### 7. Intended Use
The Pro X OTC 5 is an Over-The-Counter device intended for use in the treatment of facial wrinkles. It is for people with wrinkles on their face and who have Fitzpatrick skin types I, II and/or III.
# 8. Non-Clinical Testing
The Pro X OTC 5 device conforms to the requirements of IEC 60601-1 3rd edition, IEC 60601-1-2. and IEC 62471.
Additionally, the Pro X OTC 5 Device was evaluated by the typical layperson in two separate studies: 1) Usability Study and 2) Self-Selection Study. The Usability Study was developed and conducted with 20 participants randomly selected from the general public representative of the population to which the Pro X OTC 5 Device is intended to be marketed to. This study evaluated the labeling aspects of the device to determine the understanding of the naïve layperson that are representative of the adult population for which the device is marketed.
The overall results of the Usability Study demonstrated that the participants in this study successfully completed the evaluation of the three major aspects of the study design: 1) outer packing and box label, 2) Instructions for Use (manual included inside the packaging), and 3) use of the device by laypersons.
The objective of the Self-Selection study was to evaluate the external packaging (box labeling) of the Pro X OTC 5 device by the naïve layperson to determine if there is sufficient information visible for them to decide (self-select) whether or not to use the device. A total of 20 participants, ranging in from 18 years and older, were randomly asked to review the external package labeling of the Pro X OTC 5 and complete a questionnaire at the end of their review. The results of this study demonstrated that the external packaging is in a language that is fully understood by a randomly selected group of naïve laypersons that are representative of the adult population for which the device is marketed.
# 9. Clinical Testing
An 8-week clinical study was conducted with 50 subjects with Fitzpatrick Skin tvpes I - III. 30 of which were randomly assigned into the Treatment Group and used the Pro X OTC 5, and 20 of which were randomly assigned into the Control Group and used a placebo mask. All subjects underwent an eight (8) week treatment regime followed by a 3-month post treatment (20-weeks) evaluation. The subjects used the device for 60 times during the 8 weeks period.
Standardized facial photographs were made at baseline and each subsequent evaluation period. The device was used by the subjects for 8 weeks and the last assessment photos were taken 3 months after the last treatment. The photographs were evaluated by two independent, blinded, licensed physicians using the 9-point Fitzpatrick Wrinkle and Elastosis Scale. The statistical analysis of the outcome measure of wrinkles demonstrated that the Pro X OTC 5 Device is effective in the treatment of facial wrinkles.
The Treatment Group demonstrated absolute improvement in the Fitzpatrick scores for both physicians at all evaluation periods. For Physician 1 the mean baseline grade was 5.10, and after 8-weeks the
{6}------------------------------------------------
grade was 3.86, a difference of 1.24 points. At the 20-weeks post treatment evaluation, further reduction was realized with a grade of 3.83, a difference of 1.28-points from baseline. For Physician 2 the mean baseline grade was 5.03. and after 8-weeks the grade was 3.83. a difference of 1.21 points. At the 20-weeks post treatment evaluation, further reduction was realized with a grade of 3.90, a difference of 1.14-points from baseline. Each subject demonstrated at least 1 point improvement individually based on the comparison between baseline and 20-weeks post treatment follow up pictures.
The Treatment Group showed statistically significant improvement in Fitzpatrick score at all evaluation periods, whereas, the Control Group did not show statistically significant improvement in the Fitzpatrick Score at any evaluation period.
The Treatment Group statistically outperformed the Control Group at all evaluation periods: 8-weeks and 20-weeks evaluation for both physicians, p<0.001.
# 10. Conclusion
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Or the device may have the same intended use and different technological characteristics if they can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regards its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
We have shown in this 510(k) submission that the Pro X OTC 5 has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices and does not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The Pro X OTC 5 device, as designed and manufactured, has been found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
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.
