Device Story
System assists orthopedic surgeons in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by providing patient-specific surgical guides and anatomical models. Input: patient CT or X-ray DICOM images. Software (Intelligent Surgery Knee Segmentation Engine) uses deep learning to segment femur/tibia and generate 3D models. Intelligent Surgery Knee Implant Recognition Engine uses optimization algorithms to determine implant size and position based on surgical technique. Enhatch technicians manage the SaaS preoperative planning workflow; surgeon reviews and approves the plan. Output: 3D-printed patient-specific surgical guides and anatomical models. Guides are used intra-operatively to reference implant placement. Benefits include precise implant positioning based on patient anatomy, potentially improving surgical outcomes. System is non-adaptive; algorithms are static.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes segmentation system testing (CT/X-ray DICOM accuracy), 3D model verification, software system testing (landmark detection accuracy), guide wear testing, and full-use cadaver specimen simulations performed by multiple surgeons to validate overall system performance and accuracy.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises software (SaaS) and 3D-printed patient-specific hardware. Software utilizes deep learning for image segmentation and optimization algorithms for implant planning. Connectivity is web-based. Hardware is single-use. Software is classified as moderate level of concern. Design controls follow ISO 14971 and IEC 62304.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty using the U2 Total Knee System. Contraindicated for patients with severe bone deformities, including HKA > 15° or deformities resulting from prior distal femur or proximal tibia fractures.

#### 5. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
The United Orthopedic Knee Patient Specific Instrumentation is comprised of: United Orthopedics (UO) surgical guides (hardware), anatomical models (physical replica), Intelligent Surgery Knee CT Segmentation Engine / Intelligent Surgery Knee X-ray Segmentation Engine (software), and Intelligent Surgery Knee Implant Recognition Engine (software). Enhatch is responsible for design and development of all three components of the system.
The subject device is intended to facilitate the implantation of the U2 Knee protheses under the U2 Knee System developed and distributed by United Orthopedics Corporation: U2 Total Knee System.
#### [THE SOFTWARE]
The Intelligent Surgery Knee Segmentation Engine consists of two imaging modalities, CT (Knee CT Segmentation) and X-ray (Knee X-ray Segmentation). The Intelligent Surgery Knee CT Segmentation Engine and X-ray Segmentation Engine are web applications that use deep learning algorithms to detect and extract region of interest (ROI) information (femur and tibia) from medical imaging data (DICOM). The segmentation engines generate 3D models which can be used for treatment planning of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), design of surgical guides, or generation of 3D printed anatomical models.
The Intelligent Surgery Knee Implant Recognition Engine is a web application that uses an optimization algorithm as a treatment planning tool for total knee arthroplasty. It assists in selecting implant size and position, from a range of implants of a total knee implant system, using a range of run parameters based upon the TKA surgical technique of that system. The software identifies anatomical landmarks of the patient's bony anatomy and articular surface topographies to reference the position and alignment of the femoral and tibial implant components. This positioning and alignment in turn allows for design of surgical guides and of the United Orthopedic Knee Patient Specific Instrumentation .
Note, these algorithms are static and non-adaptive; they do not alter their behavior over time based on user input.
#### [THE HARDWARE]
The UO surgical guides and anatomical models are patient-specific instruments designed to facilitate the implantation of the United Orthopedics Knee protheses. The UO surgical guides are designed based on preoperative plan generated by the software Intelligent Surgery Knee Implant Recognition Engine.

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?

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.
