DALLAS, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) ("Spectral AI" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted De Novo Classification for its DeepView System. With this classification, Spectral AI is authorized to commence commercial distribution activities in the United States. The DeepView System is intended for use in burn care in various settings, including burn centers, trauma centers, and emergency departments.
"We are pleased that the FDA has recognized our novel technology. I am grateful for our dedicated team of employees and this milestone represents the culmination of years of hard work. Our ability to obtain FDA De Novo classification is a defining moment in Spectral AI's history and a validation of our shared vision to bring to market our innovative predictive medical technology that provides a Day One diagnostic assessment of a burn wound's healing potential," said Vincent Capone, Chief Executive Officer.
"Today we celebrate a watershed moment in the history of Spectral AI," said Dr. J. Michael DiMaio, Chairman of the Board of Spectral AI. "Adhering to a mantra of Finance- Focus, and Finish, we are now positioned to commence commercialization of the DeepView System, which we believe has the potential to redefine the standard of care in the assessment and treatment of burn wounds. We are confident that this pioneering technology will provide value across the healthcare ecosystem by improving patient outcomes and aligning care quality with cost efficiency."
About the DeepView System
Spectral AI's DeepView System is a non-invasive, predictive medical device which combines multispectral imaging with a proprietary AI algorithm to assess the healing potential of areas within the burn wounds. The DeepView System provides clinicians with an immediate, data-driven assessment of whether areas within burn wounds are unlikely to heal within 21 days and may require significant medical intervention, enabling earlier and more informed treatment decisions. The image acquisition takes 0.2 seconds, and all image processing and AI model classification takes approximately 20 to 25 seconds. The DeepView System is trained and tested against a proprietary and clinically validated database of over 340 billion pixels of burn wound image data.
