#### Device name and classification:
Trade Name / Model: DVTCare CA5 Common or usual name: Compressible Limb Sleeve Device Classification Name: Compressible Limb Sleeve Class: II Product Code: JOW Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.5800
#### Predicate Devices:
- i. DVTCare CA5, Doctors Orders (K061125), Acquired by Ossur Americas
- TriplePlay-VT Vascular Therapy System TPVT-01, Wildcat Medical Inc (K103187) ii.
#### Device Description:
The subject 'DVTCare CA5' is a light weight, portable, prescriptive device intended to aid in prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by helping to stimulate blood flow in the legs. This functionality is accomplished through the use of electronically controlled pump unit delivering a set amount of air to the leg cuffs that, in turn, compresses the calf(s) to aid blood flow out of the lower extremities. The pump control unit components are protectively housed in a plastic shell except the outer membrane switch (needed for user interface), 2 locking, plastic quick disconnects for air tube connection, and an external power supply input jack. The device is provided with non-serviceable battery to allow user portability, and an external power supply for mains connection.
{1}------------------------------------------------
During device operation, the pump unit provides air to the cuff through flexible plastic tubing, inflating it to a specified pressure (set by user or healthcare provider), to compress the lower limb, thus aiding venous return. Air pressure and delivery are monitored by a pressure transducer and integrated system software contained in the plastic control unit. Immediately after the pressure transducer detects that the cuff has achieved the set pressure, the cuff deflates to ambient pressure. This allows the blood flow to return to the limb. The device software ensures the cycle time is a minimum of 60 seconds (the is the length of time for one complete cycle on one cuff including fill time, exhaust, and relaxation time). This is done to prevent excessive stimulation of the limb.
#### Intended Use / Indications for Use:
The subject DVTcare CA5 is intended to be a portable system that is prescribed by healthcare professionals to help prevent the onset of DVT in patients, by stimulating blood flow in the legs (simulating muscle contractions). Furthermore, the unit can be used as an aid in the prophylaxis for DVT by persons traveling, or those expecting to be stationary for long periods of time (> 4 hours). This device can also be used to: aid in the prevention of DVT, enhance blood circulation, diminish post-operative pain and swelling, reduce wound healing time, and aid in the treatment and healing of stasis dermatitis, venous stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous insufficiency, and reduction of edema in the lower limbs.

{3}------------------------------------------------
Like the predicates, the subject device uses intermittent, pneumatic compression to simulate muscle contractions in the legs aiding the return of venous flow. The compression is achieved by air delivery, through flexible plastic tubing that are terminated with CPC quick lock connectors, to inflatable cuffs/bladders that are wrapped around the limb(s) to transmit the pneumatic force to the leg. The air delivery is controlled by a microprocessor controlled pump and valve system. The specifications of the proposed device (such as working pressure, cycle
{4}------------------------------------------------
time and hold-time) are also comparable to the identified predicates. Like the predicates, the proposed 'DVTCare CA5' includes audible and visual alarms for system monitoring and fault recognition. Like the predicates, the proposed device also incorporates rechargeable batteries enabling the unit to be portable; and is offered with an external power supply for connection to mains supply (for normal operation and battery recharging). The difference in type of battery between the subject device (Li-PO battery) and the predicate devices (Ni-MH battery), different configuration of outlet valves and slight difference in appearance do not raise any new concerns of safety or effectiveness.
#### Non-Clinical Testing
The 'DVTCare CA5' has been subjected to extensive in-house bench testing for design. software and performance validation. Moreover, the device was also evaluated by third party test laboratories for compliance to Electrical safety (IEC/UL/CAN60601-1) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2) and Environmental testing. Being a portable unit, the DVTCare CA5 was also tested to standard MIL-STD 810D, section 514.3-1 for Vibration integrity. The results from these non-clinical tests demonstrated that the proposed DVTCare CA5 meets design. safety and performance requirements; and does not raise any new concerns of safety and effectiveness.

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.
