What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
BU-CAD is a software application indicated to assist trained interpreting physicians in analyzing the breast ultrasound images of patients with soft tissue breast lesions suspicious for breast cancer who are being referred for further diagnostic ultrasound examination. Output of the device includes regions of interest (ROIs) and lesion contours placed on breast ultrasound images assisting physicians to identify suspicious soft tissue lesions from up to two orthogonal views of a single lesion, and region-based analysis of lesion malignancy upon the physician's query. The region-based analysis indicates the score of lesion characteristics (SLC), and corresponding BI-RADS categories in user-selected ROIs or ROIs automatically identified by the software. In addition, BU-CAD also automatically classifies lesion shape, orientation, margin, echo pattern, and posterior features according to BI-RADS descriptors. BU-CAD may also be used as an image viewer of multi-modality digital images, including ultrasound and mammography. The software includes tools that allow users to adjust, measure and document images, and output into a structured report (SR). Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the basis of analysis by BU-CAD.
The product code's definition, from FDA's classification record. A radiological computer assisted detection and diagnostic software for suspected lesions is an image processing device intended to aid in the detection, localization, and characterization of lesions suspicious for cancer on acquired medical images (e.g., mammography , MR, CT, ultrasound, radiography). The device detects, identifies and characterizes lesions suspicious for cancer based on features or information extracted from the images, and may provide information about the presence, location, and characteristics of the lesion to the user. Primary diagnostic and patient management decisions are made by the clinical user.

A device's authorized use is a sentence the record can be read against. What Apodicta does on a medical record is that reading: every line of a note, a claim or a report proved to its source or held, before it renders.
