#### 5.4 Device Description
## NorPort CT.PC Port Family of Implanted Vascular Access Devices:
The Norfolk Medical NorPort CT-PC Port is composed of a port reservoir with an attachable catheter system. The Port reservoir consists of a titanium or polysulfone chamber with a silicone septum and an outlet pin (510 (k)#102385). The silicone septum is designed to allow multiple needle puncturing while maintaining the leak-tight integrity.
The NorPort CT·PC comes in standard design to enable regular use as an infusion/withdrawal port and has high-pressure injection capability to aid in the delivery of large volumes of specialty fluids such as contrast media. The NorPort CT·PC is triangular shaped with a recessed septum ring. The body port has a "CT" symbol machine etched on the bottom end to enable easy recognition of the port with most imaging systems. The port has 3 holes for suture fixation to the tissue. A catheter comes with the port and is inserted in the vascular system. The catheter is usually inserted into a venous vessel and fed down into the superior vena cava. The placement of the catheter is checked by radiographic technique. The catheter is radiopaque to enable visualization for placement. The kit provided to aid in insertion of the catheter and placement of the port may include introducer items like needles, sheathes, vein picks, guidewires, straighteners, and dilators. Likewise the, "cut-down", kit for port placement may contain tunnelers, infusion sets with 90 degree Huber point needles, and syringes along with the port and catheter.

# Norfolk @ Medical
7350 N. Ridgeway, Skokie, IL 60076 • 847-674-7075
Improper placement of the catheter in the body has been shown to cause the catheter to be cut off from a, "pinching" effect by the clavicle and the first rib. Exercise caution when placing the catheter into the vein and the superior vena cava to ensure that the catheter does not pass between the juncture of the clavicle and the first rib. This "Pinch-off" complication is well documented and a well understood potential complication of the surgical implantation of the Port system.
#### 5.7 Methods of Application
The method of application is to prepare and insert the catheter into the vein (using "cut down" method or "percutaneous" method) and on into the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. Then the proximal end of the catheter is tunneled subcutaneously to an area of cut down where the port is to be placed beneath the skin and secured to the muscle tissue. The catheter is joined to the port and the port is sutured to the muscle. All incisions are sutured normally by the physician.
Intravenous fluids, medications, blood products, or nutritional fluids may then be administered by needle puncture of the septum in the port or periodic blood samples may be acquired if appropriate flushing techniques are followed. A complete description of the uses of the port is contained in the Instructions for Use/User's Manual in Appendix B.
When used with a power injectable needle infusion set, the NorPort CT-PC Port is indicated for power injection of contrast media. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 ml/s with a 19 and 20 gauge non-coring power injectable needle and 2 ml/s with a 22-gauge non-coring power injectable needle.
#### 5.8 Special Precautions for Disposal
Any sharp instrument used in the procedure should be properly disposed of according to the institution policy. Any remaining parts or empty packages do not require special handling when disposing.

#### Instruction for Use 5.14
Note: Detailed instructions for use and care of the NorPort CT·PC are in the "USER'S MANUAL. A simple listing of implant instruction is listed here:
1) Before implanting inspect the port thoroughly. Do not use if holes, cracks, or surface contaminations are present.
2) Flush all air from the port prior to placement using the 20ga Non-coring point needle and syringe with heparinized saline, which is provided with the kit.
3) The selected site for the reservoir body should be over a bony structure and in a location that is convenient and comfortable for the patient.
4) Place the catheter into the vein using the "cut-down" technique or by using a percutaneous introducer.
5) Place the tip of the catheter in an area of high blood flow when placing it in the venous system. Fluoroscopy is highly recommended to verify proper placement of the catheter tip in the junction of the superior vena cava/high right atrium.
6) Take special care not to serrate the catheter tip or occlude it during the catheter placement process. Leave sufficient slack upon placement so the patient movement does no stress the catheter.
7) Position the pocket for the reservoir so that the suture line is not directly over the port. Do not place the port too deep or to shallow. A depth of approximately 5mm under the skin surface is recommended as the optimal placement of depth.

8) Cut the catheter to the proper length and moisten all components with saline.
9) Slide the catheter lock over the catheter.
10) Slide the catheter over the barbed outlet tube (pin connector) of the reservoir.
11) Slide the catheter lock and catheter forward until the catheter and the outlet tube are completely covered.
12) Test the connection by gently tugging on the catheter.
13) Secure the port to the underlying fascia with at least three non-absorbable sutures.
14) After suturing has been satisfactorily completed, flush the incision with an appropriate antibiotic to ensure a sterile pocket.
I 5) Before closure, check patency and flow through the NorPort CT PC Port by x-ray, fluoroscopy, or by imaging technique of choice.
16) After each use, always leave the NorPort CT·PC Port filled with a heparinized saline solution in a concentration recommended by your institution.
17) When the NorPort CT·PC Port is to be used for "power injection" of special fluids, a power injectable needle infusion set must be used. For power injection of contrast media, the maximum recommended infusion rate is 5ml/s with a 19 or 20 gauge non-coring power injectable needle and 2 ml/s with a 22 gauge needle.
A copy of the Instructions for User's Manual is attached in Appendix B, which contains detailed instructions.

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.
