Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.3)
“AmCAD-UV is a software device designed for classifying the ultrasonic color intensity data and allowing users to view classified color-coded signals, namely, primary pulsatile, secondary pulsatile, and unidentified signals of flow Doppler ultrasound images.”
Algorithmclassification method of ultrasonic color intensity data
source quote (p.9)
“Based on classification method of ultrasonic color intensity data contained in the dynamic flow Doppler ultrasound images (i.e. color and power Doppler ultrasound images).”
Adaptive (vs locked)No
PCCPNo
Cybersecurity addressedNo

sample size not stated

Reported performance (0 observations)

FDA source did not state a quantitative performance metric — non-reporting is itself the signal.

Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.

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.
