# Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
Advantis Platform is the multi-organ post-acquisition image processing software provided by Advantis Medical lmaging Single Member P.C. Advantis Platform consists of two key modules, the Brain and the Prostate module.
The two modules are based on the same medical device system and share some common characteristics. Nevertheless, they are distinct from each other.
It has to be noted that the Brain module of Advantis Platform refers to the already FDA cleared medical device software Brainance MD (K202808).
More specifically, the Brain module and Brainance MD are identical with the only differences being their trade names and the fact that Brain is considered a module within the device Advantis Platform.
The Prostate is the latest module that the manufacturer has developed and included in Advantis Platform.
With this premarket submission, the new prostate module is introduced to extend the Advantis Platform workflow. Brainance MD on the other hand is now considered a module (Brain module) under the Advantis Platform software.

#### Notes
#### Note 1
The subject device and the two predicate devices make use of the client server model while the reference device operates on "Off-the-shelf" windows PC workstations. The aforementioned minor difference does not raise any safety or performance issues, as in all four devices, the user is presented with a graphical user interface that allows them to import exams, process and display them in two and three dimensions and finally store them. Even though one of the reference devices operates only on "Off-the-shelf" workstation from the user's perspective all devices are functionally equivalent. The aforementioned difference does not raise any safety or performance issues.
#### Note 2
The subject device and predicate devices can accept and proccess input data of both DICOM and Nifti format while the reference device can only accept and process DICOM data. The aforementioned difference does not raise any safety or performance issues.
#### Note 3
Advantis Platform is intended to be used for the processing of brain and prostate MRIs. In regards to the Brain characteristics the device is equivalent to the Primary Predicate Device 1. More specifically it is actually the same product but with a different trade name. With reference to the Prostate characteristics the device is equivalent to the Primary Predicate Device 2. The Primary Predicate Device 2 is compatible with MR images
{8}------------------------------------------------
from any anatomical site, amongst which prostate MR images. Advantis Platform is intended to be used with MR images including but not limited to prostate MRIs. As the intended use of Advantis Platform is overlapping with the intended use of the Primary Predicate Device 2 it is concluded that this difference does not raise any questions on the performance and safety of Advantis Platform compared to Primary Predicate Device 2.
#### Note 4
All of the brain related modalities processed by Advantis Platform, are also processed by the Primary Predicate Device 1 because they practically refer to the same device, having essentially identical principles of operation. Concerning the prostate related modalities Advantis Platform and the Primary Predicate Device 2 have essentially identical principles of operation.
### Software
Advantis Platform was successfully validated and verified against the requirements specification and its intended use. The results from the validation and verification activities justify that Advantis Platform meets the product requirement specifications and intended use, which is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
Validation and verification activities were conducted in a controlled environment and in compliance with IEC 62304, ISO 13485:2016 and 21 CFR 820. Advantis Platform is also in compliance with the DICOM standard.
The verification and validation activities conducted demonstrate that Advantis Platform is at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices and does not introduce any new risks.
### Performance
The performance testing conducted demonstrates that Advantis Platform is as safe and as effective to use as the predicate devices and does not introduce any new risks.
More specifically, apart from the standard software verification testing conducted and documented in compliance with the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and "Technical Performance Assessment of Quantitative Imaging in Radiological Device Premarket Submissions", a detailed comparative study was performed between the subject device, the predicate and reference devices on the basis of the core functionalities.
#### Performance Testing Summary
Concerning the Brain module of Advantis Platform no performance testing was performed due to the fact that the Brain module and the Primary Predicate Device 1 are actually the same product with different trade names. No change was made on the brain related functions.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Concerning the Prostate module, a comparative study was conducted in order to validate the equivalency between the results computed by Advantis Platform and the Primary predicate device 2 and the Reference device.
The maps that resulted from the processing were compared using ICC & Bland-Altman analysis on all valid pixel values for every subject in the dataset. The Weighted Cohen's Kappa statistic and its 95% confidence intervals (Cls) were used to assess interobserver agreement of maps consisting of categorical ordinal data.
The final results matched the criteria of acceptance/approval priorly set by the manufacturer and thus equivalency among the devices on a result level was proven.
### Discussion Summary
According to the comparisons among the subject device, the predicate and reference devices, we can conclude that the subject device does not raise any new potential safety risks when compared to the chosen predicate and reference devices and performs in accordance with its intended use.
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Substantial equivalence is based on the following observations:
- The indications for use and intended uses of the subject device and predicate devices are equivalent
- The subject and predicate devices consist of software applications which visualize and analyze MR data
- The subject and predicate devices are standalone software applications to facilitate the import and visualization of MR data sets
- The subject and predicate devices offer similar visualization and processing functionalities and incorporate well known and extensivelly tested methodologies
- The subject and predicate devices are intended to be used in the same environment and by trained healthcare professionals
- Performance testing demonstrates that the subject device performs at least as safely and effectively as the predicate devices
### Conclusion
Based on the information submitted in this premarket notification, and based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing and technological comparison to the predicate devices, Advantis Platform raises no new risks of safety and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

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.
