# Description of the CS Medical TEEClean® Automated TEE Probe Cleaner
Disinfector with TEEZyme® Cleaner and TD-5® or TD-8ª High-Level Disinfectants
The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector provides cleaning and high-level disinfection of transesophageal (TEE) ultrasound probes when used according to the operating instructions and when used with TEEZyme® enzymatic cleaner and TD-5® or TD-8 disinfectant. The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector iss for use only with TEEZyme®
enzymatic cleaner and TD-5® or TD-8® disinfectant. Thus, the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector, TEEZyme® enzymatic cleaner, and TD-5º or TD-8º disinfectant represent a dedicated system. Each soiled TEE probe is bedside cleaned to the TEE probe manufacturer's instructions before insertion into the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector. A fresh, unopened bottle of TD-5° or TD-8° disinfectant is loaded into the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector. The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector heats the TEEZyme®, soaks the
{4}------------------------------------------------
TEE probe, and thoroughly rinses the enzymatic cleaner off the TEE probe before the cleaning cycle is complete. The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector then heats TD-5® or TD-® disinfectant to 38°-40°C, soaks the TEE probe at least five (5) minutes, and then thoroughly rinses the disinfectant off the TEE probe before the disinfection cycle is complete. The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector prints a verification report indicating a successful cleaning and disinfection cycles as well as the time and the average temperature during the disinfection. The TEE probe is then removed from the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector and dried according to the TEE probe manufacturer's instructions. The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector is ready for a new cycle immediately after the preceding cycle is completed. Because a fresh bottle of TD-5% or TD-80 disinfectant is used with each cycle, no monitoring of the disinfectant's potency is required, nor is there any requirement for daily testing of the disinfectant solution.

## Non-Clinical Testing:
#### Software Validation
All qualification activities defined in the TEEClean® Master Verification and Validation Plan were successfully completed and provided documented evidence that the TEEClean® consistently performs as intended. All data collected during test execution met the established acceptance criteria, was recorded on the data forms, and satisfactorily completed. The TEEClean® Verification and Validation Summary Report
{12}------------------------------------------------
and the associated qualification documents for the TEEClean® detail the successful completion of all requirements of the TEEClean® Master Verification and Validation Plan.
#### Electrical Safety Testing
The TEEClean® cleaner disinfector has been investigated and passed all testing in accordance with UL 61010-1, 3rd Edition; Standard for Safety, Electrical Equipment For Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use; Part 1: General Requirements; Rev. April 29, 2016 and UL 61010-2-040, 2nd Edition; Standard for Safety, Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use Part 2-040: Particular Requirements for Sterilizers and Washer-Disinfectors Used To Treat Medical Materials: Rev. January 15. 2016
#### Biocompatibility
Rinsing studies were performed on the rinsing the TEE probe shaft receives from the TEEClean cleaner disinfector after cleaning. Measured concentrations of the enzymes (TEEZyme® Cleaner) were taken from the rinse water and were judged acceptable.
Rinsing studies were performed on the rinsing the TEE probe shaft receives from the TEEClean cleaner disinfector after high-level disinfection. Measured concentrations of the disinfectant aldehydes (glutaraldehyde for TD-5® disinfectant, ortho-phthalaldehyde for TD-8® disinfectant) were taken from the rinse water and were judged acceptable.
Cytotoxicity testing was performed on TEE probes reprocessed in the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector with TD-5 and TD-8°. All probes passed and were considered noncytotoxic.
#### Performance Testing
Disinfectant (TD-5 and TD-80) vapor exposure studies were performed in a room with zero air exchanges and showed the main vapor management filter has capacity for 12 months of use.
Automated Simulated use studies with TEEZyme® Cleaner were conducted in the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector. In all cases there was a measurable reduction of soils to levels to allow for subsequent, successful high-level disinfection.
Automated Simulated use studies with TD-5 and TD-8 were conducted in the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector. In all cases there was a measurably complete kill of microorganisms after TEE probe processing.
{13}------------------------------------------------
After routine clinical use, soiled TEE probes were subjected to cleaning and disinfection in the TEEClean® cleaner disinfector with TEEZyme® Cleaner and TD-5° or TD-8° disinfectant with standard operating parameters. In all cases there was a measurably complete kill of microorganisms after TEE probe processing.
### Conclusion:
Based on the intended use, technological characteristics and non-clinical performance data, the TEEClean® Automated TEE Probe Cleaner Disinfector with TEEZyme® Cleaner and TD-5 or TD-8 High-Level Disinfectants is as safe, as effective, and performs as well or better than the legally marketed predicate device TD 100% Disinfector with TD-5 and TD-8 High Level Disinfectants (K160921).

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.
