What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
Koios DS is an artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)-based computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) software device intended for use as an adjunct to diagnostic ultrasound examinations of lesions or nodules suspicious for breast or thyroid cancer. Koios DS allows the user to select or confirm regions of interest (ROIs) within an image representing a single lesion or nodule to be analyzed. The software then automatically characterizes the selected image data to generate an AI/ML-derived cancer risk assessment and selects applicable lexicon-based descriptors designed to improve overall diagnostic accuracy as well as reduce interpreting physician variability. Koios DS may also be used as an image viewer of multi-modality digital images, including ultrasound and mammography. The software includes tools that allow users to adjust, measure and document images, and output into a structured report. Koios DS software is designed to assist trained interpreting physicians in analyzing the breast ultrasound images of adult (>= 22 years) female patients with soft tissue breast lesions and/or thyroid ultrasounds of all adult (>= 22 years) patients with thyroid nodules suspicious for cancer. When utilized by an interpreting physician who has completed the prescribed training, this device provides information that may be useful in recommending appropriate clinical management.
