FDA-cleared profile
GE Medical Systems Ultrasound and Primary Care Diagnostics
Vscan Air is a wireless handheld point-of-care ultrasound system for broad adult, pediatric, and neonatal applications. K250087 adds deep-learning automatic bladder-volume measurement and compatibility with separately cleared Caption Guidance and AutoEF functions.
Clinical fit
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Added in P2 round17 from the exact FDA decision material; later product-family claims remain separate.
Regulatory identity
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Implementation
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Public materials reviewed for this batch do not establish the complete security posture for the exact release. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, support-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

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. Auto bladder volume, Caption Guidance, and AutoEF have distinct labeling and populations. Confirm compatible probe, app, mobile device, country, feature license, and clinical setting.

Monitor by exact hardware, software and model 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. Track the limits that matter for this product: Auto bladder volume, Caption Guidance, and AutoEF have distinct labeling and populations. Confirm compatible probe, app, mobile device, country, feature license, and clinical setting.

Evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
Sensitivity is not the primary applicable endpoint for this acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, planning, guidance, or dose-delivery function. Use the task-specific endpoints and tested population reported below.
Specificity is not the primary applicable endpoint for this acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, planning, guidance, or dose-delivery function. Use the task-specific endpoints and tested population reported below.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

Economics and lifecycle
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 hardware or license basis, enabled features, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
No separate named-product payment identified in reviewed public material

Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
A zero-result exact-identifier search does not prove that no recall, correction, adverse-event report, or product-family safety signal exists.

Research record
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
Twenty PubMed records and eight trial records were screened. Some concern Vscan Air or handheld ultrasound, but they predate or do not identify the exact K250087 release with its cleared bladder, Caption Guidance, and AutoEF functions. No evidence was promoted, and all 28 candidates remain quarantined. The current discovery snapshot contains 20 PubMed and 8 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.
