HealthVCF

Zebra Medical Vision Ltd.

HealthVCF is a passive notification for prioritization-only, parallel-workflow software tool used by clinicians to prioritize specific patients within the standard-of-care bone health setting for suspected vertebral compression fractures. HealthVCF uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze chest and abdominal CT scans and flags those that are suggestive of the presence of at least one vertebral compression at the exam level. These flags are viewed by the clinician in Bone Health and Fracture Liaison Service programs in the medical setting via a worklist application on their Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). HealthVCF does not send a proactive alert directly to the user. HealthVCF does not provide diagnostic information beyond triage and prioritization, it does not remove cases from the radiology worklist, and should not be used in place of full patient evaluation, or relied upon to make or confirm 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.

Output and human action
The AI algorithm outputs a passive notification/flag to the Zebra Worklist application indicating the presence of suspected vertebral compression fracture(s) in a chest or abdominal CT scan. The device flags cases suggestive of at least one vertebral compression fracture for prioritized review by bone health clinicians. Three sagittal preview images are included for informational purposes only. No diagnostic information, markings, or treatment recommendations are provided.

Regulatory identity

FDA record and catalog context

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The exact-submission ACR model card explicitly references PACS in the described input, output, or workflow; exact interfaces, versions, and local compatibility require confirmation.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-01

Interoperability terms explicitly reported in the exact-submission ACR model card; interface versions and local compatibility still require confirmation.

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.

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
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

FDA submission materials do not establish current commercial pricing. Request the pricing unit, term, minimum commitment, implementation fees, and included support from the vendor.

Reimbursement and coding

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

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.

Automated exact-name discovery found 2 PubMed and 0 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.
