Indications for Use
The AXIOS Stent and Delivery System & AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery Enhanced Delivery System are indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts ≥6cm in size, and symptomatic Walled Off Necrosis ≥6cm in size, with ≥70% fluid content, that are adherent to the gastric or bowel wall. Once placed, the AXIOS stent functions as an access port allowing passage of standard and therapeutic endoscopes to facilitate debridement, irrigation and cystoscopy. The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or Walled Off Necrosis resolution.
Device Story
Device consists of a flexible, fully-covered, self-expanding nitinol stent preloaded in a delivery catheter. Stent features bi-flanges to prevent migration and maintain tissue apposition. Electrocautery-enhanced version connects to an external electrosurgical unit to facilitate tissue penetration. Used in the gastrointestinal tract by physicians via echoendoscope (3.7mm+ working channel). Stent acts as an access port for endoscopes to perform debridement, irrigation, and cystoscopy. Stent remains implanted for up to 60 days to facilitate drainage before removal. Benefits include minimally invasive drainage of pseudocysts and necrosis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included stent dimensions (saddle length/diameter, flange width), corrosion testing per ASTM F2129, fatigue, radial strength, and deployment force. Cytotoxicity screening was performed to ensure the manufacturing change did not impact device toxicity. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
Nitinol (nickel-titanium) braided stent, fully covered with silicone. MR conditional. Delivery system includes manual handle with staged deployment and lock-out mechanism. Electrocautery-enhanced version compatible with IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-2 compliant electrosurgical units. Sterile, single-use. Dimensions: 10.8 Fr outer diameter; 138-139 cm working length.

# 5. Indications for Use:
The AXIOS Stent is indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts ≥6cm in size, and symptomatic Walled Off Necrosis ≥6cm in size, with ≥70% fluid content, that are adherent to the gastric or bowel wall. Once placed. the AXIOS stent functions as an access port allowing passage of standard and therapeutic endoscopes to facilitate debridement, irrigation and cystoscopy. The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or Walled Off Necrosis resolution.
# 6. Technological Characteristics
The proposed AXIOS Stent is equivalent to the predicate AXIOS stent. A manufacturing change was made to remove the passivation/etching manufacturing step. This change was documented internally. The purpose of this 510(k) is to reinstate this manufacturing step. There are no changes to the delivery system for either the electrocautery-enhanced version or the non-electrocautery enhanced version. The stent dimensions and materials, intended use, delivery system, and mode of operation remains identical to the predicate AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery Enhanced Delivery system and AXIOS Stent and Delivery System cleared via K153088 & K163272.
## 7. Performance Data
Bench Testing:
{7}------------------------------------------------
The proposed passivated AXIOS Stent successfully passed all pre-defined product specifications and is equivalent to the predicate passivated AXIOS stent for the tests performed. There are no changes to the delivery system or the stent dimensions for the current AXIOS stents. Below is a summary of the tests performed to show the proposed device satisfied all design verification and validation requirements.
| | Test | Results (Pass/ Fail) |
|---|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------|
| 1 | Deployed Stent Saddle Length | Pass |
| 2 | Deployed Stent Saddle Outer Diameter | Pass |
| 3 | Deployed Stent Flange Width | Pass |
| 4 | Corrosion Testing via ASTM Standard F2129 Standard<br>Test Method for Conducting Cyclic Potentiodynamic<br>Polarization Measurements to Determine the Corrosion<br>Susceptibility of Small Implant Devices | Pass |
| 5 | Stent Fatigue | Pass |
| 6 | Stent Radial Strength –in expansion & in compression | Pass |
| 7 | Stent Deployment Force | Pass |
# 8. Biocompatibility Testing:
The proposed AXIOS Stent is equivalent to the predicate AXIOS stent. A manufacturing change was made to remove the passivation/etching manufacturing step. This change was documented internally. The purpose of this 510(k) is to reinstate this manufacturing step. There are no changes to the delivery system for either the electrocautery-enhanced version of the non-electrocautery enhanced version. The predicate biocompatibility testing conducted per EN ISO 10993-1 continues to be representative of the proposed AXIOS stent and delivery systems. Boston Scientific did conduct a Cytotoxicity test on the finished stent as a screening test to ensure the manufacturing change did not impact the toxicity of the device.
# Conclusion
The purpose of this 510(k) is to reinstate the passivation/etching manufacturing step for the AXIOS stents. The manufacturing change to the passivation/etching step has been reinstated and remains identical to the predicate AXIOS device cleared via K153088 and K163272. The information Boston Scientific Corporation provided in this submission demonstrates that the proposed AXIOS Stent is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared AXIOS Stents cleared via K153088 & K163272.

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.
