# 7. Substantial Equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1) and 807.92(b)(2)]
The subject and the primary predicate device share intended uses and apply similar technologies. The main difference between the two is the Dayspring utilizes mechanical compression whereas the AeroDVx systems utilizes pneumatic compression. They all automate manual lymphatic drainage and are used to reduce edema by compressing parts of the body to move lymphatic fluid. Compared to the primary predicate other than the differences in type of compression (mechanical versus pneumatic) both products have similar rechargeable energy sources. Both Products utilize similar materials of construction (nylon fabric with Velcro straps). There have been no changes to the materials, design, energy source or other features of the subject device that raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The Arm Sleeves agrees with predicate device labeling and does not change the intended use when compared to the predicate devices. Therefore, we believe the subject device is substantially equivalent.

The logo consists of a geometric design resembling a star or flower with eight points, each formed by small squares and diamonds. To the right of the geometric design is the text "Sun Scientific" in a modern, sans-serif font.
# 8. Technoloqical Characteristics [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)]
The AeroDVx Arm utilizes a rechargeable battery powered pump; the identical pump as approved under (k183349) all the original testing is still valid as no changes have occurred to the pump. The Arm sleeve is constructed of the same type of materials and gradient technology design as the primary predicate K210885 and the identical materials as the reference device k183349. There only difference between the subject device and the predicate is the predicate utilizes mechanical compression technology, whereas the AeroDVx utilizes pneumatic compression, there are no performance differences between the subject device and both the primary and secondary predicate devices. They are the same in terms of control mechanisms, operating principle, cleaning and disinfection, packaging. No design changes have been made since the AeroDVx 510(k) submission and clearance that would significantly affect the use and safety of the device as they share the intermittent pneumatic pump. The manufacturer's risk assessment has not identified any new or significantly modified risks related to design changes, to the arms for use. There have been no unexpected issues from verification testing, nor has clinical data been necessary to support any design changes. Similarly, there are no materials differences between the subject device and the primary predicate device. The manufacturer's risk assessment has not identified any new or increased biocompatibility concerns related to material changes. Thus, the subject device has no technological characteristics that raise different questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the primary predicate devices.
# 9. Performance Data

### 10. Clinical Testing:
None
### 11. Safety and Performance Data
Safety and performance data submitted for the previously cleared reference device AeroDVx system pump (k183349) supports the subject device as the pump used is identical. Bench top testing was performed to support substantial equivalence for the AeroDVx system with the Arm having similar pressure readings when used with the battery powered intermittent pneumatic pump when compared to the predicate device.
### 12. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The subject and the primary predicate devices share intended uses and apply similar technologies. The main difference between the Dayspring utilizes sequential mechanical compression whereas the AeroDVx system utilizes gradient pneumatic compression identical to the reference device k183349. They all automate manual lymphatic drainage and are used to reduce edema by compressing parts of the body to move lymphatic fluid. Compared to the predicate other than the differences in type of compression (mechanical versus pneumatic) both products have similar rechargeable energy sources. Both Products utilize similar materials of construction (nylon) and Velcro for the arm wraps. The Arm Sleeves agrees with predicate device labeling and does not change the intended use compared to the predicate devices. Therefore, we believe the subject device is substantially equivalent.

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.

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.
