Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.5)
“icobrain aria is a software-only device for assisting radiologists with the detection and quantification of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) on brain MRI scans of Alzheimer's disease patients under an amyloid beta-directed antibody therapy.”
source quote (p.6)
“The image processing implemented in icobrain aria for ARIA-E and ARIA-H detection and segmentation is based on deep learning technology.”
Validation studies (2)
Standalone
n=199 patients · 100 site(s)
endpoints: Diagnostic performance testing for distinguishing (on the case-level) between no ARIA-E and (mild, moderate or severe) ARIA-E, for distinguishing between no ARIA-H and (mild, moderate or severe) ARIA-H, and for distinguishing between severity levels for ARIA-E and ARIA-H, respectively.; Detection performance, measured as (finding-level) detection rate, false positive rate and misclassification rate (the latter only for ARIA-H) for individual findings (ARIA-E sites of involvement, ARIA-H new microhemorrhages, ARIA-H new areas of superficial siderosis).

Reader study (MRMC)
n=199 cases
endpoints: The co-primary study endpoints were the difference between assisted and unassisted detection of ARIA-E and ARIA-H (considering in turn either microhemorrhages, superficial siderosis, or both) independently, assessed with the area under the empirical receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), where the reader assessments for ARIA severity were compared against ground truth obtained via a consensus of 3 experts.; Secondary endpoints evaluated the difference in diagnostic performance of detecting mild ARIA in the subgroup of cases with no and mild ARIA, and in discriminating moderate-or-severe ARIA versus no-or-mild ARIA, for ARIA-E and ARIA-H (considering in turn either microhemorrhages, superficial siderosis, or both), independently.
standards: 21 CFR 892.2090, FDA guidance document "Clinical Performance Assessment: Considerations for Computer-Assisted Detection Devices Applied to Radiology Images and Radiology Device Data" (issued Sept 2022).

Postmarket — what happened after clearance
Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device). Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.
Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid
Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).
