What FDA cleared it for
The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.
VBrain is a software device intended to assist trained medical professionals, during their clinical workflows of radiation therapy treatment planning, by providing initial object contours of known (diagnosed) brain tumors (i.e., the region of interest, ROI) on axial T1 contrast-enhanced brain MRI images. Section 5. K203235 Vysioneer Inc. Traditional 510(k) Premarket Submission VBrain Section 5. VBrain uses an artificial intelligence algorithm (i.e., deep learning neural networks) to contour (segment) brain tumor on MRI images for trained medical professionals’ attention, which is meant for informational purposes only and not intended for replacing their current standard practice of manual contouring process. VBrain does not alter the original MRI image, nor does it intend to be used to detect tumors for diagnosis. VBrain is intended only for generating Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) contours of brain metastases, meningiomas, and acoustic neuromas on axial T1 contrast-enhanced MRI images; It is not intended to be used with images of other brain tumors. The user must know the tumor type when they use VBrain. VBrain is intended to be used on adult patients only. Medical professionals must finalize (confirm or modify) the contours generated by VBrain, as necessary, using an external platform available at the facility that supports DICOM-RT viewing/editing functions, such as image visualization software and treatment planning system.
The product code's definition, from FDA's classification record. To provide semi-automatic or fully-automated radiological image processing and analysis tools for radiation therapy. Software implementing artificial intelligence (AI) including nonadaptive machine learning algorithms trained with clinical and/or artificial radiological images. In these devices, the algorithm training images typically impact device performance. AI based radiological image processing software is intended to be used in the workflow of radiation therapy. Adaptive AI algorithms are not within the scope of this product code. Primary radiation dose calculation or plan optimization for treatment planning are not within scope of this product code.

Where this fits
This page is a record, not medical advice and not a safety rating. It copies FDA's fields and FDA's statement, and lists what the statement's text mentions. Read the labeling before relying on any of it.
