cvi42 Software Application

Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Inc.

View, post-process, and qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate cardiovascular MR and CT images in DICOM format to obtain diagnostic information as part of a comprehensive diagnostic decision-making process.

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
View, post-process, and qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate cardiovascular MR and CT images in DICOM format to obtain diagnostic information as part of a comprehensive diagnostic decision-making process.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Intended users
Qualified medical professionals experienced in examining and evaluating cardiovascular MR or CT images.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Care setting and population
Clinical cardiovascular imaging workflow; the FDA packet permits stand-alone or networked use but does not specify a facility type.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Workflow role
Post-acquisition viewing and post-processing with qualitative and quantitative measurement, semi-automatic segmentation, calcium scoring, vessel analysis, and reporting for clinician-led diagnostic review.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
Previously acquired cardiovascular MR and CT images in DICOM format from cardiovascular MR or CT scanners; the packet limits analysis to cardiac images and states that the machine-learning modules are intended for adults.

  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
Display and reconstruction tools plus measurements including distance, area, volume, mass, signal intensity, Agatston score, stenosis, velocity, strain, cardiac function metrics, and semi-automatic cardiac segmentation; also calcium scoring, coronary centerline analysis, vessel stenosis evaluation, lesion reporting, and key images.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
The device must not be used to view or analyze non-cardiac body parts. The semi-automated machine-learning modules are intended for adults. Results support a comprehensive physician decision process and do not replace clinician review. The packet reports no clinical study was necessary for substantial equivalence; module-specific validation results are not a global diagnostic-performance claim.

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

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

Integration
Accepts uploaded DICOM data and does not interface directly with acquisition equipment; results are available on screen and can be saved. The FDA packet describes stand-alone or networked use and DICOM compliance but does not establish a specific PACS, RIS, EHR, or local interface version.

Deployment and data flow
On-premise
  • Public source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.

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
  • Vendor confirmation
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08

Current training prerequisites, competency checks, and support commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
  • Vendor confirmation
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-08

Current drift, quality, uptime, alert, escalation, and incident-response commitments for the exact configuration require vendor confirmation.

Input or output interoperability

DICOM is explicitly referenced in the described input, output, or workflow.

exact submission · checked 2026-09-01

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 cvi42 Software Application; 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 verification and validation covered non-ML outputs and machine-learning modules. Validation used 235 anonymized patient images with component-specific counts: 70 coronary, 102 calcium, 63 SAX function, 63 each for 2-, 3-, and 4-chamber LAX function, and 252 function-classification samples. Reported ranges were 97%-100% series classification, 7%-10% SAX and 5%-9% LAX volumetric MAE, 86%-99% calcium classification, 82%-94% coronary centerline performance, and 98%-100% coronary-mask performance. Cardiac CT segmentation reported LV MAE below 10%, Dice above 86%, Hausdorff distance below 9.5 mm, and EF bias 1.3% (95% CI -12 to 14); RV MAE below 18%, Dice above 85%, Hausdorff distance below 18 mm, and EF bias -5.5% (95% CI -15 to 4.4); LV-myocardium MAE below 17%, Dice above 82%, and Hausdorff distance below 15 mm.

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 K242781. 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.
