Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.5)
“Al-Rad Companion (Musculoskeletal) is software-only image post-processing application that uses deep learning algorithms to post-process CT data of the thorax.”
Algorithm3D Deep Image-to-Image network for organ segmentation, designed following a symmetric way as a convolutional encoder-decoder with 3D convolutional and bilinear upscaling layers.
source quote (p.5)
“Al-Rad Companion (Musculoskeletal) uses the same deep learning technology as in the previously cleared reference device Siemens Al-Rad Companion (Cardiovascular) (K183268). More precisely, a 3D Deep Image-to-Image network is used for organ segmentation. The main structure of the network is designed following a symmetric way as a convolutional encoder-decoder. All blocks of the network consist of 3D convolutional and bilinear upscaling layers.”
Adaptive (vs locked)FDA source did not state this
PCCPNo
Cybersecurity addressedYes
source quote (p.9)
“Siemens conforms to the cybersecurity requirements by implementing a process of preventing unauthorized access, modifications, misuse or denial of use, or the unauthorized use of information that is stored, accessed or transferred from a medical device to an external recipient. Provided in this submission is a cybersecurity statement that considers IEC 80001-1:2010. The responsibility for compliance with IEC 80001-1-2010 is the hospital.”

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 event 98206 (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 2026-08-26.

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.
