#### Device Description
QANGIO XA 3D is the Medis software solution for the quantitative analysis of cardiac X-ray Angiography (XA) studies. QANGIO XA 3D features:
- . Acquisition guide and series selection guide: A visualization method is provided to find suitable rotation and angulation angles for a second XA image if the first XA image is selected (acquisition guide). Another visualization method is provided to support the selection of matching XA images in a completed patient study (selection guide). Input: XA image. Output: XA image with required angulation compared to input image. Method: Comparing angulation information from DICOM.
- . Annotations and basic measurements: User tools are provided for basic textual annotations onto an XA image, to perform a simple distance or area measurement in a 2D XA image, and to create snapshot images of the screen. Input: XA image. Output: simple measurement results. Method: manual delineation.
- . 2D and 3D OCA vessel detection: 2D vessel boundaries are (automatically) detected of a user-selected coronary vessel segment in an XA image. The 2D vessel boundaries from two XA images of the same vessel under different angulation are used to reconstruct a 3D model of the user-selected vessel segment. Input: 2 XA images. Output: 3D model of targeted coronary vessel.
- 2D and 3D OCA vessel quantification: From the 3D model of the vessel segment, each ellipse is described by its two diameters, which are stored as a minimum and maximum diameter. The total set of diameters is called the "arterial diameter function". From the arterial diameter function, a so-called "reference diameter" function is calculated using a recursive method that fits a linear approximation through the diameters, excluding the areas that are considered narrowed portions of the vessel segment. Analogue to 2D X-ray angiographic analysis provided in our predicate device X-RAY VVA, all quantitative parameters provided by QAngio XA 3D with respect to a lesion are calculated from these arterial and reference diameter functions. By default the software will indicate the lesion with the most severe narrowing (minimal lumen diameter / area), which is defined to be the narrowing with the largest percent of area-stenosis. Further, the start and end point of the lesion will be provided, resulting in the calculation of the lesion. Other quantitative results derived from the diameter functions are: maximum diameter / area, average diameter over the lesion or the whole vessel segment.
{4}------------------------------------------------
- QFR calculations:
- Ouantitative Flow Ratio (OFR) analysis: The OFR value (ratio of the pressure drop) is calculated based o on computer calculations of the functional significance of a coronary vessel narrowing. The computation is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) principles applied to a 3D reconstruction of the coronary vessel segment (as described above) and one of the flow models. Input: 3D model of targeted coronary vessel and a flow model. Output: QFR curve describing the QFR value at each location along the centerline of the vessel segment. From this QFR curve function the parameters "Vessel QFR", "Index QFR", and "Lesion QFR" can be derived. Two different flow models are available:
- The so-called fixed flow model, which uses a fixed empiric hyperemic flow velocity, derived o from literature. Using this model will yield fOFR values.
- The contrast flow models the hyperemic flow velocity derived from coronary o angiograms without pharmacologically induced hyperemia (i.e the contrast flow was converted into the virtual hyperemic flow based on data derived from previous studies). Using this model will yield so-called cQFR values.
- The agreement between the fQFR and cQFR model has been shown in a comparative study. о
- о The QFR value is validated against the FFR value in several validation studies. The WIFI II study, FAVOR II Europe-Japan, FAVOR II China, OFR and Non Culprit lesions in STEMI Patients (and many others). For FFR, only the value at a specific point along a coronary segment is known. i.e. at the place of the pressure sensor, while the calculated OFR curve describes its value along the entire segment. For the comparison of FFR and OFR at a specific location, the OFR value is sampled from the OFR curve at the location of the FFR wire. Since this sample is at a different position in each analysis, it is admissible to see this as a validation of the entire QFR curve. From the QFR curve, three different QFR values are derived (i.e. samples of the QFR curve) and reported as output:
- The vessel OFR is the value at the end of the OFR curve; o
- The index QFR is a caliper at a user-defined position in the QFR curve; O
- o The lesion QFR is 1 minus the QFR drop between the lesion markers;
- Single vessel report: A report is generated by the software that shows patient information, image acquisition . information (both obtained from the DICOM input), analysis results (vessel sizing and OFR value) and snapshot images showing the vessel boundaries.
