Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.6)
“Clarius OB Al is a machine learning algorithm that is incorporated into the Clarius App software as part of the complete Clarius Ultrasound Scanner system for use in obstetric (OB) ultrasound imaging applications.”
source quote (p.6)
“Clarius OB Al is intended for use by trained healthcare practitioners for non-invasive measurements of fetal biometric parameters on ultrasound data acquired by the Clarius Ultrasound Scanner system (i.e., curvilinear scanner) using a deep learning image segmentation algorithm. The Clarius OB Al deep neural network (DNN) model was trained using three data sets: training, validation (tuning), and testing.”
source quote (p.9)
“Ultrasound image processing software application implementing artificial intelligence utilizing non-adaptive machine learning algorithms trained with clinical and/or artificial data intended for”
source quote (p.1)
“FDA's substantial equivalence determination also included the review and clearance of your Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP).”
source quote (p.11)
“Clarius 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.”

Reported performance (3 observations)
source quote (p.13)
“ICC across all fetal biometrics between Clarius OB Al and the reviewers was calculated to be 0.99 (95% CI 0.994—0.997).”
source quote (p.13)
“The range of the average Jaccard scores (for all anatomical structures) between Clarius OB Al and the reviewers was 0.73 (95% CI 0.72--0.74) to 0.94 (95% CI 0.93--0.94)”
source quote (p.13)
“and the range of the average dice scores (for all anatomical structures) between Clarius OB Al and the reviewers was 0.84 (95% CI 0.83--0.87) to 0.97 (95% CI 0.96--0.97).”

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.
