Indications for Use
The V.A.C. Rx4 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System is an integrated wound management system for use in acute care settings and other professional healthcare environments where product use is conducted by or under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. When used on open wounds, it is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. Open wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure or venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts. The V.A.C. GranuFoam Silver™ Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration and may help reduce infection in the above wound types. When used on closed surgical incisions, it is also intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudates via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.
Device Story
V.A.C. Rx4 NPWT System provides negative pressure wound therapy to up to four wounds simultaneously; each channel features independent controls, feedback, and disposable canister. Device utilizes vacuum pump to apply continuous or intermittent negative pressure (50-200 mmHg) to wound bed or incision site via dressing and tubing; removes exudate and infectious material into canister. Used in acute care settings by physicians or nurses. Clinician selects pressure settings; device monitors system integrity via visual/audible alarms (leaks, full canister, blockages, temperature, battery). Promotes healing by reducing edema, preparing wound bed, and managing incision environment. Benefits include accelerated healing and infection reduction via GranuFoam Silver dressing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were necessary. Summative usability evaluation performed with 15 subjects across three user groups (physicians, surgical nurses, acute care nurses) performing ~50 tasks in simulated environment. Results demonstrated safe/effective performance of critical tasks and no unacceptable risk of harm.
Technological Characteristics
Four-channel software-controlled suction pump; 50-200 mmHg pressure range (25 mmHg increments); continuous/intermittent modes. Powered by mains or internal battery. Compatible with KCI dressing systems (GranuFoam, WhiteFoam, Gauze, Prevena) and 500ml/1000ml canisters. Includes sensors for pressure, air leak, canister status, and battery temperature. Alarms: visual/audible for system integrity and errors.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients in acute care settings requiring wound management for chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute, dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (diabetic, pressure, venous insufficiency), flaps, grafts, or closed surgical incisions. Use restricted to professional healthcare environments under supervision of qualified healthcare professionals.

### V.A.C.Rx4™ Neqative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System
- Fluid is collected into a disposable canister. One of the following canisters may be . selected by the clinician:
- InfoV.A.C.® 500 ml Canister o
- InfoV.A.C.® 1000 ml Canister o
- e The negative pressure wound therapy unit can provide continuous or intermittent application of negative pressure wound therapy in the selectable range of 50 - 200 mmHg (in increments of 25mmHg)
- . 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, when the canister is full, canister not engaged, blockage, therapy inactive, pressure deviations, system errors, internal temperature or low battery).
- . The device can operate either by a mains power supply or internal battery.
#### The following differences exist between the subject and predicate device:
- V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System has four independent . channels whereas the predicate provides one therapy channel. Each therapy channel consists of its individual canister and an interface with associated controls to provide NPWT for that channel.
- . The V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System contains additional alarms to monitor unit position and battery temperature.
- The software for the V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System . does not contain optional help functions, patient versus clinician access, therapy setting guides, log tools, on screen therapy history information, or wound image / measurement features.
- The V.A.C.Rx4™ Neqative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System is not intended to . be used in the home care setting whereas the predicate is indicated for acute, extended and home care settings.
#### Performance Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)]
Summary of non-clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]
- Bench testing demonstrated that the V.A.C.Rx4™ is substantially equivalent to the . InfoV.A.C. Therapy Unit in the delivery of negative pressure wound therapy at 50, 125, and 200 mmHq under an air leak rate of 1.4 Ipm in both continuous and intermittent modes and under both wet and dry conditions.
- Additionally, the ability of the V.A.C. Rx4™ Therapy Unit to provide NPWT within ● specification to each of the dressing configurations was confirmed for each channel. The ability of the therapy unit to control of negative pressure wound therapy, manage fluid and not generate false or unexpected alerts or alarms during normal operation was confirmed.

#### V.A.C.Rx4™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System
Summary of clinical tests conducted for determination of substantial equivalence or of clinical information [21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)1
No clinical tests were necessary.
However, the user interface was evaluated via simulated-use testing with users' representative of the use specification. Multiple formative evaluations led to the selection of an optimal user interface design in terms of use-safety and effectiveness.
Summative usability evaluation of the final user interface design was performed using 15 subjects from three users groups (Surgeon/Physician, Surgical Scrub/Theatre Nurse, and Acute Care Nurse). Subjects performed approximately 50 usability tasks in a simulated use environment.
The results of summative testing and a residual risk analysis demonstrate that intended users of the V.A.C. Rx4 Therapy System can safely and effectively perform critical tasks for the intended use in the expected use environment and that no use errors that may lead to unacceptable risk of harm are likely to occur. Risk levels [occurrence/severity] have been reduced as far as possible and any additional modifications would not further reduce risk.
Conclusions drawn [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The V.A.C.Rx4TM Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System and its predicate InfoV.A.C. Therapy System (K063740 & K120033) 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.
