Table 4 highlights the equivalencies and comparison between proposed Cardinal Health SmartGown™ surgical gown and predicate Cardinal Health SmartGown™ surgical gown.
Final finished goods, that were twice EO sterilized (Cardinal Health SmartGown1™ surgical gown), were tested. The products were tested in the critical zones of the body and sleeve to generate test data shown in Table 4 above, including back panels where noted. Test results establish that the product meets predetermined acceptance criteria of specifications for intended use, to demonstrate device is safe and effective, as noted in Table 4 above.
#### Mass Per Unit Area (Basis Weight) of Woven Fabric .
ASTM D3776-09 Test Methods for Mass Per Unit Area (Weight) of Woven Fabric results were reported on the Body, Sleeve and Back Panel materials. This method was used to characterize the basis weight of each fabric. The basis weight test indicates how much a square meter of the fabric weighs. Each test specimen is cut to a specific size and the mass of the specimen is measured on a laboratory scale. The basis weight is calculated from that information. Results are reported in grams per square meter. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean, min and max.
#### Breaking Strength and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (Grab tensile) .
ASTM D5034-09 Standard Test Method for Breaking Strength and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (Grab Test) results were reported on the Body, Sleeve and Back Panel materials. This method was used to characterize the tensile strength of each fabric. The grab tensile test indicates the force a fabric can withstand before tearing when pulled in a given direction. The test was performed in both roll orientations; cross direction (CD) and machine direction (MD). The test specimen is placed in the clamps of a tensile testing machine. The test specimen is subjected to an increasing force as the jaws move apart at a specified constant rate. Results are reported as peak force values. Peak values reflect the maximum force the sample endured before the initiation of failure. Results are reported in pounds of force. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean, min and max.
#### Bursting Strength of Textile Fabrics (Mullen burst) .
{9}------------------------------------------------
ASTM D774/D774M-97 (2007) Standard Test Method for Bursting Strength of Textile Fabrics (Mullen Burst) results were reported on the Body and Sleeve materials. This method was used to characterize the burst strength of each fabric. The bursting strength test indicates how the fabric will resist puncture by a blunt object. Each fabric specimen is clamped over a flexible diaphragm. The diaphragm is expanded by pressure to the point of specimen rupture. The difference between the total pressure required to rupture the specimen and the pressure on the diaphragm at time of specimen burst with clamp released is reported as the Mullen burst strength. Results are reported in pounds per square inch. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean, min and max.
#### Water Vapor Transmission of Materials, Upright cup ●
ASTM E96/E96M-13 Standard Test method for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials, Upright cup (WVTR) results were reported on the Body and Sleeve materials. This method was used to characterize the water vapor transmission rate of each fabric over a range of temperatures at 50%RH (23°C, 27°C, 32°C). The water vapor transmission rate test specimen is affixed over a sample cup of water. The prepped sample cup is weighed at time 0. The prepped sample cup is then is heated to the target temperature, in chamber with constant %RH. The prepped sample cup is then measured at predetermined time points to measure the mass loss (water vapor transmission thru the sample). The water vapor transmission rate results are reported as mass of water per unit of area per period of time (g/m2/24 hours). The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean, min and max.
#### Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles ●
16 CFR Part 1610, Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles, provides methods of testing the flammability of clothing and textiles intended to be used for clothing, and establishes three classes of flammability. The standard sets forth the requirements which textiles shall meet to be so classified. Class 1 is the best performing class. Textiles meeting these requirements are generally accepted by the trade as having no unusual burning characteristics. The flammability test indicates the inherent flammability classification of the surgical gown. Flammability results were reported on the Body, Sleeve and Back Panel materials. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported as the Flammability Classification Level.
#### Tearing Strength of Nonwoven Fabrics by the Trapezoid Procedure (Trap tear) �
ASTM D5733-99 Standard Test Method for Tearing Strength of Nonwoven Fabrics by the Trapezoid Procedure results were reported on the Back Panel material. This method
{10}------------------------------------------------
was used to characterize the tear strength of the material. The trapezoidal tear test indicates how the fabric will resist tearing around an existing hole or tear. The test was performed in both roll orientations; cross direction (CD) and machine direction (MD). A tear of specified size and orientation is initiated on the test specimen. The test specimen is placed in the clamps of a tensile testing machine. The test specimen is subjected to an increasing force as the jaws move apart at a specified constant rate. Results are reported as average trapezoidal tear strength, in pounds of force. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean, min and max.
