#### Comparison of Indications for Use of Subject and Predicate Devices
The Integrated Catch-Up Freedom Syringe Driver Infusion System and the Subcutaneous Infusion Set predicate are both intended for the subcutaneous infusion of medicines such as immunoglobulins using RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing Sets and High-Flo Needle Sets. In addition, the Integrated Catch-Up Freedom Syringe Infusion System is also intended to deliver intravenous medications such as antibiotics. For subcutaneous immunoglobulin G infusion, the subject device is intended specifically for subcutaneous infusion of Hizentra, Cuvitru, and Gammagard Liquid from the BD 60 ml syringe, similar to the reference device. The subject device is also able to deliver a variety of drug concentrations and parenteral fluids such as antibiotics. These indications for use fall into the general intended use of the predicate device as an infusion pump. The intended use of the FreedomEdge® Syringe Infusion System and the FREEDOM60® Syringe Infusion System are identical except for the fact that the FreedomEdge Syringe Infusion System utilizes 20 ml or 30 ml syringes while the Freedom60 Syringe Infusion System utilizes a 60 ml syringe. Both syringe drivers incorporate equivalent design and the same principle of action as the primary predicate device in order to provide controlled flow of liquid medications at a constant pressure with adjustable flow rates, operating for intravenous and subcutaneous infusion therapies.
#### Device Description:
- 1. Freedom60® Syringe Driver: The Freedom60 Syringe Infusion driver in combination with RMS Freedom60 Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ (sterile) and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets (sterile) makes up the Freedom60 infusion system. The Freedom60® driver is a non-sterile, reusable non-electric driver that infuses immunoglobulins subcutaneously and antibiotic solutions intravenously to patients.
The Freedom60® driver is an ambulatory device designed to accommodate a BD Luer-Lok™ 60mL Syringe (Catalog No.: 8881-560125, BD 309653), and fluid volumes ranging from 10cc to 60cc may be used. The pump uses a constant force spring mechanism to apply pressure to the plunger-end svringe.
The Freedom60 system is assembled by loading the prefilled syringe with tubing into the Freemdom60 driver.
- 2. FreedomEdge® Syringe Driver: The FreedomEdge® Syringe Infusion driver is used with a syringe in an infusion system for administering therapeutic fluids. The infusion system or related kits can include, in addition to the pump assembly, a luer connector or disc luer connector for connecting the syringe to components of the infusion system, an RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ (sterile) and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets (sterile) for administering the therapeutic fluid subcutaneously into a patient's body.
The FreedomEdge® driver is a portable device designed to accommodate BD Luer-Lok™ 20mL syringe, Catalog No.: 302830 and 301031 or BD Luer-Lok™ 30mL, Catalog No.: 301033. The pump uses a constant force spring mechanism to apply pressure to the plunger- end syringe.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The FreedomEdge® is comprised of housing that has a distal end and a proximal end. The housing comprises an expandable base with a first base section and a second base section. wherein the first base section is in sliding engagement with the second base section such that the first base section and the second base section move relative to each other between a closed position and an expanded position. The base in the expanded position is adapted to seat a syringe with the plunger.
There is also an expandable cover consisting of a first cover section and a second cover section, wherein the first cover section is in sliding engagement with the second cover section. The cover is pivotally connected to the base at a position allowing the cover to open and close in a sliding motion of the second base section, which is relative to the first base section moving together.
When the cover is in the closed position, a pusher is in sliding engagement with the base. The pusher is in position to contact the head of the plunger and a puller is in position with the sliding engagement of the base. There is a spring at the first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is connected to the puller, while the second end portion is connected to the pusher and a set of linkages pivotally coupled to the cover and the puller.
The pivots of the linkages are located to move the puller towards the distal end when the cover is lowered and move the puller towards the proximal end when the cover is raised. Moving the puller towards the distal end by lowering the cover when the syringe is seated in the base causes the pusher to contact and exert force on the head of the plunger, thereby causing ejection of any fluid contents in the syringe barrel.
- 3. Precision Flow Rate Tubing Set:
The Freedom60 Infusion system includes a range of Freedom Precision Flow Rate Tubing™. The tubing ranges from F0.5 to F2400. Each F-number provides a different level of flow restriction, which, when combined with the viscosity of the medication, provides a controlled delivery in an all-mechanical system. The tubing sets connect at one end to the syringe being used and on the other end to the Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets or directly on venous catheters for intravenous infusions as needed.
- 4. High-Flo Needles set: The HIgH-FloTM Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are used to administer drugs to the subcutaneous layers using small needles attached to the skin. Typical uses are to administer immunoglobulins and antibiotics and for such applications subcutaneous needles come in different lengths.
Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets comes in multiple configurations (single, double, tri, and quad). Needles are available in 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm lengths combined with 24 or 26 Gauge. Using the Y-Connector, the patient can have up to 8 sites for drug delivery.
The HIgH- Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets also allow each needle to be trapped between the wings after use.
## Technological Characteristics
The Freedom60® Syringe Driver is portable, requiring no batteries or electricity. There are only two operating knobs and dedicated tubing sets are used to control the flow rate. The Freedom60 operates at a constant pressure of 13.5psi. The constant pressure developed in the Freedom60 automatically decreases the flow rate if there is an increase in resistance during the delivery. The
{6}------------------------------------------------
system will find equilibrium between the increasing resistance and the flow rate. The FREEDOM60® is designed for 60ml svringes.
The FreedomEdge® Syringe Driver is portable, requiring no batteries or electricity. It starts to operate when the pump is closed. RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ sets are used to control the flow rate. The FreedomEdge® operates at a constant pressure of 13.5psi. The constant pressure developed in the FreedomEdge® automatically decreases the flow rate if there is an increase in resistance during the delivery. The system will find equilibrium between the increasing resistance and the flow rate. The FreedomEdge® has all the same technical characteristics of the FREEDOM60®, in a design for 20ml and 30ml syringes.
RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ controls the infusion rate within the Integrated Catch-Up Freedom Syringe Infusion System. Each F-number provides a different level of flow restriction, which, when combined with the viscosity of the medication, provides a controlled delivery in an all-mechanical system.
HIgH-Flo needles were designed specifically to work with RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ and a Freedom Syringe Driver as a total infusion system with multiple infusion options. It uses a specific backcut needle tip design. It has a flexible flying hinge and a custom luer designed to provide even flow to every site. Set options are available in single (1), double (2), triple (3), and quad (4) configurations. Using the Y-Connector, the patient can have up to 8 sites for drug delivery. Needles are available in 4mm, 6mm, 12mm, and 14mm in lengths.

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.
