Device Story
FD2050 is a handheld, battery-powered Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) used for pain relief. It generates electrical pulses transmitted via skin-attached electrodes to peripheral nerves to block pain signals. The device features two output channels, five preset programs, and 20-step intensity adjustment. A microcontroller (MCU) manages user inputs from a keypad, displays status on an LCD, and controls a boost converter to build charge, which is released through a transistor bridge circuit. Safeguards include a watchdog timer for software deadlock, open-circuit detection to prevent shock, and low-battery monitoring. The device is intended for use by patients for chronic or acute pain management. Healthcare providers or patients use the device to deliver stimulation, with output parameters (pulse width, timing, polarity) manipulated by the controller to achieve therapeutic effects.
Indicated for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain and as adjunctive treatment for post-surgical or post-traumatic acute pain in patients requiring TENS therapy.

#### 4 Device Description
# General
The FD2050 is a handheld battery powered TENS device. which is used for pain relief. The device would generate electrical pulses and transmit it to the electrodes, which are attached to the patient's skin. Consequently, the electrical pulses would then pass through the skin to the underlying peripheral nerves to aid in the blocking of pain signals traveling to the brain.
FD2050 has two output channels and five preset programs. The program mode is displayed on a LCD. The user can adjust the output intensity by 20 steps.
### Software
The software is built up with different software modules. The software modules are interconnected. One software module can be activated by another software module. The hardware is the physical interface to the user. The hardware passes or receives signal to or from the controller..
# Operation (refer the Functional Block)
The microcontroller (MCU) takes request from the key pad (H2). It determines the logic and the parameter setting. It displays the information to the LCD (H1). The output intensity is directly related to the output voltage. The device makes use of a boost converter (H4) such that the controller sends different numbers of pulses to the boost converter build up desired amount of charges. The charges are released through a transistor bridge circuit (H5). The controller manipulates the pulse width, timing and polarity of the pulses in different program modes.
{1}------------------------------------------------
When battery gets dry, there is signal from voltage detection chip (H3) and the controller reflects the status on the screen by turning on an icon.
The open circuit detect circuitry (H6) can sense if electrode is detached. The controller reflects the status on the screen and turn down the output intensity.
# Device Safeguards
Software Malfunction – watch dog timer is used to safeguard the malfunction or dead lock of software. The watch dog timer counts down to zero in 546ms. The software in the main loop resets and restarts the timer. If the microcontroller experiences deadlock in subroutine and cannot return to the main loop within 546ms, the device will be turned off and intensity level will be down to zero.
Shock Protection - the circuitry has the open circuit detection to prevent user from getting shock. It recognizes 500 to 20k ohm as the present of load and above 200k ohm to be open load. If the electrodes are physical detached from the device, the device will turn down the level to zero.
Battery Low - a voltage detection chip is used to monitor the voltage level. If the voltage drops below a threshold, it signals the microcontroller to alert the patient by displaying an icon.
#### 5 Intended Use:
FD2050 is intended to use as
- Symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain .
- Adjunctive treatment for the management of post-traumatic or post-surgical . pain.
#### Comparison to Predicate Device: 6
## Similarity
## Engineering
FD2050 is developed on the same platform as Smart TENS.
On hardware, the schematic and the use of electronics components are the same. The software is cloned from Smart TENS so the basic mechanism, like the basic timing, key scanning and generation of pulse are the same.
## Intended Use
FD2050 is intended to be a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator, same as Smart TENS.
# Biocompatibility
The polymer ABS of the biocompatibility test article is identical to the ABS of the final device in formulation, processing , and cleaning, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.).
## Difference
Since the shape of FD2050 is different from Smart TENS, the PC boards are different between two devices. The software basically the same while the parameters for treatment programs are changed so they have different treatment programs.

# * Sample Calculation
Image /page/4/Figure/3 description: This image contains a graph and several equations related to electrical charge and current density. The graph shows voltage over time, with labels such as V1, V2, t1, and t2. Several equations are presented, including formulas for V(t), τ, and Q, along with calculations for Q+ and Q- which are 17.44 μC and 5.51 μC, respectively. The image also includes calculations for MaxCharge, NetCharge, and CurrentDensity, with the final current density calculated as 0.22mA/cm².
$$I_{rms}^2 = \frac{1}{T} \int_{t_i}^{t_f} \left(\frac{\mathbf{V}_1}{R_L} \mathbf{e}^{-\left(\mathbf{t} - \mathbf{t}_i\right)/\tau}\right)^2 dt = \frac{\tau}{2T} \left(\frac{\mathbf{V}_1}{R_L}\right)^2 \left(\mathbf{l} \cdot \mathbf{e}^{-\epsilon_s/\tau}\right)$$
$$I_{rms}^{2} = \frac{208\mu s}{2(1/150Hz)} \left(\frac{60V}{500\Omega}\right)^{2} (1 - e^{-250\mu s / 208\mu s}) = 0.157 lmA^{2}$$
$$+ve Pulse I_{rms}^{2} = 0.1571mA^{2}$$
$$-ve Pulse I_{rms}^{2} = 0.0132mA^{2}$$
$$I_{rms} = \sqrt{0.1571mA^{2} + 0.0132mA^{2}} = 13.1mA$$
$$MaxPowerDensity = \frac{Effective Power}{Area of Electrode} = \frac{\sum (I_{rms}^{2} \cdot R_{L})}{A}$$
$$= \frac{(0.1571 + 0.0132)mA^{2} \cdot 500\Omega}{4cm \cdot 4cm} = 5.3 mW/cm^{2}$$

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.
