native submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later-version, or adverse-event information.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Exact-identifier review does not prove absence of all product-family safety signals.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Scope was limited to exact FDA decision material and exact-submission recall disposition already present in the checked snapshot. Optional literature, vendor, pricing, and deployment research was not promoted. Automated exact-name discovery found 20 PubMed and 10 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.
