Bunkerhill Contrast CAC

BunkerHill Health

Detect, localize, and estimate the burden of coronary artery calcification on contrast-enhanced chest CT during clinical 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.

  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
DICOM non-gated, contrast-enhanced chest CT images from adult patients age 30 or older, with slice thickness up to 5 mm.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
Informational ROI on a copy of the original CT showing detected coronary calcium; estimated overall calcium volume score in mm3; binary presence/absence output; results can be viewed in a patient report or diagnostic viewer/PACS, with optional copy/insert or DICOM Secondary Capture.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
The intended input is non-gated contrast-enhanced chest CT with slice thickness up to 5 mm and adults age 30 or older. The ROI is informational only; outputs do not replace the original report or scan and are not for stand-alone use. Pivotal testing was retrospective and its exact case count is not stated in the packet.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
Interfaces with compatible commercially available CT systems; DICOM CT input and output viewing in a diagnostic viewer/PACS are described. A separate ROI series and optional DICOM Secondary Capture/report insertion are supported in the packet; exact deployment topology is not established.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
  • Vendor confirmation
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08

Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending

The model card does not establish every supported DICOM object, transfer method, or local interface.

ACR exact-submission catalog context

ACR AI Central provides an exact-submission model card for Bunkerhill Contrast CAC; FDA labeling remains controlling for clinical use, limitations, and performance.

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
FDA packet: stand-alone retrospective pivotal study from multiple sites across three U.S. geographic regions; exact pivotal sample size is not stated. Endpoints covered detection, localization/ROI, precision/recall, correlation, and volume agreement. A 50-case bridging study compared volume on contrast-enhanced images with the same patients' non-contrast images.

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 K260166. 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.
