Device Class
Class 2
Indications for Use
The AVERT™ Contrast Modulation System is intended to be used for the controlled infusion of radiopaque contrast media for angiographic procedures with the following agents: Iodixanol 270 or 320 mgl/ml, Iohexol 300 or 350 mg[/ml, and Iopamidol 370 mg]/ml.
Device Story
AVERT Contrast Modulation System is an angiographic injector accessory used to control contrast media infusion during angiographic procedures. The system comprises a reusable, non-sterile contrast modulator (RMS) mounted on a wheeled stand and a sterile, single-use disposable modulation reservoir connected to a 4-way stopcock and extension line. The RMS applies mechanical force to the modulation reservoir to provide a pressure-dampening effect during contrast delivery. Users adjust the applied force by repositioning a pin on the RMS housing. The device is positioned near the patient, outside the sterile field, and operated by clinicians to reduce hand fatigue during manual contrast injection. By modulating delivery pressure, the system assists in controlled contrast administration, potentially benefiting patients by managing contrast volume and delivery characteristics during vascular imaging.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluations included flow rate, peak pressure reduction, flow rate adjustability, mechanical cycle testing, and distribution/package testing. Results confirmed the device meets performance criteria and is equivalent to the predicate. Biocompatibility testing from the predicate device was leveraged as no changes were made to patient-contacting materials. Sterilization was validated per ISO 11135 to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10^-6.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of a reusable mechanical contrast modulator (RMS) and a sterile, single-use modulation reservoir. Operates via mechanical force application to the reservoir to dampen pressure. Force is manually adjustable via a pin mechanism. Connectivity: None (mechanical). Sterilization: ISO 11135 compliant for disposable components. Materials: No changes to patient-contacting materials compared to predicate.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing angiographic procedures requiring controlled infusion of radiopaque contrast media (Iodixanol, Iohexol, or Iopamidol).
Regulatory Classification
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a non-patient contacting balloon inflation syringe intended only to inflate/deflate balloon catheters and monitor pressure within the balloon, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

# Device Description:
Similar to the first generation AVERT Contrast Modulation System (weighted), the Osprey Medical second generation AVERT Contrast Modulation System consists of a reusable, non-sterile
{1}------------------------------------------------
apparatus (contrast modulator or RMS), which applies a force to a disposable modulation reservoir. The system also includes a wheeled stand for which to mount the RMS. The RMS applies a force directly to the single use sterile, detachable modulation reservoir, which has a pressure dampening effect during contrast delivery, similar to the weighted AVERT System. The RMS utilizes an internal mechanism to apply force to the modulation reservoir. The force can be easily and quickly adjusted by moving the location of the pin as identified on the outer housing of the system, thereby increasing or decreasing the amount of force applied to the modulation reservoir. The RMS is attached to the wheeled stand and is positioned near the patient, outside of the sterile field. The disposable components of the AVERT Contrast Modulation System include a modulation reservoir, which is connected to a standard, off-the-shelf 4-way stopcock and extension line that are all provided sterile.
## Intended Use:
The AVERT™ Contrast Modulation System is intended to be used for the controlled infusion of radiopaque contrast media for angiographic procedures with the following agents: Iodixanol 270 or 320 mgl/ml, Iohexol 300 or 350 mg[/ml, and Iopamidol 370 mg]/ml.
#### Comparison to Predicate Device(s):
The AVERT Contrast Modulation System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared AVERT Contrast Modulation System, K131478, in that they are both designed to control the infusion of radiopaque contrast media for angiographic procedures and function to reduce the users hand fatigue during routine angiographic procedures.
The AVERT Contrast Modulation System and previously cleared first generation weighted A VERT System both use an applied force that works to dampen the delivery of contrast media to a patient during an angiographic procedure. The AVERT Contrast Modulation System achieves this effect with an internal mechanism, which applies a force to the modulation reservoir. This applied force is easily adjustable by the user moving the location of a pin, whereas the weighted A VERT System achieved this by removing or adding individual weighted plates, placed in contact with the modulation reservoir. Whereas the Acist system is a powered injector adjusted via the user interface and the Medline syringe is manually controlled.
The above modifications allow the use of multiple commonly used contrast types. Design modifications to the modulation reservoir are also included specific to the second generation AVERT Contrast Modulation System.
The design of the AVERT Systems are comparable to the Acist Angiographic Injection System and the Medline Angiographic Control Syringe. The indication for use statement of the Acist Angiographic Injection System and the AVERT System are similar with the AVERT System having a more specific indication of contrast media type. The indication for use statement of the Medline Angiographic Control Syringe is similar in intention to the AVERT System.
#### Performance Data:
The AVERT Contrast Modulation System has been evaluated using the following in vitro bench testing to confirm the performance characteristics as compared to the predicate device:
Flow Rate .
{2}------------------------------------------------
- Peak Pressure Reduction
- Flow Rate Adjustability .
- Mechanical Cycle Testing .
- Distribution & Package Testing
All test results demonstrated that the materials, manufacturing processes and design of the Osprey Medical AVERT Contrast Modulation System met the established performance criteria and will perform as intended in a manner that is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
In vivo testing was not deemed necessary based on the ability to evaluate the changes during bench testing and the insignificance of the modifications to the predicate device.
Biocompatibility tests were not deemed necessary, because there were no changes to any materials that are patient contacting. Therefore, biocompatibility testing conducted using the predicate device remains applicable to the proposed AVERT Contrast Modulation System.
Sterilization validation was conducted in accordance with ISO 11135 requirements for the single use modulation reservoir kit supplied with the RMS. The validation results indicated the components will be provided with a minimum sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6.
#### Summarv:
Based upon the intended use and descriptive information provided in this pre-market notification, the Osprey Medical AVERT Contrast Modulation System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device

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.
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.
