therapeutic procedures in the esophagus and gastro-esophageal junction, however the predicate models (11301BN1and 11302BD1) cover additional ENT areas like nasal sinuses and larynx.
As to the design differences, The Karl Storz Trans-Nasal Esophagoscopes are manually operated surgical devices, that utilize fiber-optic technology. Whereas EE17-J10 utilizes the latest HD quality white light imaging combined with two forms of image enhancement technologies: i-SCAN and OE. To compare old fiber optic technology to the latest HD quality is not appropriate due to the modern technological advancements in the latter category that lead to superior image quality. Instead, PENTAX Medical will be using a cleared reference device EG17-J10 (K210177) with similar technology for performance characteristics comparison and substantial equivalence establishment between EE17-J10 and EG17-J10.
#### 4 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
### PENTAX Medical Video Esophagoscope EE17-J10
The PENTAX Medical Video Esophagoscope EE17-J10 is intended to be used with a PENTAX Video Processor, video monitor, endoscopic device and other ancillary equipment for optical visualization (via a video monitor) of, and/or therapeutic access to the esophagus and Gastro-Esophageal Junction. This anatomy includes, the following organs, tissues; and subsystems: Esophagus and Gastro-Esophageal Junction.
The EE17-J10 is composed of the following main parts: an insertion portion, control body and PVE connector. The insertion is inserted into the body cavity of patient. The insertion portion includes the distal end and bending section. The objective lens, light guide, instrument channel and air/water nozzle are located on the distal end of the insertion portion. The control body is held by the user's hand. The control body includes the angulation control knob, angulation lock knob/lever, air/water cylinder, suction cylinder, remote button, and instrument channel inlet. The air/water feeding valve is attached to the air/water cylinder, and the suction control valve is attached to the suction cylinder. The inlet seal is attached to the instrument channel inlet. The PVE connected to the video processor via electrical contacts.
The bending section is bent by the angulation control knob to operate the endoscope angulation. The angulation lock knob/lever is used to adjust the rotation torque of the angulation control knob.
The air/water feeding system is used to deliver the air and water to the objective lens from the air/water nozzle. When the hole at the top of air/water feeding valve is covered, the air is delivered. When the air/water feeding valve is pushed, the water is delivered. The suction control system is used to suction the fluid and air in body cavity from the instrument channel. When the suction control valve is pushed, the fluid and air are suctioned.
The remote button is used to operate the functions of the video processor and any external device from the control body, as necessary.

- viii. Clinical Image Capture Study
A clinical image capture study was performed to demonstrate the maneuverability of the EE17-J10 endoscope and its ability to capture images at each of the pre-determined anatomical areas when used in a clinical setting.
### Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
After analyzing the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics (including fundamental operating principle, energy source, scientific technology, functional characteristics, design features, performance characteristics, and constituent materials), labeling, and sterilization method, PENTAX Medical concludes that the subject device PENTAX Medical Video Esophagoscope EE17-J10 is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Intended Uses of the subject and predicate devices are similar, except for nasal sinuses and larynx that are excluded from the subject device and are therefore, substantially equivalent. The technological differences in terms of design features, performance characteristics and constituent materials are not substantive.
#### 8 CONCLUSION
Accordingly, PENTAX Medical believes the PENTAX Medical Video Esophagoscope EE17-J10 is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate, Karl Storz Trans-Nasal Esophagoscope models 11301BN1and 11302BD1 (K051972). Due to technological obsolesce of the predicate device, the design and technological characteristics of the subject EE17-J10 is compared to those of the reference device EG17-J10 (K210177). EE17-J10 and EG17-J10 are substantially equivalent in terms of endoscopic design, specifications and optical performance

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.
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.
