It provides oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal from venous or suctioned blood. The integrated heat exchanger provides blood temperature control and allows the use of hypothermia, or aids in the maintenance of normothermia during surgery. The venous reservoir is intended to collect blood aspirated from the operating field during surgical procedures and the blood from patient's veins (gravity or vacuum assisted) during normal operation to assure the proper oxygenation capability of the device. The D101 KIDS should not be used longer than 6 hours. Contact with blood for longer periods is not advised.
Device Story
D101 KIDS is a sterile, single-use infant cardiopulmonary bypass oxygenator with integrated heat exchanger and hardshell cardiotomy/venous reservoir. Device receives venous or suctioned blood from patient; performs gas exchange (oxygenation/CO2 removal) via microporous hollow fiber membrane; regulates blood temperature via integrated heat exchanger; collects/filters/defoams blood from surgical field and veins (gravity or vacuum-assisted). Used in OR by surgical team during cardiopulmonary bypass. Smaller dimensions and reduced priming volume compared to predicate reduce hemodilution and transfusion needs. Output is oxygenated, temperature-controlled blood returned to patient. Benefits include improved hemodynamics and reduced exposure of blood to large surface areas.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In vitro studies conducted per ISO 7199 and FDA guidance. Tested parameters included gas transfer, pressure drop, plasma leakage, heat exchanger performance, hemolysis/cell depletion, mechanical integrity, and reservoir characterization (defoaming, filtration, breakthrough times). Biocompatibility testing performed on D100 Ph.I.S.I.O. (aged) per ISO 10993-1:2003 (hemolysis, cytotoxicity, irritation, systemic toxicity, mutagenicity). Results met all specifications and demonstrated equivalence to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Hollow fiber membrane oxygenator with integrated heat exchanger and hardshell cardiotomy/venous reservoir. Materials identical to D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. (phosphorylcholine coating). Single-use, ethylene oxide sterilized. Features vacuum-assisted venous drainage capability. Reduced dimensions and priming volume compared to predicate. Heat exchanger geometry optimized for infant use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery requiring extracorporeal circulation with max blood flow rate of 2.5 L/min. Contraindicated for use longer than 6 hours.

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The D101 KIDS Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenator With Integrated Hardshell Cardiotomy/Venous Reservoir with phosphorylcholine coating (hereafter referred to as the D101 KIDS) is a high efficiency infant microporous hollow fiber membrane oxygenator integrated with an heat exchanger and connected to an hardshell cardiotomy/venous reservoir. The device is a modified version of the currently marketed D902 Lilliput 2 Ph.I.S.I.O (K001021) predicate device (hereafter referred to as the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O.). The modification is limited to an overall reduction in the size of the device, design change to the integrated heat exchanger and hardshell venous cardiotomy/venous reservoir, and consequent updating of product specifications in the inclusion of vacuum assisted venous drainage in the Intended use. The reduction in size enables the device to be better suited for the infant patient population.
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### INDICATION FOR USE:
The D101 KIDS Infant Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenator With Integrated Hardshell Cardiotomy/ Venous Reservoir, is a sterile, nonpyrogenic device intended for use in infants who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery requiring extracorporeal circulation with a maximum blood flow rate of 2.5 liters/minute. It provides oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal from venous or suctioned blood. The integrated heat exchanger provides blood temperature control and allows the use of hypothermia, or aids in the maintenance of normothermia during surgery. The venous reservoir is intended to collect blood aspirated from the operating field during surgical procedures and the blood from patient's veins (gravity or vacuum assisted) during normal operation to assure the proper oxygenation capability of the device. The D101 KIDS should not be used longer than 6 hours. Contact with blood for longer periods is not advised.
#### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The D101 KIDS is an infant cardiopulmonary bypass of hollow fiber design with heat exchanger and integrated hardshell cardiotomy/venous reservoir similar to the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device Both devices are identical with respect to materials, biocompatibility of the PmMl2 coating principles, technological characteristics and manufacturing process. The D101 KIDS oxygenating module shares the same basic design, operating principles and control mechanisms of the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. module, but is reduced in size. The only modification consists of a heat exchanger design revision with increased surface area with respect to the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. In addition, the D101 KIDS shares identical design philosophy and fundamental scientific technology with the D100 Ph.I.S.I.O. newborn oxygenator predicate device, consisting of a packed oxygenating module of reduced dimensions which accommodates a heat exchanger of the same optimized geometry. The hardshell cardiotomy/venous reservor present in both D101 KIDS and D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. share the same single chamber design, technological characteristics, operating principles and materials except for the revised filtering system design and overall reduced dimensions of the housing. In addition, the intended use of the device has been expanded to include the use of vacuum assisted venous drainage. These changes make the D101 KIDS reservoir consistent with technology implemented in existing oxygenators manufactured by Sorin Group Italia like the D100 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device. An overall reduction of its dimensions with consequent less hollow fiber material and reduced priming volume as well as some external features revision, characterize the D101 KIDS as compared to the D902 Ph.J.S.I.O.. These differences make the D101 KIDS more suited for infant patients like the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device. The D101 KIDS is substantially equivalent to the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device in intended use, patient population and performance specifications.
The coating of the oxygenating module is identical to the phosphorycholine coating used on the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device.
The oxygenator is ethylene oxide sterilized and has a nonpyrogenic fluid path. It is for single use only.
#### BIOCOMPATIBILITY TEST RESULTS:
A complete battery of tests were carried out in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10993-1:2003 and the FDA May 1, 1995 Memorandum on the use of the ISO 10993 standard for biocompatibility testing on the raw materials. Testing was performed on the D100 Ph.I.S.I.O. (accelerated aging). The aged device was tested for Hemolysis, Cytotoxicity, Irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity and Mutagenicity. Sterility, Pyrogenicity, ETO residuals and package integrity testing were also conducted. The results of this testing met established specifications. As no new materials are used in the D101 KIDS infant oxygenator with respect to the D100 Ph.I.S.I.O., data collected are considered applicable to the D101 KIDS oxygenator.
#### IN VITRO TEST RESULTS:
In vitro testing was carried out in accordance with the requirements of "Guidance for Cardiopulmonary Bypass Oxygenators 510(k) submissions - Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff" issued on November 13, 2000 - "Guidance for Blood Extracorporeal Blood Circuit Defoamer 510(k) Submission"
{2}------------------------------------------------
Final Guidance for industry and FDA issued on November 29, 2000 -- "Guidance for Cardiopulmonary Bypass Arterial Line Blood Filter 510(k) Submission" Final Guidance for industry and FDA issued on November 29, 2000 and when applicable, following the ISO 7199 (1996) standard for "Cardiovascular Implants and Artificial Organs - Extra Corporeal Blood-Gas Exchangers (Oxygenator)" for providing the data necessary to demonstrate both the substantial equivalence with the predicate devices and also complying with safety and effectiveness requirements. The device aged up to 3 (+1 year considered as worst case) years was tested for qas transfer characteristics, pressure drop, plasma leakage data, operating blood volumes, heat exchanger performance evaluation, hemolysis/cell depletion, mechanical integrity, venous cardiotomy reservoir characterization (including breakthrough times and volumes, reservoir graduated scale accuracy, residual blood volume, defoaming capacity, filtration efficiency and reservoir housing integrity) and leaching studies characterization. The results of these tests met established specifications. For comparison purposes, the same testing, when applicable, has been conducted also on the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device.
The results of the study showed that the device is comparable to the predicate devices concerning all characteristics.
# CONCLUSIONS:
The results of in vitro studies demonstrate that the D101 KIDS performs in a manner substantially equivalent or sometimes better than (e.g reduced operating blood volumes, breakthrough time and volume and improved heat exchanger efficiency) the D902 hollow fiber oxygenator with respect to the relevant functional parameters. This is in line with our expectations, as the D101 KIDS is smaller in overall size, has a more compact design, and contains a different heat exchanger freservoir filtering system design as compared to the D902 Ph.I.S.I.O. predicate device. Although these design differences affect the above performance parameters. they are intended to make the D100 Ph.J.S.I.O. more suitable for use on infant patients. The smaller size offers theoretical advantages in terms of reduced priming volume and consequently less hemodilution. A lower priming volume is desirable as it results in advantageous patient hemodynamics, reduced exposure of the blood cells and plasma proteins to large surface areas and reduced need for transfusion. which has the potential risk of donor transmitted disease. Furthermore, the D101 KIDS performs in a manner substantially equivalent to the D902 Ph.1.S.I.O with respect to biocompatibility, according to its intended use. Additional testing has also demonstrated the effectiveness of production techniques to insure that the oxygenator is sterile and non-pyrogenic

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.
