Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Post-deployment monitoring, drift thresholds, alerting, and revalidation commitments for the exact configuration require vendor and site confirmation.

Release and scope verification

Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K254013 before acceptance.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

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

Interoperability acceptance

Receives PET DICOM through a medical device data system and returns enhanced DICOM while retaining the original images.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

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 software processes images and does not control the scanner; original and enhanced images must be distinguished, and clinical interpretation remains with the physician.

This submission was added after the prior exact-submission extraction and remains queued for source review. Exact FDA decision material was reviewed for identity and labeled use. Optional literature, trial, and recall candidates were not promoted without exact product or version applicability; commercial, security, and performance claims remain unknown where not established. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 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 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
