Authorized purpose: Passive worklist prioritization for suspected pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax on frontal PA or AP chest radiographs in transitional adolescents aged 18-21 and adults aged 22 years and older; not diagnostic or a rule-out function.
Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview
What does this software do?Authorized purpose: Passive worklist prioritization for suspected pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax on frontal PA or AP chest radiographs in transitional adolescents aged 18-21 and adults aged 22 years and older; not diagnostic or a rule-out function.
Which images or clinical context are in scope?Modality: X-ray/Radiography Anatomy or clinical context: Chest/lung Input: Frontal PA or AP chest X-ray images from transitional adolescents aged 18-21 and adults aged 22 years and older, received from PACS or other DICOM storage; lateral views and excluded ages are not processed.
Who uses it?Intended users: Appropriately trained medical specialists qualified to interpret chest radiographs
What does the software produce?Output: A newly generated DICOM secondary-capture series with study-level status and tags such as CASE PROCESSED, NOT PROCESSED, SUSPECTED FINDING, SUSPECTED PLEURAL EFFUSION, and SUSPECTED PNEUMOTHORAX, plus the number of images received and processed.
What is its most important limitation?Key limitation: Prioritization only; the contextual notification is not diagnostic, is not intended for standalone clinical decision-making, and is not a rule-out result. Unflagged studies still require specialist interpretation, the device does not direct attention to a specific image portion, and out-of-scope views or ages are not processed.
Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: Passive worklist prioritization for suspected pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax on frontal PA or AP chest radiographs in transitional adolescents aged 18-21 and adults aged 22 years and older; not diagnostic or a rule-out function.
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA K232410 reports two independent standalone performance assessments, each using 300 US chest X-ray cases and a reference standard formed by majority consensus of three ABR-certified cardiothoracic radiologists. For pneumothorax, AUC was 0.989, sensitivity 92.7% (95% CI 87.4-96.2), and specificity 97.3% (95% CI 93.4-99.1). For pleural effusion, AUC was 0.975 (95% CI 0.960-0.987), sensitivity 93.3% (95% CI 88.1-96.4), and specificity 90.0% (95% CI 84.1-94.1). Execution time was reported separately for local and cloud servers.

Exact purpose
Passive worklist prioritization for suspected pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax on frontal PA or AP chest radiographs in transitional adolescents aged 18-21 and adults aged 22 years and older; not diagnostic or a rule-out function.
Passive notification and worklist prioritization in parallel with standard of care; the device does not send a proactive alert, reorder or remove cases, or direct attention to a specific image location.
Frontal PA or AP chest X-ray images from transitional adolescents aged 18-21 and adults aged 22 years and older, received from PACS or other DICOM storage; lateral views and excluded ages are not processed.
A newly generated DICOM secondary-capture series with study-level status and tags such as CASE PROCESSED, NOT PROCESSED, SUSPECTED FINDING, SUSPECTED PLEURAL EFFUSION, and SUSPECTED PNEUMOTHORAX, plus the number of images received and processed.
Prioritization only; the contextual notification is not diagnostic, is not intended for standalone clinical decision-making, and is not a rule-out result. Unflagged studies still require specialist interpretation, the device does not direct attention to a specific image portion, and out-of-scope views or ages are not processed.
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Integration
Chest radiographs are automatically received from PACS or other DICOM storage and results are passively returned as a new DICOM series to the worklist platform. The packet describes local and cloud server execution contexts but does not establish a specific PACS/RIS interface, version, or current deployment model.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for SmartChest; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.
