The list of authorized AI-enabled medical devices keeps growing

The FDA maintains a public list of AI-enabled medical devices that have been authorized for marketing, and it continues to expand across imaging, cardiology, and ophthalmology.

Why it matters

Vendors increasingly describe products as AI-powered. Whether a specific function is an authorized device is a checkable fact, not a matter of opinion.

What it means for your practice

When a vendor claims a clinical AI capability, ask whether that specific function appears on the FDA list and under what clearance. Keep the answer with your vendor file.
