FDA-cleared profile

Swoop Portable MR Imaging System

Hyperfine, Inc.

The Swoop Portable MR Imaging System is a bedside magnetic-resonance imaging device for producing images that display the internal structure of the head where a full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical; a trained physician interprets the images.

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.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
Standards-based DICOM/PACS integration was identified in the FDA submission materials; compatibility with a specific PACS, RIS, EHR, or orchestrator requires confirmation.
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Normalized from the prior exact-submission review. Confirm interface versions and local compatibility during technical evaluation.

Deployment and data flow
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Exact deployment topology, hosting, network boundaries, PHI flow, retention, update mechanism, and local operational requirements are not established for this submission.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Public sources reviewed here do not establish the complete exact-release security posture, including identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote access, vulnerability management, backup, or incident response.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.

Workflow role

Portable bedside MR image production for professional review.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Submission-anchored workflow summary, not a local acceptance or deployment result.

Input

Bedside head MR acquisitions using the exact portable system configuration.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Exact supported inputs and protocol limits must be confirmed from the complete labeling.

Output

Images displaying internal head structure for trained-physician interpretation.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Output review, editing, approval, export, and downstream use remain release- and site-specific.

Deployment evidence

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact-name and exact-submission searches in the checked 2026-09-01 literature and trial indexes returned no PubMed candidate records and no ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records for K223247; the checked openFDA snapshot returned no recall candidate records. Candidate records remain quarantined unless exact product and version linkage is established. Current vendor material is product-family context only. Pricing, complete security architecture, contracted deployment, exact reimbursement, and local interoperability remain unverified. 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.
