### VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
#### Bench Testing A.
The nonclinical bench testing conducted on the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System included design verification and functional product testing, sterilization validation, packaging and shelf life testing, and biocompatibility testing. Results of the nonclinical testing demonstrate that the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System meets the defined specifications.
### Design Verification and Functional Product Testing:
The XEN45 Gel Stent and the XEN injector were evaluated to verify that the design output met the original design input and intent. This testing was based on tests described in ANSI Z80.27, Implantable Glaucoma Devices. The results establish that the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System meets the design intent and complies with the applicable requirements.
### Sterilization Validation:
The gamma irradiation sterilization method was validated using the VDmas 26 method described in BS EN ISO 11137-1:2015 and BS EN ISO 11137-2:2015. Validation results demonstrate that a minimum exposure dose of 25 kGy has been substantiated for the routine sterilization of the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System to provide a 10-6 sterility assurance level (SAL).
{7}------------------------------------------------
### Packaging and Shelf Life Testing:
The XEN Glaucoma Treatment System is labeled with an expiration date of 3 years. The shelf life study evaluated the functional performance of the XEN45 Gel Stent and the XEN injector, as well as the packaging integrity of the tray sealed with the Tyvek lid. Additional testing was completed to evaluate the impact of environmental conditioning and distribution factors. Test results confirm that the XEN45 Gel Stent and the XEN injector meet their functional requirements and the sterile barrier (package integrity) remains intact after simulated distribution and aging. This testing provides the justification for the 3-year shelf life and the maintenance of the sterile barrier.
### Biocompatibility Testing
Biocompatibility of the final finished XEN Glaucoma Treatment System was demonstrated through testing in accordance with BS EN ISO 10993-1 "Biological evaluation of medical devices, Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (refer to the table below for a listing of all tests performed). Testing was performed for the Gel Stent material and for the injector components that have contact with the patient or the Gel Stent. All testing demonstrated that the device materials have an acceptable biocompatibility profile.
| Test | Results |
|---------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| Gel Stent Material Testing | |
| Cytotoxicity (MEM Elution) | Non-cytotoxic |
| Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization | Non-irritant compared to negative control |
| Acute Systemic Toxicity (Mouse) | Non-toxic |
| Intraocular Irritation (Rabbit) | No evidence of irritation |
| Bacterial Mutagenicity – Ames Assay | Non-mutagenic |
| 4 Week Intramuscular Implant (Rabbit) | Non-irritant compared to USP negative<br>control |

| Injector Component Testing | |
| Cytotoxicity (MEM Elution) | Non-cytotoxic |
| Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization | Non-irritant compared to negative control |
| Intraocular Irritation (Rabbit) | No evidence of irritation |
### Listing of All Biocompatibility Tests Performed on All Patient Contacting Materials
#### B. Clinical Evidence Supporting Substantial Equivalence
A prospective, multi-center, single arm, open-label, clinical trial was conducted at 12 sites in the U.S. to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the XEN45 Gel Stent in refractory glaucoma
{8}------------------------------------------------
subjects where previous filtering or cilioablative procedures failed or IOP was unresponsive to maximally tolerated medical therapy . Sixty-five subjects were implanted with the XEN45 Gel Stent and 18-month data were collected for safety.
The safety and effectiveness data from this clinical study establish, in the context of the publicly available data for the predicate devices, that there is no difference with respect to substantial equivalence in safety and effectiveness outcomes between the XEN45 Gel Stent and legally marketed predicate devices, confirming that the XEN45 Gel Stent is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
### Effectiveness
The results for the specified effectiveness outcomes (based on multiple imputations) are as follows:
- 76.3% of subjects were able to obtain a 12-month mean diurnal IOP reduction of . > 20% from baseline on the same or fewer IOP-lowering medications.
- The mean diurnal IOP reduction from baseline at the 12-month visit was -6.4 ± 1.1 (SE). .
The results of additional analyses are as follows:
- The mean diurnal IOP at baseline for all subjects (n=65) was 25.1 (+ 3.7) mmHg and the . mean diurnal IOP at 12 months (using only observed data) for the 52 subjects who were seen at the 12-month visit was 15.9 (± 5.2) mmHg.
- The mean number of IOP-lowering medications at baseline was 3.5 (± 1.0) compared to . 1.7 (± 1.5) medications at the 12-month visit (based on observed data)
The effectiveness data, when compared to the publicly available data for the predicate devices, demonstrate that the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System lowers IOP to similar levels as the predicate devices without raising different questions regarding effectiveness.
## Safety
The most common adverse events reported prior to and including the 12-month visit were: additional glaucoma surgery with or without device explant, hypotony defined as < 6 mmHg at any time point regardless of whether there were any associated complications or sequelae related to the low pressure, IOP increase ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline, and needling procedures.
In addition to the U.S. Clinical Trial, OUS data (e.g., Grover et al, 2016 AGS abstract "Describing the Development of a Minimally Invasive Collagen Stent for Treating Glaucoma: First 975 Eyes Treated with the XEN Gel Stent," p. 86 and post-market surveillance data from the European Union and Canada) were considered for thoroughness.
{9}------------------------------------------------
When comparing the adverse event profile of the XEN45 Gel Stent to publicly available data on the legally marketed predicate devices, the XEN45 Gel Stent is as safe as the predicates and does not raise any different or unanticipated safety questions.
## VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The XEN Glaucoma Treatment System has the same intended use as the legally marketed predicate devices identified in this 510(k) submission and all other aqueous shunts regulated by FDA under 21 CFR § 886.3920. The indications for use statement differs from those for the predicate devices, however, the differences do not alter the therapeutic effect of the device type and are based on clinical experience with the device. The XEN Glaucoma Treatment System's technological characteristics differ from the predicate devices, however, the differences do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. Results of the nonclinical testing demonstrate that the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System meets the defined specifications. Clinical data establish that the device effectively lowers intraocular pressure in refractory glaucoma patients demonstrating that the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. In summary, the XEN Glaucoma Treatment System is substantially equivalent to the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve and the EX-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device when used in the management of refractory glaucoma.

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.
