qER

Qure.ai Technologies

qER is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software indicated for use in the analysis of non-contrast head CT images. The device is intended to assist hospital networks and trained medical specialists in workflow triage by flagging the following suspected positive findings of pathologies in head CT images: intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, midline shift and cranial fracture. qER uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images on a Stand-Alone Performance cloud-based application in parallel to the ongoing standard of care image interpretation.

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

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 K200921. 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 and official vendor material provide bounded catalog or product-family context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 20 PubMed and 2 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Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
