#### Indications for Use:
Class:
Wing is intended for monitoring FEV1 (Forced exhalation in the first second) and PEF (Peak Expired Flow Rate) for home use. The device is designed for pediatric to adult users. Wing is not recommended for children under 5 years of age.
#### Device Description:
The Wing® Smart FEV1 and Peak Flow Meter (Wing) is an electronic peak flow monitor, that measures Peak Flow and FEV1. Wing is not recommended for children under 5 years of age.
The Wing Sensor consists of a plastic shell and a detachable electronics module. The plastic shell includes a built-in mouthpiece and an acoustic transducer. The electronics module houses a PCBA with a microphone and a 3.5mm audio cable. The audio cable is plugged into the 3.5mm audio jack (headphone jack) of a smartphone to transmit audio data to the Wing Software. The Wing Software, which includes the Wing Mobile Application (Wing App), the Wing Signal Processing Engine, and the Sparo Labs Data Management System, is used to collect, transmit, manage, store, and calculate FEV1 and Peak Flow measurements.
When taking a lung function measurement, the user launches the Wing App, which serves as Wing's user interface, on his or her smartphone and connects the Wing Sensor by plugging it into the smartphone's headphone jack. The Wing App prompts the user to perform the lung function test after the user has indicated that they would like to take a lung function measurement. As the user blows through Wing Sensor, the acoustic transducer induces oscillations in the airstream and an acoustic tone is created by the airstream. The microphone, located in the electronics module, detects this acoustic

tone. The frequency of the acoustic tone (i.e. the number of oscillations) is proportional to flow rate of the air as it passes through the acoustic transducer. With flow rate and correspondent time, the FEV1 can be calculated. Wing is provided non-sterile.
### Predicate Device:
Wing was shown substantially equivalent to the previously cleared device: Microlife Electronic Peak Flow Monitor, with PEF and FEV1, Models PF-100 and PF-100-1 (with software) – K040723.
### Substantial Equivalence
### Technological Characteristics:
The Wing Sensor measuring principle is determination of respiratory flow using acoustic sensor (meeting ATS accuracy & precision testing) whereas the predicate device uses a infrared rotary flow sensor. Both technologies measure frequency of oscillation (or rotation) caused by the airstream to calculate FEV1 and PEF. Both devices meet ATS accuracy & precision recommendations. The Wing Sensor also uses a 3.5mm audio jack (headphone jack) to transmit data to the Patient Mobile Device (e.g. an iPhone), whereas the predicate device uses a mini-USB port to transmit data to a computer and associated tracking software. The Wing Sensor contains no battery and draws power directly from the Patient Mobile Device via the 3.5mm audio jack, whereas the predicate device is powered by 2 AAA batteries.
#### Performance Testing:
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination: Bench testing, biocompatibility testing, applicable electrical safety testing, and software validation & verification testing.
#### Bench Testing:
Wing was tested to and passed the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 24 and 26 Standard Waveforms using a pulmonary waveform generator, meeting ATS accuracy and precision recommendations for measuring FEV1 and Peak Flow.
#### Biocompatibility Testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Wing device was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing,"" May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA. The test articles were prepared in accordance with ISO 10993-12, Cytotoxicity testing was completed in accordance with ISO 10993-5, and Sensitization and Irritation testing were completed in accordance with ISO 10993-10.

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.
