Indications for Use
The equipment is intended to obtain positron emission tomography (PET) images of parts of the human body that fit in the patient aperture (e.g. head or breast) to detect abnormal pattern of distribution of radioactivity after injection of a positron emitting radiopharmaceutical. This information can assist in diagnosis, therapeutic planning and therapeutic outcome assessment.
Device Story
The SET-5002 is a PET scanner for head and breast imaging. It detects 511 keV gamma rays emitted from positron-electron annihilation following radiopharmaceutical administration. Detectors consist of Lutetium-based scintillator crystals coupled to Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) in a cylindrical configuration. The system records coincidence events; a computer reconstructs images based on quantitative radioactive distribution. Corrections applied include normalization, attenuation, scatter, random, decay, standard time, count losses, and cross-calibration. Operated by trained personnel in hospitals or clinics, the device provides images for review by radiologists to assist in diagnosing conditions like dementia or tumors and assessing therapeutic progress. The system features switchable head/breast modes.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation consisted of a reader study involving a board-certified radiologist reviewing 12 brain images and 6 breast images. The study assessed image quality for diagnostic utility in dementia progression and tumor detection. The reader confirmed that the SET-5002 provided acceptable diagnostic results, supporting substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
PET scanner; Lutetium-based scintillator crystals (e.g., LGSO); SiPM detectors; 30 cm inner diameter; 162 mm axial FOV; 2.5 mm FWHM resolution. Complies with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and NEMA NU 2-2018 (PET performance).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring PET imaging of the head or breast to detect abnormal radiopharmaceutical distribution for diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and outcome assessment.

- 4. Device Description: The SET-5002 PET scanner is designed to image the patient's breast or head which is placed in the aperture provided. The scanner can be easily switched from head to breast mode and back again with the push of a button on the control panel:
Image /page/3/Picture/6 description: The image shows two different types of medical imaging machines. The machine on the left is a bone densitometer, which is used to measure bone density. The machine on the right is an MRI machine, which is used to create images of the organs and tissues in the body. Both machines are white and gray and have a long, flat table where the patient lies down.
# Breast Mode
## Head Mode
This is the operating principle: When positrons are emitted from the radioactive drug administered to the patient, they annihilate electrons in body tissue. That process emits two annihilation photons (hereinafter "gamma rays") with an energy of 511 keV in the 180-degree direction. The PET System collects data by simultaneously counting both of these gamma rays using detectors arranged in a circular configuration. After collecting data for the specified scan time, an image is then reconstructed from that
{4}------------------------------------------------
data based on the quantitative distribution of the radioactive drug. The following corrections are necessary for obtaining a quantitative distribution image: Normalization, Attenuation Correction, Scatter Correction, Random Correction, Decay Correction, Standard Time Correction, Count Losses Correction, and Cross Calibration. Operation of the system requires trained persons. The system is designed to be operated in a controlled medical environment such as a hospital or clinic. The unit is supplied with a computer which acquires and stores patient images. The scintillator type is Lutetium. The detectors are SiPM (Silicon photomultipliers).

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.
