| Classification Name: | Powered Suction Pump |
| Predicate Device: | K012991 - Stryker Neptune Waste Management System and<br>K040239 - Neomedix Corp. Supraflow Console |
Description:
The Disposal Station is a stationary unit located in a utility area. The ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System consists of three (3) components:
- 1. Mobile Unit
- 2. Disposal Station
- Disposable Collection Disc (hereinafter referred to as "Disposable Disc," "Collection ന Disc," or "Disc")
The Mobile Unit is a portable unit that provides its own source of vacuum and houses the Disposable Collection Disc which is used to collect fluid waste and small debris from the surgical site. The amount of suction can be regulated by the end user via the simple user interface on the Mobile Unit.
The Disposable Collection Disc is a single use disposable that collects fluid waste from the surgical procedure. It has four ports to allow for the collection of fluid from various instruments during the procedure. Additionally, the Disc features an attached flexible liner in which collected fluid is contained.
The Disposal Station is a stationary unit located in a utility area plumbed with water inlet and outlet lines. After the surgical procedure, the Mobile Unit is moved to the utility area where it interfaces with and locks into the Disposal Station. After the Mobile Unit is locked into place, the

{1}------------------------------------------------
Disposal Station automatically empties the Collection Disc, sending the surgical fluid waste into the hospital's waste water system. The evacuation process also collapses the Disc to allow for easy disposal.
Intended Use:
The ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System is intended to be used in the Operating Rooms, Surgical Centers and Doctors' Offices to collect and dispose of fluid waste.
#### Substantial Equivalence
The ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System is substantially equivalent to the Neptune Waste Management System in that:
- Intended use is a subset of that of the Neptune Waste Management System. ー Removal of the smoke evacuation feature limits use within the currently cleared indications of the predicate device. This change does not raise new risks to the patient or clinician, nor is there any significant effect on the device's safety or effectiveness with respect to surgical fluid collection.
- Performance attributes and safety components are substantially equivalent to the l predicate
- Vacuum range is the same as predicate 트
- I Both devices regulate vacuum via a knob-controlled bleeder valve
- . Both devices assure HEPA quality exhaust
- 트 Both devices contain an overflow prevention mechanism
- The ORwell™ System differentiates from the predicate in that its collection vessel is | a single use disposable component. This requires the user to dispose of all components that have come in contact with surgical fluid waste between procedures, limiting likelihood of cross-contamination. This key feature change increases the safety of the device and has no adverse effect on substantial equivalence.

#### Summary of Testing:
The ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The testing consisted of all testing identified in the FDA's Guidance Document for Powered Suction Pumps, September 30, 1998 and Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Device. A hazard analysis of the system and its software was performed and testing was conducted to validate the systems overall operations. The ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System has no direct patient contact therefore, biocompatibility testing is not applicable. A detailed list of testing is provided with test protocols and reports.
The following testing was completed on the ORwell™ System:
- 1. "Almost Full" Sensor – verification that light illuminates and audible alarm sounds at the appropriate pre-determined level
- 2. Vacuum Level Operating Range verification that, with regulator, vacuum operating range is within spec
- 3. Fluid Suction Flow Rates verification that typical worst case and maximum fluid suction flow rates are within spec
- 4. HEPA Filter Efficiency and Life - verification that filter assembly is HEPA efficient and has a life of ≥ 500 hours
- 5. Fluid Trap Shutoff fluid trap assembly tested for fluid ingress effectiveness
- 6. Overflow Valve Fluid Ingress overflow valve tested for fluid ingress effectiveness
- Instructions for Use ORwell™ system tested for safe operation when being used 7 per instructions for use
- 8. Disposal Station Valve Drip - verification that no dripping results after the fluid disposal process
- ல் Disposal Port Valve Opening Pressure – verification that the valve will prevent user from being exposed to biohazards
#### Performance Data
The ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System was tested against the predicate for vacuum level operating range and fluid suction flow rate. Vacuum level operating range was found to be the same at 0" – 19" Hg and maximum fluid suction flow rate was found to be comparable with ORwell™ performing at approximately 5 liters/minute and the predicate at approximately 4.9 liters/minute.
#### Conclusions Drawn from Testing
Data from testing demonstrates that the performance of the ORwell™ Fluid Collection and Disposal System is similar and substantially equivalent to that of Stryker's currently commercially available Neptune Waste Management System.

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.
