### Intended Use/ Indications for Use:
The HOLOSCOPE-i is a medical display workstation intended for 3D image visualization and image interaction. The holograms are generated from 3D volumetric data acquired from CT and Ultrasound sources. The device is intended to provide visual information to be used by the health care professional for analysis of surgical options, and the intraoperative display of the images. The HOLOSCOPE-i is intended to be used as an adjunct to the interpretation of images performed using diagnostic imaging systems and is not intended for primary diagnosis. The HOLOSCOPE-i is intended to be used as a reference display for consultation to assist the clinician who is responsible for making all final patient management decisions.
#### Device Description
The HOLOSCOPE-i is a software-controlled optical system that displays 3D holographic medical images. The system generates color 3D holograms from 3D volumetric imaging datasets acquired from standard imaging modalities such as CT and 3D ultrasound.
The HOLOSCOPE-i is comprised of an Optical Unit that creates the optical path for the generation of the holographic image; a system computer and electronics supporting the
{4}------------------------------------------------
Human Machine Interactions (HMI) and a graphical user interface (GUI) display; a cart and boom mechanical fixture that mechanically connects the Optical Unit and the system computer; and a 3D Control Device for interfacing with the hologram.
### Technological Characteristics / Principles of Operation
The HOLOSCOPE-i receives 3D volumetric medical imaging data from standard imaging modalities such as CT or US and generates a holographic display. The hologram, floating in air, provides a three dimensional image of the data and enables the health care professional to visualize the image at hands reach and directly interact with the image.
The digital data required to create the hologram is imported to the HOLOSCOPE-i from a PACS, USB or directly from a connected compatible 3D Ultrasound acquisition modality. This data is the input to the Real View algorithms that run on the system computer. The output of this process is a digital interference pattern that is subsequently digitally addressed on a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM). Once coherent light is projected on the SLM optical panel, the hologram is created and guided to the desired projection area via the optical system adjacent to the SLM.
The optical system consists of two separate optical channels, one per each eye. Each optical channel consists of an SLM. a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) coherent light source, a set of lenses and mirrors to direct the light propagation ending with the see-through evepieces that enable the viewer to see the hologram at arms-reach.
## Performance Data
The following non-clinical testing was conducted to evaluate the device:
- . Bench testing performance tests demonstrated the system meets its performance requirements by verifying the following elements: Resolution, sharpness, luminance response, low contrast response, contrast ratio, color representation and uniformity, 3D fidelity, object orientation and measurement accuracy.
- . Electrical safety was tested in accordance with ANSI AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012,C1:2009/(R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012 - Medical electrical equipment -Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance.
- . Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) was tested in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2:2014 - Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility -Requirements and tests.
- . System cleaning and disinfection validation was performed according to AAMI TIR 30:2011/(R)2016, AAMI TIR 12:2010, and FDA guidance:" Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" (March 17, 2015).
- . The biocompatibility of all user contact materials was evaluated according to ISO 10993- 1:2018 and FDA guidance on the use of ISO 10993-1.
- . Software verification and validation testing was conducted as required by JEC 62304 and FDA guidance on general principles of software validation, January 11, 2002.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- . Usability evaluation - the system was validated with intended users in simulated use conditions to ensure the user needs and intended use requirements were met. All tasks, including a critical task, were met and no new issues of safety or effectiveness were raised.
The following clinical testing was conducted to evaluate the device:
- The HOLOSCOPE-i was validated in an Expert Evaluation study. Ten adult 3DTEE . and ten adult CT images each with 5 pre-identified anatomical landmarks were reviewed by expert evaluators. All landmarks were identified for all images and ease of identification, as expected, was scored at least 3, with 99% of identifications scoring 5 (very easily). There was no difference in ability to identify the structures, or the ease of identification, under both dim ambient lighting and bright ambient lighting conditions. Overall the evaluators indicated an excellent, intuitive ability to perceive the spatial relationships of the anatomical structures directly from the image, similar to "real-life" 3D depth perception supporting the intended use of the system.
- . Substantial Equivalence was demonstrated in a comparative clinical study that measured features within 41 adult Mitral Valve images (19 normal, 22 pathological). The study demonstrated a high agreement in measurements, as compared to the validated reference device, similarly to comparative results previously published by the predicate. Measurements for annular diameters demonstrated very good agreement in terms of Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) between HOLOSCOPE-i and reference device (ICC 0.895; 95% Cl 0.810- 0.943 and ICC 0.906; 95% Cl 0.830-0.949). Very good agreement was shown for annular diameters in normal valves, as well as for pathological valves, with slightly higher agreement for pathological valves (0.864, 0.840 and 0.934. 0.943. respectively). Agreements in scallop measurements were low for both groups. Comparing the results of the True 3D Viewer to the reference device and the HOLOSCOPE-i to the reference device demonstrated similarity in the correlation for the Mitral Valve diameters and similarly low correlation for leaflet measurements. The study confirmed that that measurements of the Mitral Valve can be performed directly and accurately, within the 3D volumetric image and that the image quality of the hologram is sufficient for its intended use by enabling visualization of the measured structures and spatial understanding of the image and therefore support the substantial equivalence of the HOLOSCOPE-i to the True 3D Viewer software.
All performance testing demonstrates that the HOLOSCOPE-i performs according to specifications, as intended.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
