#### Summary of Safety and Effectiveness of the Beeline System 5.
- This submission is intended to notify the Food and Drug Administration that 5.1 McKinley Medical, LLLP intends to market a modification to an existing device (K990461) called the Beeline system. Modifications to the existing device are extension of the flow rate range, addition of a larger reservoir volume, and addition of procedure kits.
- The original cleared device demonstrating substantial equivalence is the 5.2 McKinley Spring Pump Disposable Infusion Pump (K990461).
{1}------------------------------------------------
- A supporting predicate device also demonstrating substantial equivalence is 5.3 McKinley's Accufuser, Accufuser Plus & standard procedure kit (K023098).
- 5.4 The cleared indications for use for the Beeline system are as follows:
The Beeline system is indicated for intravenous, intra-arterial, enteral, subcutaneous and epidural infusion of medications or fluids requiring continuous delivery at controlled infusion rates.
The Beeline system is also intended to provide continuous infusion of a local anesthetic directly into the intraoperative site for postoperative pain management.
- Summary Description of the Beeline system 5.5
- 5.5.1 The Beeline device consists of a spring-pressurized, syringe-like medication reservoir with a flowrate-controlling administration set. Medication is held between the barrel and piston of the infuser. A spring applies force against the piston, pressurizing the medication. The administration set includes a flow restrictor component with controlled internal diameter and length. The flow rate at which medication is dispensed from the system is a function of the pressure applied to the medication and the dimensions of the flow restrictor component.
- 5.5.2 The size of the reservoir and the amount of flow restriction are varied during manufacturing to yield a variety of product codes with differing infusion volumes and flowrates.
- A procedure kit provides various components that facilitate setup 5.5.3 and use of the Beeline system. Examples of kit components include items such as a prep tray, sterile drape, transfer syringe, medication/chart labels, catheter & introducer, dressing, tape, gauze, prep pads/wipes, carrying case, etc. Multiple kit product codes are made, with the contents varied as applicable for the particular procedure.
- 5.5.4 The Beeline system is intended for single patient use.
- 5.5.5 Device Specifications
- The Beeline system has fill volumes and flow rates a. substantially equivalent to the named predicate devices.
- . The nominal fill volume of the system is 100 mL (small infuser) or 275 mL (large infuser).
- The nominal flow rate ranges from 0.4 to 10 mL/hr. ●
- Flow rate accuracy is ±15% of nominal flow rate, for all . product codes.
- . Residual volume is 5 mL or less.
- b. Operating pressure averages approximately 6 psi.
- As with the identified predicate devices, fluid viscosity, c. temperature, and head height affect flow rate.
{2}------------------------------------------------
- The device is calibrated to deliver at the nominal flow rate . using D5W (5% dextrose in water) as the infusate. Changing from D5W to sterile water increases flow rate by approximately 10%.
- . The device is calibrated to deliver at the nominal flow rate at skin temperature (86 °F). Flow rate changes by approximately 1% per °F.
- The device is calibrated to deliver at the nominal flow rate . with the medication reservoir 18" below the infusion site. Raising the infuser will increase the flow rate by less than 1% per inch.
- d. The fluid path materials are chosen from those commonly used in infusion devices.
- . Examples of the types of material used include polypropylene; polyethylene; PVC; acrylic; polycarbonate; ABS; silicone, butyl, nitrile, or other latex-free rubber; polyimide; nylon; PTFE; cellulose acetate; glass; stainless steel. The actual materials used vary slightly, depending on the product code (e.g., different procedure kit components may use different materials).
- . The Beeline system and the identified predicate devices control the flow rate with a length of micro-bore tubing made from glass, PVC, polyethylene or similar appropriate material.
- . All fluid path materials of the Beeline system are in conformance with ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility standards.
- e. There are currently no approved performance standards established for spring pumps under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
- f. Packaging is suitable for both EtO and gamma radiation sterilization.
- . For product codes sterilized with EtO, the EtO cycle is validated per ISO 11135 and residuals are validated per ISO 10993-7.
- For product codes sterilized with gamma radiation, the . sterilization dose is validated per ISO 11137.
- 5.5.6
- Device Safety Functions
- The Beeline system provides a fixed flow determined by the a. applied force from the compressed spring and the flow restriction induced by the dimensions of the flow restrictor. The Beeline system is not subject to infusion runaway conditions as may occur with some electronic pumps.
{3}------------------------------------------------
- b. The administration set includes a clamp, allowing the user to stop flow if necessary.
- The administration set has a 1.2-micron or smaller airc. eliminating filter.
- d. The fluid path is clear or translucent, allowing visual inspection of the contents.
- e. The medication reservoir has syringe-like graduation marks to provide an approximate indication of remaining volume, allowing the user to monitor the infusion progress.
- Conclusion: The modified Beeline system does not raise any new safety and 5.6 efficacy concerns when compared to the original device that is already legally marketed. The Beeline system is substantially equivalent to the named predicate devices.

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.
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.
