No reference devices were used in this submission.
# 2.4 Device Description
The CELON ProCurve V is a bipolar applicator that uses Radiofrequency Induced Thermotherapy (RFITT) technology for treating varicose veins. The medical purpose of the Radiofrequency Induced Thermotherapy is to achieve controlled tissue coagulation. The CELON ProCurve V is used in conjunction with a compatible generator.
# 2.5 Indications for Use
The subject device has the same intended use as the predicate device.
"The bipolar applicator, in combination with the compatible electrosurgical generator, is indicated for endovascular coagulation of blood vessels in patients with superficial vein reflux."
# 2.6 Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the CELON ProCurve V are considered equivalent to the predicate device. Both the CELON ProCurve V and the predicate device share the following characteristics:
- fundamental scientific technology (bipolar electrosurgery)
- principles of operation (endovascular coagulation of blood vessels with a ● catheter electrode)
- used in conjunction with an electrosurgical generator.
- Comparative testing demonstrated that the subject device has equivalent performance to the predicate in respect to applicable modes.
The following differences to the predicate device exist:
- While using radiofrequency technology for coagulation, the predicate . device uses the heat generated through the radiofrequency current.
- While the CELON ProCurve V is pulled slowly and steadily back through the vein and activated the whole time, the predicate device is placed at the first desired position and activated. Afterwards the predicate devices is
{5}------------------------------------------------
pulled back further until the next desired position within the vein and activated again.
- minor dimensional differences exist between the subject and the predicate device
As stated above, the subject and proposed predicate devices have similar design characteristics and show comparable performance. As demonstrated in the nonclinical testing (e.g., biocompatibility, tissue effects), the different technological characteristics do not negatively affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

### 2.7.4 Clinical Studies
Clinical and animal studies were not necessary.
### 2.7.5 Software
The CELON ProCurve V does not contain software.
### Performance Testing Bench 2.7.6
Performance tests were executed to ensure that the device functioned as intended and met design specifications. The following non-clinical and preclinical tests were conducted:
1) non-clinical (electrical, dimensional, functional, biocompatibility, stability) 2) preclinical (simulated use) evaluation and testing of tissue effects and thermal safety
Non-clinical: Basic safety and performance testing was performed in accordance with IEC standards. In addition, verification and comparison bench studies were conducted to evaluate the functional performance.
Stability: Sterile samples were subjected to accelerated aging to confirm that the disposable devices maintain functionality and continue to meet specifications over time. The results of the accelerated age testing demonstrate that the device will be stable for the stated shelf-life. In addition, real time age testing will confirm the results of the accelerated age testing. Samples were also subjected to environmental conditioning and ship testing.
Preclinical: Evidence obtained from preclinical simulated use studies demonstrate that the device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device in relevant aspects associated with usability, tissue effects, and thermal effects. For simulated use testing, three tissue types (porcine muscle, liver, and kidney) were evaluated in all applicable modes. The quality of intraluminal use was also verified for the applicable modes. The tissue effects testing included quantitative and qualitative assessment.
The ex vivo bench tests were based on three generator modes and three power settings which were applied five times to each of three different types of tissue. The
{7}------------------------------------------------
testing demonstrated comparable performance and tissue effects to the predicate. Additionally, in order to verify the quality of the intraluminal use ten ex vivo bench tests based on three generator modes and three power settings were applied to intraluminal animal tissue which also showed comparable performance and tissue effects. All tests passed.
To demonstrate substantial equivalence tissue effects were compared during comparative validation testing. The simulated use testing established substantial equivalence with the predicate device for the intended use based on an assessment of non-clinical performance data, as per 807.92(b).
These comprehensive validation bench tests support equivalence to the predicate device. Testing confirmed that comparable tissue effects could be achieved for applicable modes of operation.
Usability and user interface was also assessed according to the risk management plan. The assessment was based on Olympus predecessor product. Use-related hazardous situations were assessed and risk mitigation measures in terms of usability design for safety were defined. The residual risk was evaluated as acceptable. Risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established internal acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971:2007.

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.
