Velmeni for Dentists (V4D)

Velmeni Inc.

Authorized purpose: VELMENI for DENTISTS is concurrent-read, computer-assisted detection software intended to assist dentists in the clinical detection of dental caries, fillings or restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants in digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 15 years of age or older. It provides additional information for dentists and is not a replacement for complete examination or clinical judgment; final diagnoses and treatment plans are the dentist's responsibility.

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: VELMENI for DENTISTS is concurrent-read, computer-assisted detection software intended to assist dentists in the clinical detection of dental caries, fillings or restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants in digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 15 years of age or older.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: K240003 FDA decision material identifies the exact cleared or authorized product, intended use, labeled anatomy and modality, and submission-specific verification. It does not by itself establish product-wide sensitivity, specificity, outcomes, reimbursement, or independent clinical validation for this exact configuration.

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
On-cloud
  • Public source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
  • 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 radiologists, dentists, orthopedic clinicians, and other trained radiographic professionals within the labeled use should operate or interpret the product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Monitor K240003 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.

Release and scope verification

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

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

Deployment boundary

The exact public deployment topology remains incomplete; establish hosting responsibility, data flow, availability, upgrade, service, and downtime boundaries locally.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

FDA-described topology does not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.

Interoperability acceptance

The exact public integration contract remains incomplete; establish and test supported input, output, identity, routing, archive, and downtime behavior locally.

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 FDA table reports subgroup reader-study endpoints for the exact V4D submission; do not generalize them beyond the labeled dental radiograph types, permanent-tooth population, conditions, study design, or tested version.

FDA decision material is manufacturer-submitted regulatory evidence. It is not independent clinical validation unless the exact source expressly establishes that distinction; local technical, clinical, privacy, security, and workflow acceptance remains necessary.

Costs and setup

Budget and ongoing governance

These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

Pricing and total cost
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

No public list price for the exact cleared or authorized 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
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

No exact-product reimbursement determination was promoted in this timeboxed review. Verify payer, site-of-service, coding, coverage, and local payment assumptions independently.

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
The 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K240003 by exact native submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later-version, or adverse-event information.
  • Public source
  • Exact FDA submission
