As noted in the table above, the differences between the subject and predicate devices include the indications for use, condom compatibility and ingredients. These differences do not alter the intended use or the fundamental technology of the subject device as compared to the predicate, and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The technological differences between the subject device and predicate were evaluated through performance testing as described in the section below.
# Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Data
## Biocompatibility
The subject device is intended to come into direct contact with the mucosa of patients for a limited (< 24hr) duration. Therefore, biocompatibility testing was conducted to evaluate vaginal and rectal irritation, systemic toxicity, hypersensitivity and cytotoxicity in accordance with ISO 10993 as described below.
### Cytotoxicity
The purpose of this test was to examine the test article under evaluation for cytotoxic potential. This test was performed per ISO 10993-5:2009. Based on qualitative evaluation of the mouse fibroblast cells exposed to the test article, the test article was demonstrated to be noncytotoxic.
### Hypersensitivity
The purpose of this test was to determine to what extent a test article has the potential to act as a contact sensitizer in guinea pigs. The assay was conducted according to the methods detailed in the ISO 10993-10:2010, Guinea Pig Maximization. Results from treated animals support that the test article is non-sensitizing. Under similar treatment conditions, all positive control animals used in the historical positive control study exhibited a strong sensitization response to the challenge dose compared to that of the control animals. The results from the historical positive control study demonstrate that the guinea pigs in the study reacted as expected when exposed to a known sensitizer (i.e., DNCB) and the results validate the sensitivity of this test.
#### Vaginal Mucosal Irritation
The purpose of this test was to assess the potential of the test material to produce irritation of the vaginal mucosal tissue in New Zealand White rabbits. This test was performed according to ISO 10993-10:2010. Vaginal Irritation Test. Based on the Irritation Index, the test article was considered a non-irritant to the vaginal mucosa.
#### Rectal Irritation
The purpose of this test was to assess the potential of the test material to produce irritation of the rectal mucosal tissue in New Zealand White rabbits. This test was performed according to ISO 10993-10:2010, Rectal Irritation Test. Based on the Irritation Index, the test article was considered a non-irritant to the rectal mucosa.
#### Acute Systemic Toxicity
The purpose of this test was to evaluate systemic responses to the test article following injection into mice. This test was conducted according to ISO 10993-11:2006, Acute Systemic Toxicity. Testing demonstrated that the subject device is not acutely toxic.
{6}------------------------------------------------
#### Bench Performance Testing
The following non-clinical testing was conducted: Condom compatibility in accordance with ASTM D7661:10 and age testing (ASTM F1980-16) to justify claims of 522 days shelf-life.
#### Shelf Life
Shelf life for the subject device is claimed to be 522 days. Accelerated aging testing was conducted per ASTM F1980-16, which demonstrated that the device met specifications for the proposed shelf-life.
#### Condom Compatibility
Condom compatibility was conducted in accordance with ASTM D7661-10 - Standard Test Method for Determining Compatibility of Personal Lubricants with Natural Rubber Latex. The subject device was found to be compatible with male natural rubber latex and polyisoprene condoms and incompatible with male polyurethane condoms.
## Summary of Clinical Performance Data
No clinical data were submitted to support substantial equivalence.
## Conclusion
The subject device has very similar indications for use to the predicate. Minor differences in the indications statements do not alter the intended use of the subject device. The subject device and the predicate have the same basic technological characteristics. Minor differences in technology do not alter the intended use or fundamental technology, and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The technological differences between the subject and predicate device were evaluated through performance testing, including biocompatibility, condom compatibility, and shelf-life. The results from performance testing support that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
