Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

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 qualified imaging professionals and physicians trained for the represented anatomy and workflow. should operate or interpret the product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.

Release and scope verification

Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, and outputs to P980025 before acceptance.

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

Interoperability acceptance

DICOM import and output to PACS, reporting, or downstream systems; validate identifiers, series selection, measurements, units, geometry, routing, and round trips.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-03

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 result is not a final assessment and applies only to supported Carestream or Trophy RVG image sources and the labeled tooth-surface scope.

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 2026-09-03

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

Reimbursement and coding
No separate named-product Medicare payment was identified in the reviewed CMS coverage material. Evaluate the product within the applicable imaging, procedural, or surgical service line and verify payer, site-of-service, and coding 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
FDA recall Z-1537-2015 concerned LOGICON Caries Detector version 5.0 released without prior FDA approval; FDA lists the recall as terminated. Confirm the installed version and regulatory history.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-03

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

1 native-identifier FDA recall candidate awaits human confirmation of the exact product, version, and affected configuration before publication.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA materials, available current product-family sources, reimbursement context, and exact-identifier postmarket results were reviewed. Pricing, contracted services, enabled options, final security architecture, and local interoperability remain organization-specific evidence. Automated exact-name discovery found 6 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 1 postmarket candidate record; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 1 remains unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
