Indications for Use
Neonav is indicated for navigation and positioning of central venous access devices (CVADs) of at least 1Fr in size. Neonav provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity. Neonav is indicated for use as an alternative method to chest X-ray and fluoroscopy for all central venous access device tip placement confirmation. In adult patients and in adolescents (greater than 12 through 21 years of age), Neonav can be used with CVADs such as peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs), implantable ports, and hemodialysis catheters; in children (greater than 2 to 12 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and with CICCs; in infants (greater than 1 month to 2 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and CICCs; and in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs, CICCs, and umbilical venous catheters (UVCs). In each specific age group, the CVAD type and size must be chosen and the CVAD must be used according to the CVAD's indications and instructions for use. Limiting but not contraindicated situations for use of the Neonav are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, and pacemaker driven rhythm. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous access device insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.
Device Story
Non-invasive system for real-time tracking of CVAD tip location during/post-placement; utilizes patient's intravascular ECG (I-ECG) signals. Input: electrical impulses detected at catheter tip via conductive fluid or guidewire/stylet method; reference/noise-reduction surface electrodes applied to patient. Processing: Neonav Console analyzes I-ECG and surface ECG signals; displays real-time waveforms, QRS complex, P-wave, and heart rate. Operation: clinician-controlled via touchscreen or remote; used in clinical settings. Output: visual display of catheter tip position; assists clinicians in confirming placement without fluoroscopy or chest X-ray. Benefit: reduces radiation exposure; provides real-time guidance for accurate tip positioning.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective sub-analysis of PICC and UVC design validation datasets from observational clinical studies. Success rate >90% for all assessed software parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: biocompatible polycarbonate and stainless steel (indirect patient contact via fluids). Sensing: I-ECG via catheter tip and surface reference electrodes. Connectivity: standard luer lock connections. Software: GUI-based analysis of ECG signals. Energy: electrical (ECG signal acquisition).
Indications for Use
Indicated for navigation/positioning of CVADs (≥1Fr) in adults, adolescents, children, infants, and neonates. Compatible with PICCs, CICCs, implantable ports, hemodialysis catheters, and UVCs (neonates only). Contraindicated/limited in patients with cardiac rhythm alterations (atrial fibrillation, flutter, severe tachycardia, pacemaker rhythm) where P-wave presentation is changed; requires secondary confirmation method in these cases.

| Device Description Summary | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4) |
| The Neonav ECG Tip Location System (Neonav) is a non-invasive medical device that analyzes electrocardiographic signals (ECG) to track the location of central venous access devices (CVADs) in patients' blood vessels during placement and post placement in real time via a display.
Catheter position in the vasculature is analyzed based on the patient's intravascular ECG (I-ECG). An I-ECG is recorded via the catheter tip from within the blood vessels of a patient. For the conductive fluid method, the sterile Neonav ECG Adapter and Adapter Cable are used whereas for guidewire/stylet method, the sterile Neonav ECG clip cable is used. These components allow the electrical impulses detected at the catheter tip to be recorded by a non-sterile Acquisition Unit and analyzed by the Neonav Console to assist in determining the catheter tip position. The Neonav Console can be controlled via a touch screen interface or a Remote enclosed in a sterile cover. The Neonav Console displays real-time surface ECG and I-ECG signals, highlighted QRS complex, max measured P-wave, the patient's heart rate, and other device performance indicators. A surface electrode is placed on the subject to act as a reference electrode. A second surface electrode is placed on the subject for noise reduction.
Neonav components are designed to attach easily to standard catheter and IV therapy components via standard luer lock connections. The only patient contacting component of the Neonav is the ECG Adapter. It has indirect contact with the patient via fluids and is composed of biocompatible polycarbonate and stainless steel. | | |

catheters (CICCs), implantable ports, and hemodialysis catheters; in children (greater than 2 to 12 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and with CICCs; in infants (greater than 1 month to 2 years of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs and CICCs; and in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age), Neonav can be used with PICCs, CICCs, and umbilical venous catheters (UVCs). In each specific age group, the CVAD type and size must be chosen and the CVAD must be used according to the CVAD's indications and instructions for use.
Limiting but not contraindicated situations for use of the Neonav are in patients where alterations of cardiac rhythm change the presentation of the P wave as in atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, severe tachycardia, and pacemaker driven rhythm. In such patients, who are easily identifiable prior to central venous access device insertion, the use of an additional method is required to confirm catheter tip location.
## Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Neonav has equivalent indications for use with the predicate with the following adjustment:
a) addition of umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) to the list of lines Neonav can be used with in neonates (from birth to 1 month of age). The intended use of the subject device is equivalent to that of the predicate: "The intended use of Neonav is to support navigation and tip positioning of central venous access devices. Neonav can be used as an alternative method to fluoroscopy and chest X-ray for central venous access device tip placement confirmation". Umbilical venous catheters are a type of central venous access device used in the neonatal intensive care unit. Once inserted, UVCs terminate at a target location in the inferior vena cava (IVC) – this target location is already part of the predicate device K241910. Technological, software, and usability characteristics of the subject device and predicate device are equivalent. Therefore, the addition of UVCs to the neonatal group does not constitute a new intended use.
## Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The Neonav subject device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, which include device design, device connectivity and/or interfaces, materials, principles of operation, energy source, and software capabilities. The only difference is that the subject device offers the user an option to select the UVC line on screen during the procedure set-up (via the software graphical user interface, GUI). Thereafter, the subject device continues to be used in the same way as the predicate device.
## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
Retrospective sub analysis conducted on PICC and UVC design validation datasets obtained from observational clinical studies showed a success rate of > 90% for all the software parameters assessed.

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.
