other display shows the currently selected program mode. Buttons are used to set the power level or to change the modes. Different connectors allow connecting mono- and bipolar electrosurgical instruments, a neutral electrode, a footswitch, or an ancillary pump. The maximum output power is 120 W.
Application Modes:
Monopolar Cut: Three continuous cutting modes (Cut 1, Cut 2, and Cut 3) for standard tissue cutting; two intermittent cutting modes (PulseCut Slow and PulseCut Fast) for slow and controlled tissue cutting.
Monopolar Coagulation: One mode for standard coagulation procedures (SoftCoag); two modes for forced coagulation (ForcedCoag 1, Forced Coag 2).
Bipolar Cut: Three continuous cutting modes for standard tissue cutting applications (Cut 1, Cut 2, and Cut 3).
Bipolar Coagulation: Three bipolar coagulation modes (SoftCoag, RFCoag, RFCoag + RCAP). SoftCoag is used for standard coagulation and hemostasis. RFCoag is used for controlled coagulation. It features acoustic resistance feedback and an automatic end of procedure detection. RFCoag + RCAP is especially suited for deep tissue coagulation without significant tissue desiccation; it also features an end of procedure detection.
The modes have preset power levels that may be customized by the user in a defined range.
Design:
The design of the Olympus ESG-100 complies with the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1 UL 60601-1 IEC 60601-1-2 IEC 60601-1-4 IEC 60601-1-6 IEC 60601-2-2 ISO 14971
## Olympus AFU-100
The AFU-100 peristaltic flushing pump employs tubing to deliver fluid to the tissue/mucosa. Sterile liquids (e.g. isotonic saline solution) thus remain sterile, provided that a sterile tube set is used.
{3}------------------------------------------------
73207
Page 4 of 5
The maximum flow rate is 270 ml and 600 ml per minute with two different tube sets offered as single use items (see Figure 2). In addition, three memory buttons provide fast access to preset flow levels. The AFU-100 can be connected to the electrosurgical generator ESG-100 by an interface, allowing operation of the peristaltic pump unit by a special button of the electrosurgical unit's footswitch.
The pump rotor is equipped with a protective cover, which automatically stops the rollers from rotating if it is opened while the peristaltic pump unit is activated, and thus prevents possible injuries.
Design:
The design of the Olympus AFU-100 complies with the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1 UL 60601-1 IEC 60601-1-2 IEC 60601-1-4 IEC 60601-1-6 ISO 14971
Accessories
A-Cord: The A-cord is used to connect active instruments to the Olympus ESG-100.
P-Cord: The P-cord is used to connect a neutral electrode to the Olympus ESG-100.
Footswitch (ESG-100): The footswitch of the ESG-100 is connected with a cable to the generator. It has a yellow CUT and a blue COAG pedal. An additional button allows switching between the application modes or to activate the pump flow, if an ancillary pump unit is connected.
Footswitch (AFU-100): The footswitch is an optional accessory to the AFU-100. It has one pedal to activate and deactivate the pump. Pump Tube: There are two different sizes of pump tubes available. The tubes are inserted into the pump head and connect the liquid source with the surgical instrument.
The Olympus Electrosurgical System is an electrosurgical system con-Intended Use: sisting of the Olympus ESG-100 electrosurgical generator, in conjunction with the footswitch and the peristaltic flushing pump Olympus AFU-100. The Olympus ESG-100 is designed to perform monopolar and bipolar functions in the operating arena. The AFU-100 flushing pump is intended for irrigation of instruments or irrigation/flushing/cleansing of tissue surfaces and wounds supporting endoscopic diagnosis or therapy.
The Olympus Electrosurgical System has the same indication state-Comparison to Prediment as the predicate system consisting of ERBE VIO 300 D with Accate Devices:

cessories and ERBE EIP 2. In addition, these two systems have similar technological characteristics.
The subject ESG-100 has the same indication statement, the same intended use statement and similar technological characteristics as the predicates ICC 200 and VIO 300 D.
The ENDO CUT mode of the predicate ICC 200 offers an equivalent to the PulseCut slow / fast of the subject ESG-100. The predicate VIO 300 D and the subject ESG-100 are suitable for bipolar cutting. There are minor differences in the output characteristics and the quantity of the application modes, the maximum output power, or the handling, but they do not change the safety and effectiveness or result in new potential risks.
The subject Olympus AFU-100 has the same indication statement and similar technological characteristics as the predicate Olympus OFP-1. It also has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the Erbe EIP 2. However, the EIP 2 has been registered under a different product code. Nevertheless the intended use statements and the technological characteristics of the predicates EIP 2 and OFP-1 are substantial equivalent to the Olympus AFU-100.
The data show that the differences between the subject Olympus Electrosurgical System and the predicate devices do not affect the safety and effectiveness, as no changes were incorporated in the intended use, in the performance, and in the physical principles that the system is based upon. Therefore, no additional tests are necessary for evaluation of safety and efficacy. Nevertheless bench tests of the subject ESG-100 and the predicate devices ICC 200 and VIO 300 D were performed and demonstrate substantial equivalence.

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.
