Indications for Use
Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis software is an automated machine learning-based decision support tool, indicated as a diagnostic aid for patients undergoing CT analysis using Cleerly Labs software. When utilized by an interpreting healthcare provider, this software tool provides information that may be useful in detecting likely ischemia associated with coronary artery disease. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the results of the Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis.
Device Story
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is an add-on software module for Cleerly Labs; it processes quantitative measures of atherosclerosis, stenosis, and vascular morphology derived from Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) images. The device uses a locked machine learning algorithm to determine the likely presence or absence of vessel-specific ischemia. It outputs a binary Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (CII), where positive indicates likely ischemia (equivalent to invasive FFR ≤0.80) and negative indicates likely absence (equivalent to invasive FFR >0.80). The output is visualized in the Cleerly Labs interface by illuminating vessels red for positive CII. Used by healthcare providers in clinical settings to support functional evaluation of CAD. The device aids clinical decision-making by providing non-invasive functional information, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures; patient management decisions must not rely solely on this output.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical validation used data from the prospective, multicenter CREDENCE trial (n=612) and additional US/OUS cohorts. Primary endpoint was diagnostic performance compared to invasive FFR (reference standard). Pooled analysis (N=582 subjects, 1521 vessel territories) showed 76.2% sensitivity (95% CI: 71.9%, 80.3%) and 85.2% specificity (95% CI: 82.8%, 87.4%) per-vessel territory. Per-patient territory analysis showed 86.6% sensitivity and 69.8% specificity.
Technological Characteristics
Add-on software module; SaMD; client-server architecture (Google Chrome application). Uses quantitative measures of atherosclerosis and vascular morphology from CCTA as input. Employs a locked machine learning algorithm for ischemia detection. Risk management per ISO 14971:2019. Cybersecurity controls integrated within Cleerly Labs platform.
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinically stable symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing CT analysis using Cleerly Labs software to assist in detecting likely ischemia.

#### 4. Device Description
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is an add-on software module to Cleerly Labs (K202280, K190868) that determines the likely presence or absence of coronal vessel ischemia based on quantitative measures of atherosclerosis, stenosis, and significant vascular morphology from typically-acquired Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography images (CCTA). Cleerly ISCHEMIA, in conjunction with Cleerly Labs, outputs a Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (CII), a binary indication of negative CII (likely absence of ischemia) or positive CII (likely presence of ischemia) with its threshold equivalent to invasive FFR >0.80 vs. ≤0.80, respectively, as identified in professional societal practice guidelines.
#### 5. Intended Use / Indications for Use
Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis software is an automated machine learning-based decision support tool, indicated as a diagnostic aid for patients undergoing CT analysis using Cleerly Labs software. When utilized by an interpreting healthcare provider, this software tool provides information that may be useful in detecting likely ischemia associated with coronary artery disease. Patient management decisions should not be made solely on the results of the Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis.
#### 6. Summary of Technological Characteristics
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is an add-on software module to Cleerly Labs that calculates vessel-specific likely ischemia presence based on quantitative measures of atherosclerosis, and vascular morphology from typically acquired CCTA.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The Cleerly ISCHEMA data workflow begins after the Cleerly Labs outputs are approved for a study. A pre-processing module evaluates the eligibility of a study or vessels within the study for the Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm. The presence of certain identified anomalies can make an entire study ineligible, whereas the presence of a stent or exclusion in a vessel can make just that vessel ineligible. For all eligible vessels within a study, relevant Cleerly Labs outputs are aggregated from the default segment level to vessel level as the inputs to the Cleerly ISCHEMIA alqorithm to determine the likely presence of ischemia. The results will then be evaluated by a post-processing module, which ensures that vessels subtended to a likely ischemic vessel are also marked as likely ischemic. The Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm outputs a Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (CII), a binary indication of likely ischemia presence vs absence for a given vessel, which is equivalent to invasive FFR ≤0.80 vs. >0.80, respectively. Invasive FFR is a widely accepted gold-standard for determining vessel-specific ischemia. The Cleerly ISCHEMIA algorithm is "locked," meaning it is not a continuous learning algorithm.
Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index (likely ischemia / not likely ischemia) is displayed visually by Cleerly Labs to show the likely presence or absence of ischemia within epicardial coronary artery vessels. Vessels with Cleerly ISCHEMIA Index indicating likely ischemia presence (positive CII) are illuminated red, while vessels with Cleerly ISCHEMA Index indicating likely ischemia absence (negative CII) are not illuminated. Cleerly ISCHEMIA analysis is intended to non-invasively support the functional evaluation of clinically stable symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

#### 7. Performance Data
### Non-clinical Testing
Risk assessment, performance, and cybersecurity of Cleerly ISCHEMIA have been evaluated and verified in accordance with software pre-defined specifications and applicable performance standards through software verification testing. Verification testing confirmed that the software requirements fulfilled the pre-defined acceptance criteria.
The nonclinical verification test results established that the device meets its design requirements and intended use. During the development, potential hazards were evaluated and controlled through risk management activities. The performance testing demonstrates that the device meets all its specifications.
### Clinical Testing
Clinical validation testing was done to validate the diagnostic performance of Cleerly ISCHEMIA for non-invasive determination of the functional significance of CAD, as referenced to direct invasive
{6}------------------------------------------------
measurement of FFR as the reference standard. The Cleerly ISCHEMIA validation study used data from the CREDENCE Trial (Computed TomogRaphic Evaluation of Atherosclerotic DEtermiNants of Myocardial IsChEmia), a prospective, multicenter trial of 612 stable subjects with suspected, but unconfirmed, CAD who were referred for non-emergent clinically indicated ICA based upon MPI and/or CCTA. CREDENCE enrollees were recruited across 17 centers between 2014 and 2017. Eligibility criteria included referral to non-emergent ICA. All index tests were interpreted blindly by core laboratories. The study population comprised 612 patients with stable symptoms and without a prior diagnosis of CAD referred for non-emergent ICA. Patients were recruited across 23 centers. Trial participants were assigned to 2 subsets with the first half of enrollees at each site assigned to the derivation (n = 307) and the second half to the validation (n = 305) data set.
The primary endpoint analysis is provided in Table 2 below.

#### 8. Cybersecurity
As an add-on module to Cleerly Labs, controls over Cybersecurity risks for Cleerly ISCHEMIA are enacted within Cleerly Labs. Cleerly Labs has implemented security features for device and data protection. Cybersecurity requirements, risk analysis, and mitigation was addressed in accordance with FDA guidance, "Content of Premarket Submission for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices."
#### 9. Conclusions
Cleerly ISCHEMIA is as safe and effective as the predicate EchoGo Heart Failure device (K222463). Cleerly ISCHEMIA has a similar intended use and indications for use, as well as similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences between the indications do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. In addition, the minor technological differences between Cleerly ISCHEMA and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Cleerly ISCHEMIA is as safe and effective as the predicate EchoGo Heart Failure (K222463). Thus, Cleerly ISCHEMIA is substantially equivalent.

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.

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.
