VUNO Med-Chest X-ray Triage/VUNO Med-CXR Link Triage

Vuno Inc.

VUNO Med-Chest X-ray Triage/VUNO Med-CXR Link Triage is a radiological computer-assisted triage and notification software that analyzes adult chest X-ray images for the presence of pre-specified suspected critical findings (pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax). VUNO Med-Chest X-ray Triage/VUNO Med-CXR Link Triage uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for features suggestive of critical findings and provides case-level output available in the PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. As a passive notification for prioritization-only software tool within standard of care workflow, VUNO Med-Chest X-ray Triage/VUNO Med-CXR Link Triage does not send a proactive alert directly to the appropriately trained medical specialists. VUNO Med-Chest X-ray Triage/VUNO Med-CXR Link Triage is not intended to direct attention to specific portions of an image or to anomalies other than pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax. Its results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making.

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

Output and human action
The AI algorithm provides a case-level output (passive notification/flag) available in the PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. When findings suspicious of pneumothorax or pleural effusion are detected, the image is flagged in the PACS/workstation/DICOM viewer. No markup is done on the original image; a secondary capture indicates the presence of suspicious findings. The average notification time is below 10 seconds.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA and recall packets were prepared and identity matched, but no new clinical or performance claim was promoted in the conservative fallback. Existing exact-submission facts retain their original source status and applicability; candidate literature remains quarantined. 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.
