Indications for Use
Promotes wound healing through lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and maintenance debridement for the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria and other matter.
Device Story
AS1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System uses low-frequency (35kHz), low-intensity, non-contact ultrasonic energy to promote wound healing. System inputs include sterile saline and filtered oxygen; generator converts electrical power into ultrasonic energy transmitted via a titanium alloy transducer horn and applicator tip. Device produces a fine, oxygenated fluid stream spray applied to the wound bed. Used in hospitals, clinics, or home settings by healthcare providers. Non-contact ultrasound provides cellular stimulation, increased blood flow, and reduced bioburden with minimal pain or thermal effect. Output facilitates maintenance debridement by removing debris, exudates, and bacteria. Clinical benefit includes improved wound healing outcomes through lavage and debridement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, compliance with electrical and ultrasonic safety standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 61847), and biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-1).

# Device Description
The AS1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System promotes wound healing through the ultrasonic lavage of wound tissue (acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue) and cleansing irrigation & maintenance debridement of the removal of debris, exudates, fragments, bacteria, and other matter through the use of low-frequency, low-intensity, nonthermal non-contact ultrasonic energy and oxygenated fluid irrigation.
{1}------------------------------------------------
K091038 Page 2/8
This is accomplished by the non-contact, non-thermal application of a fine oxygenated fluid stream spray to the wound bed whereby ultrasound energy is transmitted via the stream from the applicator tip to the wound tissue. Non-contact ultrasound provides cellular stimulation, increased blood flow, and reduced bioburden with much less pain or thermal-effect than competing direct contact ultrasound devices. The AS1000 uses continuous ultrasonic energy to oxygenate the fluid (typically sterile saline) into a solution stream and couple the delivery of ultrasonic energy via the stream to the treatment site.
The level of airborne ultrasound energy generated by the device, its spatial characteristics, and the potential exposure to unwanted acoustic energy is substantially equivalent between the AS1000 device and the predicate Celleration MIST device since both have the same size diameter (10mm) oscillating surface generating the ultrasonic energy transmitted thru their respective streams. In addition, since both the AS1000 device and the predicate Celleration i MIST device are intended to treat tissue at the same distance and same pattern, the level of ultrasound energy transmitted to the patient and the effects of the applicator from the wound is substantially equivalent. As the AS1000 device and the predicates (Celleration MIST device and Arobella AR1000 device) are all derived from classic Langevin transducer designs, the variability in the field from device is expected to be substantially equivalent, and all AS1000 devices are tested and verified to perform within the reported parameters to maintain safety and efficacy
The converter has a transducer horn that is made from titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V). The applicator and tip are made from titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V), like the probes for Celleration MIST and Arobella AR1000 predicated devices, and the other indirect patient-contact materials are stainless steel (both AIS) Type 300 & 17-4PH series), anodized aluminum alloy (6061), nylon, polyurethane, and silicone tubing. No latex is used in this device, including any potential patientcontact areas, and testing has revealed no negative reactions to the materials used in this device.

