BriefCase, RIB Fractures Triage (RibFx)

Aidoc Medical, Ltd.

A CT triage tool that flags suspected cases with three or more acute rib fractures for prompt 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.

Product overview

Start with the essentials

A CT triage tool that flags suspected cases with three or more acute rib fractures for prompt review.

Overview status: Source-reviewed overview

Clinical takeaway

This tool provides parallel triage for suspected cases with three or more acute rib fractures; it does not replace the radiologist's full review or standard interpretation.

Evidence takeaway

The FDA submission reports sensitivity and specificity in a 279-case pivotal study for the three-or-more-fractures endpoint. It also reports a separate notification-time comparison, distinct from the diagnostic classification metrics.

Clinical details

What this tool is for

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

Exact purpose
Parallel triage and notification of suspect cases with three or more acute rib-fracture pathologies to assist hospital-network workflow prioritization; not a diagnostic device.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Intended users
Appropriately trained medical specialists, with attending radiologists receiving notifications and performing triage and full-image review.

  • Checked 2026-09-09
Care setting and population
Hospital-network workflow; the pivotal cohort included emergency-department, inpatient, and outpatient cases.

Workflow role
Preemptive triage and notification in parallel with the standard-of-care reading queue; the device does not remove, reorder, or de-prioritize unflagged cases.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Required input
DICOM chest CT images with or without contrast, received through the Aidoc Hospital Server, filtered and de-identified before processing.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Output and human action
Suspect RibFx notification containing patient name, accession number, and pathology; a compressed low-quality grayscale unannotated preview marked not for diagnostic use; and a prompt for the radiologist to open and evaluate the original series in the local PACS.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09
Limitations
The indication is limited to suspect cases with three or more acute rib fractures in chest CT. Notifications and compressed previews are informational and not for diagnosis; previews contain no finding marks, the original image is not altered, and full images must be reviewed in the local PACS with other patient information and professional judgment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
The device consists of an Aidoc Hospital Server for image acquisition, Aidoc Cloud Server for image processing, and Aidoc Worklist desktop application for workflow integration. The packet describes DICOM 3.0-compliant CT scanners, PACS, and radiology workstations, with de-identification before processing and notification return to the desktop worklist; specific local interface compatibility is not established.

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 retrospective, blinded, multicenter, multinational pivotal study used 279 new cases from three sites, with two radiologists and a third radiologist resolving inconsistencies; 91 cases were ground-truth positive and 188 negative for three or more acute rib fractures. FDA reports AUC 0.976 (95% CI 0.960-0.991), sensitivity 96.7% (95% CI 90.6%-99.4%), and specificity 90.4% (95% CI 85.2%-94.3%). A separate 67-true-positive-case workflow comparison at two US sites reported mean time-to-notification 4.2 minutes versus 89.4 minutes standard-of-care time-to-exam-open; the timing endpoint is distinct from diagnostic classification metrics.

Reported sensitivity
96.7% (95% CI 90.6%-99.4%) for identifying three or more acute rib fractures in 279 chest CT cases.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09

The FDA endpoint is subject-device sensitivity; the baseline 80% is only the study acceptance threshold and 99.4% is the sensitivity confidence-interval upper bound, not a second sensitivity result.

Reported specificity
90.4% (95% CI 85.2%-94.3%) for identifying three or more acute rib fractures in 279 chest CT cases.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-09

The FDA endpoint is subject-device specificity; the baseline 99.4% is the sensitivity confidence-interval upper bound and 80% is the study acceptance threshold.

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

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 exact-identifier FDA recall query returned no native recall record for K202992. This limited result does not establish absence of recalls or other safety information and does not cover later versions, family records, MAUDE reports, corrections, or field notices.

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 provides bounded exact-submission catalog context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 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.
