#### Predicate Legally Marketed Device Equivalence
Substantial equivalence is claimed to the following legally marketed predicate devices:
K020330 - Deployable Oxygen Concentration System (DOCS) K003939 - Venture IOH 200 Home Fill II Complete Home Oxygen System by Invacare Corporation
Both the DOCS and the Home Fill devices operate on the principle of using a pressure differential to strip oxygen from the ambient air using a zeolite molecular sieve in an adsorption process, as does the DOCS device.
The Home Fill II predicate includes a proprietary cylinder to be filled from an oxygen generation system. The DOCS when used with the MOST as an accessory will have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the Invacare unit.
These predicate devices use an oxygen-generating process to fill cylinders that can be transported to where the oxygen is needed. The DOCS system also has this same cylinder filling capability, but with the addition of the MOST there is another option for deploying the oxygen in the field.
#### Safe Medical Devices Act (SMDA) Statement
The oxygen supplied by the MOST is supplemental and is not considered to be life supporting or life sustaining. The failure of the device would NOT have serious health consequences to the user.
#### Description of Device
The Mobile Oxygen Storage Tank (MOST) is an oxygen storage and distribution system consisting of lightweight, high strength, high-pressure composite wound brass lined cvlinders and a distribution manifold secured within a rugged waterproof case. The MOST contains 10,000 liters of oxygen when filled to 2,250 psig. The MOST has a maximum flow capability of 225 LPM, which is equivalent to 75 LPM per Oxygen Output fitting (3 fittings per MOST).
The MOST's small footprint, relatively light weight and easy carrying system make it optimal for military deployments. Eight handles, two on each long side of the MOST and two on the top at each end are provided for ease of transportation. The MOST contains the Apparatus Kit, which includes the equipment required to distribute the oxygen to up to three patients concurrently. The exterior dimensions of the MOST are: a length of

37.25", a width of 27.18", and height of 15.44." The MOST weighs approximately 184 pounds when fully charged to 2250 psig.
#### Intended Use of Device
The Mobile Oxygen Storage Tank (MOST) is intended to provide 93% oxygen at 50 psig nominal pressure for supplemental oxygen use only. The MOST is intended to be filled from the Expeditionary Deployable Oxygen Concentration System (E-DOCS) only. The MOST is intended for military use only.
## Device Labeling
The MOST, is clearly labeled "93% Oxygen".
The MOST has labels clearly showing contraindications.
The MOST is clearly labeled "For Use With EDOCS Only".
The MOST is labeled as "Rx Only"
The system is not sold or labeled as sterile.
## Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The MOST consists fundamentally of two cylinders, a manifold that connects to the EDOCS system for filling, as it does not have its own oxygen generating capability. In this lack of filling capability, the MOST is an accessory to the DOCS system and together they have the same technological characteristics as the Home Fill II systems. The MOST system is simpler and at least as safe and effective as both the DOCS and the Home Fill II systems. The technology is well established and has been used in other legally marketed products.
As with the Home Fill II system, the MOST is filled only from the DOCS system, which conforms to the USP 24-NF19 standard.

Image /page/3/Picture/0 description: The image shows a black and white logo that appears to be a stylized letter 'A'. The 'A' is formed by thick, bold lines, and it has a unique design where the horizontal bar is not a single line but rather a rectangular shape that connects the two sides of the 'A'. The logo has a modern and geometric feel due to its clean lines and sharp angles.
## Summary of Performance Testing
Verification and validation testing activities were conducted to establish the performance, reliability and safety characteristics of the MOST, to demonstrate performance as intended. Testing involved the following areas:
- 트 Purity
- Flow Rate
- 트 Mechanical

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
