Indications for Use
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (<30 days) to withdraw blood samples, administer fluid intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line. The needle shaft cover and tip shield feature aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy. The 18 to 22 gauge catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 325 psi.
Device Story
SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is a manually operated, over-the-needle peripheral catheter. Device consists of a polyurethane catheter, stainless steel notched cannula, and a passive needle-shielding mechanism. Clinician inserts device into patient's vascular system; notched cannula allows visualization of blood flashback in the transparent flash chamber, confirming vessel entry. Upon needle withdrawal, the passive safety mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover) automatically deploys to shield the entire length of the cannula, including the tip, to prevent needle stick injuries. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for fluid administration, blood sampling, or pressure monitoring. Benefits include confirmed vessel entry via flashback and reduced risk of sharps injury to the clinician.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing and a simulated use study. Bench testing verified compliance with ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-5, and ISO 23908. Simulated use study confirmed that healthcare workers could correctly activate the safety feature and follow instructions for use.

### Principle of Operation/Technology
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is manually operated and contains a passive safety feature that automatically activates as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter.
### Design/Construction
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is a device consisting of catheter assembly (catheter, caulking pin, and catheter hub), needle assembly (needle, needle housing, transparent flash chamber (needle connecting part) with filter, and needle protector) and a passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover consisting of inner cylinder, outer cylinder, and junction cylinder).
The devices are an over-the needle, peripheral catheter made of a slender, flexible,
{2}------------------------------------------------
radio-opaque plastic with a hub that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term (<30 days) use to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line.
The grooved cannula, which allows the clinician to visualize flashback detection through the groove, indicates that there is confirmation of vessel entry. The whole length of the cannula, including the sharp end of the cannula, is covered by the needle shielding mechanism as the needle is withdrawn from catheter's hub to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries.
### Material
The stainless steel cannula is placed in the catheter to maintain rigidity and is withdrawn after the catheter is placed in the vascular system. The catheter that is advanced into the vessel is made of polyurethane.
#### Specifications
The modified SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is available in 3 sizes, with combinations of 14 and 16 gauge catheter diameters and 32 and 51 mm (1 1/2' and 2'') lengths.
# F. INTENDED USE (807.92(a)(5))

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.

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.
