#### 1.1. Device Description
The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is designed to warm and humidify carbon dioxide (CQ>) gas after it leaves a commercially available insufflator (used to requlate the supply of CO2 gas into the intended body cavity) and thereafter maintain the CO2 gas in a warmed and humidified condition to the point of delivery into the patient's peritoneum via heated tubing.
The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is comprised of a reusable Humidifier (SH870 Humidifier), supply voltage cord (115V or 230V) and the single use, sterile Humidified Insufflation Kit (ST520).
The ST520 Insufflation Kit is ETO sterilized (SAL 10th) and provides all of the necessary components needed to deliver the heated, humidified CO2 gas during laparoscopic surgical procedures, including the insufflation tube, chamber, dry-line/filter assembly, funnel, and optional barb connector.
The SH870 Humidifier contains embedded software that controls the operation of the humidifier power and functions.
The HumiGard™ system conditions the CO2 gas by using a water-filled chamber that is seated on a heater plate on the humidifier. Once the heater plate warms to the target temperature, the heated water in the chamber produces vapour that humidifies the gas as it passes through the chamber. The surgical humidifier also provides power to the heating element (i.e., the heaterwire) within the heated insufflation tube to maintain the desired heat and humidity of the CO2 gas as it travels from the chamber to the patient interface (trocar/cannula).
#### 1.2. Intended Use
The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is intended to warm and humidify carbon dioxide gas from an insufflator prior to entry into the surgical cavity during laparoscopic surgery.

#### Technological Characteristics Comparison 1.4.
The primary differences between the HumiGard™ system and predicate Insuflow device are the point at which the water is humidified and the method used to humidify the CO2 gas.
The HumiGard™ system humidifies the CO2 gas proximal to the gas source, while the gas is humidified proximal to the patient with the Insuflow device.
The HumiGard™ system conditions the gas from the control unit by using a water-filled chamber that is seated on a heating plate. Once the heater plate warms to the target temperature, the heated water in the chamber produces vapour that humidifies the CO2 gas as it passes through the chamber. The Insuflow laparoscopic gas conditioning device provides humidification directly within the disposable filter heater/humidifier tubing set. The tubing set includes a heating mechanism, a small water chamber, and a "wick" of moistened material through which the heated CO2 gas passes and is thus humidified.

| | ISO 11737-2:2009 |
| ISO 11135:2014 | |
Test results demonstrate that the HumiGard™ system conforms to the above-referenced standards.
Biocompatibility evaluation of cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitization for the ST520 kit was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (June 2016). The results of the biocompatibility testing were acceptable.
The HumiGard™ system software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since it a failure of the device software could result in minor injury prior to mitigation of hazards, either to a patient or to a user of the device. The software validation documentation provided was complete and acceptable.
Performance verification testing of the HumiGard™ system consisted of temperature output, humidity output, flow rate, leak rate, compliance, maximum delivered enthalpy, surface temperature of the tubing, condensation, and outlet connection strength. The verification testing demonstrated that the device performs as intended and met appropriate acceptance criteria.
The results of the comparative bench testing demonstrate that the performance of the HumiGard™ system with respect to these key performance characteristics are comparable to the predicate Insuflow device.
#### 1.6. Clinical Performance Data
Substantial equivalence was did not include an assessment of clinical performance data.
#### 1.7. Conclusions
Based on the same intended use, different technological characteristics that do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and acceptable performance testing, the HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate Insuflow 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.
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.
