Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.1)
“Gastrointestinal capsule endoscopy analysis software device. A gastrointestinal capsule endoscopy analysis software device is used to analyze pre-recorded capsule endoscopy videos of the gastrointestinal tract that are suspected of containing lesions. This device uses software algorithms to identify images and areas of interest as outputs to aid the clinician in analyzing suspected lesions, for clinician review of device outputs. The device may include hardware to support interfacing with a capsule imaging system.”
source quote (p.3)
“Both software algorithms are based on convolutional neural networks using different deep learning models.”
source quote (p.4)
“Regarding the cybersecurity, documentation included all the recommended information from the FDA guidance document “Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.” This includes a threat model, cybersecurity mitigation information, a malware-free shipping plan, an upgrade plan, and other information for safeguarding the algorithms.”

Predicate network
Postmarket — what happened after clearance
Not yet tracked — the weekly postmarket refresh hasn't snapshotted this device.
Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid
Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).
Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against
FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to De Novo AI/ML devices in the Gastroenterology-Urology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.
- Final guidance2021-10De Novo Classification Process (Evaluation of Automatic Class III Designation)
De Novo pathway
Final (Oct 2021), issued with the De Novo final rule. Most relevant to first-of-a-kind devices without a predicate (DEN-numbered clearances).
- Final guidance2026-01Clinical Decision Support Software
Clinical decision support · SaMD (general)
New final guidance issued Jan 2026, superseding the Sept 2022 version; narrows the device-CDS scope. Applies to software that informs clinical management.
- Final guidance2026-01General Wellness: Policy for Low Risk Devices
SaMD (general) · Clinical decision support
Revised final (Jan 2026); now addresses noninvasive products estimating physiologic parameters (SpO2, BP, glucose). Reshapes the device / non-device line for AI wellness features.
- Final guidance2025-09Computer Software Assurance for Production and Quality Management System Software
SaMD (general) · Postmarket
Final (Sept 2025). Covers software used in production/QMS (incl. ML development-pipeline tooling), superseding Section 6 of the 2002 GPSV — not device software functions themselves.
- Final guidance2025-06Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality Management System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions
Cybersecurity · Software premarket content
Reissued June 2025 (retitled 'Quality Management System', was Sept 2023 'Quality System'); adds coverage of FD&C Act §524B cyber devices.
- Final guidance2024-12Marketing Submission Recommendations for a Predetermined Change Control Plan for Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Device Software Functions
Predetermined Change Control Plan · AI/ML lifecycle · Software premarket content
