Cerner PowerWorks

Nothing recorded yet. See the Cerner PowerWorks review.

Ibex Medical Analytics

  • The European IVDR indication is broader than the United States position, where some applications operate under laboratory developed test arrangements rather than FDA authorisation, which determines whether AI output can influence a signed report.
  • It requires a fully digitised histopathology workflow, and slide scanning, storage and validation typically cost several times the algorithm licence.
  • Running it as a second read safety net adds a discrepancy resolution workload that departments consistently underestimate, and someone senior has to adjudicate every flag.
  • Coverage is limited to breast, prostate and gastric, so a general histopathology department still reads the majority of its case mix without any AI support.
  • Pricing is per case and unpublished, so cost scales directly with biopsy volume and does not flatten as the department grows.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Ibex Medical Analytics: Is Ibex FDA cleared?

The regulatory position differs by product and market. In Europe the products carry CE marking under IVDR for defined diagnostic indications; in the United States some applications are used under laboratory developed test arrangements. Confirm the exact status for the specific application and market before assuming it can influence a signed report.

Ibex Medical Analytics: Second read or prescreening?

Both are supported. Second read as a safety net is the more common clinical governance justification; prescreening is the efficiency case.

Ibex Medical Analytics: Does it need a particular scanner?

It ingests from the major whole slide scanner vendors rather than requiring a single fleet, which is a practical advantage over vendors tied to one scanner.

Ibex Medical Analytics: What tissue types are covered?

Breast, prostate and gastric. Everything else in the case mix is unsupported.
