Indications for Use
The BTL-699 is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. The BTL-699 is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The BTL-699 is indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adolescent patients (age 15-21).
Device Story
BTL-699 is a non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) system. It generates and delivers magnetic fields to induce electrical currents in targeted areas of the human cerebral cortex (left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for MDD; dorsomedial prefrontal cortex for OCD). The system comprises a mobile console with a color touch screen, an applicator system with an air-forced cooling stimulation coil, an applicator arm, and a headrest. The operator (clinician) uses the GUI to set therapeutic parameters and guide positioning. The device delivers biphasic magnetic pulses at intensities based on the patient's motor threshold. It is used in clinical settings to treat MDD and OCD. The output affects neuronal activity in the brain, potentially benefiting patients by alleviating depressive and anxiety symptoms. The device includes a therapy discomfort button for patient safety.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electromagnetic field mapping and compliance with safety standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 10993).
Technological Characteristics
Mobile console with GUI; figure-of-eight air-core stimulation coil; air-forced cooling system; biphasic pulse type; frequency range 0-150 Hz; stimulation intensity 0-1.8 SMT. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 10993 series.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and comorbid anxiety symptoms who failed prior antidepressant treatment; adjunct treatment for adult patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD); adjunct treatment for adolescent patients (age 15-21) with Major Depressive Disorder.

## Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The table A) above (product codes OBP and QCI) compares the BTL-699 device to the identified predicate device, MagVenture TMS Therapy System (K251119), with respect to indications for use and technological characteristics, including principles of operation, device design, and output stimulation parameters. These comparisons provide the basis for the determination of substantial equivalence.
The subject device has the same indications for use as the predicate device. Both devices are indicated to deliver transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy at a defined intensity using repetitive pulse trains composed of brief, rapidly alternating magnetic fields that induce electrical currents in targeted cortical areas.
The operational procedures for both devices are substantially equivalent and include system setup, patient preparation, motor threshold determination, coil positioning, and patient treatment using predefined stimulation parameters. Both devices target the same anatomical region of the brain.
A combination of primary, secondary, and third predicate devices was used to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate devices. Secondary predicates are presented in the comparison table to reference previously cleared devices from the same manufacturer for the part of indications for use, which are the therapy of MDD and OCD in the adult population. The primary predicate is used to compare a legally marketed device with extended indications to include therapy for decreasing of anxiety symptoms for MDD with comorbid anxiety symptoms. The third predicate is referenced to demonstrate comparable field intensities achieved in deeper cortical layers for the requested OCD indication.
To demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device in terms of adequate safety and effectiveness for the treatment of OCD, performance testing of the subject device and a comparison of its magnetic and electric field profiles were provided. Although the maximum magnetic field intensity at a 3 cm depth of the subject device does not reach the values of its primary predicate device, the MagVenture TMS Therapy System (K251119), its performance profile and maximum intensity values at a 3 cm depth are comparable to the secondary and third predicate devices, namely the BTL-99-OC (K230657) and NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System (K233621). Furthermore, the magnetic field gradient, dB/dt (kT/s), and the scalp-to-3-cm-depth ratio remain within the range established by these predicate devices.
The comparison of the subject and predicate devices is based on bench testing and a detailed comparison of their electromagnetic fields. Performance testing, including comprehensive electromagnetic field mapping, demonstrates that the field characteristics of the subject device are comparable to those of the predicate devices. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and do not raise new or modified questions of safety or effectiveness.
The differences in the general technical parameters (capabilities) of the devices, such as pulse width, settable train and inter-train ranges, the maximum available operating frequency, the maximum available output intensity are attributable to variations in technical design. Since the parameters of the therapeutic protocol are identical for the subject and predicate devices, and the intensity of the delivered therapy is always determined individually based on the excitability of the specific patient, these differences do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness, nor do they have a significant impact on the safety or therapeutic effectiveness of the subject device.

### Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The table B) above (product code OBP) compares the BTL-699 device to the identified predicate device, MagVenture TMS Therapy System (K251125), with respect to indications for use and technological characteristics, including principles of operation, device design, and output stimulation parameters. These comparisons provide the basis for the determination of substantial equivalence.
The subject device has the same indications for use as the predicate device. Both devices are indicated to deliver transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy at a defined intensity using repetitive pulse trains composed of brief, rapidly alternating magnetic fields that induce electrical currents in targeted cortical areas.
The operational procedures for both devices are substantially equivalent and include system setup, patient preparation, motor threshold determination, coil positioning, and patient treatment using predefined stimulation parameters. Both devices target the same anatomical region of the brain.
Based on the detailed electromagnetic field mapping and comparison of both the electric and magnetic fields generated by the subject and predicate device, it can be concluded that the resulting stimulation field profiles in targeted tissue of the subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent. And, no new or different risks are introduced in comparison to the predicate device.
The differences in the general technical parameters (capabilities) of the devices, such as pulse width, settable train range, inter-train range, the maximum available operating frequency, the maximum available output intensity are attributable to variations in technical design. Since the parameters of the therapeutic protocol are identical for both the subject and predicate devices, and the intensity of the delivered therapy is always determined individually based on the excitability of the specific patient, these differences do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness, nor do they have a significant impact on the safety or therapeutic effectiveness of the subject device.

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.
