What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
The SKOUT system is a software device designed to detect potential colorectal polyps in real time during colonoscopy examinations. It is indicated as a computer-aided detection tool providing colorectal polyps location information to assist qualified and trained gastroenterologists in identifying potential colorectal polyps during colonoscopy examinations in adult patients undergoing colorectal cancer screening or surveillance. The SKOUT system is only intended to assist the gastroenterologist in identifying suspected colorectal polyps and the gastroenterologist is responsible for reviewing SKOUT suspected polyp areas and confirming the presence or absence of a polyp based on their own medical judgment. SKOUT is not intended to replace a full patient evaluation, nor is it intended to be relied upon to make a primary interpretation of endoscopic procedures, medical diagnosis, or recommendations of treatment/course of action for patients. SKOUT is indicated for white light colonoscopy only.
The product code's definition, from FDA's classification record. A gastrointestinal lesion software detection system is a computer-assisted detection device used in conjunction with endoscopy for the detection of abnormal lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. This device with advanced software algorithms brings attention to images to aid in the detection of lesions. The device may contain hardware to support interfacing with an endoscope.
