Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.5)
“Centricity Universal Viewer is an Internet based medical image display and interpretation software product that is part of a picture archiving and communications system that assists radiologists and cardiologists in their diagnostic workflows.”
AlgorithmThe Cath Tools algorithm provides functionality for Stenosis Analysis, Left ventricular analysis, Catheter calibration (Point to Point, Calibration extension), and Distance measurement.
source quote (p.6)
“The Centricity Universal Viewer architecture and SOUP software and software core algorithms have not changed. The Cath Tools algorithm has not changed. Cath Tools adds functionality that already existed in K063628 onto the Centricity Universal Viewer software technology stack. The following tools are available to help perform an analysis of images received as a result of a catheterization procedure: 1. Stenosis Analysis 2. Left ventricular analysis 3. Catheter calibration • Point to Point • Calibration extension 4. Distance measurement”

    recall event 96375 (openFDA)

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 2026-07-08.

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.
