#### 5 Device Description
The SilverHawk and TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System consists of a Catheter and Cutter Driver, which are packaged separately, but shipped and used together during the plaque excision procedure. The catheter consists of a flexible shaft designed to track over a 0.014" guidewire. At the distal end of the catheter is a small cutting assembly comprised of a rotating inner blade contained within a tubular housing. The proximal end of the Catheter contains a connector and positioning lever designed to fit into a small, disposable, battery driven Cutter Driver, which powers the device.
The SilverHawk and TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System each have two switches: 1) the Cutter Driver main power switch and 2) the Catheter thumb switch. The Cutter Driver main power switch supplies power to the device when turned ON. When the thumb switch is fully forward (OFF), the cutting blade is closed and stored in the cutter housing with the motor off. This position is used during delivery of the device to the target lesion. Once the device has been positioned the Catheter thumb switch is pulled proximally to the ON position to activate the drive shaft and engage the cutter. Pulling back on the Catheter thumb switch simultaneously turns on the motor and causes the distal portion of the cutter housing to deflect, forcing the device against the target lesion. At the same time, this motion exposes the inner rotating blade, preparing the device for lesion treatment. With the blade spinning, the Catheter is slowly advanced across the lesion, "shaving" occlusive material from the artery. The excised tissue is captured and stored in the tip of the device. The cutting process is completed by advancing the Catheter thumb switch distally, deactivating the drive shaft, disengaging the cutter, and aligning the cutter and housing. The Catheter thumb switch is fully advanced distally to the OFF position in order to move the cutter forward within the tip and pack the excised plaque into the tip. This cutting sequence is repeated as necessary to achieve the desired degree of plaque excision.
The SilverHawk and TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System uses the following materials: stainless steel, platinum/iridium, carbide w/ 12% nickel binder, titanium, delrin, polyimide, PET lined tecothane, pebax, nylon, Teflon, tungsten carbide, ABS, PVC, silicone, Santoprene, polycarbonate, polypropylene and hydrophilic coating.

## SilverHawk TM and TurboHawk" Peripheral Plaque Excision System 510(k) Summary
#### 6 Intended Use
The Intended Use of the proposed devices are the same as the predicate devices:
The SilverHawk and TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System are intended for treatment of de novo and restenotic atherosclerotic calcified and non-calcified lesions located in native peripheral arteries.
#### 7 Indications for Use
The Indication for Use statement of the proposed devices are the same as the predicate devices:
The SilverHawk and TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System are intended for use in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The SilverHawk and TurboHawk Catheter is NOT intended for use in the coronary, carotid, iliac, or renal vasculature.
The TurboHawk Catheter (THS-LS-C, THS-LX-C) is indicated for use in conjunction with the SpiderFX Embolic Protection Device in the treatment of severely calcified lesions.
The proposed change impacts the indications for use by removing contraindications that do not meet the FDA definition of a contraindication from the predicate devices. The removal of these contraindications does not change the intended use of the device. Additionally, removal of these contraindications would not significantly affect the safety and effectiveness of the device as these contraindications have not been demonstrated to present risks that clearly outweigh any possible benefits.
#### 8 Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The proposed SilverHawk and TurboHawk Peripheral Plaque Excision System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed SilverHawk and TurboHawk devices cleared by FDA under premarket notification: K111723, cleared October 27, 2011; K103618, cleared January 5, 2011; K061188, cleared October 23, 2006; K061063, cleared May 18, 2006.
The proposed and predicate devices share the following technological characteristics:
- Intended Use
- Fundamental scientific technology
- · Principles of Operation
- · Conditions of Use
- · Sterilization method, parameters, and sterility assurance level
Additionally, labeling, device design, device materials, packaging material, manufacturing process, manufacturing and sterilization site, of the proposed devices are similar to the legally marketed devices and would not significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the devices.

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.
