Nanox Receives FDA Clearance for Upgraded Version of Advanced AI Cardiac Solution

HealthCCSng V2.0 introduces additional ‘zero calcium’ categorization of coronary artery calcium and generates a numerical calcium score with corresponding CAC detection category output.


Aug. 21, 2024 — NANO-X IMAGING LTD recently announced that its deep-learning medical imaging analytics subsidiary, Nanox.AI, received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for HealthCCSng V2.0.

HealthCCSng V2.0 is the upgraded version of Nanox.AI’s cardiac solution, HealthCCSng, which has already shown tangible results in several healthcare systems, identifying patients at high risk of coronary artery disease while driving significant revenue to cardiology departments. It has also been seamlessly integrated with existing picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and electronic medical records (EMR) systems, and enabled timely and appropriate preventive care.

HealthCCSng utilizes medical imaging data from routine non-gated, non-contrast CT scans that include the entire heart of adult patients of ages 30-85 to automatically measure coronary artery calcium (CAC), which is the number one risk predictor for a future cardiovascular event. The product aims to leverage the high utilization of CT scans in the medical care environment, including lung cancer screening programs, to automatically detect calcification in the coronary arteries of patients in an opportunistic manner. Patients with the highest category of CAC levels are over 13 times more likely to suffer a cardiac event.

The device output is available to radiologists as part of their standard workflow. A list of studies that received a successful algorithm analysis result will also be available for further clinical assessment by cardiologists, general practitioners and other medical professionals.

“We are pleased to receive another regulatory clearance from the FDA for our AI cardiac solution, with new updates that reflect our commitment to providing healthcare professionals with the tools they need,” said Erez Meltzer, Nanox Chief Executive Officer. “The AI cardiac solution helps to bridge the divide between radiology and cardiology, two medical specialties that often use different terms and descriptions to assess imaging data, and catches patients who might otherwise fall through the cracks so that they can be directed to appropriate preventative healthcare. We will continue exploring opportunities to seamlessly integrate our AI solutions with healthcare systems and clinician workflows, and ultimately enhance patient care and outcomes.”
