#### COMPARISON DISCUSSION
The intended uses for two devices are the same. PG S-Drive electric controller, suspension of cross brace, footplates, armrest type, the warranty of the components are the same. The back upholstery material is also the same and passed the resistance ignition test in accordance with ISO 7176-16.
The electronic systems between two devices, for example, the same type of S-Drive with different volume electronic controller, batteries, recharger, and the competent components are from the same suppliers, which were all passed UL certifications. Thus, the same electric safety level for the two devices is assured.
There are safer incline capabilities 6° and one more biocompatibility testing ISO 10993-10:2010 for the subject device than the predicate device. This can ensure more safety and biocompatibility for the users.
Mainframes of two devices are fixed type, and frame materials of the two devices are different but they both passed the strength and fatigue tests. The safety and effectiveness are ensured. The weight limit of HEARTWAY Lightweight Power Mobility Scooter, S34 is 100 kgs / 220 lbs and the subject device HEARTWAY Power Mobility Scooter Cutie Mini S16 is 135 kgs / 300 lbs. In order to load a heavier user, the subject device must be equipped with larger seat height and larger castors and rear wheels. In order to have a longer cruise range, the

Image /page/10/Picture/9 description: The image contains two logos on a white background. The first logo is the "TUV CERT" logo, which is a blue logo with the letters "TUV" on top of the word "CERT". The second logo is a rounded rectangle with the text "ISO-9001 CERTIFICATED" inside. The text is in a simple, sans-serif font.
motor power and the battery capability must be larger seat height can thus load a larger battery volume. The larger castors and rear wheels lead to larger turning radius, ground clearance, kerb climbing ability. Finally, larger seat height, larger castors and rear wheels, bigger battery add to a heavier weight of the power scooter. The pneumatic tires for the subject device can absorb more impact while driving than the solid tires for the predicate device, thus leading to more comfort. Under normal driving and maintenance conditions, pneumatic tires have the same safety and effectiveness concerns as the solid tires.
In a word, the subject device has a higher seat due to the above considerations and thus possessing a higher center of weight, which leads to less stable capabilities and more tip over hazard when moving fast. So, the maximum speed of the subject device is reduced to a safety level. It is 6.0 km/h (3.6 mile/h) for subject device and 7.8 km/h (4.875 mile/h) for predicate device. This limitation can bring more safety level and reduce tip over hazard. Thus, the main difference between two devices is the seat height dimension only. This main difference is equalized by limiting the maximum speed.
At last, two devices pass the performance tests in accordance with ISO 7176 series standards and the ANSI / RESNA WC-2, Section 21 for the EMC test. The overall performances of the two devices are substantially equivalent.
#### CONCLUSIONS
The subject device, HEARTWAY Power Mobility Scooter, Cutie Mini S16, is as safe and effective as, and functions in a manner equivalent to the predicate device, HEARTWAY Lightweight Power Mobility Scooter S34. The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed device identified in the submission. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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).

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.
