Viz ICH

Viz.ai, Inc.

Authorized purpose: Notification-only, parallel workflow tool for hospital networks and trained clinicians that analyzes acute non-contrast brain CT and communicates suspected intracranial hemorrhage to a neurovascular or neurosurgical specialist for review.

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: Notification-only, parallel workflow tool for hospital networks and trained clinicians that analyzes acute non-contrast brain CT and communicates suspected intracranial hemorrhage to a neurovascular or neurosurgical specialist for review.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA K210209 reports 387 NCCT studies from two U.S. clinical sites, with approximately 50.6% ICH-positive and 49.4% ICH-negative cases; trained neuroradiologists established ground truth. Overall sensitivity was 95% (95% CI 91%-98%) and specificity 96% (95% CI 92%-98%), meeting the prespecified 80% goals. AUC was 0.97, and mean alerting time was 0.49+/-0.08 minutes versus 18.3+/-14.2 minutes for standard-of-care notification; AUC and latency are separate endpoints. Subgroup estimates were reported by site, age, gender, hemorrhage subtype, slice thickness, scanner manufacturer/model, volume threshold, and reconstruction method.

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

Exact purpose
Notification-only, parallel workflow tool for hospital networks and trained clinicians that analyzes acute non-contrast brain CT and communicates suspected intracranial hemorrhage to a neurovascular or neurosurgical specialist for review.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Intended users
Hospital networks and trained clinicians; notifications are directed to neurovascular or neurosurgical specialists, with treating-physician discussion required before care decisions.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Care setting and population
Acute hospital-network workflow parallel to standard-of-care interpretation; image analysis is hosted on Viz.ai servers and notifications are available through the mobile module.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Workflow role
Parallel specialist-notification and communication workflow; it prioritizes review without marking or altering original images and is not a diagnostic or full-patient-evaluation substitute.

  • Checked 2026-09-09
Required input
Acute-setting non-contrast CT images of the brain from DICOM-compliant imaging devices and modalities.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Output and human action
Notification of suspected intracranial hemorrhage to a neurovascular or neurosurgical specialist, push/toggle notifications, patient/study/image DICOM information, and a compressed non-diagnostic CT preview through the Viz VIEW mobile application.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Limitations
Mobile previews may be compressed and are informational only, not diagnostic beyond notification. Clinicians must view non-compressed images on a diagnostic viewer, perform full patient evaluation, and discuss care with the treating physician; the device must not be relied on to make or confirm a diagnosis.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The image-analysis algorithm is hosted on Viz.ai servers and receives DICOM studies forwarded from CT scanners; the Viz VIEW mobile module provides notifications and non-diagnostic previews. The packet does not establish a specific PACS/RIS/EHR route, interface version, or current commercial configuration.

Evidence summary
FDA K210209 reports 387 NCCT studies from two U.S. clinical sites, with approximately 50.6% ICH-positive and 49.4% ICH-negative cases; trained neuroradiologists established ground truth. Overall sensitivity was 95% (95% CI 91%-98%) and specificity 96% (95% CI 92%-98%), meeting the prespecified 80% goals. AUC was 0.97, and mean alerting time was 0.49+/-0.08 minutes versus 18.3+/-14.2 minutes for standard-of-care notification; AUC and latency are separate endpoints. Subgroup estimates were reported by site, age, gender, hemorrhage subtype, slice thickness, scanner manufacturer/model, volume threshold, and reconstruction method.

Reported sensitivity
Overall Viz ICH sensitivity: 95% (95% CI 91%-98%) across 387 NCCT studies from two U.S. sites, with ground truth established by trained neuroradiologists.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09

The 80% figure is the prespecified goal; AUC, alert latency, and subgroup sensitivity are separate endpoints.

Reported specificity
Overall Viz ICH specificity: 96% (95% CI 92%-98%) across the same 387 NCCT studies.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09

This corrects the active-row mixture of 95% and 80% and keeps overall specificity distinct from subgroup estimates and AUC.

No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

The refreshed discovery snapshot contains 2 PubMed and 2 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 2 PubMed and 2 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.
