Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider adoption for defined clinical workflows after checking the model and installed software.

Why
Alpha.Pro has documented clinical use and preliminary dose-reduction evidence. Specified Alpha, Pro and Prime configurations have an open recall involving unapproved brain-analysis applications.
Next
Check the unit against FDA recall records and confirm corrective action. Stop affected applications in patient care as instructed, and locally validate imaging protocols before expansion.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Affected brain-analysis applications must not be used in patient care
  • Recall correction status requires verification for each affected unit
  • Independent validation is uneven across Peak, Pro and Prime
  • Local protocol optimization and staff training are required
  • The inspected clinical comparison is small and retrospective
  • Patient-outcome improvements are not established by the inspected evaluation
