Authorized purpose: VBrain assists trained professionals in radiation-treatment planning by providing initial contours of known or diagnosed brain tumors on axial contrast-enhanced T1 brain MR images for adults with brain metastases, meningiomas, or acoustic neuromas; manual review remains required.
Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Clinical takeaway
Clinical role: VBrain assists trained professionals in radiation-treatment planning by providing initial contours of known or diagnosed brain tumors on axial contrast-enhanced T1 brain MR images for adults with brain metastases, meningiomas, or acoustic neuromas; manual review remains required.
Evidence takeaway
Evidence from the reviewed source record: The exact FDA 510(k) decision material establishes the submission identity, labeled use, inputs, population, and configuration boundary summarized here. No product-wide clinical-performance or outcome claim is promoted without an exact endpoint and version linkage.

What this tool is for
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Exact purpose
VBrain assists trained professionals in radiation-treatment planning by providing initial contours of known or diagnosed brain tumors on axial contrast-enhanced T1 brain MR images for adults with brain metastases, meningiomas, or acoustic neuromas; manual review remains required.
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
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.
The exact FDA decision material does not establish the complete deployment topology, hosting responsibility, availability, upgrade path, or service contract.
Security and privacy

Reviewed sources checked
Exact FDA submission
Checked 2026-09-04
Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.
Training and support
Only qualified radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists should operate or interpret the product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.
The exact FDA decision and checked recall snapshot do not establish a complete local postmarket monitoring protocol. Track version, population, anatomy, protocol, input quality, edits, failures, repeats, downstream effects, downtime, incidents, recalls, and updates locally.
Release and scope verification
Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K203235 before acceptance.

Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.
Exact public integration details remain incomplete; establish and test the supported input, output, identity, routing, archive, report, and downtime contract locally.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04
Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.
Use a signed local test set for the exact labeled population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. Generated or modified contours and plans require qualified review, editing when needed, independent checks, and final approval before treatment.

Define stop-use, escalation, rollback, and revalidation triggers before production use.
Model capital and recurring cost against net staff time after review, throughput, repeat imaging or rework, room time, consumables, infrastructure, training, service, downtime, upgrade, and replacement costs.
product family · checked 2026-09-04
No exact-product price was found in reviewed public material; productivity or value claims require local evidence.
Monitor by exact hardware, software, model, and algorithm version; patient population; anatomy; protocol; operator; input quality; output edits or overrides; failed studies; repeat acquisition or rework; downstream impact; downtime; incidents; recalls; and updates.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-04
Revalidate after material software, hardware, model, protocol, interface, or clinical-policy changes. No exact native-submission recall record was found in the checked snapshot; this does not exclude other product-family or later signals.
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.
Evidence summary
The exact FDA 510(k) decision material establishes the submission identity, labeled use, inputs, population, and configuration boundary summarized here. No product-wide clinical-performance or outcome claim is promoted without an exact endpoint and version linkage.
Values reported in the exact-submission materials. Consult the linked source for endpoint, threshold, population, and confidence interval before comparison.
No exact submission-linked specificity endpoint with a verified population, threshold, tested version, and source was promoted.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

K203235
Manufacturer evidence submitted for the exact FDA decision. It is not independent clinical validation, and local technical, clinical, privacy, security, and workflow acceptance remains necessary.
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

No public list price for the exact cleared configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating license or hardware basis, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
Reimbursement and coding
No separate named-product Medicare payment was identified in the reviewed CMS radiation-oncology material. Evaluate net planning or delivery value within the radiotherapy service line.
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
Postmarket safety review
The 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K203235 by exact native submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later, or adverse-event information.

The refreshed discovery snapshot contains 7 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Discovery metadata alone does not establish exact tested-product, version, population, and endpoint applicability, so all candidates remain quarantined and none was promoted. The current discovery snapshot contains 7 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
