DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional is a computer-based image-guidance accessory for use with commercially available Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging systems and interventional devices. The application provides the user with patient data processing, visualization and storage functions. It allows image analysis, display and recording of simulated images of a tracked insertion tool, such as a needle guide or sleeve, on a computer monitor or other display that shows images of the target organs and the current and/or projected path of the interventional instrument. The device is intended to be used by physicians in a clinical setting for treatment planning and guidance for clinical, interventional and/or diagnostic procedures of the prostate.
Device Story
DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional is medical device software installed on a standard computer workstation. It functions as an image-guidance accessory for prostate interventions. The software imports DICOM MR images from a network or removable media. It processes these images to visualize and record simulated paths of tracked interventional tools (e.g., needle guides, sleeves) relative to patient anatomy. The physician uses the software to plan the procedure and manually adjust the DynaTRIM positioning device. The software does not control the scanner or interventional hardware; clinicians must verify positioning via MR verification scans. The system assists in clinical workflow by providing visual guidance for needle placement, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes during prostate interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness supported by preclinical software verification and validation testing, including validation of the software with the DynaTRIM device in a simulated clinical use setting.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based image-guidance system; runs on Windows platform; imports DICOM MR images; displays fiducial-tracked instrumentation; kiosk-mode operation (no OS access); intended for use with DynaTRIM positioning hardware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for physicians performing treatment planning and guidance for clinical, interventional, or diagnostic prostate procedures using MR imaging systems and interventional devices.

### Device Description:
DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional (a.k.a. Dynal.OC/Prostate) is medical device software that is intended to be loaded onto a commercially available computer workstation. The DynaLOC/Prostate software application is designed for use with the DynaTRIM positioning device. The software receives DICOM images from a pre-procedure magnetic resonance (MR) study and performs calculations to assist the clinician with adjustments to the DynaTRIM positioning device. The software does not directly control the Dynall'RIM device, the interventional accessories or the MR scanner. The users must manually adjust the DynaTRIM device and confirm proper positioning of the interventional accessories via an MR verification scan. Additionally, the users must manually control the MRI scanner to obtain the correct MR data sets.
### Indications for Use (modified 2014-01-15):
DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional is a computer-based image-guidance accessory for use with commercially available Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging systems and interventional devices.
The application provides the user with patient data processing, visualization and storage functions. It allows image analysis, display and recording of simulated images of a tracked insertion tool, such as a needle guide or sleeve, on a computer monitor or other display that shows images of the target organs and the current and/or projected path of the interventional instrument.
The device is intended to be used by physicians in a clinical setting for treatment planning and guidance for clinical, interventional and/or diagnostic procedures of the prostate.
### Substantial Equivalence Discussion (modified 2014-01-15):
The DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional software (a.k.a. Dynal.OC/Prostate) is used to facilitate clinical workflow for magnetic resonance image (MRI)-assisted interventional procedures of the prostate. The Dynal.OC/Prostate software is used with the DynaTRIM positioning device and associated interventional accessories, which are supplied separately. The DynaLOC/Prostate software module is substantially equivalent to the DynaCAD V1.0 (K041286) system. The wording of the indications for use statement differs between the primary predicate and proposed device; however, the statements are equivalent with respect to use for MR-guided interventional planning with interventional hardware.
| | Predicate Device: | Reference Predicate |
|--------------------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| 510(k) Name | DynaCAD V1.0 .<br>(DynaLOC module) | PERCUNAV<br>(preoperative planning module) |
| 510(k) Number | K041286 | K121498 |
| FDA Clearance Date | July 21, 2004 | December 14, 2012 |
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Device Similarities
The DynaLOC/Prostate 510(k) subject device and predicates have similar technologies for planning of interventional procedures. Both include software written to run on a Windows platform; both function as a kiosk, not allowing the end-user to access any operating system functions or system configuration panels: both have the ability to import magnetic resonance DICOM images from various sources, such as a computer network or removable media; both display fiducial-tracked instrumentation in relation to the patient anatomy; both require instrument registration and verification images prior to the actual intervention.
#### Device Differences
The software code base for the Dynal.OC/Prostate software is equivalent to the Dynal.OC module for primary predicate device. DynaCAD V1.0 (K041286). Both devices are used with interventional positioning devices; however. the type of hardware used differs because of the target anatomy and approach. The predicate is used with interventional devices that allow a percutaneous approach (e.g. breast biopsies). The proposed device is used with the DynaTRIM device for planning prostate interventions.
### Reference Predicate (modified 2014-01-15):
The key difference between the 510(k) subject device and reference PERCUNAV predicate from an overall system perspective is that PERCUNAV predicate offers realtime navigation capabilities using ultrasound technology and fusion of images from multiple modalities (MR, CT, PET. SPECT etc.), whereas the DynaCAD system uses only one image modality, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Although the PERCUNAV system includes a pre-procedure planning module that is similar to the Dynal.OC/Prostate module of the DynaCAD system, it is in a different regulation number (21 CFR 892.1750) than the 510(k) subject device. As such, it is considered a reference predicate for the purpose of the substantial equivalency discussion.
Another key difference is the PERCUNAV predicate does not include the DynaTRIM positioning device and accessories; however. PERCUNAV does include other interventional equipment, such as probes and needle assemblics. Although the PERCUNAV predicate offers more features than the 510(k) subject device, the preprocedure planning module of the PERCUNAV predicate closely matches the features and workflow for the DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional system. The PERCUNAV preprocedure planning software may be used with MR images alone (without ultrasound) and interventional devices in much the same manner as the Dynal.OC/Prostate software module is used with the DynaTRIM device.
#### Indications for Use Differences (modified 2014-01-15):
The DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional indications statement is not identical to that of the DynaCAD V1.0 (K041286) predicate:
- The features that do not apply to the 510(k) subject device were removed; .
- The limitation of percutancous procedures was removed; and .
- Reference to the prostate organ was added. .

These changes do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Use of the DynaLOC/Prostate software with the DynaTRIM positioning device allows planning of standard prostate interventions (e.g. transrectal approach with biopsy guns).
#### Preclinical & Clinical Data
The safety and effectiveness of the DynaCAD/Interventional software (a.k.a. Dynal.OC/Prostate) for the proposed indications for use is supported by preclinical software verification and validation testing. This includes validation of the software with the DynaTRIM device is a simulated clinical use setting.
### Conclusion (modified 2014-01-15):
The DynaLOC/Prostate software application is similar to the Dynal.OC software for the predicate DynaCAD V1.0 (K041286) system. The wording of the indications for use statement differs between the primary predicate and proposed device; however, the statements are equivalent with respect to use for MR-guided interventional planning with interventional hardware. Since the proposed device is used with the Dyna'l RIM positioning device, reference to the prostate organ was added to the indications statement. Also, the predicate clearance includes statements related to the other modules of the DynaCAD software applications. Since these do not pertain to the Dynal.OC/Prostate module, they were not included in the proposed indications for use statement.
Since the DynaCAD VI.0 (K041286) clearance is limited to percutancous procedures (e.g. breast), the pre-procedure planning module of the PERCUNAV system (K121498) was selected as a reference predicate. The characteristics and workflow for the DynaLOC/Prostate software is similar to those of the preoperative planning module of the PERCUNAV predicate (K121498), which is not limited to percutaneous procedures.
The results of software verification and validation testing support that the Dynal.OC/Prostate software is safe and effective when used with the DynaTRIM device for prostate interventional procedures. Therefore, the DynaCAD/Prostate Interventional planning software (DynaLOC/Prostate) is substantially equivalent to the predicate DynaLOC software application cleared in K041286 (DynaCAD V1.0).

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.
