Indications for Use
The Microtable Stereotactic System is intended to be used with commercially available stereotactic systems for intra-cranial and neurosurgical procedures which require the accurate positioning of microelectrodes, stimulating electrodes, or other instruments in the cranium, brain, or nervous system.
Device Story
Microtable System is a patient-specific surgical adapter used in neurosurgery to align instruments with patient anatomy. Input data consists of pre-operative CT and MR images, fiducial marker positions, and anatomical landmarks (AC, PC, MP) processed via WayPoint™ Planning and Design software. The software defines a surgical trajectory; a CNC mill fabricates a patient-specific tabletop from polycarbonate or Ultem based on this trajectory. The device is a passive, fixed fixture secured to the skull via bone-mounted anchors. It is operated by neurosurgeons in an OR setting. The device provides a rigid, immutable guide for instrument placement, ensuring sub-millimeter targeting accuracy. It benefits patients by facilitating precise, minimally invasive access to intracranial targets.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional stability pre- and post-sterilization, load testing for deflection, and targeting accuracy. All tests passed, demonstrating performance equivalent to the predicate device with targeting accuracy <1mm.
Technological Characteristics
Passive stereotactic fixture. Materials: Polycarbonate or Ultem. Manufacturing: CNC milling. Connectivity: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Standard hospital methods. Design: Patient-specific geometry determined by pre-operative imaging and planning software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing intra-cranial and neurosurgical procedures requiring accurate positioning of microelectrodes, stimulating electrodes, or other instruments in the cranium, brain, or nervous system.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A stereotaxic instrument is a device consisting of a rigid frame with a calibrated guide mechanism for precisely positioning probes or other devices within a patient's brain, spinal cord, or other part of the nervous system.

## Legally Marked Predicate Device to which the submitter claims (3) substantial equivalence:
The Microtable System is substantially equivalent to FHC, Inc.'s WayPoint™ Stereotactic System (K092192; decision date: February 12, 2010: product code HAW).
#### (4) Description of device:
The Microtable System is a patient-specific surgical adapter, designed to be secured on a skull-based anchor mounting set to hold and align surgical instruments with patient anatomy and to allow selected targets to be reached with sub-millimeter accuracy. A Microtable System comprises an assembled Microtable, mounting hardware and tools, and cleaning and sterilization cases.
The Microtable comprises the tabletop, legs, and an instrument mounting interface. The tabletop is designed specifically for the patient using the commercially available WayPoint™ Planning and Design software. This software is currently cleared by the FDA under 510(k) K092192. Once the patient-specific tabletop is designed, the file is sent FHC, Inc. or to a qualified FHC OEM that will manufacture the tabletop using a CNC (Computer Numeric Controlled) mill. Each tabletop is patient-specific by milling at least three parallel leg holes and a hole for the instrument interface in a planar sheet of polycarbonate or Ultem. A qualified technician installs legs with appropriate lengths and rigidly attaches them to the tabletop along
{1}------------------------------------------------
with the instrument interface. After fabrication and assembly, the tabletop is dimensionally verified to ensure that it meets all of the specifications and is shipped to the hospital for sterilization and use.
The Microtable is equivalent in functionality to the Platform Adapter described in the WayPoint™ Stereotactic System approved under 510(k) K092192 and is further described in the intended use.
#### (5) Statement of intended use:
The Microtable Stereotactic System is intended to be used with commercially available stereotactic systems for intra-cranial and neurosurgical procedures which require the accurate positioning of microelectrodes, stimulating electrodes, or other instruments in the cranium, brain, or nervous system.
#### (6) Comparison of Technological Characteristics to Predicate Device:
The Microtable System consists of several components that work together to become a stereotactic system. These components are:
1) Microtable (specific to each patient) 2) Device mounting hardware for the Platform
Like the Platform Adaptor in the predicate WayPoint™ Stereotactic System, the Microtable is a passive fixture that is specific for a given patient with no adjustments required - or possible - in the operating room. While an attached instrument may allow for adjustments relative to the fixture, the fixture itself is fixed relative to the patient's head and is immutable.
A second crucial similarity to the Platform Adaptor is that the shape of the Microtable is determined before surgery by the position of fiducial markers, the patient's anatomy, and by a trajectory defined by desired entry and target points chosen by the neurosurgeon. This determination is accomplished through a pre-operative planning stage. Three or more anchors are implanted pre-operatively, and then a pre-operative CT is acquired that includes those anchors and the targeted region of the brain. The choice of traiectory is made by the neurosurgeon while reviewing the pre-operative CT image and a pre-operative MR image of the patient using the commercially available WayPoint™ Planning and Design software, which allows for loading images, determining the positions of anchors, selecting the entry and target, and specifying the positions of three standard anatomical features, namely the anterior commisure (AC), the posterior commisure (PC) and a mid-plane point (MP) on the mid-plane of the brain.
A third similarity is that the Microtable is fixed to the patient's head via bonemounted anchors, such as the WayPoint™ Stereotactic Anchor System
{2}------------------------------------------------
defined in the predicate device or other commercially available fiducial anchor or marker system.
One of the technological differences between the Microtable and predicate device is the material. The material differences are all non-patient contacting materials. Sterilization, stability, load and accuracy testing have been performed to show that the material differences have no effect on the safety or efficacy of the device and that the Microtable is functionally substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The Microtable is substantially equivalent to the WayPoint™ Stereotactic System Platform Adapter, which is described in the WayPoint™ Stereotactic System approved under 510(k) K092192 and is the predicate device used in this submission. The Microtable System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in design, intended use, and performance characteristics.
#### (7) Nonclinical Performance Data:
The following nonclinical testing was conducted in order to evaluate the accuracy and performance characteristics of the Microtable System.
- Dimensional Stability (Pre and Post Sterilization) to show the . platform does not dimensionally change after sterilization. PASS
- Based on the dimensional stability of the device after sterilization, it is concluded that the Microtable is substantially equivalent to the predicate device which is sterilized by the same process.
- Load Testing to show that the deflection of the device is within . specification when a load is applied. PASS
The load testing of the Microtable meets the same specifications as the predicate device and is therefore substantially equivalent.
- Targeting Error (Accuracy) to show the accuracy of the device to a target. PASS
The Targeting Error (Accuracy) of the Microtable meets the same accuracy specifications (less than 1mm) as the predicate device and is therefore substantially equivalent.
The nonclinical performance data (dimensional stability, load testing and target error – accuracy) shows that the Microtable System is as safe, as effective and performs as well as 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.
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.
