### Device Description:
The Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is a microprocessor controlled device that consists of the following two main components: (1) an irrigation pump unit and (2) and fluid monitoring unit that are to be placed on a cart. The irrigation pump unit is a single roller pump that functions according to the peristaltic system and includes a manmachine interface (MMI) and a touch-screen display. The Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is to be used with specially designed single use irrigation and outflow tube sets that are supplied sterile. The fluid monitoring unit of the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is a microprocessor controlled device, which monitors the amount of delivered irrigation solution and compares it with the volume of the secretions returned to the container. The monitoring enables the surgeon to observe the quantity of fluids left in the patient. The irrigation pump unit of the proposed device indicates any fluid deficit that exceeds the fluid deficit level pre-set by the surgeon. The Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 determines both the inflow and outflow volume by means of two separate scales.
### Intended Use:
The Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is intended to provide liquid distension of the uterus during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, and to monitor the volume differential between the irrigation fluid flowing into and out of the uterus.
### Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological Characteristics:
The proposed device Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is a modified version of the Aquilex Fluid Control System H112, K112642, (the "Aquilex System"). The Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and the Aquilex System use the same basic operating principles and incorporate the same basic design including materials. Specifically, the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and the Aquilex System incorporate the following main components: (i) an irrigation pump unit, (ii) a fluid monitoring unit, and (iii) an inflow and an outflow tube set.
The irrigation pump units of both the proposed device Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and Aquilex System are all electro-mechanical and microprocessor controlled devices that function according to the peristaltic principle. Both the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and the Aquilex System utilize a pressure sensor to monitor the intrauterine pressure. To achieve the desired pressure within the cavity, the pressure sensor of both the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and the Aquilex System are connected to a processor that controls the speed of the roller wheel and thus the volume of fluid that is delivered into the cavity. The maximum selectable pressure of the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is identical to that of the Aquilex System (150 mmHg). Furthermore, both the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and the predicate devices are
{2}------------------------------------------------
K123732
pg. 3 of 4
designed with the same or similar setting keys, display elements and safety features (e.g. active pressure reduction, overpressure warnings and fluid deficit warnings). The fluid monitoring unit of both the proposed device Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and Aquilex System are micro-processor controlled devices, which monitor the amount of delivered irrigation solution and compare it with the volume of the secretions returned to the container. The fluid monitoring unit consists of the following main components: (1) scale, (2) a support plate, (3), a bag holder, (4) a container holder, and (5) a roller base. Finally, the inflow tube set and outflow tube set of the proposed device Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is identical in design, material, packaging and sterilization to the inflow and outflow tube set of the Aquilex System except for a minor change to the length of the tubing that is attached to the Yconnector of the inflow tube set and the equipment of the outflow tube set with an additional clamp. Also, the outflow tube set of the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is not designed with suction connectors.
The modification to the predicate device Aquilex System consists of a change in software and design. The main differences are related to the inclusion of a manmachine interface (MMI) including a 7" touch-screen and to the incorporation of a separate scale for determination of the inflow volume. Also, unlike the Aquilex System, the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is not equipped with vacuum pumps and therefore, not capable of applying suction. Other minor differences include the location of the roller wheel at the front of the device, a reduction of the maximum flow rate, the ability to choose a flow rate, the ability to use the irrigation pump unit without fluid monitoring unit and the optional performance of the instrument detection feature.
### Substantial Equivalence:
The Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 is substantially equivalent to the Aquilex System (K112642) and to the Hysteroscopy Pump HM4 (K022449). The proposed device has the same intended use as the predicate devices. In addition, both the proposed device and the predicate devices incorporate the same fundamental scientific technology. Specifically, both the predicate device and the predicate devices use the same basic operating principles and incorporate the same basic design.
The differences between the Hysteroscopy Pump HM6 and the predicate device Aquilex System are minor and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Specifically, the implementation of an interactive man-machine interface (MMI) including a 7" touch screen display into the proposed device as well as the modification that are related the above changes (e.g. incorporation of a faster processor, larger casing of the irrigation pump unit, optional display of the set flow rate and graphical display fluid deficit in % of the set pressure limit) improve the ease of use of the proposed device and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. In addition, the incorporations of a separate scale to determine the

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.
