HipCheck provides static localization information derived from image processing of intra-operatively acquired X-ray images, by superposition of virtual measurement tools onto those X-ray images.
Device Story
HipCheck is a software application pre-installed on a mobile touchscreen tablet used intraoperatively by surgeons during hip arthroscopy. It processes intraoperatively acquired X-ray images to assist in determining the alpha angle, a metric for cam deformity in femoroacetabular impingement. The device functions by superimposing virtual measurement tools onto the X-ray images. The surgeon uses these visualizations to inform clinical decision-making regarding the procedure. The device is not patient-contacting; it is intended to be draped for use within the sterile field. It provides quantitative measurements to aid the surgeon in assessing hip anatomy during surgery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were conducted. Evidence consists of bench testing, software verification/validation, and simulated-use testing by surgeons and nurses. Testing confirmed the ability to generate, manipulate, and use overlays to determine alpha angles. Mechanical, electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), and EMC (IEC 60601-1-2) testing were performed on the tablet platform.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based image processing system provided on a mobile touchscreen tablet. Utilizes virtual measurement tools superimposed on intraoperative X-ray images. Alpha angle algorithm is based on the Femoral Head Detector algorithm from FluoroMap (K103400). Tablet complies with IEC 60601-1 (safety) and IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC).
Indications for Use
Indicated for surgeons to determine quantitative measurements during femoroacetabular impingement procedures.

{8}------------------------------------------------
### Discussion of Similarities and Differences
Primary Predicate (Dyonics Plan, K132636): Dyonics Plan is a surgical planning tool, in that its operational environment is primarily pre-operative, thereby outside the surgical suite. However, the software allows for the export of the plan in PDF or HTML format, which can be referenced intraoperatively. As such, the Dyonics Plan utilizes CT preoperative imaging for displaying 2D views and 3D renderings and provides virtual measurement tools for visualization and analysis of hip preservation treatment options. HipCheck's operational environment is primarily intraoperative, within the surgical suite. Since HipCheck is primarily used intraoperatively, it displays intraoperatively collected X-ray images, likewise providing virtual measurement tools for visualization purposes during femoroacetabular impingement procedures.
While the operational environment may differ, the intended use is the same. Dyonics Plan utilizes image processing of preoperative CT images and virtual measurement tools to visualize hip anatomy and plan preservation procedures. HipCheck utilizes image processing of intraoperatively collected X-ray images and virtual measurement tools to visualize hip anatomy during femoroacetabular impingement procedures. The Dyonics Plan and HipCheck have the same intended use, as defined in their shared regulation 21 CFR 892.2050. Though their indications for use statements differ, both are used in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement.
Secondary Predicate (FluoroMap, K103400): In addition to its clearance as an orthopedic stereotaxic instrument (OLO; 21 CFR 882.4560), FluoroMap is also cleared as a picture archiving and communications system (LLZ; 21 CFR 892.2050). This is due to the core functionality of FluoroMap's software that supports the acceptance, display, and digital processing of X-ray images in order for FluoroMap to function as intended. FluoroMap software facilitates image manipulation and quantification in order to achieve visualization of the placement of virtual implants and instruments.
Similarly, HipCheck shares this core functionality to achieve visualization of the placement of virtual measurement tools for the determination of alpha angle. HipCheck's Alpha Angle algorithm is built directly on the Femoral Head Detector algorithm within the FluoroMap software (K103400). HipCheck leverages the Femoral Head Detector algorithm from FluoroMap for its same intended purpose, simply in a different application.
While the primary function of FluoroMap is as a navigated surgical system for placing orthopedic implants, the how behind the device's ability to achieve its intended purpose is important in the substantial equivalence discussion for HipCheck.
{9}------------------------------------------------
#### VIII. PERFRMANCE DATA/NON-CLINICAL TESTING
Design verification testing was performed on HipCheck as a result of the risk analysis and product requirements. Testing included software and bench verification testing, as well as design validation. Design validation testing was conducted in a simulated-use environment by surgeon and nurse users. Users were successfully able to use the HipCheck as intended to determine the alpha angle and utilize the virtual measurement and visualization tools.
### Software testing
Software testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered to be of "moderate" level of concern since a failure or latent flaw in the software could indirectly result in minor injury to the patient or operator.
### Alpha Angle Performance Testing
Alpha angle performance was evaluated in both verification and validation testing performed for HipCheck. Verification testing was conducted based on the identified design requirements and software requirement specifications of the Alpha Angle Core Algorithm. Additionally, validation testing was conducted to ensure applicable user needs were met for generating, manipulating, and using the overlay to determine the alpha angle. All testing had overall passing results.
### Mechanical testing
Mechanical functionality testing included the following to ensure the device design meets user needs in the environment of use:
- Battery life -
- -Tablet weight
- -Tablet securement and attachment force to evaluate the connection between the tablet and its docking interface on the compatible operating table mounting arm
- -User interface temperature and functionality at operating temperatures
- RF ablation interference -
- -Mounting arm staying force
- Simulated-use testing -
### Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing was conducted on the compatible touchscreen tablet that the HipCheck software is provided pre-installed on. The tablet complies with the IEC 60601-1 standard for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

Image /page/10/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "stryker" in a bold, sans-serif font. The letters are all lowercase and connected, giving the word a modern and unified appearance. The color of the text is black, contrasting with the white background.
## Animal Study
No animal testing was conducted to determine the safety and effectiveness of HipCheck.
## Clinical Studies
No human clinical testing was conducted to determine the safety and effectiveness of HipCheck.
#### IX. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the shared technological characteristics and intended use, HipCheck is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate, Dyonics Plan Hip Impingement Planning Software (K132636), and the secondary predicate, FluoroMap Computer Assisted Surgery System (K103400). Differences between the subject and predicate devices' technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness of HipCheck. The results of the non-clinical testing conducted supports the safety of the device and demonstrates that HipCheck performs as intended in the specified use conditions.

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.
