## Predicate Device
Medtronic Bio-Medicus Femoral Venous Cannula and Introducer (K924642). The dilator is identical to that used with the TandemHeart Transseptal Cannula (K052570 and K082425).
#### Device Description
The TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set consists of three components, as shown in Figure 1: a 21 Fr. Venous Cannula. 14 Fr. Obturator, and an optional 14/21 Fr. Two-stage Dilator, that accepts a 0.035 in. guidewire. The device is intended to cannulate vessels or organs, and/or connect with accessory extracorporeal circulatory support equipment. The product is intended to be single patient, single use, sterile device.
The cannulae are available in two configurations:
- 1. 21 Fr. x 62 cm. with options for tip curvature of 0° and 50°
- 2. 21 Fr. x 72 cm. with tip curvature of 50°
{1}------------------------------------------------
The cannula has multiple side holes in addition to the tip opening for unimpeded flow of blood at the distal end and a barbed fitting at the proximal end to enable the connection of 3/8" tubing. Radiopaque markers are embedded at the distal tip of the cannula, and the cannula body is wirereinforced for visualization under fluoroscopy. Insertion depth markings are incorporated in the cannula body from 10 to 62 or 72 cm, depending on the length option, measured from the distal tip.
The cannula includes a suture wing to provide a means for securing the cannula to the patient. Printing on the proximal region of the cannula indicates the area where a clamp should be applied if needed during the set-up or the removal process.
The 14 Fr. Obturator is provided to facilitate placement of the venous cannula, within the target vessel, and is designed with a tapered distal tip. The Obturator proximal end contains a luer hub to aid in the removal of the obturator. The Obturator body is constructed of a radiopaque material for visualization under fluoroscopy:
The Obturator includes a hemostasis cap that provides the interface between the cannula proximal connector and obturator body. The hemostasis cap aids in minimizing blood loss during the insertion of the cannula/obturator assembly into the target vessel.
The 14/21 Fr. Dilator is provided to aid introduction of the obturator/cannula assembly at the insertion site.

## Intended Use
The TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set is intended to cannulate vessels, perfuse vessels or organs and/or connect with accessory extracorporeal circulatory support equipment. The cannula obturator and dilator are intended to facilitate proper insertion and placement of the cannula within the vessel for extracorporeal circulatory support.
# Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The TandeinHeart Venous Cannula Set and the predicate Medtronic Bio-Medicus Femoral Venous Cannula and Introducer both consist of a wire-reinforced, polyurethane venous cannula and a polyurethane obturator. There are also a number of technological differences: 1) the TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set contains an additional component located on the exterior proximal portion of the cannula: a suture wing to provide a means of securing the cannula to the patient; 2) the 72 cm TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set contains two Suture Rings for securing the cannula to the patient; 3) the TandemHeart Venous Cannula includes a distal tip taper, while the predicate has a straight tip; 4) the TandemHeart Venous Cannula is longer than the predicate to allow improved flexibility in positioning within the venous system; 5) the TandemHeart Venous Cannula features three radiopaque disks at the distal tip of the cannula; and 6) the TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set includes a 14/21 Fr. dilator to be used at the physician's discretion for additional aid in inserting the obturator/cannula assembly. All of the technological differences are part of the set's design to aid in the insertion. positioning and securing of the cannula.
#### Performance Data
Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence of flow characteristics between the TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set and the predicate. Medtronic Bio-Medicus Femoral Venous Cannula. The performance testing included in-vitro system capacity testing and flow vs. pressure drop (HQ). This testing verified that despite the longer length of the TandemHeart Venous Cannula and distal tip taper relative to the Bio-Medicus Femoral Venous Cannula, it was able to sustain flows comparable to the predicate.
Flexibility, strength, biocompatibility, in-vitro hemolysis, leak testing, sterilization, and shelf life of the TandemHeart Venous Cannula are addressed by comparison with reference devices, specifically the CardiacAssist Transseptal Cannula Set-EF and EF-72 that were cleared under K052570 and K082425, respectively. Based on the performance test results and data from these two other devices, the TandemHeart Venous Cannula Set was found to meet established design input requirements and thus to be substantially equivalent to the predicate Medtronic Bio-Medicus Femoral Venous Cannula and Introducer.

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.
