# INTENDED USE
The ciSNaP® Closed Incision System is indicated for patients who would benefit from wound management via the application of negative pressure, particularly as the device may promote wound healing through the removal of small amounts of exudate from surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure.
# PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ciSNaP® Closed Incision System ("ciSNaP System") is a new addition to Spiracur Inc.'s ("Spiracur") family of negative pressure wound management devices. The ciSNaP System is a portable, non-powered, disposable Negative Pressure Wound Therapy ("NPWT") system that is intended for wound management through the removal of small amounts of exudate from surgically closed incisions. The ciSNaP System utilizes the concept of forced expansion of volume to produce negative pressure at the closed incision. The ciSNaP System can be applied in the sterile field. The ciSNaP System has no electrically powered parts and is disposable after use. Additionally, it is capable of delivering negative pressure wound therapy at a near-constant pressure level over several days without any required adjustments by the patient or clinician. The dressing component of the ciSNaP System incorporates an antimicrobial interface.
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The indications for use for the ciSNaP® Closed Incision System are substantially equivalent to the indications for use for the predicate devices. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy. Thus, the ciSNaP® Closed Incision System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
#### TESTING
All necessary bench testing was conducted on the ciSNaP System to ensure conformance to design specifications to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. As verified by performance testing, the ciSNaP System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of both intended use and technology, and the ciSNaP System is as safe and effective for delivery of negative pressure wound therapy.

# Nonclinical Testing Summary:
The nonclinical, bench testing included:
- . Verification testing was performed, and results demonstrate the device has appropriate design characteristics with respect to its intended use for delivery of negative pressure wound therapy;
- . Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-1 standards was performed, and results demonstrate the device is biocompatible according to these standards:
- . Packaging and shelf life testing was performed, and results demonstrate conformance to product specifications;
- . Ion release rate testing was performed, and results demonstrate antimicrobial characteristics as measured by silver ion availability are not significantly different after aging during the continuous use period; and
- . In vitro antimicrobial log reduction tests were conducted on samples of the silverplated skin interface layer of the ciSNaP® Controlled Tension Relief Layer. Tests were conducted without application of negative pressure and exposed silverplated samples to 106 CFU challenges of six species of microorganisms. Following inoculation, samples were tested for microbial counts after incubation . in diluted nutrient broth for 1, 3 and 7 days. Mean log reduction values derived from microbial counts of silver plated samples at day 1, day 3 and day 7 as compared to their unplated controls are provided in the table below:
| | Mean Log Reduction | | |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|-------|-------|
| Challenge Organism | Day 1 | Day 3 | Day 7 |
| Staphylococcus aureus [ATCC 6538] | >4.3 | >4.4 | >4.1 |
| Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus<br>(MRSA) [ATCC 33591] | >4.3 | >4.3 | 4.2 |

### 510(k) Summary (Cont.)
The collective results of the nonclinical testing demonstrate that the materials chosen, the manufacturing processes, and design of the ciSNaP System meet the established specifications necessary for consistent performance during its intended use.
#### SUMMARY
The ciSNaP System has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices: the existing Spiracur CI-SNaP Wound Care System (K111006) and the KCI Prevena" Incision Management System (K100821). The ciSNaP Controlled Tension Relief Layer has a similar intended use as the Argentum International. LLC Silverlon" Contact Wound Dressing (K981299) and the Select Fabricators, Inc. Ag MedTex Wound Dressing (K040518) predicate devices, as silver dressings for use on incisions. The use of the Silverlon Contact Wound Dressing and Ag MedTex Wound Dressing under static conditions and the ciSNaP Controlled Tension Relief Layer under negative pressure conditions has no bearing on citing these non-negative pressure dressings as predicates for the silver plating and plating process, respectively. The nonclinical performance test results demonstrate the ciSNaP System performs equivalently to the predicate devices and is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. The antimicrobial testing results support that the ciSNaP System has the same antimicrobial agent characteristics as the Prevena™ Incision Management System. Both the ciSNaP antimicrobial fabric and the Select Fabricators Ag MedTex Wound Dressing utilize the same basic chemical principles for the antimicrobial agent coating process. As verified by performance testing, any differences in technological characteristics do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness with regard to device operation, use, or its antimicrobial properties. Therefore, the collective results of nonclinical testing demonstrate that the ciSNaP System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of both intended use and technology, and that the ciSNaP System is as safe and effective for delivery of negative pressure wound therapy.
#### CONCLUSION
The ciSNaP System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

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.
