Critical Care Suite is a suite of AI algorithms for the automated image analysis of frontal chest X-rays acquired on a digital x-ray system.
Critical Care Suite with the Endotracheal Tube Positioning AI algorithm produces an on-screen image overlay that detects and localizes an endotracheal tube, locates the endotracheal tube tip, locates the carina, and automatically calculates the vertical distance between the endotracheal tube tip and carina. This information is also transmitted to the radiologist for review.
Intended users include licensed qualified healthcare professionals (HCPs) trained to independently place and/or assess endotracheal tube placement and radiologists.
Critical Care Suite with the Endotracheal Tube Positioning AI Algorithm should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or solely relied upon to make or confirm a diagnosis. It is not intended to replace the review of the X-ray image by a qualified healthcare professional. Critical Care Suite with the Endotracheal Tube Positioning AI Algorithm is indicated for adult-sized patients.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
