Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.10)
“eyonis® LCS is a software-only device, aka Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).”
source quote (p.5)
“eyonis® LCS is an Al/ML technology-based end-to-end CADe/CADx Software as Medical Device (SaMD) intended to allow early detection, localization and characterization of pulmonary parenchymal nodules from LDCT DICOM images produced during Chest CT examinations. ... These algorithms employ proprietary Al and Machine Learning models trained with large databases containing proven examples of lung cancer lesions and benign nodules. ... A chain of medical image processing and machine learning techniques are implemented. The device includes 'deep learning' modules for recognition of suspicious lesions. These modules are trained with very large databases of cancer and normal patients proven by biopsy or follow-up.”

Postmarket — what happened after clearance
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.
