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.
Clinical fit
What this tool is for
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Exact purpose
Diagnostic ultrasound; assisted abdominal FAST acquisition and anatomical labeling
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-05
FAST Auto Assist is Android-only, adult-limited and available with S4-1/C5-2 transducers. Anatomical labels do not establish free-fluid diagnosis or replace clinician interpretation.

System indications span multiple organs, including fetal/obstetric, abdominal, pediatric, cephalic, urologic, gynecologic, cardiac, vascular, musculoskeletal and lung imaging. FAST Auto Assist is abdominal only.
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
Evidence summary
FDA review includes a retrospective FAST labeling evaluation of 82 emergency-department patients and 229 loops, plus a separate 20-patient clinical bench evaluation. These are anatomical-labeling studies, not evidence of improved trauma outcomes.

Separate limited 20-patient clinical bench evaluation is also described. Independent test data do not establish independent study sponsorship.
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 2026-09-05
A regional Philips subscription page did not establish current US pricing or inclusion of this FAST feature, hardware and support.
Reimbursement and coding
Research pending
Needs research Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-05
No applicable current payer policy was reviewed. An older vendor ultrasound coding guide is not current CMS coverage evidence for FAST Auto Assist.
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.

Open questions to take to the vendor
Verify security and privacy controls: No scoped, dated security attestation for the proposed mobile-device and PACS configuration was reviewed.
Verify training: Required local onboarding, competency assessment and FAST-specific training package were not established.
Verify pricing and total cost: A regional Philips subscription page did not establish current US pricing or inclusion of this FAST feature, hardware and support.
Verify reimbursement and coding relevance: No applicable current payer policy was reviewed. An older vendor ultrasound coding guide is not current CMS coverage evidence for FAST Auto Assist.
Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: Site-level label-error monitoring, update controls and support commitments remain to be confirmed.
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.
