Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-05

FDA-described access/encryption controls are not a current scoped security certification. Hosting region, retention, contractual data controls and dated attestations were not established.

Evidence

Performance evidence

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

Evidence summary
Multicenter standalone observational evaluation of 60 CT cases, divided equally across aortic, mitral and tricuspid planning; expert manual measurements using 3mensio served as comparator. Patients were aged 62-97; 45% were male.
