BriefCase

Aidoc Medical, Ltd.

BriefCase is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of nonenhanced head CT images in adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 and older. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and appropriately trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging and communication of suspected positive findings of Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) pathologies. Briefcase uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images and highlight cases with detected findings on a Stand-Alone Performance desktop application in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation. The user is presented with notification for cases with suspected findings. Notifications include compressed preview images that are meant for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. The device does not alter the original medical image and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device. The results of BriefCase are intended to be used in conjunction with other patient information and based on their professional judgment, to assist with triage/prioritization of medical images. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing full images per the standard of care.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Output and human action
The AI model flags and sends notifications to a standalone desktop application for cases with suspected intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) findings. Notifications include compressed, low-quality, grayscale, unannotated preview images for informational/triage purposes only (not for diagnostic use). The device facilitates worklist prioritization by alerting clinicians to suspected positive ICH cases.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA scope controls clinical claims. ACR and official vendor material provide bounded catalog or product-family context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 20 PubMed and 6 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
