Indications for Use
The PureFill Oxygen Compressor is indicated to supply pressurized oxygen to fill gas cylinders for the patient's personal ambulatory use. The device is not intended to be life supporting or life sustaining.
Device Story
PureFill Oxygen Compressor accepts low-pressure (14-30 PSIG) oxygen from external oxygen concentrators; utilizes 2-stage positive displacement compression to pressurize oxygen to 2,000 PSIG; fills portable oxygen cylinders for patient ambulatory use. Operated by patients or caregivers in home or sub-acute care settings. Device includes over-pressurization safety mechanism (solid red fault LED and continuous audible alarm at >2,200 PSIG). Does not include internal oxygen concentration monitoring, relying instead on the connected oxygen concentrator's monitoring system. Benefits patients by enabling independent refilling of portable oxygen cylinders, facilitating mobility.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included electrical safety (ES60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2, EN55011 CISPR 22), altitude, fill rate, oxygen pressure surge, material selection/cleaning, autogenous ignition temperature, and acoustic noise/energy.
Technological Characteristics
2-stage positive displacement compressor; 110W average power consumption; 2,000 PSIG output; 55 dBA sound level. Compatible with oxygen concentrators providing 14-30 PSIG, 2 LPM minimum, and 93±3% oxygen. Materials evaluated for gas pathway/mucosa contact.

# Substantial Equivalence Rationale
The Drive Inovo PureFill Oxygen Compressor is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because:
Indications - The PureFill Oxygen Compressor is indicated to supply pressurized oxygen to fill gas cylinders for the patient's personal ambulatory use. The device is not intended to be life supporting or life sustaining.
This is identical to the predicate - Gas Transfill - K091191, which is intended to provide supplemental oxygen to patients and to supply pressurized oxygen to fill gas cylinders for the patient's personal ambulatory use. The device is not intended to be life supporting nor life sustaining.
This is identical to the predicate - Home Fill II - K003939, which is intended to function and use of the Invacare Model IOH 200 Complete Home Oxygen System is to provide supplemental oxygen to patients and to supply pressurized oxygen to fill gas cylinders for the patient's personal ambulatory use.
Technology - The PureFill Oxygen Compressor is a 2-Stage Positive Displacement compressor designed to accept low pressure (14-30 PSIG) oxygen from existing oxygen concentrators and pressurize the oxygen to 2,000 PSIG. The high pressure oxygen is used to fill portable oxygen cylinders which are for patients' personal ambulatory use only.
{7}------------------------------------------------
# 510(k) Summary Page 5 of 5 8-Oct-14
Environment of Use - The PureFill Oxygen Compressor is designed to be used in sub-acute care facilities and home setting. This is identical to the predicates.
Patient Population - Population is defined not by age but by patients on supplemental oxygen. This is identical to predicate - Home Fill II - K003939 and Gas Transfill - K091191.
Performance Specifications - The PureFill has similar specifications to the predicate for pressurization, fill rate and time, ability to connect to several different concentrators with minimum output requirements. The performance specifications are substantially equivalent to the predicates -Home Fill II - K003939 and Gas Transfill - K091191.
# Non-clinical Testing
We performed a number of non-clinical tests to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the PureFill. These tests included:
Materials - The materials utilized are common materials. G95-1 and ISO 10993-1 would categorize the PureFill Oxygen Compressor as:
- External communicating (indirect / gas pathway)
- Mucosa contact
- Permanent duration (> 30 days) .
However, mechanical, pressure generating devices often have materials which cannot be tested by the above listed tests. We performed the following tests:
- VOC
- . PM25
- Ozone, CO, and CO2 ●
Performance Testing - We performed equivalent bench testing, including ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 61000-6-3, EN55011 CISPR 22, Altitude, Fill rate, Oxygen Pressure Surge Testing, Material Selection and Cleaning of Components, Autogenous Ignition Temperature Test, Acoustic Noise, Audible Acoustic Energy. The PureFill Oxygen Compressor performed as intended in each test. These tests were equivalent to the testing required of the predicates.
# Substantial Equivalence Conclusion -
The sponsor has demonstrated through performance testing, design and features, and non-clinical testing that the proposed device and predicate have been found to be substantially equivalent.
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.
