Indications for Use
The Zerona® Z-Bed Laser is indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment of body circumference.
Device Story
Zerona Z-Bed is a non-invasive body-sculpting device for fat loss. It utilizes 12 low-level laser diodes (635 nm) to emulsify adipose tissue, causing fat to leak into the interstitial space for natural detoxification. The device features a built-in laying surface, allowing simultaneous treatment of anterior and posterior areas, replacing the two-step process of its predecessor. It is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use by individuals without surgical intervention. The user lies on the bed while the device delivers 20 minutes of laser treatment per surface area. The system uses internal mechanics to collect light from diodes and process it through a patented lens and line refractor to create a line pattern. The device provides a non-surgical alternative for circumference reduction, allowing users to continue daily activities without downtime.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical study results were submitted. Substantial equivalence is based on technological comparison and bench testing, including functional performance, electrical safety, and EMC testing.

## Device Description
The Zerona® Z-Bed laser is specially designed for non-invasive fat loss. Zerona® Z-Bed is a new body-sculpting procedure designed for client's seeking noninvasive fat loss without invasive surgery. Zerona® Z-Bed allows the individual to continue their daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain, wounds or garments. The Zerona® Z-Bed works by utilizing proven low level laser technology to emulsify adipose tissue (defined as leakage of the fat out of the cell) which then releases into the interstitial space. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification. The Zerona® Z-Bed was built on the clinical foundation of its predecessors, Zerona® Z6 OTC, Zerona® and Zerona®-AD which were proven through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled studies to be safe and effective in the application of circumference reduction and noninvasive fat loss.
The Zerona® Z-Bed emits a 635 nanometer wavelength with a tolerance of ±10 nanometer, from each of the twelve specially created and patented electronic diodes. Laser devices are typically constructed to emit a "spot" of light. The Zerona® Z-Bed laser utilizes internal mechanics that collects the light emitted from the laser diode and processes it through a proprietary patented lens, and then redirects the beam with a line refractor. The laser applicator heads, each produce an output power of 17.5mW (± 1.25mW) measured, per non-convergent beams. Laser diodes and adjustable laser arms are positioned no greater than 3-4 inches away from the client's target treatment areas. In this position the diode emits a line width of 3mm and a mean length of 3.5in. (8.9cm), each line emits approximately (.0002 joules per cm² / minute) per area at 3inches and approximately (.0001 joules per cm2 / minute) per area at 4inches. The treatment time of 20 minutes would be approximately .004 /cm² at 3 inches and approximately .002 //cm² at 4 inches away from the skin.
The Zerona® Z-Bed laser device has been classified by the FDA/EC as a Class II/IIa device and a Class I/2 Laser. This designation represents a current standard for use in order to ensure the safety of the individual. A Class II/Ia Laser is determined to have a chronic viewing hazard. Pointing the laser beam directly into the eye and maintaining it there for an extended period of time could prove to be damaging.
The Zerona® Z-Bed laser device has been classified by the FDA Class II device and a Class 2 laser in accordance IEC 60825-1 (Complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 21 CFR 1040.11 by Laser Notice #50). The performance parameters and intended use of the Erchonia® Zerona® Z-Bed are compliant to the internationally recognized safety testing standards for medical devices. The testing of the Zerona® Z-Bed device includes functional performance, electrical, safety and component verification, in accordance with the FDA QS requirement, validated annually through ISO 13485 audits. The software incorporated into the operation of the Zerona® Z-Bed complies with FDA and ISO Software Development and Validation regulations.

## Conclusion
The Erchonia® Zerona® Z-BED (Model# JZB) is substantially equivalent to the Erchonia® Zerona® Z6 OTC (Model# SHR), cleared under K162578. The design change does not render the device not substantially equivalent, does not affect the safety or effectiveness, or raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
The only technological difference between the Zerona® Z-BED (subject device) and Zerona® Z6 OTC (predecessor device) is the addition of six laser diodes, which provides the means to administer the treatment to the anterior and posterior of the individual simultaneously and therefore eliminating the two-step treatment process, involving the individual treating anterior and then rotating over for treatment of posterior. This change does not affect the safety or effectiveness due to the Zerona® Z-BED (subject device) and Zerona® Z6 OTC (predecessor device) deliver the same number of diodes (6), laser power (17.25mW) and treatment time (20 minutes) to each treatment area (anterior/ posterior). Furthermore, both the subject device and predecessor deliver the same amount of total light energy (248 J).
Therefore, we conclude that the Erchonia® Zerona® Z-BED redesign (subject device) is substantially equivalent to the predecessor, Erchonia Zerona® Z6 OTC (predicate device), indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the reduction of body circumference

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.