#### . Water Resistance: Impact Penetration Test
AATCC 42-2013 Water Resistance: Impact Penetration Test results were reported on the Back Panel material. This method was used to characterize the water resistance to impact penetration of the material. The impact penetration test measures the fabric's resistance to penetration by liquids, which is a key barrier property. The test specimen and a fluid blotter paper are cut to a predetermined size. The blotter is then weighed prior to testing. The test specimen and blotter are then clamped onto the test fixture (test specimen on top of blotter). A predetermined amount of water is allowed to spray on the sample from a fixed distance and spray head. The blotter is then weighed to determine the amount of water penetration thru the sample. The amount of liquid penetration is the final blotter weight less the initial blotter weight. The results are reported in grams. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean. min and max.
#### Water Resistance: Hydrostatic Pressure Test .
AATCC 127:2013 Water Resistance: Hydrostatic Pressure Test results were reported on the Back Panel material. This method was used to characterize the resistance of a fabric to the penetration of water under hydrostatic pressure, which is a key barrier property. The test specimen is clamped the test chamber, which is filled with water to contact the sample. The water pressure is gradually increased, exerting greater pressure onto the fabric. The unexposed side of the fabric is observed for water droplets, signaling failure of the barrier feature of the test fabric. Eventually, leakage occurs, marking the end of the test. The greater water pressure, the more repellent the fabric. Results are reported in centimeters of water. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported in mean, min and max.
- Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Synthetic . Blood - Gown
{11}------------------------------------------------
ASTM F1670-08, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Synthetic Blood, evaluates the effectiveness of materials used in protective clothing for protecting the wearer against contact with body fluids that potentially contain blood-borne pathogens. This test method is intended to identify protective clothing material candidates for further testing according to a more rigorous procedure involving a surrogate for blood-borne pathogens. The test specimen is clamped onto the open face of pressure chamber of defined size, with a retaining ring around the outer circumference of the specimen. The pressure chamber is filled with synthetic blood. The specimen is exposed to the synthetic blood for a defined dwell period of time at ambient pressure. Then, chamber is pressurized, at a specified constant rate, to a maximum of 2 psi, for a defined period of time. The chamber is then allowed to revert to ambient pressure, and the specimen is exposed to the synthetic blood for a defined dwell period of time, to the conclusion of the test. A mesh screen may be used to support the specimen. Throughout the cycle, the reverse side of the fabric is observed for synthetic blood droplets, signaling failure of the barrier feature of the test fabric. If no droplets are observed thru the entire cycle, the sample passes. Results are reported as pass/fail. Procedure B was used, with a mesh screen to support the sample during testing. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported as pass/fail.
# Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Blood-Borne Pathogens Using Phi-X174 Bacteriophage Penetration as a Test System - Gown
ASTM F1671/F1671M-13, Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Blood-Borne Pathogens Using Phi-X174 Bacteriophage Penetration as a Test System, evaluates the effectiveness of materials used in protective clothing for protecting the wearer against contact with blood-borne pathogens using a surrogate microbe suspended in a body fluid simulant under conditions of continuous contact. The test specimen is clamped onto the open face of a pressure chamber, with a retaining ring around the outer circumference of the specimen. The pressure chamber is filled with fluid test media containing a surrogate microbe. The specimen is exposed to the fluid media for a defined dwell period of time under ambient pressure. Then, chamber is pressurized, at a specified constant rate, to a maximum of 2 psi, for a defined period of time. The chamber is then allowed to revert to ambient pressure, and the specimen is exposed to the fluid media for a defined dwell period of time, to the conclusion of the test. A mesh screen may be used to support the specimen. Throughout the cycle, the reverse side of the fabric is observed for fluid media droplets, signaling failure of the barrier feature of the test fabric. If no droplets are observed thru the entire cycle, the sample will then be plated for bacteriological assay. A specimen showing liguid penetration constitutes a failure. A specimen assay identifying evidence of viable microbe that penetrates the material, even when liquid penetration is not visible, constitutes a failure. Results are reported as passffail.
{12}------------------------------------------------
This method was used to characterize the AAMI PB70;2012 Liquid Barrier Performance Classification of Protective Apparel and Drapes Intended for Use in Health Care Facilities performance level, as compliant to level 4. Procedure B was used, with a mesh screen to support the sample during testing. The sample size used was n=32 and results were reported as pass/fail.
Nonwoven and nonwoven laminate materials are characterized by basis weight as opposed to thickness as basis weight is a more precise method to characterize nonwoven and nonwoven laminate performance. This is in compliance with physical specification requirements outlined in Section 3.a.1 of Guidance on Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Surgical Gowns and Surgical Drapes, issued on August 1, 1993, where it states that weight per square yard or thickness, may be used as applicable.
Based on ASTM F2407-06R13. Table 2. Note B. there are no generally accepted test methods for snag or puncture resistance available at this time for nonwoven laminates.

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.
