Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typesamd
source quote (p.6)
Brain WMH is a software as a medical device (SaMD) that provides automatic quantification of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) based on magnetic resonance (MR) images to assist trained medical professionals.
Algorithmartificial intelligence-based algorithm
source quote (p.6)
Brain WMH employs an updated artificial intelligence-based algorithm for WMH segmentation, whereas the predicate device uses a different machine learning approach.
Adaptive (vs locked)No
PCCPNo
Cybersecurity addressedNo

diceas written: “Dice coefficient0.58CI ± 0.21
source quote (p.8)
The standalone performance of Brain WMH segmentation, as measured by Dice coefficient (0.58 ± 0.21) was higher than the standalone performance of the predicate device and fell within the range of interobserver variability.
accuracyas written: “WMH labeling accuracy (longitudinal validation)97.1
source quote (p.8)
The longitudinal validation demonstrated high accuracy in WMH labeling across scans acquired from the same patient (97.1% correctly labelled).

Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.

drift signals on this device

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.
