Indications for Use
The Acist™ CMS-2000 Angiographic Injection System with Contrast Management is intended to be used for the controlled infusion of radiopaque contrast media for angiographic procedures.
Device Story
The ACIST CMS2000 is an electro-mechanical angiographic contrast injector used in cath labs by physicians. It consists of a console, pump head, and hand-held proportional remote control. The system utilizes a disposable kit with a two-port syringe and manifold, allowing contrast reservoir maintenance between cases. The pump head contains motors and sensing electronics to drive a syringe plunger for contrast and a peristaltic pump for saline. The user inputs injection parameters (volume, flow rate, pressure, rise time) via a touch-screen console. The hand controller provides variable, proportional flow rate control based on trigger pressure/travel. A pressure transducer monitors distal catheter tip pressure when not injecting. The system operates in user-interactive or fixed-rate modes. By enabling precise, real-time control of contrast delivery under fluoroscopic guidance, the device optimizes procedure quality, enhances patient safety, and reduces total contrast volume required.

#### Predicate Devices
Angiographic Injector System from Acist Medical Models CL100 #K963982 CL100H #K984058
#### Device Description
This device is a variation of the Acist Angiographic Injector System (CL100 & CL100H). The CMS2000 is designed to be used with the CMS disposable kits. The CMS2000 and the disposable kits allow the user to maintain a reservoir of contrast between cases.
### Reason for Modification
The CMS2000 is designed to accommodate the CMS disposable kit. The disposable kit allows the user to draw from a single reservoir of contrast for more than one case.

# Device Description of the Acist CMS 2000 Contrast Management System
The CMS 2000 system includes an electro-mechanical powered device consisting of a power supply, pump head (syringe pump), and control panel with a disposable hand-held proportional remote control device. Also included is a disposable device containing a two port syringe body, syringe plunger, spool valve manifold, high pressure tube, three-way stopcock, pressure transducer dome, tubing, saline tubing and spike.
Contrast media, saline, and catheters are not included.
The pump head houses the electrical controls and sensing electronics for the system. together with the motors which drive the piston which controls contrast flow, and the peristaltic pump which controls saline flow. The control (console/user interface) provides control and display through a touch sensitive LCD panel, which the user may enter, control settings and monitors the operational state of the system.
The power supply houses the transformer and other filtering and power conditioning electronics for the device. The power supply is a stand-alone unit, which connects to the pump head via a cable assembly. The power supply may be remotely mounted if required.
The control panel houses a LCD display, resistive element touch screen, conditioning electronics, standby switch and speaker. The user enters injection parameters from the control panel touch screen. It connects to the injector head via a multi-conductor cable.
The hand control is connected to the display console. The hand-held control includes mechanisms for variable, proportional flow rate control and mechanisms for initiation and termination of other functions, such as saline dispense. The flow rate control provides the user with a means that can be manipulated (squeezed, moved, pushed, etc.) by the user to provide a variable command signal to the control panel to provide a continuously variable injection rate. It is expected that different configurations of the hand controller may be provided to accommodate a broad range of users.
The mounting chamber projects from the injector head. The mounting chamber is a clear material supported by a metal structure, and includes a pivoting door, reservoir holder, back light and sensing electronics.
The cart assembly contains a mechanism to assure that only CMS disposable kits are used with the CMS 2000. The cart/mounting system is a unique set of components, which allow for the attachment of the system's subsystems to each other objects depending on the application. The mounting system allows the user to optimally position subsystem components in the cath lab with a minimal amount of effort. Various mounting systems, such as bed mount and boom mount, possibly combined with a cart mount are anticipated as future system enhancements.
{2}------------------------------------------------
When the catheter is in place in the patient, and an injection of radiographic contrast material is not taking place; the pressure transducer monitors the distal tip pressure of the catheter. The patient's blood pressure is measured through the column of fluid that extends from the catheter, tube, patient port, manifold, transducer/saline port, and tubing.
The peristaltic pump supplies saline solution from the bag to the saline port. When the peristaltic pump is operating to supply saline solution, the saline solution is supplied through the manifold to the patient port and then through the tube to the catheter.
The initial setup of the injector requires both Part A and Part B installed and primed. Setup screens lead the user through the installation process. For subsequent procedures, only the Part B requires replacement up to the recommended number of uses for Part A. Once the system is set up with all the disposable items installed, the door is closed, and the syringe body is filled with contrast material and purged of air. The user (typically a physician) enters the parameters that will apply to the injection of radiographic contrast material into the system. The system can be operated as a user interactive system or a fixed rate delivery system. For interactive use, parameters entered are the maximum amount of radiographic contrast material to be injected during any one injection, the maximum flow rate of the injection with the hand controller fully depressed, the maximum pressure developed vithin syringe body, and the maximum rise time or acceleration of the injection. To actuate an injection of contrast material, the user operates the remote control of the hand controller. Within the preset parameters, the system causes the flow rate of the injection to increase as the force or distance of travel of the trigger is increased.
Typically, the user will meter the amount and rate of contrast material injected based upon continuous observation of the contrast outflow into the structure being iniected usion fluoroscopy or other imaging methods. The system allows the user to tailor the contrast injections to the needs of the patient, thereby maximizing the quality of the procedure. increasing the safety, and reducing the amount of contrast material required to perforcun the examination. In the fixed rate mode, the injector will inject a fixed rate of contrast media.
The electrical control system includes multiple digital computers which receive input signals from remote control and control panel through interface, and provides signals to display operation data, alerts, status information and operator prompts.
The computer controls the motion of the plunger through a motor drive circuit that includes motor, motor amplifier, optical encoder, potentiometer, and A/D converter.
The motor amplifier provides a drive signal to motor in response to Control Voltage, Fwd/Rev, and Brake signals from the computer and a speed feedback signal from an ontingal encoder. The outputs of the optical encoder and potentiometer are supplied to the computer through A/D converter as Speed Monitor and Position Monitor signals. These oUlow the computer to check motor speed, motor direction, and position (volume is a calcwlated value).

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.
