For use by healthcare professionals appropriately trained in ultrasound within healthcare settings utilizing ultrasound.
Device Story
UltraDrape UGPIV is a sterile, single-use, dual-action barrier and securement dressing for ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous (UGPIV) procedures. Device consists of a polyurethane film layer; dimensions 3.25" x 5.8". During procedures, healthcare professionals apply ultrasound gel to the film; the bifurcated design prevents gel from reaching the IV site while enabling catheter insertion. Device acts as a viral barrier against contaminants and biological risk agents; simultaneously functions as a transparent dressing to secure tubing and catheter hubs to patient skin. Used with commercially available ultrasound probes in healthcare settings. Benefits include reduced risk of contamination during needle-guided procedures and improved catheter securement. No impact on ultrasound imaging quality, acoustic output, or spatial resolution.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included viral penetration (ASTM F1671), tear resistance (ASTM D1004), burst strength (ASTM F1140), tensile strength (ASTM D5035), and acoustic measurements. Image quality and artifact testing (FTR-003) confirmed no measurable attenuation, no impact on depth of penetration or spatial resolution, and no introduction of artifacts.
Indicated for adults and pediatric patients undergoing needle-guided ultrasound procedures. Used by trained healthcare professionals in clinical settings to provide a sterile viral barrier and securement dressing.

## Indications for Use Comparison
## 21 CFR 807 92(a)(5)
The proposed device UltraDrape UGPIV and the predicate device Transducer Probe Cover have the following similarities:
· Both devices are single use, prescription-only devices intended to be used during needle-quided ultrasound procedures.
• Both protect patients against the transmission of biological risk agents and contaminants.
• The Instructions For Use for both devices include methods for safe disposal, safe storage and a warning not to use the product if damaged.
The proposed device UltraDrape UGPIV and the predicate device Transducer Probe Cover have the following differences:
• The predicate's Intended Use discusses protecting healthcare workers against the transmission of biological risk agents and contaminants; however, UltraDrape UGPV covers the patient's skin, and therefore protects both the health care workers and the patient from the transfer of contaminants and biological risk agents. Thus, the intended use is substantially equivalent: protection from contaminants and biological risk agents.
• The specific application instructions included in the Instructions For Use of these devices are different in order to accommodate the Transducer Probe Cover being applied to the probe while UltraDrape UGPW is applied directly to the devices are substantially equivalent because the instructions lead to application consistent with equivalent intended uses.
• The proposed device UltraDrape UGPIV IFU provides a warning that the probe cover should not be resterilized, while the predicate device Transducer Probe Cover FU does not. Since both devices are indicated as single use, and both should be discarded if damaged, resterilization is not indicated in either case.
• The predicate device Transducer Probe Cover IFU includes shelf life information (3 years), while UltraDrape UGPIV IFU does not; however, expiration dating (2 years) is clearly marked on all levels of UltraDrape UGPW packaging; the devices are substantially equivalent. Additionally, the differences in their expiration do not impact equivalence, because they have both been tested for safety and performance over their stated shelf life.
· The intended use for the UltraDrape UGPW includes more specific details on the operator qualifications and device use settings (For use by healthcare professionals appropriately trained in ultrasound within healthcare settings utilizing ultrasound); however, these details are not inconsistent with the specified use of the predicate device.
In conclusion, UltraDrape UGPV is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Transducer Probe Cover based on the above analysis of the similarities and differences between the devices.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807 92(a)(6)
{5}------------------------------------------------
The proposed device and the predicate device have the following similarities:
• Both use polyurethane film as a protection mechanism
• Both are available in a sterile format
The proposed device and the predicate device have the following differences:
- UltraDrape UGPIV Barrier and Securement has viral prevention aqainst 20 nm or greater viruses while Transducer Probe Covers has viral prevention aqainst 25 nm or greater viruses. However, this difference is not significant in terms of preventing the transmission of biological risk aqents and contaminants, and UltraDrape UGPIV provides protection against even smaller viruses.
· According to the predicate device IFU, it is sometimes distributed with qel; however, UltraDrape With qel. This does not affect the equivalence of the two devices.
• The Honey probe cover is sterilized via by ETO while UltraDrape UGPW is sterilized via gamma radiation. This does not affect equivalence because both devices are provided in a sterile format.
Thus, the technological features are substantially equivalent.
#### Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807 92(b)
The following test reports were completed for UltraDrape UGPV Barrier and Securement to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device, according to the following FDA recognized consensus standards:
-Viral Penetration: ASTM 1671 20 nm Rodent Protoparvovirus PB627-001-V2 (ASTM F1671/F1671-M)
-Tear Resistance: Tear Resistance Result UltraDrape (ASTM D1004)
-Burst Strength: UltraDrape DDL Package Validation Report - Burst Strength (ASTM F1140/F1140M-13)

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
