| Classification | Class II |
| Performance<br>Standards | Performance standards have not been established by the FDA under section 514 of<br>the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. |
| Intended Use | The RITA® System (RF generator and electrosurgical devices) supplies energy for<br>use in electrosurgery and is indicated for use in percutaneous, laparoscopic, or<br>intraoperative coagulation and ablation of soft tissue, including the partial or<br>complete ablation of non-resectable liver lesions and the palliation of pain<br>associated with metastatic lesions involving bone in patients who have failed or are<br>not candidates for standard pain therapy. |
| Device | The RITA System consists of the following components: |
| Description | RF Generator: Provides RF energy to the Device through the Main Cable. |
| | Disposable Electrode ("the Device"): Consists of a number of deployable<br>electrodes. Some or all are equipped with a thermocouple, depending on the<br>model of the Device. Some Devices are used with saline infusion ("Infusion<br>Devices") and require the use of a pump. |
| | Infusion Pump: When using the RF Generator with the Infusion Devices, an off-<br>the-shelf market-cleared infusion pump or a RITA Pump is used to deliver saline<br>through the Infusion Device during ablation. In the off-the-shelf pump, syringes<br>are connected to the Infusion Device and loaded into the Infusion Pump. In the<br>RITA Pump, a Tubing Kit is connected to the Infusion Device and loaded into the<br>RITA Pump. The RF Generator is connected to the Infusion Pump via an RS-232<br>cable. |
| | Tubing Kit: The tubing kit is designed to load into the pump head from the front<br>of the pump. On the proximal end of the tubing-set there is a PVC Bag Spike<br>fitting that allows the tubing to be attached to an IV bag. The Bag Spike fitting is<br>attached to a single length of tubing that is connected to a splitter fitting that splits<br>the single tubing into 5 separate tubes. The 5 tubes are held together with clips<br>that allow the tubes to be uniformly loaded into the pump head. The distal end on<br>the tubing-set has 5 female luers to attach to the Infusible devices. |
| | Main Cable: Connects the Device to the RF Generator. |

Dispersive Electrode: Provides the return path for the RF energy applied by the Device. Depending on the model, the dispersive electrode may be equipped with thermocouples to measure skin temperature at the dispersive pad. Dispersive pads with temperature sensing capabilities are connected to the RF Generator at the dispersive electrode connection and at the Aux port.
Power Cord: A medical grade line cord that provides AC power to the RF Generator.
Foot Pedal: The Foot Pedal is connected to the front of the RF Generator. The Foot Pedal starts and stops the RF energy delivery when the RF Generator is in "READY" mode.
Device Description (cont.)
To use the system, the RF Generator is plugged into the wall outlet via the Power Cord. The electrosurgical device is connected to the RF Generator via the Main Cable. The Dispersive Electrode is placed on the appropriate location of the body and is connected to its port on the RF Generator. If a pump is used, it is connected to scrial port B of the RF Generator. Once the system is successfully powered up, the user can set the parameters of the ablation such as the mode of operation, the ablation time, the target temperature, and the power delivery level. One mode of operation, purge, is used to communicate with an infusion pump to prime the system. There are four modes of operation for RF energy delivery: constant power, constant temperature, infusion mode, and track ablation. In the infusion mode, the RF Generator communicates with the infusion pump to set and adjust the infusion With the electrosurgical device placed in the tissue to be ablated and its rate. electrodes deployed, RF power can be turned on. The system parameters are continuously monitored and displayed on the RF Generator. If the measured parameters arc outside the acceptable limits, the RF energy delivery and fluid delivery (if in infusion mode) automatically stops and a message appears on the liquid crystal display (LCD). The RF energy delivery and fluid delivery (if in infusion mode) also automatically ceases once the ablation is completed based on the initial user-defined parameters. RF energy can also be stopped at any point by pressing the RF on/off switch. Fluid delivery can also be stopped at any point by pressing the pump on/off switch.
Performance Data
The RITA System is subjected to design verification, software validation, ablation performance, and sterilization validation testing.

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.
