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, 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

CT acquisition, reconstruction, visualization, analysis, and professional review support.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

This is a submission-anchored intended-use summary, not a local acceptance result.

Input

Patient CT acquisitions, reconstruction data, and release-specific protocol or DICOM metadata.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

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

Output

Cross-sectional CT images, reconstructions, measurements, and release-specific derived image objects for professional review.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

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

Vendor family context

Current vendor material is product-family context for K203448 only; exact release, enabled options, deployment, and local interoperability require confirmation.

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
FDA recall Z-0221-2026 is associated with native exact submission identifier K203448. Status: Open, Classified. Product: Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. Computed Tomography X-ray System, Model:uCT ATLAS MD, Rx Only. Reason: Third-party outer covers can become trapped between patient table and gantry, causing mechanical interference during table movement.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Each published event was manually matched to the exact FDA submission and affected product or version; a recall does not establish an AI-algorithm defect or current site exposure unless the event states that scope.

recall: Z-0221-2026

Open, Classified

2025-10-21

Native exact-submission identifier match from the openFDA candidate snapshot accessed 2026-09-04 with source snapshot date 2026-09-02. Source URL: https://api.fda.gov/device/recall.json?search=product_res_number.exact%3A%22Z-0221-2026%22&limit=1. This does not establish exact installed serial, lot, unit, or software-version applicability.

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact FDA identity, indication, modality, anatomy, workflow, and limitations were reviewed using the submission as the identity anchor. Current vendor material is product-family context only. PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov candidates remain quarantined as product-family evidence because exact submission and version linkage was not established. CMS and openFDA index context was checked. Pricing, security, deployment, reimbursement, contracted services, enabled options, and local interoperability remain unknown unless separately evidenced. 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. 1 FDA recall candidate was manually reviewed: 1 published and 0 rejected as a neighboring or otherwise inapplicable version. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 1 postmarket candidate record; 1 has been reviewed (1 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

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