## Table 3-2: Comparison Overview of the Phaco Tips to the Predicate Devices
As the subject 21G Phaco Tips are intended to be packaged with the 21G Irrigation Sleeve, which is also the subject of this premarket notification; Table 3-3 referenced below compares the features of the proposed Irrigation sleeve with its respective predicate device, AMO Irrigation Sleeve, cleared by the FDA under K103023.
The Irrigation sleeve, subject of this premarket notification, is similar in comparison to the cleared Irrigation sleeve except for the reusability. The different gauge size (21G) compared to the predicate sleeve is mainly for achieving a smaller incision size during surgery. The smaller incision size thus enables the surgeons to use this device for Micro-implantation cataract surgeries. Additionally, the difference in flow rate specifications is to demonstrate a higher flow rate during surgery for the proposed Irrigation sleeve. Moreover, the difference in sieeve color (Light Blue and Orange vs. Yellow) is to differentiate between various sleeve gauge size offerings within the market (20G vs. 21G). Moreover, the difference in the sleeve. color within the 21G size offering (Light Blue vs Orange) is only to offer the surgeon a preferred choice for use. Lastly, the proposed Irrigation sleeve will be provided as reusable

compared to AMO's disposable sleeve product offering. This additional reusability claim has been supported by testing highlighted in latter sections.
Aside from these differences highlighted in bold, in the table below, the Irrigation sleeves have the same intended use, material, and functionality as its predicate and are therefore. deemed to be substantially equivalent. Additionally, Functional validation testing has been performed to demonstrate higher flow rate for the proposed irrigation Sleeve. This testing can be found below under Section 16, Performance Testing - Bench.

#### 3.1 Device Description
Phacoemulsification (Phaco) is a technique used during cataract surgery to emulsify and extract a cataractous lens from the eye with an ultrasonic handpiece. The ultrasonic handpiece is connected to, and powered by a phacoemulsification system, which is identified in 21 CFR 886.4670 as "an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract."
The fragmentation needle, also referred to as a phaco tip, vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency and emulsifies the cataract when connected to an ultrasonic phacoemulsification handpiece. The fragmented tissue can then be aspirated and removed through the lumen of the tip. During a surgical procedure, irrigation solution, typically Balanced Salt Solution (BSS), is used to irrigate the eye and this is passed with the help of an Irrigation Sleeve. The Irrigation Sleeve directs the irrigation solution across the shaft of the phacoemulsification tip, allowing it to enter the eye during ocular surgery. This small molded component is placed over the Phacoemulsification tip. The proposed tips and irrigation sleeves are made of fitanium and medical grade silicone respectively.
The subject of this 510(k) premarket notification is the Reusable Phacoemulsification Tips (Phaco Tips) & Irrigation Sleeves (Phaco Sleeves), which will be additions to the family of Disposable Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tips & Sleeves. The Phaco tips that are the subject of this 510(k) premarket notification have two different designs, straight and curved tip. The same two designs were the subject of the predicate device and have been cleared by the FDA under K111882 (AMO Laminar Flow Phaco Tips). These tips were cleared by the FDA for single use only and now AMO intends to introduce the reusable version of the same models into the market to offer a broad range of products to our customers. These tips will be compatible with all our currently marketed AMO ultrasonic handpieces, and will be made of the same surgical grade titanium as the predicate device. Moreover, these 21G tips will also be compatible with our 21G Irrigation Sleeves (Phaco Sleeve), which is the other subject device of this 510(k) premarket notification. The 21G Irrigation Sleeve will have a slightly different design as compared to the predicate device, which has been cleared under K103023 (AMO Irrigation Sleeve). The reduced gauge size (21G) is designed for use with the 21G Phaco tips. The proposed Light Blue and Orange sleeve will be made of the same medical grade silicone material as the predicate device (Yellow Sleeve), with a difference in the colorant to distinguish between the various AMO sleeve offerings in the market.
#### 3.2 Indications for Use
The Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tips are used to break up (emulsify) the nucleus of a cataractous lens and remove the remaining nuclear fragments.
The Irrigation Sleeve is a device intended to direct irrigation solution across the shaft of a phacoemulsification tip, allowing the solution to enter the eye during ocular surgery.
The Phacoemulsification tip is interided for use in conjunction with the Irrigation Sleeve during ocular surgery.
#### 3.3 Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the Phaco Tips & Irrigation Sleeves are identical to those of the legally marketed predicate device also manufactured by AMO. With the exception of the reusability claim, the mechanism of action and technological features of the Phaco Tips & Irrigation Sleeves are the same as the predicate device with respect to materials, intended use, claims (except for reusability claim), clinical applications, patient population, method of operation, and performance specifications.

## 3.5 Summary of Non-Clinical Data
Biocompatibility studies have been performed for the Phaco Tips and Irrigation Sleeves and results have shown the material used in these devices to be biocompatible and safe for use during the cataract surgery. Additionally Non-clinical animal studies were performed for the Straight and Curved Laminar Flow Phaco Tips along with the Irrigation Sleeves. Both studies demonstrate that Phaco tips and sleeves are safe and effective for human use and that they perform well with our various AMO phacoemulsification systems and handpieces and pose no additional risks.
Both these Non-Clinical testing (Animal and Biocompatibility testing, irrespective of their colorants) demonstrate similar effectiveness and performance profiles with respect to their predicates and hence they are deemed to be substantially equivalent to their respective predicate devices.
## 3.6 Overall Summary
The information presented in this 510(k) premarket notification demonstrates that the Laminar Flow Phaco Tips & Irrigation Sleeve are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device, also manufactured by AMO. The technological characteristics, material, intended use, and manufacturing processes remain unchanged for the Phaco Tips & Irrigation Sleeve when compared to their predicates. AMO concludes that these devices are safe, effective, and substantially equivalent to their predicate devices as described herein.

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.
