Based on the comparison and analysis above:
1. The subject devices (FNS01 and FNS03) have the same intended use as the predicate device (K252349).
2. The subject devices share the same fundamental technological characteristics as the predicate (power source, braking system, control mechanism, and folding design) and the same regulatory classification.
3. The key safety and performance parameters — maximum load (120 kg) and maximum speed (6 km/h) — are identical to the predicate.
4. The differences in technological characteristics (number of wheels, device dimensions and folded size, ground clearance, front/rear wheel size and type, maximum travel distance, minimum braking distance, maximum safe operation incline, minimum turning radius, maximum obstacle climbing, motor power, and battery configuration) are minor design variations that do not affect safety or effectiveness. In addition, FNS01 integrates a Bluetooth BLE 5.0 remote-control function (via a dedicated Bluetooth key) that the predicate does not have; this function has been verified through dedicated remote-control testing and a complete cybersecurity assessment and does not introduce any new safety or effectiveness concern.

## 7. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
To demonstrate substantial equivalence, the subject devices (FNS01 and FNS03) were tested in accordance with recognized consensus standards and FDA guidance. The testing included:
### 7.1 Performance Testing
The devices were tested according to the ISO 7176 series standards and EN 12184:2022. Test results demonstrated that the subject devices perform as intended and are substantially equivalent to the predicate device regarding:
- Static and Dynamic Stability (Scooter tipping angle, Safe Gradient)
- Brake Performance
- Maximum Speed (6 km/h) and Theoretical Distance Range
- Dimensions and Weight
- Obstacle-climbing Ability
- Static, Impact, and Fatigue Strengths
- Climatic Tests
- Power and Control Systems
- Flammability / Resistance to Ignition (ISO 16840-10:2021/Amd.1:2024)
### 7.2 Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluation for the subject device was conducted in accordance with Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". As dictated by the nature of body contact (intact skin) and contact duration (More than 30 days), the following endpoints were evaluated for the components that come into direct contact with the user (e.g., grips):
1) ISO 10993-5 Third edition 2009-06-01 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
2) ISO 10993-10 Fourth edition 2021-11 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for skin sensitization
3) ISO 10993-23 First edition 2021-01 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 23: Tests for irritation
The results of these test demonstrated that the patient-contacting components of the subject device are non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating.
### 7.3 Electrical Safety and EMC
The devices comply with applicable electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. EMC testing (IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 4.1 2020-09; IEC TS 60601-4-2 Edition 1.0 2024-03) demonstrates compliance with emission and immunity requirements, confirming the device does not interfere with other medical equipment and operates safely in its intended environment.
### 7.4 Software Verification and Validation Testing
In compliance with the requirements specified in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance document for industry and FDA staff—Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions—Software System testing results provided in this 510(k) demonstrate that all software requirement specifications have been met, and all software-related hazards have been mitigated to acceptable risk levels. The software verification and validation documentation includes dedicated remote-control (Bluetooth key) testing for the FNS01 model, covering power on/off, fold/unfold, pairing, AES encryption, fault injection, and misoperation prevention.
{8}
## 7.5 Cybersecurity
The FNS01 model incorporates a Bluetooth BLE 5.0 interface (dedicated Bluetooth key remote controller). In accordance with Section 524B of the FD&C Act and the FDA guidance "Cybersecurity in Medical Devices", a complete cybersecurity documentation set was provided, including a threat model (STRIDE), a cybersecurity risk assessment (CVSS 4.0 + NIST SP 800-30 R3), a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), architecture views, cybersecurity controls, cybersecurity testing, cybersecurity labeling, and a cybersecurity management plan. Third-party penetration testing identified 11 low-severity findings, all assessed as acceptable. The device is a standalone, offline device with no internet connectivity; its attack surface is limited to the Bluetooth pairing interface and the physical offline firmware update interface.
## 7.6 Summary of Clinical Performance
Clinical testing was not needed for this 510(k). The non-clinical performance testing described above is sufficient to support that the device can be used safely and effectively.
## 8. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The subject devices (Electric Scooter, Models FNS01 and FNS03) have the same intended use as the legally marketed predicate device (K252349, Mojo-T330). The subject devices and the predicate share the same core design principle, safety mechanisms, and regulatory classification. All differences — including wheel configuration, device and folded dimensions, ground clearance, wheel size and type, travel distance, braking distance, operation incline, turning radius, obstacle-climbing capability, motor power, and battery configuration, as well as the Bluetooth BLE 5.0 remote-control function present in FNS01 but absent from the predicate — have been adequately addressed through design control, risk analysis, performance testing (per ISO 7176 series and EN 12184), and, for the wireless function, dedicated remote-control testing and a complete cybersecurity assessment. These differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device. Accordingly, the subject devices are Substantially Equivalent to the predicate 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 as a Medical Device, 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 as a Medical Device), 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.
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.