QANGIO XA 3D will be used by interventional cardiologists and researchers to obtain quantifications of lesions in coronary vessels, to determine the functional significance of the individual or consecutive multiple lesions, prior, during or after percutaneous coronary intervention treatment. OANGIO XA 3D has been developed as a standalone application to run on a Windows based operating system. The import of images and the export of analysis results are via CD / DVD, a PACS or network environment.
### Intended Use
QANGIO XA 3D is software intended to be used for performing calculations in X-ray angiographic images of the coronary arteries. QANGIO XA 3D enables interventional cardiologists and researchers to obtain quantifications of one or more lesions in the analyzed coronary vessel segment. In particular, QANGIO XA 3D provides:
- . Quantitative results of coronary vessel segments based on a 3D reconstructed model;
- Dimensions of the cardiovascular vessels and lesions;
- Quantification of the pressure drop in coronary vessels.
### Indications for Use
OANGIO XA 3D is indicated for use in clinical settings where validated and reproducible quantified results are needed to support the assessment of coronary vessels in X-ray angiographic images, for use on individual patients with coronary artery disease.
When the quantified results provided by QANGIO XA 3D are used in a clinical setting on X-ray images of an individual patient, the results are only intended for use by the responsible clinicians.
### Substantial Equivalence Information
The predicate device for QANGIO XA 3D is the CAASTM Workstation.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Especially this 2D vessel analysis (for the 2D XA project imaging) forms the basis for the 3D vessel analysis in QANGIO XA 3D. This analysis produces a 3D model of a coronary vessel from two 2D vessels detected in regular X-ray projection images. Similar functionality is provided by the CAAS™ Workstation (where it is called "QCA3D"). Further, QANGIO XA 3D provides visualization functionalities for 3D review of the model, which are also supported by CAASTM Workstation.
OANGIO XA 3D provides (see Intended Use description above) a quantification parameter called OFR (Quantitative Flow Ratio), for which a similar parameter is also provided by the CAAS™ Workstation (where it is called "vFFR").
From the Intended Use comparison it is concluded that the CAAS Workstation offers comparable (and more) functionality to the QANGIO XA 3D device. The main functionality, being 3D vessel reconstruction and the calculation of the pressure drop, are explicitly mentioned in the intended use and indications for use.
All functionality (including 3D vessel reconstruction and the calculation of the QFR pressure drop) is specified in the OANGIO XA 3D system requirements. All requirements are tested and all results of the tests performed are summarized in the software test statement and especially the requirements coverage matrix of QANGIO XA 3D proving traceability between requirements and tests successfully executed.
Extensive clinical evaluation has been performed based on both scientific literature review and clinical studies executed with the device. The quantified results provided by QANGIO XA 3D for the main functionality (including 3D vessel reconstruction and the calculation of the QFR pressure drop) have all been validated, both technically and clinically:
- . 3D vessel reconstruction: The reconstruction of a 3D model from the 2D vessel boundaries detected on two XA images of the same vessel under different angulation have been validated clinically in studies using OCA parameters and IVUS pullbacks in patients.
- . Quantitative Flow Ratio (OFR) analysis: The calculation of the OFR value is both technically validated. Estimates for precision of OFR are based on a strong body of evidence derived from multiple prospective studies. Two of the multicenter studies (FAVOR II Europe-Japan and FAVOR II China) show excellent results of true in-procedure QFR analyzed by end-users. In these prospective, observational, investigator-initiated multi-center studies QFR was evaluated for feasibility and diagnostic performance and agreement with pressure-wire derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) as reference standard. QFR and FFR were analyzed separately by different observers. The primary endpoints of sensitivity of QFR were compared to two-dimensional QCA (2D-QCA) with FFR as reference standard.
#### Conclusions
QANGIO XA 3D has the same intended use as the predicate device.
OANGIO XA 3D complies with international process standards (ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62366 and ISO 15223).
Testing, validation and clinical evaluation have produced results consistent with design input requirements. QANGIO XA 3D is a software-only device for which there no applicable mandatory performance standards.
During the development, potential hazards were controlled by a risk management plan, including risk analysis, risk mitigation, verification and evaluation.
Medis concludes that QANGIO XA 3D is a safe and effective medical device, and is at least as safe and effective as its predicate devices. The use of QANGIO XA 3D does not change the intended use of X-ray Angiography acquisition, nor does the use of this software result in any new potential hazards.

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.
