MiroCam® Capsule Endoscope System is intended for visualization of the small bowel mucosa. It may be used as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel in adults. The Suspected GI Bleeding Indicator (SGIB) is intended to mark frames of the video suspected of containing blood or red areas.
Device Story
MiroCam® is an ingestible capsule endoscope system for small bowel visualization. The capsule contains a CMOS imaging sensor and six white LEDs; it captures images at 3 frames per second for at least 11 hours. Data is transmitted via Human Body Communication (weak current through body tissue) to nine external ECG-style sensor pads worn on the patient's abdomen. Pads connect to a wearable receiver stored in a shoulder pouch. After the procedure, the receiver connects via USB to a workstation running MiroView™ software. Physicians review the captured video to identify GI abnormalities. The software includes a Suspected GI Bleeding Indicator (SGIB) to highlight frames with potential blood/red areas, variable playback speeds, and reporting tools. MiroView™ Express allows remote review on secondary PCs. The system aids gastroenterologists in diagnosing small bowel pathology, potentially benefiting patients by providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional endoscopy.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial (n=105 subjects, 89 evaluable). Primary endpoint: agreement between MiroCam® and predicate device in identifying sources of small bowel bleeding. Results showed an overall agreement of 74.16% (66 of 79). Bench testing included biocompatibility, electrical safety, mechanical structural integrity, pH resistance, field/depth of view, and battery life testing.

K111450 Page 2 of 5
The general usage workflow of the MiroCam® system is as follows, the MiroCam® capsule captures images of the GI tract, which are sent via Human Body Communication to sensor pads which are affixed to the patient body. The sensor pads are connected to the receiver by the data cables. The image data is stored on the receiver for the duration of the patient procedure. After removing the receiver set from the patient body, the receiver is connected via USB to the MiroView™ workstation and the image data is uploaded. Following upload, the physician (Gastroenterologist) reviews the patient image data for suspected abnormalities of the small bowel. The key system components are explained in detail below.
#### MiroCam® Capsule
Functionally, the MiroCam® captures imaging via a CMOS imaging sensor for at least 11 hours at the rate of 3 images per second. Six white LEDs flash in concert with the imaging sensor. A sensor PCB links the imaging sensor to the two gold electrodes of the capsule, from which a weak current is emitted containing the image data via Human Body Communication technology. The weak current is then passed through the bodily tissue and fluid to be picked up by the sensor pads. Human Body Communications is uni-directional from the capsule to the sensor pads.
Physically, the capsule is 24mm in length, and 10.8mm in diameter. The exterior of the capsule is composed of biocompatible materials, capable of withstanding potential bite forces and exposure to fluids in the GI tract.
#### MiroCam® Receiver
The image data from the capsule is saved to the MiroCam® Receiver via the sensor pads and data cables. The sensor pads are standard ECG type sensor pads (3M Red Dot), which are affixed to the patient's abdomen according to the location guide. The 9 sensor pads are attached to the 9 leads of the data cable is subsequently attached to the Receiver. The Receiver sits in a shoulder pouch, which is put on the patient for the duration of the procedure. A waist pouch is used to organize the data cables. The Receiver can store images for up to 12 hours. The three indicators on the Receiver are for battery status, initialization status of the receiver, and status of signal receipt from the capsule.
The dimensions of the receiver are 140mm in height, 85mm in width, and 40mm in length. The units weight 350grams with the battery, which is data cable. The battery is lithium ion,
MiroCam® Capsule Endoscope System, Traditional 510(k)
{2}------------------------------------------------
and is unique to the Receiver. The battery is rechargeable, and can be charged by placing in the battery charger provided with the Receiver. The receiver uses a storage flash for storing the images.
#### Workstation
Image data 'is uploaded to the MiroView™ workstation from the MiroCam® Receiver via a USB cable connection. The MiroView™ workstation is a PC with the MiroView™ software installed. The workstation also includes a printer and LCD monitor.
The MiroView™ software enables the following key operator tasks: receiver management and upload of image data; diagnostic review of images by the physician; creation of capsule endoscopy procedure patient reports; user administration; and export of image data and reports. Included in the diagnostic review interface is a number of features to optimize the efficiency of the diagnostic review, including variable viewing speed (1 to 40 frames per second), suspected GI bleeding indicator (SGIB), and Quick mode. Images of suspected disease pathology or transit points in the GI tract are readily captured for inclusion in the report.
Included with the MiroView™ workstation is a copy of MiroView™ Express. MiroView™ Express is a scaled down version of the MiroView™ software; only supporting the diagnostic review and reporting functionality detailed above. The receiver cannot be connected to the MiroView™ Express software. This software can be installed on remote PCs, notebooks or laptops to enable review of patient files at the convenience of the reviewer. Patient files are transferred from MiroView™ workstation to the MiroView™ Express via DVD or USB.

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.
