# Remark:
Based on the comparison and analysis above:
1. The subject devices (FDB08, FDB08A, FDB12) have the same intended use as the predicate device (K242387).
{8}
2. The subject devices share the same technological characteristics (power source, braking system, control mechanism) and same regulatory classification.
3. The key safety and performance parameters—Maximum Loading (FDB08 and FDB08A, and 150 kg for FDB12) and Maximum Speed (6 km/h)—are equal or similar to those of the predicate device.
4. Minor differences in technological characteristics (motor power, battery capacity, frame material, folding mechanism, device dimensions, wheel size, ground clearance, maximum distance, braking distance, safe operation incline, turning radius and obstacle-climbing ability) have been thoroughly evaluated through performance testing. These differences do not affect safety or effectiveness and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device.
### 7. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
To demonstrate substantial equivalence, the subject devices (FDB08, FDB08A, FDB12) 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
### 7.2. Biocompatibility Testing
This device is intended for contact with intact skin only. According to the recommendations of Attachment G of the FDA guidance, routine ISO 10993-1 biological testing (e.g., cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation) is not necessary for materials that have a documented history of safe use and are listed as synthetic polymers in Attachment G.
All patient-contacting components of this device are composed of such materials:
- Seat & Back Cushion / Armrest: Polyurethane (PUR) foam and/or artificial leather (Polyurethane coated fabric).
{9}
- Hand Grips / Joystick: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic and Silicone.
All of the above materials (Polyurethane, ABS, and Silicone) are explicitly listed in Attachment G. The evaluation has confirmed a history of safe use for these materials in medical and mobility devices for intact skin contact.
Therefore, pursuant to the findings of the ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation Report (JBH-BER-001), routine ISO 10993 testing for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation is considered exempt. No specific biocompatibility testing was required or performed for these materials. The device is considered biocompatible for its intended use.
### 7.3. Electrical Safety and EMC Testing
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.
This device does not incorporate wireless technology; therefore, the FDA RF Wireless Guidelines do not apply.
### 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.
### 7.5 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 FDB08, FDB08A, FDB12) share the same intended use as the legally marketed predicate device (K242387). In terms of technological characteristics, they share the same core design principles, safety mechanisms, and regulatory classification. Any differences (such as motor power, battery configuration, frame material, folding mechanism) have been fully justified through design controls and risk analysis, and verified via testing to not impact the overall safety and effectiveness of the devices. Therefore, the subject devices are deemed to be Substantially Equivalent to the selected 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.
