# DEVICE DESCRIPTION
#### Device Overview
The subject device, Mix2Vial® Transfer Device (M2V), is a single-use, gamma sterilized, nonpyrogenic device intended for the transfer of drugs contained in two vials. The M2V consists of two vial adapter bodies with piercing spike and wings, connected back-to-back via a Luer connection, with an in-line filter.
The female vial adapter (clear) connects to the drug vial and the male vial adapter (blue) connects to the diluent vial. The vacuum present in the lyophilized drug vial draws in the contents of the diluent vial.
The female Luer connection interfaces to a syringe and has an in-line 5um filter that strains the drug or solution when aspirated out of the vial. The male connection has a "Tight Grip" that provides a secure connection to the diluent vial having a 20mm neck diameter.
Puncturing the elastomeric closure or "stopper" of a drug or diluent vial is achieved by means of an integral polycarbonate cannulated spike located in the center of each Vial Adapter (VA) body of the M2V. Each side of the device (diluent vial side and drug vial side) is a polycarbonate molded part containing a Luer port.
After reconstitution, the drug can be administered by disconnecting the diluent vial and connecting a needleless syringe to the female Luer Lock of the female Vial Adapter. The device does not contain any medicinal substances and can be used with drug vials/diluent vials with a neck diameter of 20mm. The figure below depicts the components of the device.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/5/Figure/14 description: The image shows a diagram of a vial adapter component with labels. The diagram shows two main parts, a male vial adapter component (VA) labeled as '1' and a female VA labeled as '3'. The in-line filter is labeled as '2', the spike is labeled as '4', and the other parts are labeled as '5' and '6'.
#### Mix2Vial® Transfer Device
- 4. Spike
- 5. Luer Connector
- Skirt Wings 6.
The M2V has a 5-year shelf life.
The M2V device is intended for use by a patient (adolescents and adults) or caregivers for Home Use (HU) and by Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) in a clinical, hospital, or other healthcare environment. The subject device is available by prescription use only and has no known contraindications.
The M2V primary packaging consists of a polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) blister that is sealed with a Tyvek® lid on top of the blister pack.
#### Principle of Operation
The M2V is operated by a manual process. The device is connected to a diluent vial (supplied by the Drug Manufacturer) having a neck diameter of 20mm via the male Vial Adapter portion of the device. Then, the device is connected to a drug vial (supplied by the Drug Manufacturer) having a neck diameter of 20mm via the female Vial Adapter portion of the device.
The vial adapters contain an integral plastic cannulated spike located in the center of the Vial Adapter components, intended to puncture the vial stopper membrane allowing access to the vial contents. This piercing cannulated spike then facilitates the transfer of the drug between the diluent vial and the drug vial.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The device is swirled to mix the drug per the Drug Manufacturer's package insert.
The male Vial Adapter (with diluent bottle still attached) is unscrewed from the female Vial Adapter and discarded.
An empty syringe is pressurized then connected to the female Luer Lock (port on female Adapter). Once connection is secure, the air from the syringe is injected into the vial.
The device is then flipped, and the plunger of the syringe is pulled downward to withdraw the desired amount of the reconstituted drug. The device is flipped back with the vial side down, and the syringe is removed.
The drug can now be administered through the syringe.
## INDICATION FOR USE

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.
