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: Provides a parallel triage workflow for head CT images with suspected intracranial hemorrhage and/or mass effect for radiologist prioritization.

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview

Clinical takeaway

Clinical role: Provides a parallel triage workflow for head CT images with suspected intracranial hemorrhage and/or mass effect for radiologist prioritization.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: Separate retrospective trials at over 20 sites reported ICH sensitivity 0.899, mass-effect sensitivity 0.964, mass-effect specificity 0.911, and notification time 0.23 minutes; the printed ICH specificity interval is internally invalid and is not used.

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 DICOM and HL7 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 2026-09-09

Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.

Training and support

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
The exact-identifier FDA recall query returned no native recall record for K193351. This limited result does not establish absence of recalls or other safety information and does not cover later versions, family records, MAUDE reports, corrections, or field notices.
