Indications for Use
The Prevena Plus Incision Management System is intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment, and removing exudate via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.
Device Story
System manages surgical incision environment post-closure; utilizes negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to remove exudate and maintain closed environment. Components include Prevena Plus Peel & Place or Customizable dressings and a KCI negative pressure therapy unit (Prevena Plus 125, ActiV.A.C., V.A.C. Freedom, InfoV.A.C., V.A.C. ATS, or V.A.C. Ulta). Dressings applied in OR; connected to therapy unit via SensaT.R.A.C. tubing and disposable canister. System provides continuous -125 mmHg pressure for 2-7 days. Therapy units feature visual/audible alarms for leaks, blockages, or full canisters. Clinicians use system to potentially reduce surgical site complications by drawing incision edges together and managing fluid. Prevena Plus 125 unit supports AC/battery power and larger canister volumes compared to previous iterations.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were necessary. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including pressure distribution analysis on simulated wound beds and alarm verification (leak, blockage, canister full) over 7-day continuous operation.
Technological Characteristics
NPWT system; -125 mmHg continuous pressure. Components: occlusive dressings (Peel & Place/Customizable), SensaT.R.A.C. tubing, disposable canisters (150/250cc), and therapy units (AC/battery powered). Connectivity: pressure sensing via tubing. Sterilization: not specified. Software: embedded firmware for alarm management and pressure regulation.
Indications for Use

The Prevena Plus Incision Management System is intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.
Summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicate device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)]
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy is the technological principal for both the subject and predicate Negative Produce Wound Though is the tosting on incision site that is closed via staples or sutures helps draw the incision edges together and removes fluid from the incision site. The occlusive drape of the dressing provides a negative pressure environment and protects the incision from external contamination.
The subject device system (Prevena Plus Incision Management System) is comprised of previously cleared components as shown below:

{5}------------------------------------------------
Summary of the technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicate device, continued
At a high level, the subject device and predicate device are based on the following same technological elements:
- The dressings that are applied over the incision site in the operating room are identical. One of the . following dressings may be selected by the surgeon, based on incision length and geometry:
- The Prevena Plus Peel & Place Dressing which can be used for linear incisions up to 8 inches, or o
- The Prevena Plus Customizable Dressing which can be configured for non-linear incisions or linear o incisions longer than 8 inches
- A negative pressure pump (therapy unit) is required that can provide -125 mmHg of negative pressure . continuously to the dressing for a maximum of 7 days.
- The dressings are connected to the therapy unit via a disposable canister and tubing set. .
- Incision fluid is collected into the disposable canister .
- The therapy unit provides alarms that indicate when negative pressure wound therapy may be . compromised (e.g., visual and audible alarms indicating an air leak in the system or when the canister is full).
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- Connection between the dressings and therapy unit canisters is via a SensaT.R.A.C. tubing set rather . than by a Prevena tubing set. This allows for pressure sensing at the incision site for all of the indicated therapy units.
- Use of the Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit requires a connector (Prevena Plus Connector) to connect the . SensaT.R.A.C. tubing to the canister. No tubing connector is required for use of all of the other indicated therapy units.
- Comparing the Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit to the Prevena 125 Therapy Unit, there are the following . technological differences:
- The Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit is both AC and battery powered, whereas the Prevena 125 o Therapy Unit is powered by batteries only.
- The Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit is provided with either a 150 or 250 cc canister, whereas the O Prevena 125 Therapy Unit has a 45 cc canister.
- The Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit provides a shared blockage/canister full alert whereas the O Prevena 125 Therapy Unit has a canister full alert.
#### Performance Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)]
Summary of non-clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
- The average distribution of negative pressure across the full length of the Prevena Plus Customizable . Dressing on a simulated wound bed under wet conditions and at maximum air leak demonstrated that the Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit and tubing set were able to provide negative pressure within specification at -125 mmHg, continuous mode for 7 days, equivalent to both the predicate and reference therapy units.
- The Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit was shown to provide alarms for leak, blockage and full canister . within specification when connected to the Prevena Plus Customizable Dressing and tubing set.
Summary of clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence or of clinical information [21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)]
No clinical tests were necessary
Conclusions drawn [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The Prevena Pius Incision Management System and its predicate, the Prevena Incision Management System (K141017) are substantially equivalent in terms of safety, function and indications for use.

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.
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.
