Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you ("User", "you") represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

  • Aortic root segmentation and geometric measurement
  • Valve sizing analysis and device selection support
  • Calcium scoring and distribution visualization
  • Access site planning and vascular assessment
  • Procedural simulation and reporting outputs

The Service is provided on an access-controlled basis and may be updated, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice. Features described in marketing materials may not yet be available and are subject to change.

Research Use Only

CRITICAL: QuanTAVI is strictly for research and educational use only. It is not approved, cleared, or certified for clinical diagnostic use, clinical decision support, or direct patient care in any jurisdiction.

By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • QuanTAVI has not received clearance or approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a medical device and is not CE marked for clinical use in the European Union.
  • The Service is intended solely for research, training, feasibility studies, and educational demonstration purposes.
  • Outputs, measurements, analyses, and recommendations generated by the Service must not be used, directly or indirectly, to inform clinical decisions, diagnose medical conditions, select implant devices for actual patients, guide intraoperative decisions, or substitute for the independent clinical judgment of a qualified healthcare professional.
  • All measurements and visualizations produced by the Service should be treated as preliminary research outputs only and must be independently validated before any use in connection with patient care.
  • Users accept full and sole responsibility for any consequences arising from use of the Service outside its intended research scope.

Any use of the Service for clinical purposes is a material breach of these Terms and is strictly prohibited.

Medical Disclaimer

QuanTAVI is not a medical device. The Service does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or any other professional healthcare service. Nothing in the Service or these Terms constitutes medical advice.

All clinical decisions — including but not limited to device selection, procedural planning, patient eligibility assessment, and intraoperative guidance — remain the sole professional responsibility of the treating physician and the relevant clinical team. QuanTAVI output must never be acted upon without independent expert clinical review.

The accuracy, completeness, and clinical applicability of measurements and analyses generated by the Service depend on the quality of input imaging data, correct user operation, and the inherent limitations of computational methods applied to complex anatomical structures. QuanTAVI makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or reliability of any measurement, sizing recommendation, risk score, or other output generated by the Service.

Qualified healthcare professionals using the Service for research purposes should apply their independent clinical knowledge to evaluate all outputs critically. The Service does not replace expertise, institutional protocols, or device manufacturer instructions for use.

In no event shall QuanTAVI bear any liability for patient harm, adverse clinical outcomes, or medical negligence claims arising from use of the Service in a clinical context, whether intentional or unintentional.

You may terminate your use of the Service at any time by discontinuing access and notifying QuanTAVI at [email protected].
