## Human Factors Validation Testing
A human Factors Validation Testing was done to evaluate the HFE/ UE concerns, including label comprehension/ self-selection and usability/ user interface studies (one arm, simulated use and summative evaluation). In both studies, participants had received the labeling materials of the device, and given enough time to read it according to their own wish.
Labeling Comprehension/ Self Selection Study was aimed at demonstrating potential user comprehension of the device labeling (mainly the outer package) in order to decide if device use is appropriate for her. It had included three main questions regarding the intended use of the device, treatment areas and possibility to usse the device according to the contraindication, with correct answers: ,,Yes" or "No", explenation and further validation by the moderator. A total of 43 participants, 2 men and 41 women, from age 18 to 65 years old (45 ± 13 years old) were enrolled to this study. Participants had different educational levels, as obtained by REALM testing with 20% below 9th grade level. All participants had met the inclusion/ exclusion criteria and signed ICF. 100% of the participants had reported correct answers, as further validated by the moderator («=1).
Usability/ User Interface Study was aimed at demonstrating the OTC user can correctly use the device, based on the labeling material for the intended aesthetic puspose. The study was focused on four use scenarios including 22 relevant tasks: "preparing and knowing the device" (7 tasks), "self-preparation" (4 tasks), "device usage" (7 tasks) and "after usage" (3 tasks). None of the participants had required assistance from the moderator while performing the tasks. Altogether, all tasks were completed by 100% of the participants, and the success rate (pass criteria) was 100% per each task scenario.
In addition, the vast majority of the participants (14 out of 20) had additionally commented that the device usage is easy and clear and they are curios and would

sensiLift — K170499/ S001
RD- 11118 B2
### Note No. 1. The energy delivered and electrodes architecture.
The method of RF delivery is the crucial factor, since it will dictate the penetration depth of the RF energy. Both sensiLift and predicate device are 1 MHz Bi-polar RF devices. The power energy output is an additional important factor for safe and effective treatment since it dictates the time required to achieve the desired heating. Both devices have similar maximal power consumption of up to 10 W and the effective delivered energy levels are set on time pulse basis (time modulation), with similar values for both devices.
The configuration of the electrodes affects the penetration depth of the RF energy as well as the treatment area and the current density. The differences in both devices configuration does not affect the safety and efficacy of the devices, as s

was further demonstrated using varies EMC tests, in-vitro comparisons (Performance Testing - Bench) and a clinical trial (Performance Testing -Clinical).
### Note No. 2. The treatment Regimen.
The treatment regimen of the sensiLift was especially planned to achieve its intended use in a safe and effective manner. Both sensiLift predicate devices are designed for the exact same anatomical site. Since the total exposure of the sensiLift device lower than of the predicate device, no safety issues are raised. Both the safety and efficacy of the sensiLift device for home-use environment for the intended use was validated in a clinical trial (Performance Testing - Clinical).
### Note No. 3. Device size and weight.
The size and weight of the hand-held device are basic unit characteristics with no effect over the intended use nor the safety nor the efficacy of the device. The sensiLift device was designed to allow ergonomic and fatigue-free grip during several minutes of treatments by the naïve user.
### Note No. 4. User interface and safety mechanism.
Both user interface elements and the safety mechanisms the sensiLift device were designed to meet the needs of the naïve user at home and to protect its user from any hazard (including several safety mechanisms). The added feature of the sensiLift electrodes to move along their axis does not alter the intended use nor affect neither the safety profile nor introducing new or additional risk factors. This movement ability of the electrodes is similar to devices classified as class 1 devices, exempt of 510K (Massager, Therapeutic, Electric; Product Code ISA; Regulation Number 890.5660). The suitability of sensiLift device for home-use environment and ability of the naïve lay user to use the device in a safe and effective manner was verified according to safety standards and further validated

in a Human Factors Test Validation (including self-screening) study and further validated in a clinical trial data (Performance Testing - Bench and Performance Testing - Clinical, respectively).
### Note No. 5. Biocompatibility.
The sensiLift device is made of similar materials that come into contact with user's body as already cleared for the predicate device (DEN150005) and for the auxiliary device (K140527 and K161089).
#### 11. CONCLUSIONS
Due to these identical clauses and high similarities, the sensiLift device is at least as safe and as effective as the predicate device, since they share the same intended use, technological characteristics, features, specifications and materials and anatomical site for use.
The differences between the sensiLift device and the predicate device do not raise new safety or effectiveness issues or questions, as detailed above.
Based on the performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, the sensiLift device is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared NEWA predicate device.

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.
