5.4 Device Name Spirale DDS
5.5 Classification. Class II FDA Classification 21CFR 868.5630 Product Code: CAF
#### 5.6 Legally marketed device to which Equivalence is claimed
Aerovent collapsible Holding Chamber, product code: 85951. Manufactured by: MONAGHAN MEDICAL CORP, 5 latour ave., suite1600, p.o.box 2805, Plattsburgh, NY 12901 and distributed by Trudell Medical 725 Third Street, London, Ontario, Canada, N5V 5G4
#### 5.7 Description of the Device.
The purpose of a drug nebuliser device is to facilitate the nebulisation of respiratory drugs and non-pharmacological (placebo) solutions and to allow the transfer of these preparations to patients via the drug nebuliser. Usage is predominantly for patients receiving treatment in anaesthetic and intensive care settings within hospital theatres, intensive care units, and accident and emergency departments.

To the right of the 'A' are the words 'Armstrong' and 'Medical' stacked on top of each other. The word 'Armstrong' is in a larger, bolder font than the word 'Medical'.
# Section 5 510(K) Summary Spirale Drug Delivery System
The aim of treatment with a nebuliser is to deliver a therapeutic dose of the drug as an aerosol in the form of respirable particles and to obtain a response from the interaction between drug molecules and lung cell receptors, within a fairly short period of time, usually 5 to 10 minutes. Nebulisers are useful when large doses of inhaled drugs are needed, when patients are too ill or otherwise unable to use hand-held inhalers, and when drugs are not available in hand-held inhalers.
## 5.8 Intended Use
Spirale DDS is a collapsible volumising chamber for the delivery of aerosolized micro drug particles from an MDI (metered dose inhaler) canister into a respiratory breathing circuit during anaesthesia or intensive care ventilation in the spontaneously-breathing or ventilated patient.
# 5.9 Substantial Equivalence
We are claiming substantial equivalence to the Trudell Aerovent collapsible Holding Chamber (Monaghan Medical). Both products are connected onto the inspiratory limb of a ventilator circuit; both can be collapsed when not in use.
Key elements are the same such as jet orifice diameter, total volume collapsed and expanded, distance of nozzle travel canister depression and manufacturing material.
No adverse advent has been reported on either type of product; therefore both products are safe and effective for use during treatment of a patient.
## 5.10 Materials used in
- 1. K-Resin® Styrene-Butadiene Copolymers.
- 2. 40646C TRANSPARENT PURPLE MASTER.
- 3. Metallocene polyethylene reinforced with a polypropylene helix.
- 4. LOCTITE® 3106™.
- 5. 7132M 1/32" white medical grade foam tape.

Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows a logo with a large, bold letter 'A' on the left side. To the right of the 'A', there is text that reads 'Arms' on the top line and 'Medical' on the bottom line. The text is in a smaller font size compared to the letter 'A'. The logo appears to be for a medical company or organization.
In summary, Armstrong Medical has demonstrated that the Spirale Drug delivery system is substanically equivalent to the Trudell Aerovent collapsible Holding Chamber. It has been proven that the products are safe and effective while in use.
Spirale must be airtight to ensure no leakage of respiratory drugs and non-pharmacological solutions; the foam disk feature comes into use when the product is collapsed this design feature will ensure no medical gases are leaking from the circuit when the Spirale is attached to the circuit. Product must also expand and collapse during use without any difficulty. These features are 100% examined during assembly of the product.
5.11 Non-Clinical Tests.
They following tests were carried out on the Spirale DDS before approval to manufacture and market the devices;
- 1. Working Environment: Device must withstand insertion and removal forces associated with normal use
- 2. Handling and Transportation Conditions: Must withstand temperature range of -40°C to + ૨૦૦૮
- 3. Physical Requirements: Jet orifice and canister interface to be designed to be geometrically equivalent to Aerovent chamber from Trudell Medical to ensure safety and . effectiveness.
- 4. Physical Requirements: Spirale connectors and supplied adaptors to be compatible with existing Armstrong Medical ventilator circuit connections.
- 5. Product Testing: Glued seams to be leak free at pressures up to 60cmH2O in both the open and closed/locked positions to withstand normal operating conditions.
- 6. Product Testing: Collapsible.
- 7. Lock and unlock positions easily identifiable, easily released from locked.
All tests were carried out and passed, therefore product was approved for manufacture and marketing. Spirale DDS is compatible with circuits marketed under the 510(k) reference numbers listed below:

| K812774 | HUDSON OXYGEN THERAPY SALES CO. VENTILATOR CIRCUIT |
As the predicate devices have been on the market for many years with no reportable incidences in this time, we can assumed from the bench tests carried out to evaluate the performance of the
device under actual clinical working conditions, that the Spirale DDS will perform as safe and effective as the predicate.

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.
