The VIVACE Electrosurgical System is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis, and the percutaneous treatment of facial wrinkles. This Vivace Electrosurgical System is intended for use with Skin Type I to Skin Type V.
Device Story
System uses bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to perform electrocoagulation and hemostasis in dermatologic/general surgery and treat facial wrinkles. Device consists of main console with LCD touch screen, RF generator, and power supply; handpiece uses disposable sterile 36-needle electrode cartridges (6x6 array). Physician operates handpiece, placing electrode tip in light contact with epidermis. RF energy delivered between adjacent electrode pairs generates electro-thermal reaction in target tissue. Output parameters (voltage, frequency) controlled via console. Clinical benefit includes reduction in wrinkle severity and solar elastosis. Adverse events (erythema, edema, sensitivity) typically resolve within 24 hours. Device intended for clinical use by physicians.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective clinical study of 31 participants (28 completed). Primary endpoint: change in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis scale at 30, 60, and 90 days. Results: 60.7% (17/28) of subjects showed ≥1 point improvement at 90 days. Adverse events (erythema, edema, sensitivity) occurred but decreased significantly across three treatment cycles. Pain levels also decreased over treatment sessions.
Indicated for dermatologic and general surgical procedures requiring electrocoagulation and hemostasis, and for the percutaneous treatment of facial wrinkles in patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I through V.

#### IV. Intended Use
The VIVACE Electrosurgical System is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis, and the percutaneous treatment of facial wrinkles. This Vivace Electrosurgical System is intended for use with Skin Type I to Skin Type V.
#### V. Device Description
The VIVACE Electrosurgical System is comprised of the following components: the system main body of the device which consists of the LCD touch screen control panel, the high frequency generating output section (main P.C.B board or RF Generator), and the power supply component, the Switching Power Supply (SMPS). The accessories to the device include the handpiece with disposable micro-need le cartridge (electrode) insertion, and foot switch. Radio frequency current (RF energy) is delivered from the RF Generator, through the handpiece and electrode tip into the target tissue. The hand piece being held at right angles, the tip is placed in light contact with the epidermis. As RF energy passes through the skin, it generates an electro thermal reaction, which is capable of coagulating (causing minor dermal damage) the tissue. The bi-polar RF energy is delivered between independent adjacent electrode pairs (total 36 needle electrode, 6 x 6 array insertion). The RF generator, hand piece are not disposable. Each disposable micro-needle cartridge (electrode) is supplied sterile and is for single patient use only and cannot be resterilized.

The supplied Instructions for Use provide the user with the applicable warnings and cautions during use. There are no new safety or effectiveness issues related to this device.
#### VIII. Clinical Summary
The study had 31 participants with 28 subjects completing all three sessions and are included in the final study analysis. The data were evaluated against baseline at 30 days. 60 days and 90 days by three. blinded, independent licensed physicians using the 9-point Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis scale scoring methodology for the peri-oral and periorbital regions. The scores showed improvement over the 90 day period after treatments. Among the 3 blinded evaluators, by 2/3 evaluator agreement (≥ 1 point change) criteria, 17 out of 28 (60.7%) subjects had one point improvement at 90 day follow up.
Adverse Events that occurred in greater than 5% of the subjects were Erythema (77.42%), Edema (19.35%), Edema (16.13%), and Sensitivity (6.45%). Adverse event cases decreased with each re-treatment phase for all AE types and were resolved within 24 hours. Overall adverse event rates were highest at the first treatment cycle, decreasing by a third after the second treatment and with little to no AEs reported after the third and final treatment (from 70.97% at treatment cycle 1 down to 6.45% at treatment cycle 3). Across treatments, each AE consistently decreased after the first, second and third (final) treatment cycles for every AE.

# Vivace Electrosurgical System 510(k) Notification
Most of the patients felt less pain overall through 3 treatment cycles. At 1st treatment cycle, for the peri-orbital wrinkle area, 9/28 subjects experienced pain at level 1-3 (32%) range, 12/28 at level 4 to 6 (43%) range, and 7/28 at level 7 to 10 (25%) range. During 3rd treatment cycle, 15/28 subjects reported experiencing pain at levels 1-3(53%), 12/28 at levels 4 to 6 (43%), and 1/28 at levels over 8 (3.5%). We hypothesize that the decrease in pain may be related to tissue coagulation and increased dermal thickness from initial exposure to RF energy treatment. During the 7-10 day interval, histological changes in the dermis may affect sensitivity during follow up treatment cycles with increase to RF energy.
The data shows gradual wrinkle class improvement at 90 days. The scores and change in wrinkle class demonstrate improvement in rhytids and in solar elastosis. The independent blinded evaluations support post treatment efficacy based on the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scores. All studied parameters suggest a favorable treatment profile of the VIVACE device to reduce wrinkles in the peri-orbital and peri-oral regions. The device showed moderate, but positive improvement in wrinkle severity and elastosis damage.
#### IX. Conclusion
The intended use of the VIVACE Electrosurgical System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, design and RF technology. The clinical study demonstrates that the VIVACE functions as intended with no significant impact on the safety and effectiveness profile of the device for the treatment of facial wrinkles.
Data to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device was generated in a clinical study. The clinical study was designed to demonstrate the Vivace device is safe and effective for the treatment of facial wrinkles. Clinical data from a 31 patient US study using a validated scale, Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Severity Scale, supported substantial equivalence of the VIVACE to the predicate device for the percutaneous treatment of facial wrinkles in peri-oral and peri-orbital regions.

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.
