- Difference in Spray Capacity (BN007 vs. AViTA NS13)
Difference:
- BN007 spray volume: 0.24-0.48 ml / 6 sec (2.4-4.8 ml/min)
- NS13 spray volume: 0.4–0.5 ml / 10 sec (≈2.4–3 ml/min)
Assessment:
The spray capacity of BN007 partially overlaps with the claimed spray output range of AViTA NS13. Although BN007 has a wider spray output range, both devices provide a spray function intended to moisturize and soften nasal secretions prior to suction.
Justification for SE:
This difference does not impact substantial equivalence because:
1. Both devices use the spray function to support nasal moisturizing, which assists mucus removal.
2. The spray function of BN007 has the same intended functional purpose as the spray/irrigation function of AViTA NS13.
3. The difference in spray output reflects an operational design difference and does not alter the fundamental suction-based operating principle of the device.
4. Verification testing demonstrated that BN007 met its predefined spray capacity acceptance criteria.
5. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are introduced.
Conclusion:
The spray capacity difference represents an operational design difference and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
- Power Source Difference (Rechargeable vs. AAA Batteries)
Difference:
- BN007: Rechargeable 1200 mAh battery (5V/2A)
- Geon S2 / NS13: 2 × AAA batteries
Assessment:
BN007 uses a built-in rechargeable battery, while predicates use replaceable AAA batteries.
Page 9 of 11
{13}
AViTA
Traditional 510(k)
## Justification for SE:
The change in power source does not affect safety or performance because:
1. Output suction and spray functions are independently verified and within the same range as predicates.
2. Rechargeable power does not alter intended use or raise new EMC risks (EMC fully tested).
3. Device remains non-life-supporting and non-critical; power method does not influence clinical outcome.
## Conclusion:
This difference is technological but does not change intended use or introduce new risks.
## Difference in Spray Delivery Interface (BN007 vs. Predicate Devices)
### Nasal Spray Mask
#### Difference:
- BN007 includes a soft silicone sprayer nasal mask that guides the spray mist toward the nostrils.
- The Geon S2 predicate device does not include a spray function.
- The AViTA NS13 predicate device uses a sprayer head/nozzle to deliver moisturizing spray toward the nasal entrance.
#### Assessment:
The sprayer nasal mask in BN007 functions as a soft silicone interface that guides the spray mist toward the nasal entrance during the spray operation. This component does not independently generate pressure, suction, or aerosol output. Instead, it serves only as a physical interface that directs the spray mist toward the nostrils.
## Justification for SE:
The design difference does not impact substantial equivalence because:
1. The sprayer nasal mask performs the same functional role as the spray delivery interface used in the
Page 10 of 11
{14}
AViTA
Traditional 510(k)
predicate device NS13.
2. The component only guides the moisturizing spray and does not alter the fundamental operating principle of the device, which is suction-based removal of nasal secretions.
3. The spray function is intended only to moisturize and soften nasal secretions prior to suction and does not introduce new therapeutic functions or additional risks.
**Conclusion:**
The addition of the sprayer nasal mask represents a minor design variation in the spray delivery interface and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
# 9 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSIONS
The differences between the BN007 and the predicate devices—including suction pressure range (compared with Geon S2), spray capacity (compared with AViTA NS13), power source, device weight, and accessory variations—do not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness. The fundamental operating principle remains the same: both the subject and predicate devices generate controlled negative pressure to remove nasal secretions in children in a home environment. The additional spray function serves only to moisturize and soften nasal secretions prior to suction and does not alter the clinical purpose of the device. Therefore, the BN007 is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.

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?

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.
