Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.5)
“Ezra Flash is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) consisting of a software algorithm that enhances images of the head region taken by MRI scanners.”
Algorithmconvolutional neural network-based filtering
source quote (p.7)
“Ezra Flash software implements an image enhancement algorithm using a convolutional neural network-based filtering. Original images are enhanced by running through a cascade of filter banks, where thresholding and scaling operations are applied. These filters result in a single machine learning model that reduces noise. The parameters of the filters were obtained through an image-guided optimization process.”
Adaptive (vs locked)No

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.
