Indications for Use
The KIRO Set is a sterile, single-use disposable ancillary device used with the peristaltic pumps in the KIRO Oncology pharmacy compounding device for the transfer of fluids into sterile powder drug vials for reconstitution of intravenous drugs or into sterile medication containers for intravenous drug administration.
Device Story
The KIRO Set is a sterile, single-use tubing set designed for use within the KIRO Oncology pharmacy compounding device (PCD). It consists of medical-grade silicone tubing with a filtered vented bag spike for source containers and a male luer lock for connection to dosing spikes or final medication containers (infusion bags, cassettes, elastomeric pumps). The device is placed into the PCD's double-channel peristaltic pump, which drives fluid transfer from source containers to vials or final reservoirs. Used in ISO 5 pharmacy environments by trained personnel, the system operates as a closed fluid pathway, preventing contact between the fluid and the compounding device's reusable components. By automating the reconstitution and transfer process, the device aims to improve accuracy and speed in pharmacy compounding while maintaining sterility. Healthcare providers use the output—reconstituted drugs or filled medication containers—for subsequent patient administration. The device is not intended for direct patient connection.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), media fill studies (ISO 13408-1, USP Chapter 71) to confirm no microbial ingress, physical/chemical testing (ISO 8536-4), luer lock testing (ISO 594-2), dose accuracy, and pump stability testing.
Technological Characteristics
Medical grade silicone tubing; double-channel pathway. Components include filtered vented bag spike and male luer lock. Energy source: external peristaltic pump. Sterilization: Gamma radiation. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 compliant. Closed system design.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by trained healthcare personnel in hospital pharmacy environments for the transfer of sterile fluids (saline, 5% glucose, WFI, or aqueous diluents) into drug vials for reconstitution or into medication containers for IV administration. Not for direct patient contact.

#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The KIRO Set is a disposable sterile, single-use fluid transfer tubing set medical device that when placed in one of the double channel peristaltic pumps integrated in the KIRO Oncology pharmacy compounding device, the KIRO Set allows the accurate and fast transfer of sterile fluids from a large source container into a drug vial for the reconstitution of lyophilized drugs (powder), or into a final medication container from which an intravenous medication will be administered. Sterile fluids delivered can be saline (0.9% sodium chloride), 5% alucose, Water for Injection (WFI) or any aqueous diluent which is adequate for the dilution of drugs into the right concentration for intravenous administration.
The KIRO Set is comprised of medical grade silicone tubing with a central double tubing channel pathway for use in the KIRO Oncology peristaltic pump. The KIRO Set includes a filtered vented bag spike for connection to source containers on one end and a male luer lock connector on the outlet end for connection to a dosing spike to allow for dosing into vials for reconstitution or direct connection to final medication containers such as infusion bags, cassettes or elastomeric pump reservoirs.
The device is intended to be used inside the KIRO Oncology compounding area, which is an ISO5 environment for the compounding of sterile medications.
The device is provided sterile and is intended for single-use.
The KIRO Set is not intended to be used for direct patient contact.
#### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

## Media Fill Testing
A media fill study was conducted to demonstrate that the KIRO Set does not allow for microbial ingress into the internal fluid pathway during its use under worst-case use conditions in the KIRO Oncology pharmacy compounding device (PCD). The study design considered the test method described in ISO 13408-1:2008, Aseptic processing of health care products – Part 1: General requirements and Chapter 71 of the USP for Sterility Testing of Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSPs).
Media fill cycles of drug vials and reservoirs filled using the KIRO Set in the KIRO Oncology PCD reconstitution station using soybean casein digest broth (TSB) as the source diluent were designed to represent the worst-case use conditions which have the maximal potential for allowing microbial contamination of the KIRO Set internal fluid pathway. These simulations included conditions for the maximum number of connections to be expected in an 8-hour use session with simulated interruptions due to user errors.
The TSB filled vials and reservoirs and corresponding negative and positive controls were placed in incubation at the end of each working session for 7 days at 22°C with an additional 7 days at 35 C. The samples were visually inspected for turbidity indicating growth of microorganisms in the TSB culture medium for up to 14 days after incubation. Positive controls were found to be turbid after a minimum of 3 days of incubation at 22°C.
None of the media fill simulation vials or reservoirs filled using the KIRO Set showed any turbidity, thereby indicating that no growth of microorganisms occurred. The media fill study conducted demonstrates that the use of the KIRO Set does not present a risk for microbial ingress into the internal fluid path.
## Performance Testing
- Physical and Chemical Testing per ISO 8536-4 including Leakage/Tensile Strength . Testing
- . Physical Testing of Luer Locks per ISO 594-2
- . Accuracy of Delivered Doses
- Stability of the KIRO Set in the KIRO Oncology Peristaltic Pump ●
- . Distribution Testing
#### VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The performance testing conducted demonstrates that the KIRO Set performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Both the KIRO Set and the predicate device have the same intended use. The KIRO Set performance testing supports that any technological differences with the predicate device do not raise any different questions of performance for the device when compared to the predicate device.

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.

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.
