What FDA cleared it for

The Indications for Use statement, verbatim, from the decision document.

The qXR-BT device is intended to generate a secondary digital chest X-ray image that facilitates confirmation of the position of a breathing tube and an anatomical landmark on adult chest X- rays. This device is intended for use by licensed physicians who are trained in the evaluation of breathing tube placement on chest X-rays. The qXR-BT image provides adjunctive information and is not a substitute for the original PA/AP image. K212690 2 5 DEVICE DESCRIPTION qXR-BT is a standalone image analysis software used during the review of digital chest radiographic images, intended to facilitate determining the position of tip of the breathing tube relative to the carina. Standard of care medical imaging workflows are well established, and include pre-existing software components such as a PACS, DICOM viewer and imaging worklist; qXR-BT is designed to integrate with these components. X-rays are sent to qXR-BT by means of transmission functions within the user’s PACS system. Upon completion of processing, the qXR-BT device returns results to the user’s PACS or other user-specified radiology software system or database. The input to the qXR-BT device is a chest X-ray (AP and PA, referred to as frontal) in digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) format. The qXR-BT device produces PDF and DICOM format outputs that enable users to view the position of a breathing tube and an anatomical landmark (carina). The PDF format output contains preview images that show segmented […]
