Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.
Product overview
Start with the essentials
Authorized purpose: Triage notification of suspected appendicitis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT
Overview status: Source-reviewed overview
What does this software do?Authorized purpose: Triage notification of suspected appendicitis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT
Which images or clinical context are in scope?Modality: CT/CTA Anatomy or clinical context: Abdomen Input: Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT DICOM images
Who uses it?Intended users: Hospital networks and trained clinicians
What does the software produce?Output: Case-level text/JSON notification to PACS/RIS/workstation; no DICOM viewer, image overlay, location marking, worklist reprioritization or removal.
What is its most important limitation?Key limitation: Not a diagnostic device and does not alter the original image. Clinicians must review full images and all patient information under standard care.
Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: Triage notification of suspected appendicitis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: Retrospective blinded multisite study of 300 consecutive US CTs, 139 positive and 161 negative, with three board-certified radiologists and majority reference. Mean processing time was 3.37 minutes in the study, not a service-level commitment.

What this tool is for
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Exact purpose
Triage notification of suspected appendicitis on contrast-enhanced abdominal CT
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
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.

Open questions to take to the vendor
Verify deployment and data flow: Hosting and local network topology were not established.
Verify security and privacy controls: No scoped dated security attestation reviewed.
Verify training: Site triage escalation and notification training are unestablished.
Verify pricing and total cost: No exact product price/procurement record reviewed.
Verify reimbursement and coding relevance: No applicable payer policy reviewed.
Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: Site audit of alert delivery and missed/false alerts requires confirmation.
Verify recalls and postmarket safety signals: No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
