Dear Steve Murray:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

Table 5.5-1 - Proposed Devices
The Low Profile Gastrostomy Tube Family will be comprised of two different brands of low profile gastrostomy tube kits - the Entuit Low Profile Kits (ENFit and Legacy versions) and the PromaX Low Profile Kit (ENFit), There are several minor design differences between the Entuit and PromaX offerings, including: hub strap width, extension set valve connector stem height, ENFit connector grip surface, length of ENFit feeding and Y-port stem on continuous extension set, and cap/tether configuration of the extension set for PromaX.
The proposed low profile devices are constructed primarily of silicone and consists of a hub which is overmolded on to a previously extruded bi-lumen shaft. At the distal end, a silicone balloon is bonded to the shaft using a silicone RTV. The tip of the shaft is filled
{9}------------------------------------------------
with radiopaque barium RTV. The hub has two ports. The top (center) port contains a reflux valve assembly which is keyed to accept the extension set connectors. Leaks are prevented by the reflux valve assembly (with cross-slit valve design). The second port is the inflation port and contains the inflation valve.
In use, the balloon end of the catheter is inserted through a gastrointestinal stoma tract and into the stomach. The balloon is then inflated with sterile or distilled water (per the recommended volume for the specific device size) to secure the device in place. To confirm placement of the device in the stomach, fluoroscopic procedures are typically used since the catheter shaft tip has radiopaque barium stripe present.
Accessories for the proposed devices include two extension set configurations (bolus and continuous, each available in both ENFit-compatible version and non-ENFit compatible version due to ENFit market transition status), an inflation syringe, a feeding syringe (similarly available in both ENFit compatible and non-ENFit compatible versions), gauzes, and a stoma measuring device (for the Entuit offering) to facilitate device placement and use.
The proposed low profile devices are available in the configurations shown below in Table 5.5-2.
| Size | 0.8 | 1.0 | 1.5 | 2.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 |

Table 5.5-2 – LP G-Tube Configurations (Length [cm] for Each FR Size)
The extension sets have a valve connector end that inserts into the LP G-Tube reflux valve. For ENFit Extension Sets, the opposite end has an ENFit-compatible connector complying with ISO 80369-3 (for prevention of misconnections with non-enteral feeding devices). The extension set can then connect to any ENFit-compatible enteral giving sets or ENFit-compatible syringes. For Legacy Extension Sets (for the Entuit offering), the opposite end has a connector that can accept connection from non-ENFit catheter tip syringes and giving sets.
The ISO 80369-3 standard for enteral feeding ENFit connections was released in its final form on July 1, 2016. Progression of healthcare facilities adopting enteral devices with ENFit connectors has been slow as reported by industry organizations such as GEDSA and ECRI. As a result, both ENFit Extension Sets and Legacy Extension Sets are being made available to meet short-term patient needs.
{10}------------------------------------------------
The PromaX Low Profile Kits will only be offered in an ENFit version, targeted at the long term full market transition to ENFit connections.

As can be seen from the above table, the changes are limited in scope and many characteristics are unchanged from the predicate device. The limited differences are as follows:
- The indications for use, while slightly changed in wording, does specify the same o intended use and therefore does support substantial equivalence;
- The balloon inflation volume rating change from a fixed value to a range does not change functionality nor use of the device but only provides flexibility in meeting individual patient needs for device retention;
- . The new reflux valve design (cross-slit) performs the same function as the predicate device's reflux valve and is shown to be equivalent or better based on performance testing, including creating an effective seal to the extension set valve connector;
- The inflation valve port has a minor dimensional change for improved manufacturability:
- . The extension connectors similarly perform the same function as those of the predicate but incorporates a material change for improved strength of the valve connector and ISO 80369-3 (ENFit) compliance for the feeding connector (latter for the ENFit version only on both Entuit and PromaX);
- . The new pinch clamp for the Continuous Extension Set performs the same function as the predicate but enables improved pinch clamp performance;
- Certain warning information is simply transferred from a warning tag to printing ● on the extension set pinch clamp itself;
- o Entuit legacy Continuous Extension Set has an added medication port adapter cap (instructions provided in related IFU);
- o In addition. PromaX valve connector has minor aesthetic differences (compared to Entuit) for market differentiation, including a slightly shorter stem.
Any differences noted above do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. The proposed devices are deemed substantially equivalent.

#### 5.8 Performance Data
#### 5.8.1 Non-Clinical Tests
Based on detailed analysis of the proposed devices as compared to the predicate device and considering previous testing on materials in not only the predicate device but also other devices cleared for Xeridiem Medical Devices, required Verification and Validation Testing was decided upon for the proposed devices. It was found that the proposed devices are in compliance with design and performance requirements according to ISO 80369-3:2016 Small-bore connectors for liquids and qases in healthcare applications – Part 3: Connectors for enteral applications (for the ENFitcompatible devices). EN1615:2000 Enteral feeding catheters and enteral giving sets for single use and their connectors: Design and testing, and biocompatibility requirements assessed per ISO 10993-1:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.

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.
