General Intended Use Statement
Aikenist QuickSuite software products are intended to be used by, or under the direct supervision of, licensed and board-certified healthcare professionals only. The Software is designed as a computer-aided detection and analysis tool to assist qualified radiologists and clinicians in the review and analysis of medical imaging studies.
The Software is NOT intended for use as a standalone diagnostic device and must NOT be used as the sole basis for any clinical decision. The Software is intended to support — not replace — the professional judgment of a licensed, qualified radiologist or clinician.
6. Clinical Warnings & Limitations
CRITICAL SAFETY NOTICE: The AI outputs generated by the Software — including detections, measurements, scores, segmentations, and drafted reports — are decision-support aids only. They must be reviewed, verified, and confirmed by a licensed, board-certified radiologist or appropriate clinical specialist before any clinical action is taken. The ultimate responsibility for all Clinical Decisions rests solely with the treating physician and the patient.
Specific Clinical Limitations
- The Software's AI models are trained and validated on defined populations and imaging protocols. Performance may vary outside validated parameters, patient demographics, scanner types, or imaging conditions.
- The Software may generate false positive or false negative results. Missed detections (omission errors) and incorrect detections (commission errors) are inherent limitations of all AI-based image analysis systems.
- AI Outputs must always be interpreted in the context of the patient's full clinical history, presenting symptoms, physical examination findings, and other relevant diagnostic information.
- The Software is not validated for use in emergency triage as a standalone decision-making tool. Where the Software provides prioritization or alert features (e.g., stroke detection alerts), these are intended to supplement — not replace — established clinical triage protocols.
- Performance metrics published by Aikenist (e.g., 92% stroke sensitivity, <1 second inference time) are based on multi-centre clinical validation studies under controlled conditions and may not reflect real-world performance in all deployment environments.
- The Software processes only imaging studies that meet specified eligibility criteria (modality, resolution, patient age, body part). Studies that do not meet these criteria may produce unreliable or invalid AI Outputs.
Eligible Input Data Requirements
AI outputs are only reliable for imaging studies meeting the following minimum criteria. The Software should not be applied to studies outside these parameters:
| Modality | Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Chest X-Ray | Patient Age | 6 years and above |
| Chest X-Ray | Modality | CR / DR / DX only |
| Chest X-Ray | View | AP or PA projection only |
| Chest X-Ray | Minimum Resolution | 1440 × 1440 pixels |
| Chest X-Ray | Format | DICOM (.dcm) |
| Brain CT | Series Type | Non-contrast axial, consistently spaced |
| Brain CT | Patient Age | Over 18 years |
| Brain CT | Slice Thickness | Maximum 6mm |
| MRI (All) | Field Strength | 1.5T or 3.0T systems |
User Responsibility
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all personnel accessing the Software are appropriately qualified, trained, and licensed to use AI-assisted radiology tools in your jurisdiction. Aikenist specifically disclaims all liability for outcomes arising from use of the Software by unqualified or unlicensed personnel, or from use outside the stated intended use parameters.
7. Product-Specific Intended Use
Aiken QuickFlow
QuickFlow is a radiology workflow management and RIS (Radiology Information System) platform intended for use by radiology departments, imaging centers, and hospitals to streamline scheduling, patient flow, worklist management, and billing processes. QuickFlow is not a diagnostic tool and does not generate clinical AI outputs. Its workflow automation and notification features are administrative aids and must be overseen by qualified radiology department personnel.
Aiken QuickScan
QuickScan is an AI-based MRI acceleration and CT dose-reduction software intended to reduce scan acquisition time (up to 4× for MRI) and radiation exposure (up to 50% dose reduction for CT) while maintaining diagnostic image quality. QuickScan is intended for use only by licensed radiologists and qualified MRI/CT technicians operating on validated scanner hardware. Image quality adequacy for diagnostic purposes must be confirmed by the responsible radiologist for each study.
Aiken QuickDiag
QuickDiag is a multi-organ AI diagnostic assistance suite providing computer-aided detection and quantitative analysis across the following sub-modules:
- OncoSuite: Tumor detection, segmentation, and RECIST lesion tracking for multi-organ oncology workflows. Intended to assist oncologists and radiologists — not to replace formal oncology assessment.
- StrokeSuite: Acute stroke detection, ASPECTS scoring, hemorrhage identification, and TBI analysis. Clinical sensitivity of approximately 92% in validation studies. Intended to assist in stroke pathway prioritization under direct neurologist or radiologist oversight.
- XraySuite: Chest X-ray analysis for pneumonia, pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, and pulmonary nodule detection. All findings require radiologist verification before clinical reporting.
- Aiken BMD: Automated bone mineral density measurement and T-score reporting from CT images. Results must be interpreted by the responsible radiologist or clinician in the context of the patient's full clinical picture.
- Aiken Adipo: Visceral and subcutaneous fat quantification for metabolic risk stratification. Intended as a quantitative aid — not a standalone clinical assessment.
- Calcium Scoring (CACS): Automated coronary artery calcium scoring with Agatston score calculation. Must be reviewed and reported by a qualified radiologist or cardiologist.
Aiken QuickRad
QuickRad is a cloud-based PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) and radiology reporting platform. It provides archiving, viewing, AI-assisted reporting, voice dictation, and teleradiology capabilities. All clinical reports generated through QuickRad must be reviewed, verified, and electronically signed by a licensed radiologist before being issued. The Gen AI reporting feature drafts reports from AI findings and must not be issued without radiologist review and attestation.
Aiken AI Platform
The Aiken AI Platform is a GPU-accelerated compute platform providing 12+ onboard AI models for multi-organ segmentation, 3D reconstruction, volumetric measurement, and image enhancement. All AI outputs are delivered as DICOM SR structured reports and are intended as quantitative aids for the responsible radiologist. No AI output from the Platform should be used for Clinical Decisions without radiologist review and sign-off.
8. User Account & Security Responsibilities
