Indications for Use
The HEITER 3000 Hyperthermic Perfusion System is intended to raise the temperature of the thoracic or peritoneal cavity to a physician selected target temperature by continuously lavaging the cavity with a sterile circulating, warmed, physiologically compatible solution such as sterile saline or Lactated Ringers.
Device Story
HEITER 3000 is a portable hyperthermic perfusion system for thoracic or peritoneal cavity lavage. System consists of a control console (heater, roller pump, microprocessor, touchscreen) and a sterile, single-use Lavage Procedure Kit (tubing, cannulae, temperature probes, fluid reservoir). Operation involves heating fluid in the reservoir, pumping it to the patient, and returning it via gravity drain. The clinician uses the touchscreen to set target temperatures and monitor flow rates, pressures, and patient/fluid temperatures. The device monitors sensors to ensure safe operation, providing automated alarms for out-of-specification conditions; independent protection circuits mitigate software faults. By maintaining precise cavity temperatures, the device supports hyperthermic treatment protocols, benefiting patients through controlled, monitored thermal therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing verified fluid heating and temperature maintenance across flow rates, sensor accuracy (temperature, pressure, flow), and automated response to unsafe conditions (e.g., sensor failure, excessive pressure/temperature). Human factors study validated setup and performance of simulated procedures, confirming mitigation of task-related safety risks. Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and ISO 10993 series standards for electrical safety, EMC, and biocompatibility was demonstrated.
Technological Characteristics
Portable console with roller-type fluid pump, heater, and microprocessor. Disposable kit includes tubing, cannulae, temperature probes, and fluid reservoir. Connectivity includes touchscreen interface for control and monitoring. Complies with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and ISO 10993 (biocompatibility). Sterilization via ethylene oxide per ISO 11135-1. Software includes independent protection circuits for fault mitigation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring hyperthermic lavage of the thoracic or peritoneal cavity to reach a physician-selected target temperature using sterile, physiologically compatible solutions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

#### Device Description
The HEITER 3000 is comprised of two components: a portable control console and a single use disposable. The Console consists of a heater, pump, user touch screen, microprocessor, and interface electronics.
The primary user interface is a color touch screen display that allows the user to make selections from the operating screen consisting of message display area, main screen area and flow control area.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The touch screen also displays operating conditions, flow rate, output fluid temperature, patient temperature, target temperature, alarm and status messages, various timers and auxiliary temperatures. The HEITER 3000 monitors various sensors in the fluid path to ensure safe operation and alerts the user with alarms for out of specification conditions. Independent protection circuits prevent unsafe operation in the event of system software fault.
The disposable single-use Lavage Procedure Kit consists of a Tubing Set, Cannulae, Temperature Probes and a Fluid Reservoir. The Lavage Procedure Kit is supplied sterile.
### Technological Characteristics Comparison to Predicate Devices
As compared to the predicate devices, the HEITER 3000 Hyperthermic Perfusion Device has the same operating principle, energy type, environmental specifications, and performance specifications. All of the devices use a roller-type fluid pump, touchscreen-based clinical user interface for machine set-up and control, sensor monitoring of various fluid temperatures, and a proprietary-design disposable set including large fluid reservoir to circulate sterile fluid into and out of the body cavity. In the HEITER 3000, fluid in the reservoir is directly heated to the desired temperature, the heater drain tubing passes through a roller pump and out to the patient inlet. Fluid returns from the patient outlet via gravity drain back to the fluid reservoir. The HEITER 3000 monitors circulating fluid temperature and pressure, and automatically responds to ineffective or unsafe operating conditions.
## Software Verification / Validation Testing
As part of the software verification/validation activities, and in support of substantial equivalence, the following tests were carried out on the HEITER 3000 to evaluate its ability to meet product performance specifications. Specifically, the HEITER 3000 was tested to assess its ability to:
- heat fluids over the full range of fluid flow rates. -
- maintain fluid temperature over the full range of fluid flow rates.
- detect and automatically respond to unsafe or ineffective operating conditions, as caused by the failure of the system sensors, excessive fluid temperature, excessive fluid pressure, or system-internal component failures.
- inform the clinical user of those unsafe or ineffective operator conditions via notifications, alerts, alarms, and/or system faults.
- mitigate against unknown or predictable operator errors.
- store non-patient, procedure specific treatment parameters and machine data in non-volatile memory.
- ・ measure temperature accuracy over the full range of fluid flow rates within the operating pressure range.
- measure pressure accuracy over the full range of fluid flow rates within the operating temperature range.
- measure fluid flow rate accuracy over the full range of fluid flow rates within the operating temperature pressure range.
The HEITER 3000 performed within specifications in all of the above tests.

# Human Factors / Non-Clinical Study Testing
A human factors non-clinical study was performed, providing diverse groups of pump users with a product inservice on the HEITER 3000, and testing those groups on the setup and performance of a simulated hyperthermic lavage procedure on the HEITER 3000. The testing identified potential user and patient safety risks associated with the design of the HEITER 3000, and the results demonstrated that the task-risks have successfully been addressed and mitigated.

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.
