TechCare Trauma is intended to analyze 2D X ray radiographs using techniques to aid in the detection, localization, and characterization of fractures and/or elbow joint effusion during the review of commonly acquired radiographs of: Ankle, Foot, Knee, Leg (includes Tibia/Fibula), Femur, Wrist, Hand/Finger, Elbow, Forearm, Arm (includes Humerus), Shoulder, Clavicle, Pelvis, Hip, Thorax (includes ribs). TechCare Trauma can provide results for fracture in neonates and infants (from birth to less than 2 years), children and adolescents (aged 2 to less than 22 years) and adults (aged 22 years and over). TechCare Trauma can provide results for elbow joint effusions in children and adolescents (aged 2 to less than 22 years) and adults (aged 22 years and over). The intended users of TechCare Trauma are clinicians with the authority to diagnose fractures and/or elbow joint effusions in various settings including primary care (e. g., family practice, internal medicine), emergency medicine, urgent care, and specialty care (e. g. orthopedics), as well as radiologists who review radiographs across settings. TechCare Trauma results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making. Primary diagnostic and patient management decisions are made by the clinical user.

The TechCare Trauma device is a software as Medical Device (SaMD). More specifically it is defined as a "radiological computer assisted detection and diagnostic software for suspected fractures". As a CADe/x software, TechCare Trauma is an image processing device intended to aid in the detection and localization of fractures and elbow joint effusions on acquired medical images (2D X-ray radiographs). TechCare Trauma uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze acquired medical images (2D X-ray radiographs) for features suggestive of fractures and elbow joint effusions. TechCare Trauma can provide results for fractures in neonates and infants (from birth to less than 2 years), children and adolescents (aged 2 to less than 22 years) and adults (aged 22 years and over) regardless of their condition. TechCare Trauma can provide results for elbow joint effusions in children and adolescents (aged 2 to less than 22 years) and adults (aged 22 years and over).The device detects and identifies fractures and elbow joint effusions based on a visual model's analysis of images and provides information about the presence and location of these prespecified findings to the user. It relies solely on images provided by DICOM sources. Once integrated into existing networks, TechCare Trauma automatically receives and processes these images without any manual intervention. The processed results, which consist of one or more images derived from the original inputs, are then sent to specified DICOM destinations. This ensures that the results can be seamlessly viewed on any compatible DICOM viewer, allowing smooth into medical imaging workflows. TechCare Trauma can be deployed on-premises or on cloud and be connected to multiple DICOM sources / destinations (including but not limited to DICOM storage platform, PACS, VNA and radiological equipment, such as X-ray systems), ensuring easy integration into existing clinical workflows.

SmartChest is a radiological computer assisted triage and notification software that analyzes frontal chest X-ray images (Postero-Anterior (PA) or Antero-Posterior (AP)) of transitional adolescents (18 -21 yo but treated like adults) and adults (≥22 yo) for the presence of suspected pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax. SmartChest uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze the images for features suggestive of critical findings and provides case-level output available to a PACS (or other DICOM storage platforms) for worklist prioritization. As a passive notification for prioritization-only software tool within the standard of care workflow, SmartChest does not send a proactive alert directly to a trained medical specialist. SmartChest is not intended to direct attention to a specific portion of an image. Its results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making.

Smart Chest is a radiological computer assisted triage and notification software that analyzes (Postero-Anterior (PA) and/or Antero-Posterior (AP)) of transitional adolescents (18 ≤ age ≤ 21 yo but treated like adults) and adults (22 yo ≤ age) for the presence of suspected pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax. The software utilizes Al-based image analysis algorithms to detect the findings. SmartChest provides case-level output available in the worklist prioritization by appropriately trained medical specialists qualified to interpret chest radiographs are automatically received from the user's image acquisition or storage systems (e.g., PACS, other DICOM storage platforms) and processed by SmartChest for analysis. After receiving Chest X-Ray images, the device automatically analyzes the images and identifies pre-spectied findings (pleural effusion and/or pneumothorax). Then the analysis results are passively sent by SmartChest yia a notfication to the worklist software being used (PACS, or other platforms). The results are made available via a newly generated DICOM series (containing a secondary capture image), where DICOM tags contains the following information: 1. "SUSPECTED FINDING" or "CASE PROCESSED" if the algorithm ran successfully, "NOT PROCESSED" if the algorithm receives a study containing chest images that are not part of the intended use (lateral views or excluded age for example). 2. "SUSPECTED PLEURAL EFFUSION" OR "SUSPECTED PNEUMOTHORAX" if one pre-specified finding category identified OR, 3."SUSPECTED PLEURAL EFFUSION, PNEUMOTHORAX" if the two pre-specified finding categories identified - 4. The secondary capture image returned in the storage system indicates at the study-level: - The number of images received by SmartChest, - The number of images processed by SmartChest, - The status of the study: "NOT PROCESSED", "SUSPECTED FINDING" or "CASE PROCESSED". The DICOM storage component may be a Picture Archiving and Communications (PACS) system or other local storage platforms. This would allow the appropriately trained medical specialists to group suspicious exams together that may potentially benefit their prioritization. Chest radiographs without an identified anomaly are placed in the worklist for routine review, which is the current standard of care. The device is not intended to be a rule-out device and for cases that have been processed by the device without notification for prespecified suspected findings it should not be viewed as indicating that the pre-specified findings are excluded. SmartChest device does not alter the order nor remove imaging exams from the interpretation queue. Unflagged cases should still be interpreted by medical specialists. The notification is contextual and does not provide any diagnostic information. The results are not intended to be used on a stand-alone basis for clinical decision-making. The summary image will display the following statement: "The product is not for Diagnostic Use-For Prioritization Only".
