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. Clinical testing was not conducted for K232000. Segmentation can be affected by scanner calibration, reconstruction, contrast protocol, dose, motion, anatomy, organ size, orientation, and user skill; all quantitative outputs require professional review.

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
K232000 reports software verification, quantitative organ-segmentation testing, and agreement testing for tau quantification. All organs met either Dice or average symmetric surface-distance criteria, and tau SUVR comparisons on more than 700 ADNI flortaucipir images showed good correlation and agreement with an MR-based method; no clinical study was performed.

Costs and setup

Budget and ongoing governance

These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.

Pricing and total cost
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-03

No public list price for the exact cleared configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating hardware or license basis, enabled features, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.

Reimbursement and coding
No separate named-product Medicare payment was identified in the reviewed CMS coverage material. Evaluate the device within the applicable imaging or surgical service line and verify payer, site-of-service, and coding assumptions independently.

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 K232000 by exact submission identifier.
  • Public source

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. Exact FDA materials, current product-family sources, selected clinical literature, reimbursement context, and exact-identifier recall candidates were reviewed. Pricing, contracted services, enabled options, final security architecture, and local interoperability remain organization-specific evidence. Automated exact-name discovery found 18 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.
