Indications for Use
The SNaP Wound Care System is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device, particularly as the device may promote wound healing through the removal of excess exudates, infectious material and tissue debris. The SNaP Wound Care System is indicated for removal of small amounts of exudate from chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, venous or pressure), surgically closed incisions, flaps and grafts.
Device Story
SNaP Wound Care System is a non-powered, portable, single-use suction device for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Device utilizes constant-force springs to mechanically generate negative pressure gradient; removes wound exudate, irrigation fluids, and infectious materials. Used in clinical or home settings; operated by clinicians or patients. System includes dressing kits (foam, bridge dressing, hydrocolloid SecurRing) to maintain seal over various anatomical contours. Output is continuous negative pressure applied to wound bed; facilitates wound healing by removing debris and exudate. Labeling update allows use in hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) environments and includes instructions for resetting the suction cartridge. No design modifications were made to the core suction mechanism.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included verification, simulated wound performance, biocompatibility, and packaging/shelf-life studies. Specific bench evaluations confirmed functionality of the cartridge reset feature and performance of the SNaP Bridge Dressing and SecurRing in delivering negative pressure. Oxygen compatibility testing characterized ignition probability and severity of dressing materials in hyperbaric oxygen environments.
Indicated for patients requiring negative pressure wound therapy for removal of small amounts of exudate from chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute, and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (diabetic, venous, pressure), surgically closed incisions, flaps, and grafts.

# SECTION 6 510(k) SUMMARY
#### Intended Use
The SNaP Wound Care System is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device, particularly as the device may promote wound healing through the removal of excess exudates, infectious material and tissue debris. The SNaP Wound Care System is indicated for removal of small amounts of exudate from chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, venous or pressure), surgically closed incisions, flaps and grafts.
#### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SNaP® Wound Care System ("SNaP System") is an existing (K081406, K111393, K112341, K 113032) non-powered, portable, single-use suction device intended for wound management via application of negative pressure to the wound for removal of fluids, including wound exudate, irrigation fluids, and infectious materials. The SNaP System utilizes dedicated constant-force springs to mechanically generate the negative pressure gradient. The proposed SNaP Wound Care System will have the same indication for use as the predicate device, the SNaP Wound Care System (K113032). In addition, Spiracur has added the SNaP® Bridge Dressing Kit ("SNaP Bridge Dressing") and SNaP® SecurRing" Hydrocolloid ("SNaP SecurRing") to the SNaP Dressing Kit product family.
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The proposed labeling changes did not result in any design modifications to the cleared SNaP Wound Care System (K081406, K111393, K112341, K113032). The only modifications resulting from the labeling changes are to the SNaP System Instructions for Use provided to the physician, that now describes conditions for use of the SNaP System dressing components within enriched oxygen environments, such as hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) chambers, and also now includes instructions for resetting the SNaP Wound Care Cartridge. In addition, Spiracur has added the SNaP Bridge Dressing and SNaP SecurRing to the SNaP Dressing Kit product family. The SNaP Bridge Dressing is a design modification introduced to the SNaP Foam Dressing Kit (K112341) to facilitate dressing use on a variety of anatomical contours. The sterile, moldable hydrocolloid SNaP SecurRing serves the same function as the hydrocolloid layer of standard SNaP Dressing, to improve the seal of the dressing around the wound.
The additions of the SNaP Bridge Dressing Kit and the SNaP SecurRing to the SNaP Dressing Kit product family are to provide clinicians additional dressing options for use with the SNaP System, designed to help achieve a seal during the SNaP Dressing application. The additions to the SNaP Dressing Kit product family are substantially equivalent to existing items of the product family as they have the same intended use in the same wound types, and utilize similar performance specifications and comparable technological features to achieve the same mechanism of action: therefore, the additions do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
The SNaP System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as both devices have the same intended use, have been historically cleared for use in the same wound types, and utilize similar performance specifications and comparable technological features to achieve the same

mechanism of action: therefore, the modified labeling does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
# Testing in Support of Substantial Equivalence Determination
To support the additions of the SNaP Bridge Dressing Kit and the SNaP SecurRing to the SNaP Dressing Kit product family, Spiracur conducted necessary bench testing to ensure conformance to design specifications and to support a determination of substantial equivalence to existing items of the SNaP Dressing Kit product family. The testing performed includes:
- Verification testing ●
- . Simulated wound performance testing
- Biocompatibility testing .
- Packaging and shelf life testing .
The proposed labeling changes to the cleared SNaP Wound Care System did not result in any design modifications. All necessary bench testing was conducted on the SNaP Wound Care System and its components to ensure conformance to design specifications and to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The testing performed includes:
- Bench testing within a simulated hyperbaric oxygen environment to characterize . the probability of self-ignition and to characterize the potential severity of ignition of the SNaP Wound Care dressing materials, in order to evaluate the oxygen compatibility of the dressing materials.
- Bench testing conducted in conjunction with the modified device Instructions for . Use to evaluate the functionality of a latent design feature allowing for the resetting of the SNaP Wound Care System to assess the ability of the SNaP Wound Care System to deliver negative pressure wound therapy comparable to the predicate device (K081406, K111393, K112341, K113032).
- Simulated wound performance testing conducted in conjunction with the modified . device Instructions for Use to evaluate the functionality of a latent design feature allowing for the resetting of the SNaP Wound Care System to assess the ability of the SNaP Wound Care System to deliver negative pressure wound therapy comparable to the predicate device (K081406, K111393, K112341, K113032) when used in conjunction with the SNaP Bridge Dressing Kit and the SNaP SecurRing and all other dressing configurations after resetting.
# SUMMARY
The SNaP® Wound Care System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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.