# Safety and Effectiveness
The AS1000 Ultrasound Wound Therapy System is substantially equivalent to the Celleration MIST system and the Arobella AR1000 Ultrasonic Wound Therapy System as well as the DeRoyal JetOx ND and Smith+Nephew VersaJet.
### 1.0 Efficacy
This device, like the predicates, is directed for single (1) treatment, and total recommended treatments shall be no more than three (3) times per week or as directed on the order of the physician; typical treatment regimen is approximately two (2) weeks or more, depending on the size and nature/condition of the treated area as well as other subject dependent factors, but may be prescribed for more frequent use and/or for a shorter or longer treatment regimen duration on the order of a physician.
This device also compares with the predicates, as follows:
1. Controlled ultrasonic delivery of oxygenated-fluid irrigation, primarily recommended for use with 0.9% sterile saline solution and filtered oxygen, to lavage the wound tissue (e.g. acute and chronic wounds, burns, diseased or necrotic tissue), like the Celleration predicate ultrasonic wound cleanser though with the addition of oxygenated-irrigant and like the DeRoyal JetOx predicate jet lavage with the additional of ultrasound.
2. Maintenance debridement of the site for the removal of loose fragments, debris, exudate, bacteria, and other matter, like the Celleration predicate ultrasonic wound cleanser though with the addition of oxygenated-irrigant and like the DeRoyal JetOx predicate jet lavage with the additional of ultrasound.
3. Ultrasonic separation/debridement of tissue through the use of the applicator and tip, either parallel to the wound bed surface for shallow separation of tissue layers, like the predicate Smith+Nephew hydrosurgical device, or normal to the wound bed for non-contact cavitational ablation of the unwanted tissue. like the Arobella AR1000 predicate selective, contact debridement device but instead with low-intensity, non-contact ultrasonic energy and like the low-intensity, low-frequency Celleration predicate ultrasonic wound cleanser though with the addition of oxygenated-irrigant.
4. As a result, the AS1000 promotes wound or tissue healing, like the Celleration predicate ultrasonic wound cleanser though with the addition of oxygenated-irrigant. There is significant clinical literature (see list of Example References Cited in the Technical Device Description) as precedence to support the use of therapeutic ultrasound to demonstrate the different aspects and characteristics associated with or required for the promotion of wound healing (e.g. stimulation of blood flow, fibrin promulgation, macrophage stimulation/bacteria destruction, and so forth).
{6}------------------------------------------------
K091038. Page 7/8
In addition, the 2008 CPT codebook provides a Class III for this treatment modality as 0183T -Low frequency, non-contact, non-thermal ultrasound, including topical application(s) when performed, wound assessment, and instruction(s) for ongoing care, per day. The Instructions For Use (IFU) for more specific examples of the applicator's use, and the entire system is compact in size such that in can be used at a primary care provider's office (on an out-patient basis), clinic, specialized treatment center (i.e. burn center), or hospital, like all of the predicate devices.
### 2.0 Safety
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The AS1000 system consists of an ultrasonic power supply (hereto after referred to as a generator), an ultrasonic converter hand piece (or just converter), an applicator & tip, a saline supply reservoir & conduit tubing, a oxygen supply reservoir & conduit tubing, and, optionally, a waste chamber for material removed by aspiration. This establishes substantial equivalence to the Celleration predicate ultrasonic wound cleanser and Arobella AR1000 predicate selective, contact debridement device. The option to aspirate establishes substantial equivalence to the Smith+Nephew VersaJet and the DeRoyal JetOx HDC (though not listed in the comparison table, the JetOx HDC is essentially the JetOx ND with the addition of aspiration).
2.1 Electrical Safety & Electromagnetic Compatibility
Like the relevant predicates, this device complies with the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment, Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance
· UL 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety
· IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment, Part 1-2: Electromagnetic compatibility -Requirements and tests
• IEC 60601-1-4 Medical electrical equipment, Part 1-4: Programmable electrical medical svstems
· FCC Part 18 - EMC Requirements
2.2 Ultrasonic Safety
Like the relevant predicates, this device complies with the following standards:
· 21 CFR 1050.10 - Ultrasonic therapy products
· IEC 61847 Ultrasonics - Surgical systems - Measurement and declaration of the basic output characteristics
2.3 Biocompatibility
Like the relevant predicates, this device was tested for and complies with the standard ISO 10993-1:2003 - Biological evaluation of medical devices, Part 1: Evaluation and testing and its
{7}------------------------------------------------
K091038 Page 8/8.
relevant annexes (based on nature and duration of patient contact). All testing was conducted in compliance to 21 CFR, Part 58 Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Laboratory Studies.
The AS1000 system is preferred to be used with 0.9% sterile saline solution, which is widely available for purchase from medical suppliers in bottle or bag form and is to be supplied by the user, as well as the tubing, valving (for saline flow control), and connector (for attachment to the converter). Alternately, the AS1000 can also be used with other FDA-approved irrigants. This is comparable to all of the predicate devices and irrigation solutions.
### 2.4 Transportation/Storage
Packaging systems for the non-sterile device and for the non-sterile accessories of the device (e.g. the applicator, tips, shroud, optional aspiration port, et al) keep the product without deterioration and without a specific level of sterility stipulated, like all the predicate devices. Those accessories used specifically for treatment (e.g. applicator, tip, shroud, etc) are to be sterilized prior to use to minimize the risk of microbial contamination, like the predicate Arobella AR1000 selective, contact debridement device. In addition, the packaging system will be subjected to the appropriate testing (as applicable) to ensure the device and the accessories arrive in usable and functioning condition for use. like the predicate devices.
As the device and the accessories are durable goods with little or no notable deterioration, the shelf life is at the very least as long as the product lifecycle, barring storage, transportation, and/or use under extremes of environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, moisture, etc).
### 2.5 Reprocessing
This device is virtually identical from an infection control perspective to the Arobella AR1000 wound debridement device for which we have previously validated the reprocessing instructions. The instructions for reprocessing (i.e. cleaning and sterilizing) the device from the IFU are identical to the predicate Arobella AR1000 which have already been validated.

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.
