MedCognetics Receives FDA Clearance for Enhanced AI Breast Imaging Software

MedCognetics, Inc. has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for CogNet AI-MT+, its enhanced AI-enabled radiological computer-aided triage and notification software. The device is cleared under 21 CFR 892.2080 for Radiological Computer Aided Triage and Notification Software as a Class II medical device with Product Code QFM. The FDA determined the device to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, permitting commercialization in the United States.

CogNet AI-MT+ integrates into existing imaging systems to help radiologists manage increasing imaging volumes by flagging suspicious 3D mammography exams for prioritized review. This technology is part of MedCognetics' comprehensive CogNet AI platform, designed to enhance radiologists' capabilities by expanding insights and awareness in medical imaging. The platform employs advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect early signs of cancer across all ethnicities, reflecting the company's mission to improve health equity through unbiased AI.

The software platform is trained on a diverse global patient dataset to mitigate data bias, addressing concerns about algorithmic fairness in medical AI applications. By providing accurate care for patients worldwide, this technology represents a significant advancement in breast cancer screening capabilities. The clearance expands MedCognetics' regulatory footprint in AI-driven breast imaging, building upon previous FDA clearances for related technologies.

As imaging volumes continue to increase in healthcare systems, tools like CogNet AI-MT+ offer potential solutions for workflow optimization and early detection improvement. The technology's ability to prioritize suspicious exams could lead to faster diagnosis and treatment initiation for patients with concerning findings.
