What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
ClearRead Xray Pneumothorax is a notification-only triage workflow tool for use by trained professionals to help prioritize chest X-rays. The device operates in parallel to and independent of standard of care image interpretation workflow. Specifically, the device uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for features suggestive of a pneumothorax 5 mm or larger; it makes case-level output available to a PACS/workstation for worklist prioritization or triage. Identification of cases suspected of containing a pneumothorax is not for diagnostic use beyond notification. ClearRead Xray Pneumothorax is limited to analysis of imaging data as a guide to possible urgency of adult chest X-ray image review and should not be used in lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm diagnoses. The device does not replace review and diagnosis of the X- rays by trained professionals. The device is not intended to be used with plain film X-ray.
The product code's definition, from FDA's classification record. Radiological computer-assisted prioritization software for lesions is an image processing device intended to aid in prioritization and triage of time sensitive patient detection and diagnosis based on the analysis of medical images acquired from radiological signal acquisition systems. The device identifies or prioritizes time sensitive imaging for review by prespecified clinical users based on software-based image analysis but does not provide information from the image analysis other than triage and notification.
