source quote (p.3)
“Viz CTP is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals, including but not limited to physicians and medical technicians. The software runs on a standard "off-the-shelf" computer or a virtual platform, such as VMware, and can be used to perform image processing, analysis, and communication of computed tomography (CT) perfusion scans of the brain.”
Algorithmimage analysis algorithm that calculates cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), residue function time-to-peak (TMax), and arterial input function (AIF) from CT perfusion scans.
source quote (p.4)
“Viz CTP is a standalone software package that is comprised of several modules including DICOM receiving and sending modules, a study processor, image analysis algorithm, as well as software system components including a DICOM storage database and system health-monitoring. ... Viz CTP image analysis includes calculation of the following perfusion related parameters: Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV), Mean Transit Time (MTT), Residue function time-to-peak (TMax), Arterial Input Function (AIF)”

source quote (p.7)
“The results of performance testing showed that the Viz CTP device achieved the pre-established performance goals for AIF detection, soft matter extraction, and each perfusion parameter: cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), and time to maximum residue (TMax).”

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.
