# T&R B
#### Discussion
Based on above comparison chart, differences between predicate and subject device are as follows,
# A. Indications for Use
The proprietary name of the proposed device is THERMOCLICK, and the predicate device is Microlife Non-Contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer Model FR1MF1-B. This difference does not raise any new safety and effectiveness questions.
# B. Sensor Type
The sensor type of the proposed device is only thermopile, whereas the predicate device has both thermopile and thermistor. It is not identical, but the safety and efficacy of the subject device is evaluated through performance testing. Therefore, the difference doesn't raise new or different safety and effectiveness questions.
# C. Display type
The display type is also different. But the LED display of THERMOCLICK operates identically to the display of the predicate device. The color-coded light on the LED display of the proposed device simply helps users to recognize which temperature range their measured body temperature is currently within. Software verification and validation testing have been performed on the subject device, and the results complied with the requirements. This doesn't raise new or different safety and effectiveness questions.
# D. Weight
Considering the weight of the two batteries, the THERMOCLICK weighs 133g, while the predicate device weighs 91g. Despite their weights, both devices are significantly lighter than a tall size cup of water, ensuring ease of handling. Therefore, the weight difference between the two devices is negligible and does not raise any safety or effectiveness concerns.
# E. Measurement Range
The THERMOCLICK has a broader range compared to the predicate device, extending coverage to include the 22~34°C range. However, the total measurement range of THERMOCLICK is in compliance with the ASTM E 1965-98 standard and does not raise any new safety and effectiveness questions.
# F. Measurement Accuracy
THERMOCLICK' measurement accuracy is ± 0.3 ℃ within 22.0 ~ 36.0 ℃ and 39.0 ~ 42.2°C ranges. But within 36.0 ~ 39.0 °C, the accuracy is ± 0.2 °C. Compared to the predicate device, THERMOCLICK performs with different accuracy in the 35 ~ 36 °C and 39 ~ 42 °C ranges. In these particular ranges, THERMOCLICK's accuracy varies by ± 0.3 ℃, while the reference device maintains an accuracy of ± 0.2 ℃.
{12}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/12/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for T&R Biofab. The logo is composed of the text "T&R Biofab" in a bold, sans-serif font. The "T&R" is in black, while the "Bio" is in black and the "fab" is in black. There is a blue graphic above the "Bio" portion of the logo.
However, the accuracy performance of THERMOCLICK complies with the established standards of ASTM E1965-98. The difference does not raise new safety and effectiveness questions.
#### G. Measurement Distance
The difference in measurement distances between the THERMOCLICK (within 2 cm) and the predicate device (within 5 cm) is indeed notable. However, the clinical accuracy was conducted in accordance with ISO 80601-2-56 and the test results met the requirements. Therefore, this difference does not lead to any new safety or effectiveness concerns.
#### H. Power supply and Memory Capacity
The subject device incorporates bigger batteries, which means bigger power capacity. The electrical safety testing and software validation were conducted. The test results met the requirements. The differences do not raise any safety and effectiveness questions.
#### I. Auto Shutdown Time
The proposed device differs from the predicate device in terms of the 'lead time for Auto-Shutdown', which varies based on the status of the Bluetooth operation. With Bluetooth operation turned off, the proposed device has a shorter lead time compared to the predicate device. Conversely, when the Bluetooth operation is turned on, the lead time extends beyond that of the predicate device. However, software verification and validation were conducted for the proposed device, demonstrating these differences do not raise any new or different safety and effectiveness concerns.
#### J. Operating Condition
The difference in operating condition is humidity factor. However, THERMOCLICK has passed humidity testing under conditions exceeding 95% humidity, in accordance with the ASTM E1965-98 standard requirements. The measurement accuracy results of THERMOCLICK fall within the acceptance criteria set in the Standard. Therefore, this discrepancy raises no concerns regarding safety and effectiveness.
#### K. Storage and Transport Condition
The storage and transportation conditions of both THERMOCLICK and the predicate device fall within safe and functional ranges for medical devices. The temperature range for THERMOCLICK is -20℃ to 50℃, which is slightly narrower than the predicate device's range of -25°C to 55°C. However, THERMOCLICK's intended temperature and humidity ranges align precisely with the ASTM E1965-98 standard requirements for storage & transport conditions. Moreover, THERMOCLICK has successfully undergone the accuracy test after storage and/or transport under these specific conditions and

The "fab" portion of the word is in black.
requirements. Therefore, this discrepancy does not raise any safety or effectiveness concerns.
# L. Bluetooth version
THERMOCLICK uses a Bluetooth version of 4.2 LE, whereas the predicate device uses 4.0. THERMOCLICK has successfully undergone the Bluetooth RF Test in accordance with EN 300 328 V.2.2.2 (2019-07), and the result met the requirement of data transfer. The difference does not raise any new safety and effectiveness questions.

# Conclusion
The subject device is substantially equivalent in the areas of indications for use, general functions & features, principle of operation, technological characteristics, and applicable safety standards. The new device does not introduce fundamentally new scientific technology, and the successful results of bench testing and clinical accuracy validation should be sufficient evidence of substantial equivalence. Therefore, we conclude that the subject device described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
