Indications for Use
The CorPath 200 System is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters during percutaneous vascular interventional (PVI) procedures.
Device Story
CorPath 200 System enables remote robotic-assisted delivery/manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters during PVI procedures. System comprises bedside unit (articulated arm, robotic drive, single-use cassette) and remote workspace (interventional cockpit with control console, radiation shield, and angiographic monitors). Physician operates joysticks/touch screen at remote console to send commands via communication cable to robotic drive, which advances, retracts, or rotates guidewires and catheters. System allows physician to remain seated away from radiation source during procedure. Software monitors communication between console and drive, alerting physician to errors. Benefits include reduced operator radiation exposure and precise computer-controlled vascular navigation.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes the PRECISE study (n=164, PCI) and the RAPID study (n=20, PVI). RAPID was a prospective, non-randomized feasibility study of Rutherford Class 2-5 subjects. Primary endpoints: device success (cannulation) and safety (absence of SAEs). Results: 100% device technical success, 100% clinical procedural success (<50% residual stenosis), 0% device malfunctions, 0% angiographic complications. 15% (3/20) experienced puncture site hematoma. PRECISE study showed 97.6% clinical procedural success and 98.8% device technical success.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of bedside unit (articulated arm, robotic drive, single-use cassette) and remote workspace (interventional cockpit, control console). Uses computer-controlled electromechanical actuation for guidewire/catheter manipulation. Connectivity via communication cable between console and robotic drive. Software performs continuous monitoring of communication link. No specific material standards or software architecture class provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring percutaneous vascular interventional (PVI) procedures, including those with critical limb ischemia or lifestyle-limiting claudication requiring percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).

### Device Description
The CorPath 200 System is intended for use by physicians in the delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters during percutaneous vascular interventional (PVI) procedures. The CorPath 200 System allows the physician to deliver and manipulate guidewires and catheters through the vasculature under angiography-assisted visual guidance using computer controlled movements while in a seated position and away from the radiation source.
### Indication for Use
{5}------------------------------------------------
The CorPath 200 System is intended for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters during percutaneous vascular interventional (PVI) procedures.
## Technological Characteristics
The CorPath 200 System is composed of two functional sub-units; the Bedside Unit and the Remote Workspace. The Bedside Unit consists of the Articulated Arm, the Robotic Drive and the single-use Cassette. The Remote Workspace consists of the Interventional Cockpit (radiation shield) which houses the Control Console, as well as angiographic monitor(s). Commercially available guidewires and rapid exchange catheters are loaded into the single-use Cassette. By using the joysticks or touch screen of the Control Console, the physician can send commands to the Robotic Drive via a communication cable that advances, retracts or rotates the guidewire, and/or advances or retracts the catheters. The CorPath 200 System's software continuously monitors the communication between the Control Console and the Robotic Drive and alerts the physician if any communication error occurs.
### Performance Data
The CorPath 200 System for PVI is identical in design to the predicate CorPath 200 System for PCI and thus no new performance testing was conducted. Non-clinical testing of the predicate CorPath 200 System leveraged previously conducted bench and animal performance testing. biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, and product shelf life testing from the predicate device, and is applicable to the CorPath 200 System for PVI. These tests demonstrated that the technological characteristics such as product performance, design and intended use are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.
### Clinical Data
The CorPath 200 System was previously evaluated for PCI in the PRECISE Clinical Study. The PRECISE Clinical Study was a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, nonrandomized study of the CorPath 200 System. The objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath 200 System in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon devices for use in PCI procedures. One hundred and sixty-four (164) subjects were enrolled and evaluated in the PRECISE Clinical Study at nine (9) clinical sites. The overall rate of clinical procedural success was 97.6%. One hundred percent of subjects achieved post-procedure stenosis of less than 30% (as evaluated by a Core Laboratory) and 97.6% of subjects had an absence of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE). The overall device technical success rate was 98.8%. The PRECISE Trial demonstrated a reduction of radiation exposure to the primary operator.
The Robotic-Assisted Peripheral Intervention for peripheral arterial Disease (RAPID) Study was also conducted, which was a prospective non-randomized feasibility evaluation of the CorPath 200 System for use in the remote delivery and manipulation of guidewires and rapid exchange catheters during peripheral interventions. Subjects eligible to participate in the study had symptomatic
{6}------------------------------------------------
disease with either presence of critical limb ischemia, or lifestyle-limiting claudication requiring percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This study enrolled 20 Rutherford Class 2 to 5 subjects. There were 29 treated lesions all of which were successfully treated with the CorPath System by either balloon angioplasty (19/29; 65.5%) or balloon angioplasty with provisional stenting (10/29; 34.5%). The primary endpoints of device success (cannulation of the target vessel) and safety (absence of SAEs during the procedure) were achieved in all cases. In addition, clinical procedural success (<50% residual stenosis in all CorPath 200 System treated lesions at the completion of the interventional procedure without an unplanned switch to the manual procedure in the absence of device-related SAEs) was achieved in all subjects. A summary of the study results is presented in the table below.
| Clinical Study Outcome | Result | Observations |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Device Technical Success<br>Per Subject | 100% (20/20) | All target vessels successfully cannulated with the CorPath System. |
| Subjects Absent Device –<br>related SAEs during the<br>Procedure | 100% (20/20) | No subjects had a device-related SAE during the procedure. |
| Clinical Procedural<br>Success | 100% (29/29) | Less than 50% residual stenosis in all CorPath 200 System treated lesions at the completion of the interventional procedure without an unplanned switch to the manual procedure in the absence of device-related SAEs |
| Device malfunctions | 0% (0/20) | No device malfunctions occurred. |
| Angiographic<br>complications | 0% (0/29) | No angiographic complications occurred in any of the treated lesions. |
| Clinical events | 3/20 (15%) | Puncture site hematoma in three subjects. |
### Conclusion
Based on similar intended use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics, the CorPath 200 System is 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.
