## Device Description
The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is a sterile, single-use (disposable), 8 mm instrument with an integrated cord that connects to the instrument housing and an Erbe VIO dV generator. The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer device consists of a distal wristed end effector and a proximal housing connected by a tubular shaft. The housing contains mechanisms to actuate the end effector when attached to the da Vinci Model 154000 Surgical System. An integrated cord attached to the housing is connected to a receptacle in the IESU. An electrode sealing surface and a cutting blade within the jaws of the instrument enable sealing of vessels and cutting of sealed vessels and other tissues. The sealing and cutting functions are controlled using the da Vinci Model IS4000 Surgical System foot pedals.
A slider on the housing allows the user to manually open and close the instrument jaws for intraoperative cleaning and grip release. A lock button on the housing allows the user to hold the jaws open for intraoperative cleaning. Two release buttons on the housing allow removal of the Vessel Sealer from the sterile adapter on the da Vinci Model IS4000 System instrument arm.
The ERBE VIO dV generator provides the high frequency (radio frequency) electrical current for tissue sealing.
### Intended Use/Indications for Use:
The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is a bipolar electrosurgical instrument for use with the da Vinci Model IS4000 Surgical System and the ERBE VIO dV electrosurgical generator. It is intended for grasping and blunt dissection of tissue and for bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of vessels up to 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles that fit in the jaws of the instrument. The EndoWrist Vessel Sealer has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.
### Technological Characteristics:
The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Vessel Sealer is equivalent to the predicate device, the EndoWrist® One Vessel Sealer, in terms of intended use, indications for use, and technological characteristics. Modifications from the predicate include new features and changes in the functional design of the back end and instrument tip. The changes to the instrument tip do not substantively change the function of the subject device to the function of the predicate device.
### Performance Data:
Performance test data (bench, animal and cadaver tests and human factors assessment) demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing conducted consisted of

CONFIDENTIAL
{2}------------------------------------------------
dimensional measurements, mechanical and functional verification, electrical safety, simulated use in animal and cadaver models and human factors assessment as follows:
# Bench Testing
Design verification testing of the EndoWrist Vessel Sealer (subject device) was performed on an IS4000 da Vinci Xi Surgical System. Architectural and functional requirements (e.g., physical dimension, range of motion, cutting/dissecting capabilities, creepage and clearance, force withstand, intuitive motion, electrical, programming, and general features) were tested.
Reliability testing was conducted on the subject device to confirm the requirement for the disposable instrument to withstand use over its useful life (single use).
Burst pressure testing was conducted on the device to demonstrate that the subject device, Endo Wrist Vessel Sealer, has seal performance on tissue bundles comparable to the predicate device, the EndoWrist One Vessel Sealer, and that the subject device effectively transects tissue bundles.
# Animal and Cadaver Testing
A series of tests were performed using simulated clinical models (animal) to evaluate the performance of the EndoWris! Vessel Sealer (subject device). This included clinical validation to confirm the device meets the user needs and intended use.
A porcine model was utilized in clinical validation testing to provide a test model with similar characteristics to human tissue and a similar abdominal cavity for evaluation of tissue effect and tissue interaction. Testing was done at normal systolic blood pressure levels. Simulated pelvic and gynecologic, renal and upper GI surgical procedures were performed during testing.
In-vivo tissue bundle testing was also conducted to assess the device seal and transection performance on tissue bundles and to demonstrate that the subject device has seal performance comparable to the predicate device, the EndoWrist One Vessel Sealer,
A living animal model was utilized for tissue bundle testing because it was necessary to perform the surgery where tissue consistency, bleeding vessels, beating hearts, etc., simulate what will be encountered in human patients. The porcine model provides effective simulation of tissue characteristics of a human specimen.
# Human Factors Evaluation
A Human Factor (HF) engineering process was followed in accordance with FDA guidelines for medical devices:
- Medical Device Use-Safety: Incorporating Human Factors Engineering into Risk . Management, 2000
- Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Applying Human . Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design, 2011

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.
