VELMENI for DENTISTS (V4D)

Velmeni Inc.

Authorized purpose: Assists dentists in detecting caries, fillings/restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants on digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients aged 15 years and older; final diagnoses and treatment plans remain 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.

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview

Clinical takeaway

Clinical role: Assists dentists in detecting caries, fillings/restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants on digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients aged 15 years and older; final diagnoses and treatment plans remain the dentist's responsibility.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: The proposed device remains unchanged from the predicate Velmeni for Dentists cleared under K240003, hence, no additional software testing was conducted. The intended use of both the predicate device and the proposed device is identical. The existing data from the previous testing remains applicable.

What this tool is for

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.

Exact purpose
Assists dentists in detecting caries, fillings/restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants on digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients aged 15 years and older; final diagnoses and treatment plans remain the dentist's responsibility.
  • FDA source

Care setting and population

Output and human action
The ML Engine delivers V4D's core ML capabilities through the radiograph type classifier, condition detection module, tooth numbering module, and merging module. The AI-Worker accepts radiograph analysis requests from Backend API via the Queue, passes gray scale radiographs to the ML Engine in the supported extensions (jpeg and png), and returns the ML analysis results to the Backend API.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-19

The exact device description supports the ML capabilities and returned analysis results, but it does not state the current overlay/localization wording.

Limitations
This device is not intended as a replacement for a complete examination by the dentist or their clinical judgment that considers other relevant information from the image, patient history, or actual in vivo clinical assessment. Final diagnoses and patient treatment plans are the responsibility of the dentist.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission

The exact indications for use provide the clinician-review and final-responsibility boundary; commercial deployment and pricing are not stated in the packet.

Regulatory identity

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

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-premise
  • 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
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.

Family 2D acquisition scope

The official 2D product page identifies panoramic, bitewing, and periapical X-rays as supported inputs and describes near-real-time analysis in seconds.

product family · checked 2026-09-06

Exact K250753 release output, latency measurement, and interface requirements require confirmation.

Evidence

Performance evidence

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 proposed device remains unchanged from the predicate Velmeni for Dentists cleared under K240003, hence, no additional software testing was conducted. The intended use of both the predicate device and the proposed device is identical. The existing data from the previous testing remains applicable.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-19

The exact performance section states the software-testing and existing-data boundary for the proposed device.

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 2026-09-06

Official non-FDA product sources were reviewed for buyer and workflow context, but no exact-submission amount, currency, unit, term, or implementation fee was displayed. A vendor quote remains required.

Reimbursement and coding
Research pending
  • Needs research
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-08-31

Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.

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

No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.
