Device Story
Capiox SP Pump is a sterile, single-use, non-roller centrifugal blood pump; used in extracorporeal circuits for circulatory support. Device operates via magnetic coupling to BioMedicus BioConsole (Models 540, 550, 560). Blood enters inlet port; rotating impeller imparts centrifugal force; blood exits outlet port to circulate through bypass circuit. Used in clinical settings (e.g., OR) by trained medical professionals. Output is mechanical blood flow; healthcare providers monitor flow and pressure via console integration to manage patient hemodynamics during bypass. Benefits include sustained circulatory support for procedures up to 6 hours.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In-vitro performance evaluations included pump load (pressure differential) testing, 9-hour durability testing, BioMed flow probe and pressure meter accuracy testing, and decoupling testing. No clinical studies were required.
Technological Characteristics
Centrifugal blood pump; hardshell housing with blood and rear chambers; rotating impeller. Blood-contacting surfaces coated with polymethoxyethyl acrylate (X-Coating). Magnetically coupled to external console. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Sterilization validated to SAL 10^-6.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring circulatory support during extracorporeal circulation procedures lasting up to 6 hours.

This submission was prepared for: Terumo Corporation (Ashitaka Factory) Manufacturer/Sterilizer 150 Maimaigi-cho, Fujinomiya City Shizuoka Pref. Japan 418-0015 Registration #9681834
Device Names/Classifications: Proprietary Name
Classification Name
Common Name
Centrifugal Pump
Capiox® SP Pump
Non-Roller, Cardiopulmonary Bypass Blood Pump (Code: KFM)
### Predicate Device:
The device submitted in this 510(k) maintains characteristics that are substantially equivalent in intended use, design, technology/principles of operation, materials and specifications to the following devices:
- · Terumo's Capiox® SP Pump K012209 and K962981
- · Medtronic BPX-80 Bio-Pump® K973011
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Substantial Equivalence Comparison:
#### Intended Use
The Capiox® SP Pump is used to facilitate blood flow in the extracorporeal circuit for circulatory support during extracorporeal circulation for up to 6 hours.
The Capiox® SP Pump is a sterile, single use device. The pump is a non-roller type pump that couples magnetically to, and is magnetically driven by the BioMedicus BioConsole Models 540, 550 and 560 via the pumphead adaptor.
Comparison to Predicate: The intended use of the Capiox® SP Pump remains essentially unaffected by the change proposed in this application. This new application, upon FDA clearance, allows the additional indication that the Capiox® SP Pump can be used in conjunction with the BioMed 560 console - in addition to the current indications that it can be used with the BioMed 540 and 550 consoles. Similarly, the Medtronic BPX-80 Bio-Pump® is indicated as a circulatory support device that is intended to pump blood through a bypass circuit during extracorporeal bypass procedures.
#### Duration of Use
The Capiox SP Pump is indicated for use in procedures lasting not more than 6 hours in duration.
Comparison to Predicate: There will be no differences noted in the 6-hour duration as a result of the added indication that the product can be used with the BioMed 560 console. Similarly, the Medtronic BPX-80 Bio-Pump® is also indicated for usage not to exceed 6 hours.
#### Labeling
Terumo Corporation currently provides labeling and adequate instructions for use with the Capiox® SP Pump. The instructions for use (IFU) are provided with each delivery of the product to the user facility.
Comparison to Predicate: The instructions manual for the Capiox® SP Pump will be updated to indicate that the device can be used with the BioMed 560 console. No additional significant changes are planned for the instructions or other labeling.
#### Principles of Operation and Technology
The Capiox® SP Pump performs it's function using centrifugal force technology. As blood enters the device via the blood inlet port, centrifugal forces created by the pump activity will propel the blood through the pump and out of the device via a blood outlet port.
Comparison to Predicate: The existing principles of operation and the technology employed by the Capiox® SP Pump remain unaffected by the added product indication. The employed technology utilized by the Medronic BPX-80 Bio-Pump® is essentially identical to that of the Terumo device. Both devices are "fed" via gravity drainage of blood into the device - followed by a pumping device that creates circulation throughout the bypass circuit. Both devices rely upon a console drive, as well as centrifugal force.
{2}------------------------------------------------
# TERUMO
#### Design and Materials
The design and materials of the Capiox SP Pump is such that the device meets it's stated intended use - and provides an acceptable level of performance and safety to the patient. The device is a hardshell housing that contains a blood compartment (blood chamber) and a non-blood compartment (rear chamber). Within the blood chamber is a rotating impeller-type component that imparts centrifugal force upon blood as it enters the device. These centrifugal forces move the blood out of the device via the outlet port - and propel the blood through the bypass circuit.
Comparison to Predicate: The design and manufacturing of the Capiox® SP Pump are not changing as a result of the added product indication. Further, the materials used in the manufacturing of the Capiox® SP Pump are not changing as a result of the added product indication. The proposed change included in this application is to add a new indication. There are no design changes, nor are there any material changes included in this application. When compared to the materials used in the predicate Medtronic BPX-80 Bio-Pump®, it is noted that there are differences between the two devices with the most significant difference being the coating materials that are applied to the blood contacting surfaces. The Terumo device is coated with polymethoxyethyl acrylate, whereas the Medtronic device is covered with Trillium or Carmeda® coating. While these surfactants may differ chemically from Terumo's X-Coating, the safety and effectiveness or each of these materials are well-recognized and have been extensively used in medical devices. Such noted differences are not thought to raise previously unrecognized issues of safety or effectiveness.
#### Performance Evaluations
Clinical studies involving patients are not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device. Performance studies for the intent of demonstrating safe and effective use of the Capiox® SP Pump with the BioMed 560 console is demonstrated with the following in-vitro performance evaluations:
- Pump Load (Pressure differential Inlet v. Outlet) testing (comparative testing v. predicate) .
- 9-hour Durability Testing (attribute evaluation / not compared to predicate) .
- BioMed Flow Probe & Pressure Meter Accuracy testing (comparative testing v. predicate) .
- Decoupling (separation from drive system) testing (attribute evaluation / not compared to . predicate)
Comparison to predicate: The performance of the Capiox® SP Pump with the added indication for use with the BioMed 560 console is equivalent to the performance of the predicate Terumo device and the Medtronic BPX-80 Bio-Pump® when used on the 560 console. No significant differences in performance were noted.
#### Conclusion:
In summary. Terumo deems the Capiox® SP Pump with the added indication for use with the BioMed 560 console as substantially equivalent to the established predicates with respect to intended use, duration of use, design, materials, principles of operation, performance and specifications. The only noted difference between the predicate and the proposal indicated in this application is that the Capiox® SP Pump can be used with a BioMed 560 console.
{3}------------------------------------------------

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.
