The Aespire Anesthesia Gas System with 7100 Ventilator is a gas machine that supplies set flows of medical gases to the breathing system. A large selection of frames, gases, and vaporizers give full control of the system configuration. It is available with up to three gases, two vaporizer positions and up to three cylinder connections. All models are available with 02/Air, 02/N20, or 02/Air/N20. All Aespire systems accept Tec series vaporizers. Safety features and devices within the Aespire with 7100 decrease the risk of hypoxic mixtures and complete power or sudden gas supply failures.
The 7100 Ventilator is a microprocessor based, electronically driven ventilator with a built in monitoring system for inspired oxygen, airway pressure and exhaled volume. Sensors in the breathing circuit are used to control and monitor patient ventilation as well as measure inspired oxygen concentration. This allows for the compensation of compression losses, fresh gas contribution and small leakage in the breathing absorber, bellows and system. User setting and microprocessor calculations control breathing patterns. User interface keeps settings in memory. The user may change settings with a simple and secure setting sequence. A bellows contains breathing gasses to be delivered to the patient. Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is regulated electronically. Positive pressure is maintained in the breathing system so that any leakage that occurs is outward. An RS-232 serial digital communications port connects to and communicates with external devices.

| Technology: | The GE Healthcare anesthesia machines employ the same fundamental scientific<br>technology as their predicate devices. This 510(k) does not introduce new<br>technology to the anesthesia machine or the two alternate flow sensors.<br><br>The GE Healthcare anesthesia machines are identical to the predicate GE<br>Healthcare anesthesia machines, except for the introduction of two alternate<br>flow sensors The changed components can be used with all of the Aestiva,<br>Aespire, Avance and Aisys models of anesthesia machine offered from GE<br>Healthcare, and they differ from the predicate version in the following ways:<br>• Material composition: There are some new materials which are introduced<br>to the patient gas path. Biocompatibility testing has been completed to<br>demonstrate that the proposed materials do not introduce any new<br>biomaterials risk, and are substantially equivalent to the predicate.<br><br>• Performance: The performance requirements of the anesthesia machine and<br>the changed components are identical. Minor changes were made to the<br>proposed alternative flow sensors to deliver equivalent performance. There<br>is no change to the performance of the anesthesia machine or the alternate<br>flow sensors. As described below, the performance of the GE Healthcare<br>anesthesia machines has been fully verified and validated with the changes<br>described in this 510(k). | |
| | Reprocessing instructions: the proposed components are reprocessed<br>differently from the predicate version, and the updated reprocessing<br>instructions are included with the device and the spare parts. The updated<br>reprocessing instructions have been verified and validated. There are no other changes to the GE Healthcare anesthesia machines being<br>introduced in this 510(k). Testing has demonstrated that the proposed GE<br>Healthcare anesthesia machines perform in a substantially equivalent manner to<br>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.
