Lunit Gets 510(k) Clearance for Chest X-ray Triage Software

November 17, 2021

South Korea-based Lunit has received the FDA’s 510(k) clearance for its artificial intelligence (AI)-based chest x-ray triaging software, Lunit Insight CXR Triage.

The triage system prioritizes urgent cases, such as pleural effusion and pneumothorax, notifying physicians immediately after the exam to enable them to make a faster diagnosis.

The software, which was “trained” using more than 160,000 chest radiographs with computed tomography images, offers 94-96 percent sensitivity and 95-99 percent specificity on pleural effusion and pneumothorax, the company said.
