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 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-workflow triage and notification of suspected incidental pulmonary embolism on contrast-enhanced images that include the lungs.
Filtered DICOM contrast-enhanced images that include the lungs, including single- and dual-energy exams, from adults or transitional adolescents aged 18 or older, with axial slice thickness of 0.5-5.0 mm; studies with inadequate field of view are excluded.
A pop-up notification for a suspected incidental pulmonary embolism case and a compressed, low-quality, grayscale, unannotated preview labeled not for diagnostic use and for prioritization only; users must open the original full images in the PACS.
The preview is informational and not for diagnosis; the device does not alter original images, mark findings, remove cases from the standard-of-care queue, or independently determine diagnosis. The labeled/validated input is adult or transitional adolescent age 18 or older contrast-enhanced lung-containing imaging, with inadequate field of view excluded.
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Integration
The algorithm module runs on a Linux-based server in a cloud environment and integrates with image-communication platforms meeting the input/output requirements, a desktop image-review application, DICOM/PACS workflow, and a notification path; the packet describes de-identification, cloud upload, analysis, and return of the notification.
Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.
ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for BriefCase-Triage; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.
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
FDA packet: retrospective blinded multicenter pivotal study of 498 cases from six U.S. clinical sites with ground truth from three senior board-certified radiologists. Primary endpoints were sensitivity and specificity against an 80% performance goal; default sensitivity was 91.7% and specificity 91.4%. The secondary time-to-notification endpoint was 40.2 seconds versus 282 seconds for the predicate; PPV was 22.2%, NPV 99.8%, PLR 10.7, and NLR 0.09.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

No exact-product payer policy, coding instruction, or payment determination was established; eligibility must be evaluated by payer, site of service, and use case.
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 K250248. 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.
Verify security and privacy controls: Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.
Verify training: Current training prerequisites, competency checks, and support commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.
Verify pricing and total cost: No public price or quote for the exact K250248 configuration was established in this review.
Verify reimbursement and coding relevance: No exact-product payer policy, coding instruction, or payment determination was established; eligibility must be evaluated by payer, site of service, and use case.
Verify local validation and lifecycle monitoring: Current drift, quality, uptime, alert, escalation, and incident-response commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

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.
