The Reveos device is intended to automatically separate units of whole blood into blood components.
Device Story
Reveos is an automated, integrated manufacturing system for whole blood processing. It utilizes a centrifuge rotor with four fixed buckets to process up to four units of whole blood simultaneously. The system employs optical sensors to detect interfaces between blood components during centrifugation; a variable speed motor ensures optimal separation. Hydraulic bladders and valves control the expression of separated components (plasma, platelets, RBCs, residual leukocytes) into designated product bags. The system automatically seals tubing using radio frequency (RF) energy. Operated by trained personnel in blood centers or hospital blood banks, the device provides automated, closed-loop feedback control for component separation. This automation increases throughput compared to single-unit processing, ensuring consistent component quality and leukoreduction, which benefits patients by providing standardized, high-quality blood products for transfusion.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, open-label, multicenter study (IDE 27752) evaluated 24-hour recovery of LR-RBCs after 42-day storage. Primary endpoint: RBC 24-hour recovery using Cr-51 single label and Cr-51/Tc-99m dual label methods. Single label: 23/26 successes, mean recovery 83% (SD 9%), lower 95% CI 73%. Dual label: 24/26 successes, mean recovery 90% (SD 9%), lower 95% CI 78%. Both methods met FDA criteria (mean recovery ≥75%, SD ≤9%, lower 95% CI ≥70%). No device-related adverse events reported. Bench testing confirmed in vitro performance criteria for leukoreduction, recovery, and hemolysis.
Indicated for the automated separation of whole blood into its constituent components (plasma, platelets, red blood cells, and residual leukocytes) in blood centers or hospital-based blood banks.

BLOOD AND CELL
TECHNOLOGIES
Two device deficiencies (DDs) were reported. One resulted in removing and discarding the disposable set from evaluation. No DDs resulted in AEs.
### **E. Clinical Studies**
A clinical study was conducted to evaluate whether the leukoreduced red blood cells (LR-RBCs) derived from whole blood (WB) and processed with the Reveos System met acceptance criteria for 24-hour recovery after 42-day storage.
### **Device Performance Study**
The clinical study was a prospective, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate WB derived red blood cells (RBCs) processed using the Reveos System.
### ***Location of Study***
The study was conducted under IDE 27752 at locations within the United States only.
### ***Primary Endpoint***
The primary efficacy endpoint of this study was RBC 24-hour recovery using single label (Cr-51) and dual label with Cr-51/Tc-99m. For the single label method, there were 23 successes and 3 failures with a mean 24-hour recovery value of 83% (SD = 9%) and a one-sided 95% lower confidence limit for the proportion of successes of 73%. For the dual label method, there were 24 successes and 2 failures with a mean 24-hour recovery value of 90% (SD = 9%) and a one-sided 95% lower confidence limit of 78%.
Both single label (Cr-51) and dual label Cr-51/Tc-99m met the three FDA criteria of 1) LR-RBC mean 24-hour recovery $\geq 75\%$ with 2) SD $\leq 9\%$ and 3) a one-sided lower confidence limit for the population proportion of RBCs in vivo recovery of 70% with a “success” being LR-RBC recovery $>75\%$.
### ***Safety***
Three confirmed DDs were reported. Out of the three DDs, one resulted in the participant discontinuing from the study. Two out of the three confirmed DDs did not result in discontinuation of the participants and were addressed by replacements of affected parts. No DDs resulted in AEs.
Overall, no safety signals were observed in this study. All reported Procedure-Emergent Adverse Events (PEAEs) were anticipated, related to medical history or had been previously reported as potential AEs during a blood donation. There were no device related PEAEs or Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADEs) reported during this study. All PEAEs reported during the study were related to the study procedures; no PEAEs were related to the investigational device. There were no device related PEAEs or UADEs observed during this study.
### ***Summary***
Based on the clinical performance, Reveos worked as expected, performed in safe manner, and met FDA’s criteria for in vivo 24-hour recovery after 42-day storage.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
