Trade name: Sphincter of Oddi Manometric (SOM) System Common name: SOM pump and catheter Classification name: Gastrointestinal motility system
This 510(k) Summary is for the Sphincter of Oddi Manometric (SOM) System. Indications for Use: When used in conjunction with a computerized motility system for motility studies, this Sphincter of Oddi Manometric System is used to measure the contraction rates of the Sphincter of Oddi within the gastrointestinal system; for research or diagnostic purposes within a clinical setting. The purpose of conducting these diagnostic motility studies is to determine if a patient's pain is caused by Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, where the contractions of the Sphincter of Oddi are abnormally high and/or erratic. This dysfunction is most commonly found in patients who have already undergone the removal of their gall bladder. Once diagnosed, the main course of treatment is either medication or sphincterotomy.
This system consists of a water-perfused SOM pump, an air compressor unit, and a Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter. The air compressor unit consists of a compressor motor, a pressure switch, a pressure gauge, and a drying cylinder. When turned on, the motor will compress air into the drying cylinder, which will remove the water by-product from the compression. The pressure switch will turn the motor off at 30psi (as displayed on the pressure gauge), and will restart it when the pressure drops to 10psi. An air hose connects the air compressor unit to the SOM pump to deliver the pressurized air to the SOM pump. The pressurized air will flow through a high pressure gauge (to display the pressure of the supplied compressed air), to a regulator (which will regulate the pressurized air down to 5psi), then a low pressure gauge (to display the pressure of the regulated air), to a water reservoir filled with sterilized irrigation water. The regulated air will push the water reservoir at a constant

rate through resistors that will further reduce the water flow rate to 0.18mL/min before it travels through a pressure transducer to the Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter. The proximal end of the Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter has a female luer that connects to the top of the pressure transducer on the SOM pump. The water will flow through the entire length of the Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter to the distal end where a silicone sleeve sensor is located. The Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter is then inserted through the biopsy channel of an endoscope, and then the sleeve sensor is positioned along the Sphincter of Oddi. With the regulated pressurized water flowing through the sleeve sensor at a constant rate, when the sphincter contracts, it will constrict the flow of water through the sleeve sensor, and the pressure change will be transmitted back through the water flow to the pressure transducer on the SOM pump, where the signal will be displayed onto the computer.
We are claiming this system to be substantially equivalent to the following predicates:
- -Mui Scientific's pressurized infusion pump
- Mui Scientific's (formerly Dentsleeve Pty) manometric perfusion pump and । manometric assemblies
- -Arndorfer Inc's pneumo-hydraulic capillary infusion system and ERCP manometric catheters
- -Cook Medical's Lehman Sphincter of Oddi Manometric catheter
The SOM pump and air compressor unit is similar to its predicates in that it is driven by a motor to compress the air that gets regulated before it pushes water from a water reservoir through resistors that further reduce the flow rate before passing through the SOM catheter. The Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter is similar to its predicates in that it is long in length and small in diameter, for passing through the biopsy channel of an endoscope, and into the Sohingter of Oddi. The proximal end consists of a female luer, a standard fitting that is compatible with all the predicate water-perfused motility pumps. The number of channels/resistors through which the water is pushed through may vary, and the regulated pressure and flow rates may differ due to the organ being measured, but the concept of pressure transmission along the water medium as a result of a muscle contraction is still the same.
Bench tests were conducted with the Sphincter of Oddi Manometric System, comparing performance data with that of its predicates. With the systems on and perfusing, a specific external force was applied to the distal ends of the SOM catheters to mimic a sphincter contraction. The pressure exerted was shown to equal the pressure measured and transmitted by the SOM catheters. Bench tests were also conducted combining and interchanging the Sphincter of Oddi Manometric System with its predicates, demonstrating that they are compatible and interchangeable.
We intend to market the SOM pump and the Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter as a system. However, other Sphincter of Oddi catheters have been proven to function equally well on the Mui Scientific SOM pump. Likewise, test results have shown that the Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter is able to perform satisfactorily on other water-perfused motility pumps. Therefore. we will also be intending to market the SOM pump and Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter separately, for those doctors wanting to acquire a new SOM pump but continue to use the predicate SOM catheters, and/or for those who already have an existing SOM pump but would like to start using the new Toouli SOM Sleeve catheter.

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.
