| Predicate<br>Device: | AMT Button Replacement Gastrostomy Device (K980305)<br>Capsule Monarch Trans shaping Gastrostomy Tube (K043027) |
| Intended Use: | The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device is indicated for use in patients<br>who require long term feeding, are unable to tolerate oral feeding, who are at<br>low risk for aspiration, require gastric decompression and/or medication<br>delivered directly into the stomach through a secured (initial placement) or<br>formed (replacement) stoma. |
| Device<br>Description: | The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device is used to provide nutrition,<br>medication, and decompression access into the stomach through a secured<br>(initial placement) or formed (replacement) stoma. The device may be placed<br>using one of two insertion methods including an 'obturator' insertion method<br>and a 'capsule' insertion method.<br>Capsule Insertion Method: The internal bolster of the device is encased by water<br>dissolvable capsule. The capsule technology provides a low-profile option that<br>is delivered by lubricating the capsule with lubricant, inserting the device<br>through the stoma site, and pulling on a pull tab that pulls a suture through the<br>capsule and deploys the internal dome. Once the capsule is deployed, the<br>internal dome returns to its uncompressed shape and the device is held in place.<br>Obturator Insertion Method: A T-Handle and ratcheting obturator rod (Snap<br>Arm Assembly) is used to extend the internal dome, decreasing the outer profile<br>of the dome. When the dome is fully elongated, the internal dome maintains a |
| | narrow profile that can easily be inserted into the stoma site with proper<br>lubrication. Once inserted into the stoma site, the ratcheting rod and T-handle<br>are removed and device is held in place by the internal bolster.<br>Once placed, both devices provide access to nutrition, medication, and<br>decompression into the stomach via a Mini ONE® feeding port. Both devices<br>are identical after placement regardless of the insertion method chosen.<br>Removal of feeding device can be performed by using a removal tool assembly<br>(Snap Arm and T-handle with removal tool reinforcer). Removal is done by<br>elongating the internal bolster to reduce the outer diameter of the dome,<br>providing for an easier removal process. The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding<br>Device will be offered in several different diameters including14 Fr, 18 Fr, 20<br>Fr, and 24 Fr and will be available in stoma lengths ranging from 1.0 cm to 4.4<br>cm. |
| | The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device is provided sterile for single use<br>only. The molded body of the Non-Balloon feeding device is made of medical<br>silicone. The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device consists of an external<br>bolster, feeding catheter, and internal retention bolster similar to the predicate<br>devices. The external bolster consists of a feeding port for access to the stomach<br>through the tubing of the device and a strap with a plug to close the feeding port<br>while not in use. In addition, an anti-reflux valve is included in the feeding port<br>area to prevent backflow of stomach contents while not in use. The feeding<br>catheter is inserted into the stomach through a stoma and is held in place with<br>the internal retention bolster. There are two different insertion methods for the<br>proposed device, the 'capsule' and the 'obturator' method. The 'capsule' version<br>includes a tapered capsule enclosing the internal bolster at one end that allows<br>ease of insertion and an obturator rod is pre-loaded in to the shaft prior to use.<br>The 'obturator' version uses a T-Handle and snap arm assembly for controlled<br>insertion and elongation through the device shaft. The Low Profile Non-Balloon<br>Feeding Device and the predicate devices are provided in a number of sizes to<br>accommodate different stoma diameters and lengths. |
| Technological<br>Characteristics: | Design Differences:<br>Method of Insertion: The proposed devices provides two different methods of<br>insertion ('Capsule' or 'Obturator'), whereas the predicate devices are only<br>provided with a single method of insertion. The Capsule Monarch Trans<br>shaping Gastrostomy Tube uses the same Capsule technology of the proposed<br>device but does not offer a Snap arm assembly and T-handle method for<br>insertion. The AMT Button Replacement Gastrostomy Device uses an insertion<br>rod to insert the device, but does not offer the level of control and repeatability<br>for insertion that the proposed device offers with the Snap arm assembly and T-<br>handle components. Both predicate devices don't use removal tools, allowing<br>the proposed device to have a more comfortable means of removal by avoiding a<br>necessary retraction removal. |
| | Interlock and Anti-Reflux Valve: The proposed device incorporates an<br>interlock for its feeding port, whereas the predicate devices do not have<br>interlocks. The proposed device incorporates an anti-reflux valve that is located<br>along the proximal end of the tubing along the external bolster. The Capsule<br>Monarch Trans shaping Gastrostomy Tube does not include an anti- reflux valve<br>and relies only on external plugs to prevent leakage. The AMT Button<br>Replacement Gastrostomy Device includes an anti-reflux valve along the distal |
| | the proposed device. |
| | The overall functionality and safety of the proposed Low Profile Non Balloon<br>Feeding Device remains substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. |
| Biocompatibility<br>Testing: | The patient contacting components of the Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding<br>Device are in contact with mucosal membrane and/or breached/compromised<br>surfaces for prolonged or permanent exposure. No additional biocompatibility<br>testing was conducted because the patient-contacting components in the final<br>finished device are identical to those in previously marketed devices (in terms<br>of formulation, processing, sterilization, geometry, nature of use, and duration<br>of exposure) and no chemicals were added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, additives,<br>cleaning agents, mold release agents). |
| Performance<br>Testing: | AMT conducted various performance tests on the components contained within<br>the Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device. Testing found that all<br>components and materials met or exceeded design specifications established by<br>AMT.<br>Bench tests have been carried out on samples of the Low Profile Non-Balloon<br>Feeding Device. The tests carried out included:<br>• Stoma Pullout Force<br>• Tip Poke-Through Force<br>• Snap Arm Body to Rod Attachment Force<br>• Snap Arm to T-Handle Snap Engagement Force<br>• T-Handle Tooth Shear Strength<br>• Interlock Pullout<br>• Time to Capsule Rupture<br>• Suture Deployment Force<br>• Ripcord Tensile Strength<br>• Pull Tab-to-Suture Bond Strength<br>• Liquid Leakage Test<br>• Flow Rate Test (Water and Viscous Fluid)<br>• Tube Tensile Test<br>• Obturator Bond Strength Test<br>• Duckbill Flow and Backflow Test<br>• Obturator Poke-Through Evaluation<br>• Obturator Push-Through Force Test |
| Conclusion: | The Low Profile Non-Balloon Feeding Device is substantially equivalent to the<br>predicate devices cleared under K980305 and K043027 in intended use, design,<br>biocompatibility, performance, and principles of operation. |

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.
