# Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir
### Intended Use:
The intended use remains the same as the intended use for the predicate device cleared with submission K130359. There have been no changes to the indications or intended use of the subject device as a result of the modifications.
The Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir is a hardshell reservoir used to store blood during extracorporeal circulation from both the venous line and the cardiotomy line. The reservoir contains filters to remove particulate matter and defoamers to facilitate air bubble removal.
The Hardshell Reservoir is also used for post-operative chest drainage and autotransfusion procedures to aseptically return blood to the patient for blood volume replacement.
The Hardshell Reservoir is also used with the vacuum-assisted venous return technique during cardiopulmonary bypass.
The Hardshell Reservoir contains X-Coating, which is intended to reduce platelet adhesion on the surfaces of the device.
The device may be used for procedures lasting up to 6 hours.
### Principles of Operation and Technology:
The principles of operation and technological characteristics remain the same as that of the predicate device cleared with submission K130359. There have been no changes to the fundamental scientific technology of the subject device.
The Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir device and the predicate Capiox® RX Hardshell Reservoir device are both used as a blood storage devices during and after cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. Venous blood enters the reservoir via gravity, or by way of external vacuum that may be applied to the reservoir.
Venous blood that is drawn from the patient enters the device via the venous blood inlet port. The blood passes through a defoamer to remove air bubbles from the blood and through a filter to remove particulates from the blood.
Blood may also be suctioned into the reservoir from the cardiotomy field. This blood enters the device through the cardiotomy blood suction ports. The blood passes through a defoamer to remove air bubbles from the blood and through a filter to remove particulates from the blood.
Blood exits the device via gravity through the blood outlet port and is subsequently pumped through the remainder of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.
### Design and Materials:
The design of the Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir is comprised of a hardshell casing that serves as a blood containment system within the bypass circuit. The upper portion of the
{5}------------------------------------------------
### SECTION 5-510(k) Summary Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir
reservoir consists of a hardshell lid assembly that contains the necessary inlet ports and vent ports. It contains a rotatable venous blood inlet port. The total capacity of the reservoir is 4000mL.
The venous section of the reservoir contains a filter for particulate matter removal and a defoamer to facilitate air bubble removal. The cardiotomy section of the reservoir contains a filter for particulate matter removal and a defoamer to facilitate air bubble removal.
### Differences in the design of the two Reservoirs are as follows:
- The design of the Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir device will include a curved ● venous inlet port and flared venous inlet drop tubes. The design of the predicate Capiox® RX Hardshell Reservoir device has an angled venous inlet port and straight venous inlet drop tubes. The intent of the curved venous inlet port is to improve air handling performance of the port. A curved design is more conducive to smooth flow than an angled design. The intent of the flared venous inlet drop tubes modification is to help minimize air emboli generation in the venous section of the reservoir.
- o The Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir device has a full-length graduated side scale label (decal). The predicate Capiox® RX Hardshell Reservoir device has a half-length graduated side scale label (decal). The full-length graduated side scale label (decal) enhancement offers greater visibility of blood volume during cardiopulmonary bypass.
- . The Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir device has a minimum operating volume of The predicate Capiox® RX Hardshell Reservoir device has a minimum 150mL. operating volume of 200mL. The minimum operating volume is lowered to 150mL to facilitate lower blood volumes during cardiopulmonary bypass.
### Difference in the materials of the two Reservoirs are as follows:
The materials used in the construction of the Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir include, but are not limited to, nylon, polycarbonate, silicone, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyester, polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate, polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate, polyethylene, and X-Coating™. PVC tubing with TOTM plasticizer has been cleared for use with Terumo's FX15 Advance Oxygenator with Integrated Filter and Hardshell Reservoir, K151389.
- The material used in the construction of the Capiox® Advance Hardshell Reservoir o device's venous inlet drop tubes and auxiliary tubing (blood-contacting) will be PVC tubing with Tris-(2-Ethylhexyl) Trimellitate, identified as TOTM plasticizer'. The material used in the construction of the predicate Capiox® RX Hardshell Reservoir device's venous inlet drop tubes and auxiliary tubing (blood-contacting) is PVC tubing with Di-(2-ethylhexyhl) phthalate, identified as DEHP plasticizer.
- . The intent of the PVC tubing plasticizer change to TOTM plasticizer is to address growing potential safety concerns associated with DEHP and to address increasing concerns related to the use of DEHP.
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems concludes that the differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not affect the intended use of the device nor do they affect safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.

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.
