The predicate device is also indicated for multiple and single users while the subject device is indicated for single users only. The differences in the indications and technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### 7. PERFORMANCE DATA
## Biocompatibility Testing
The patient contacting components, in their final finished form, are identical to the Smartpump 1.0 Double Electric Breast Pump cleared in K182749 in formulation, processing, sterilization, and geometry and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents). Therefore, no additional biocompatibility testing was conducted.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The milk contacting components are those components that are provided in the pump kit. All materials in contact with milk have been tested to meet FDA's Food Additive criteria (21 CFR 175-179)
## Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The Smartpump 3.0 Double Electric Breast Pump was tested in accordance with IEC 60601-1:2005 (3rd ed) + CORR. 1:2006 + CORR.2:2007+A1:2012 Medical electrical equipment: Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance including US deviations, with the exception of Clause 11.7 regarding biocompatibility.

## Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." and in accordance with IEC 62304:2016, Medical device software - Software life cycle processes. The software for this device was considered as a Moderate level of concern.
Cybersecurity documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices"
## Sterilization, Cleaning, and Shelf-Life
### Sterilization and Cleaning
The device is reusable, provided non-sterile, and is not sterile when used. Cleaning instructions are provided in the labeling.
### Shelf-Life
Shelf-life is not applicable due to the low likelihood of time-dependent product degradation. However, in accordance with IEC 60601-1:2005/(R)2012 the subject devices expected use-life is 500 hours. In testing, the devices were demonstrated to operate within specifications for up to 500 hours of continuous operation at the maximum setting (Expression mode 3, Level 8).
{7}------------------------------------------------
# Bench Testing
The following bench testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence:
- Battery life Testing .
Battery life was measured with the pumps at the highest level ((Expression Mode 3, Level 8). The "fail time" was defined as the number of minutes the pump could run at this level before dropping below specifications. Testing supports that the battery life of the device, as noted in the labeling, is approximately 2 hours.
- Suction Pressure Stability Testing ●
Devices were evaluated for suction performance at each of the available settings. The suction curves for each cvcle mode and suction level demonstrated that the device meets its specifications and performs within the specified working ranges of pressure and cycle speed for each mode/level.
- Backflow Testing ●
The Lansinoh pumps are designed as a closed milk collection system. The diaphragm provides a physical barrier, preventing breastmilk from flowing into the tubing or pump body. There have been no changes to the Backflow Protection mechanism materials used in the subject device since its previous clearance in K182749. Therefore, Backflow Protection data from K182749 can be leveraged to support the biocompatibility of the subject devices. The purpose of the backflow test is to demonstrate that the design prevents backflow into the tubing and pump. Devices were tested at maximum pressure/cycle settings (Expression Mode 3, Level 8) at various orientations to simulate worst-case conditions. The testing demonstrated that no milk was present in test devices' tubing during and following the test; therefore, the diaphragm was demonstrated to prevent back flow of milk into the tubing and pump.
#### CONCLUSION 8.
The results of the testing described above demonstrate that the Smartpump 3.0 Double Electric Breast Pump is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.

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.
