#### General
This 510k submission for premarket clearance of the SCIg60 Infusion System is intended to expand the indications for use of the K142319 predicate to include infusion of the following human plasmaderived immunoglobulin solutions:
- -Gammagard Liquid, Immune Globulin Infusion (Human) 10% (manufactured by Baxalta),
- -Cuvitru Immune Globulin Infusion (Human) 20% (manufactured by Baxalta)
Bevond the expanded indications for use and associated updates to labeling, the SCIg60 Infusion System that is the subject of this submission is identical to that of the predicate in terms of principle of action, design, materials, functionality, and general performance.
#### Indications for Use
The SCIg60 Infusion System is intended for use in the home or hospital environment for the subcutaneous infusion of Hizentra, Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Liquid (manufactured by CSL Behring). Gammagard Liquid, Immune Globulin Infusion (Human) 10% (manufactured by Baxalta), and Cuvitru Immune Globulin Infusion (Human) 20% (manufactured by Baxalta) with the BD 60 ml syringe (model no. 309653).
## Comparison of Indications for Use of Subject and Predicate devices
The proposed indications for use of the SCIg60 Infusion System are identical to that of the predicate with the exception that infusion of Gammagard and Cuvitru are included.
The additional biological products being added to the SCIg60 Infusion System labeling have similar physicochemical characteristics to Hizentra with regard to composition, purity, presence
{4}------------------------------------------------
of trace contaminants, formulation and function. Any differences do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness or alter the intended therapeutic effect because the principle of action. labeling, and overall design the SCIg60 Infusion System account for and accommodate such variations in human-plasma derived immunoglobulin solutions.
## Primary Predicate Device(s)
K142319, SCIg60 Infusion System
## Device Description
The EMED SCIg60 Infusion System consists of the SCIg60 Infuser, the Infuset™ flow control extension set and SUB-Q patient administration set. The SCIg60 Infuser must be used with the BD 60 ml syringe (model no. 309653). The Infuset™ flow control extension sets and SUB-Q patient administration sets are also manufactured by EMED Technologies.
The SCIg60 Infuser is a reusable mechanical. non-electronic ambulatory infusion pump that does not require batteries or any electrical source. The EMED SCIg60 Infuser uses a spring as a source of pressure for the subcutaneous infusion of indicated human plasma-derived immunoglobulin solutions.
The Infuset™ flow control extension sets are assembled from standard luer lock components and specified lengths of PVC microbore tubing. The length and diameter of the tubing results in predetermined flow rates when used with the SCIg60 Infuser, and include slide-clamps for stopping the flow of fluid. The SCIg60 Infuser user manual includes information to guide users in the selection of Infuset™ flow control extension sets and SUB-Q patient administration sets users to achieve the desired infusion rates.
SCIg60 Infusion System should be used in accordance with its directions for use.
## Technological Characteristics
The overall principle of action for the SCIg60 Infusion System consists of a constant pressure source acting upon a syringe filled with fluid, with the flow rate of that fluid being regulated by PVC tubing with fixed fluid path dimensions (i.e. tubing length and inner diameter). The flow control properties of the tubing follows the Poiseuille equation in that pressure, length of fluid path, diameter of fluid path, and viscosity of a fluid in a system directly influence resultant flow rates of that fluid.
The SCIg60 Infuser, Infuset 101 flow control extension sets, and SUB-Q patient administration sets are identical to those presented in K142319.
The total flow rate range of the SCIg60 Infusion System has been adjusted from 12 - 52 ml/hr to 11 – 145 ml/hr to reflect the manufacturer-recommended total flow rates of the additional indicated immunoglobulin biologics. The increased upper limit of the total flow rate range does not represent a change in SCIg60 Infusion System design or performance, but instead reflects the expanded indications for use: the Prescribing Information for several of the proposed immunoglobulin solutions allow for greater total and per-site flow rates than Hizentra (the indicated biologic for the predicate). Additionally, manufacturers of proposed immunoglobulin solutions may also allow for use of more than 4 needles at once, thereby allowing for further increases in the upper limit of the total flow range performance range when compared with the predicate.
{5}------------------------------------------------
It is noted that the SCIg60 Infusion System instructions for use include only those combinations of Infuset and SUB-Q sets that provide flow rate performance in line with indicated immunoglobulin manufacturer recommendations. Combinations that allow for flow rates that exceed manufacturer recommendations are not provided. Therefore, the increased upper limit of the total flow rate range is acceptable in terms of clinical use as well as compliance with flow rate recommendations provided by immunoglobulin solution manufacturers.

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.
