Optellum Virtual Nodule Clinic vs United Imaging uAI
K202300, cleared March 5, 2021 under code POK, is Optellum's only openFDA record. It covers the LCP-CNN score on lung CT for pulmonologists and radiologists, and the home page describes finding lung nodules, tracking them and estimating cancer risk. Optellum's reimbursement page lists CPT Category III codes 0721T and +0722T and a 2026 Medicare hospital outpatient APC 1508 rate of $650.50 (currency not stated), a national average before deductibles. A pulmonologist-led nodule clinic is the fit.
uAI is the AI line of Shanghai United Imaging Intelligence, sold with United Imaging scanners and workstations. openFDA lists uAI EasyTriage-Rib (K193271, January 15, 2021), uAI Portal (K240411, September 6, 2024) and uAI Easy Triage ICH (K242292, September 24, 2024), a triage and notification device for non-contrast head CT. A radiology department already running United Imaging scanners would take it for head CT triage.
One radiology department could run both, since nodule cancer risk and head or rib triage are separate questions.
