Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.3)
“Quantib™ Brain is a non-invasive medical imaging processing application that is intended for automatic labeling, visualization, and volumetric quantification of segmentable brain structures from a set of magnetic resonance (MR) images.”
Algorithmatlas-based segmentation, histogram analysis and trained classifiers
source quote (p.6)
“Atlas-based segmentation is the technological principle for both devices. ... Histogram analysis and trained classifiers are used in combination with atlas-based tissue segmentation to improve the accuracy and specificity of WMH segmentation.”

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-09-02.

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 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Radiology panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
