The 18 to 22 gauge catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 325 psi.
Device Story
The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter is a manually operated, over-the-needle peripheral catheter designed for short-term vascular access. It features a notched stainless steel cannula for visual flashback confirmation of vessel entry. Upon needle withdrawal, a passive safety mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover) automatically shields the needle tip to prevent sharps injuries. The catheter hub includes a valve and seal to minimize blood leakage. Used by clinicians in clinical settings, the device allows for blood sampling, fluid administration, and pressure monitoring. The 18-22G models support power injection up to 325 psi. The device benefits patients by providing secure vascular access while reducing the risk of accidental needle sticks to healthcare workers.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing and a simulated use study. Bench testing verified compliance with ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-5, and ISO 23908, including tensile strength, burst pressure, flow rate, and biocompatibility (ISO 10993). The simulated use study confirmed that healthcare workers could effectively activate the sharps injury prevention feature and follow the instructions for use without prior training. All safety features activated as intended with no adverse events.
Technological Characteristics
Over-the-needle peripheral catheter; polyurethane catheter body; stainless steel cannula; passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter/cylinder design); integrated valve/seal in hub; radio-opaque; ethylene oxide sterilized (SAL 10^-6). Complies with ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-5, and ISO 23908. Manual operation; no electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for any patient population requiring short-term (<30 days) vascular access for blood sampling, intravenous fluid administration, or blood pressure monitoring. 18-22G catheters are compatible with power injectors up to 325 psi. Use depends on vascular anatomy, solution appropriateness, and therapy duration.

Terumo Corporation TERUMO® SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter 510k II. 510(k) Summary
### Design / Construction
The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter are devices consisting of catheter assembly (catheter, caulking pin and catheter hub containing valve, seal component and plug), needle assembly (needle, needle housing, transparent flash chamber with filter and needle protector) and a passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover consisting of inner cylinder, outer cylinder, junction cylinder).
The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter has a valve and a seal component inside the catheter hub to minimize the possibility of blood leakage at catheter hub after needle removal. The catheter hub is also provided with a plug inside which penetrates the valve to create a fluid path when a connector is inserted in the catheter hub. The fluid path is permanently opened once a secure luer connection is made.
The devices are an over-the needle, peripheral catheter made of a slender, flexible, radio-opaque plastic with a hub that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term (<30 days) use to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line.
Whole length cannula including the sharp end of the inner needle is covered by the needle shielding mechanism as the needle is withdrawn from catheter's hub to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries.
The grooved cannula which allows the clinician to visualize flashback detection through the groove indicating that there is confirmation of vessel entry is the same as the TERUMO® Surshield® PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282) and TERUMO® SURFLASH® I.V. Catheter (K991406).
### Material
The stainless steel cannula is placed in the catheter to maintain rigidity and is withdrawn after the catheter is placed in the vascular system.
The catheter that is advanced into the vessel is made of polyurethane which is the same as the TERUMO® Surshield®-PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282) and TERUMO® SURFLASH® I.V. Catheter (K991406).
{3}------------------------------------------------
### Specifications
The SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter are available in 6 sizes with combination of 18, 20, 22 and 24 gauge catheters diameters and 19, 25 and 32 mm catheters length.
### D. NON-CLINICAL TESTS
Performance testing was conducted to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter throughout the shelf life, to verify conformity to the applicable part of ISO standards and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices as mentioned in the table on next pages.
No new issues of safety and effectiveness were raised with the testing performed. Performance testing demonstrates that the SURFLASH® Plus Safety 1.V. Catheter conforms to the recognized consensus ISO standards, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and acceptable for clinical use throughout the shelf life.
A simulated use study was conducted in accordance with FDA's Guidance For Industry and Staff, Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features issued on August 9. 2005. The objectives of this study were designed to confirm that study participants are able to read and follow the Instructions for Use to safely and effectively operate the safety feature of the device. The objectives were:
- 1. Verify that proper activation of the sharps injury prevention feature of the device can be accomplished in simulated clinical environments by healthcare workers who use these types of safety I.V. catheters.
- 2. Determine if the Instructions for Use are adequate for proper activation of the sharps injury prevention feature.
All safety features activated effectively and there were no de-activations after discarding. All participants were able to read and activate the catheter safety feature without further explanation or training. No adverse events occurred.
Conclusion: The safety feature of the device operates safely and effectively as intended. Users with various levels of experience can read the IFU and operate the device safely and effectively.

## Discussion of Sections of the Intended Use/Indications for Use
## I. Device Descriptive section (Full physical description of the device):
A full physical description of the device is not necessary for a discussion in the Intended Use/Indications for Use section. Omission of a physical description in the Intended Use/Indications for use of the proposed device subject of this 510k is not relevant to a comparison of the device's intended use/indication for use. Comparison of the physical description is presented in the comparison of technological characteristics of this 510k. The omission of a physical description in the Intended Use/Indication for use has no impact on the safety and effectiveness. The physical attributes of the proposed device have been tested and compared to the appropriate predicate that has the same/similar physical attribute.
### II. Basic Device description and use as prescribed in 21CFR 880.5200
The proposed device and the predicate devices are classified under 21CFR880.5200 which states:
" An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 davs) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials. "
The proposed device and the predicate devices use a similar statement (underlined portion) regarding the actual use of the device.
Note: BD Insyte Autoguard states in the 510k that the device is classified under 21CFR 870.1200, however, FDA has classified this 510k (K971339) under 21CFR880.5200 which is identical to the proposed device subject of this 510k and the predicate devices.
{12}------------------------------------------------
## III. Description of Sharps Injury Protection
Terumo has included the description of the sharps injury protection feature in the Intended Use/Indications for Use statement for the proposed device and for one predicate device (TERUMO® Surshield®-PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282). Although three of the other predicate devices (K110443, K971339 & K923702) contain a sharps injury protection feature, the manufacturers have not included this description in their Intended Use/Indication for Use statement of their cleared 510k (this feature is discussed in the Technological Characteristics section). Even though the descriptive statement does not appear in the Intended Use/Indication for Use for those predicates, the feature is cleared under the respective 510ks.
Note: The predicate cleared under K991406 does not include a sharps injury protection feature as discussed in the Technological Characteristics section and, therefore, does not have this feature described herein.
### IV. Discussion of usage in populations
The proposed device and two of the predicate devices (K100282 and K971339) clarify that these devices may be used in any population based on medical judgment. There is no restriction placed on the use of devices in any specific population and no specific indication of use in a specific population, but rather the statement indicates these devices can be used wherever medical judgment deems appropriate. These devices are general medical use devices and can be used in any population deemed acceptable by a medical professional. These devices are "Rx only."
These clarifying statements have no impact on the general use of the products and do not affect the safety or effectiveness nor the determination of substantial equivalence.
### V. Use with Power Injectors
The proposed device and one of the predicate devices (K971339) include an indication for use with Power Injectors. The other three predicate devices do not include this indication. Appropriate testing has been included in this 510k to address the new issues of safety and effectiveness raised by this indication. The test results demonstrate the substantial equivalence of this indication with the product covered under K971339. This indication in
{13}------------------------------------------------
Terumo Corporation TERUMO® SURFLASH® Plus Safety I.V. Catheter 510k II. 510(k) Summary
the 510(k) subject device has no impact on the other indications for use for which substantial equivalence is being claimed. This indication can effectively be reviewed separately regarding substantial equivalence.

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.
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.
