Contour ProtégéAI

MIM Software Inc.

Contour ProtégéAI creates machine-learning contours from CT and MR DICOM images to support quantitative analysis, adaptive therapy, radiotherapy planning, archiving, and follow-up; professionals must visualize, review, and edit contours, and the software is not intended to detect or contour lesions.

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

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
Standards-based DICOM/PACS integration was identified in the FDA submission materials; compatibility with a specific PACS, RIS, EHR, or orchestrator requires confirmation.
  • Public source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-08-13

Normalized from the prior exact-submission review. Confirm interface versions and local compatibility during technical evaluation.

Deployment and data flow
The exact FDA package describes MIMcloud remote-server and local workstation or server options for the Contour ProtégéAI release; verify the configured mode, data flow, security, and service boundary locally.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

This is the release-level boundary described in the exact FDA package; current hosting, contracts, security, availability, and site configuration remain separate evidence.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04

Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

Training and support
Only qualified radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists should operate or interpret the product. Local onboarding should cover the exact release, supported population, limitations, failure examples, escalation, downtime, and competency documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Monitor K213976 by exact hardware, software, model, and algorithm 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 these product-specific limits: Generated contours require visualization, review, and editing; the exact labeled structures and CT or MR inputs determine applicability, and the software is not intended to detect or contour lesions.
  • FDA source

Monitoring guidance is buyer-facing implementation guidance derived from the exact cleared scope; it is not a claim that the FDA package provides a live monitoring service.

Release and scope verification

Map installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, outputs, and enabled functions to K213976 before acceptance.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.

Deployment boundary

The exact FDA package describes MIMcloud remote-server and local workstation or server options for the Contour ProtégéAI release; verify the configured mode, data flow, security, and service boundary locally.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

FDA-described deployment boundaries do not establish current hosting contracts, security controls, uptime, or local qualification.

Interoperability acceptance

The exact public integration contract remains incomplete; establish and test supported input, output, identity, routing, archive, and downtime behavior locally.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.

Clinical acceptance

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. Generated contours require visualization, review, and editing; the exact labeled structures and CT or MR inputs determine applicability, and the software is not intended to detect or contour lesions.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-04

Define stop-use, escalation, rollback, and revalidation triggers before production use.

Economic evaluation

Model capital and recurring cost against net staff time after review, throughput, repeat imaging or rework, room time, consumables, infrastructure, training, service, downtime, upgrade, and replacement costs.

product family · checked 2026-09-04

No exact-product price was found in the reviewed public material; productivity or value claims require local evidence.

Lifecycle monitoring

Monitor K213976 by exact hardware, software, model, and algorithm 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 these product-specific limits: Generated contours require visualization, review, and editing; the exact labeled structures and CT or MR inputs determine applicability, and the software is not intended to detect or contour lesions.

Revalidate after material software, hardware, model, protocol, interface, or clinical-policy changes. radiotherapy planning or image-processing software limits remain submission-specific.

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.

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 2026-09-02 openFDA device-recall snapshot contained no record matched to K213976 by exact native submission identifier. This does not exclude product-family, later, or adverse-event information.

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact-name and exact-submission searches in the checked 2026-09-01 indexes returned no PubMed records and no ClinicalTrials.gov records for K213976; review status is candidate_review_pending. Literature and registry candidates remain quarantined unless exact submission and tested-version linkage is established. The checked recall disposition is no exact-submission recall record was promoted; ambiguous or family-only candidates are not published. Pricing, complete security architecture, contracted deployment, exact reimbursement, and local interoperability remain unverified. 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.
