Vascular Assist Occlusion Triage (VAOT) (v1.0)

GuideAI Health

VAOT is radiological computer-aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of CTA studies of adult patients. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained medical specialists in workflow prioritization by identifying studies with imaging patterns consistent with possible total arterial occlusion within the aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal arteries. VAOT analyzes CTA images in parallel with the on-going standard-of-care interpretation workflow. When predefined criteria are met, VAOT generates a notification to alert the user that the case may warrant prioritization. Notifications may include compressed preview images provided for informational purposes only and are not intended for diagnostic use. The results of VAOT are not intended for primary diagnosis, screening, disease detection, or patient management decisions. The interpreting clinician remains responsible for viewing the full imaging study according to standard clinical practice. VAOT does not detect, localize, characterize, measure, or diagnose vascular disease and does not alter the original medical 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.

Required input
CTA images or data. Inclusion criteria: CTA studies of adult patients (22 years old and greater); DICOM-compliant CTA images of the aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal arteries

Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.

Output and human action
VAOT generates a notification (triage alert) to the PACS/RIS workstation when imaging patterns consistent with possible total arterial occlusion are identified. Notifications may include compressed preview images (DICOM Secondary Capture) for informational purposes only. The device outputs a binary flag indicating whether a case may warrant prioritization due to suspected arterial occlusion in the aorta, common iliac, external iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal arteries. It does not detect, localize, characterize, measure, or diagnose vascular disease.

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, PACS, and RIS 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

Attach an exact-product deployment and data-flow source.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

FDA authorization does not establish the current commercial security posture. Request data-flow diagrams, hosting and retention details, access controls, audit logging, attestations, and incident-response documentation.

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.

Input or output interoperability

DICOM is explicitly referenced in the described input, output, or workflow.
