Indications for Use
The SAVe II™ series are intended to provide short-term ventilatory support to adults during CPR or when Positive-Pressure Ventilation (PPV) is required to manage Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF). The SAVe II™ series are appropriate for adults that weigh at least 45 kg. It is intended to be used in pre-hospital, field hospitals, and transport environments.
Device Story
The SAVe II™ and SAVe II™ Basic are portable, battery-powered emergency ventilators designed for use by first responders in pre-hospital, field hospital, and transport settings. The device uses an internal compressor to deliver volume-targeted, time-cycled, pressure-limited breaths using ambient air or supplemental oxygen. It features an active breathing valve and connects to patients via face mask, supraglottic airway, endotracheal tube, or tracheostomy tube. The device is software-controlled, with settings based on patient height (SAVe II™ allows user adjustment; SAVe II™ Basic has fixed parameters). It monitors airway pressure and provides visual alarms for circuit disconnect, over-pressure, low battery, and high temperature. The device aims to augment manual BVM ventilation, providing automated, controlled positive pressure to improve patient outcomes in emergency scenarios where compressed oxygen may be unavailable.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing confirmed the device meets specifications, including durability (2,000 hours), EMC, EMI, electrical safety, and atmospheric pressure testing (simulated 10,000 ft altitude). No clinical data was required or presented.
Technological Characteristics
Battery-powered compressor; volume-targeted, time-cycled, pressure-limited ventilation; membrane panel interface with LEDs and 7-segment displays; lithium-ion battery; standard ventilator circuit; software-controlled; sterilization not specified; materials tested per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for short-term ventilatory support in adults weighing at least 45 kg during CPR or for management of Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF). Contraindicated for patients <45 kg, situations where PPV is contraindicated, or if spontaneous breathing patients cannot synchronize with the device.
Regulatory Classification

### Device Description:
The SAVe II™ and SAVe II™ Basic ventilators are battery powered compressors to deliver automated, controlled positive pressure breaths with ambient air for up to 10 hours. It is designed to augment the capabilities of first responders by supplementing Bag Valve Mask (BVM) manual ventilation delivery with an automated solution that can be rapidly deployed by minimally skilled providers in environments where compressed oxygen is unavailable or ill-advised.
To support use in emergency situations, the SA Ve II™ is portable and easy to carry. Rapid initial setup is enabled by default ventilator settings based on adult patient's height, ranging from 4'6'' to 6'6" weighing at least 45 kg, organized in a circular-shaped graphic. To mitigate the risk of patient injury, airway pressure is monitored and users are alerted to potentially dangerous low and high pressure situations. Immediate patient injury due to high pressure is avoided by a pressure cut-off that triggers an exhalation if inspiratory pressure exceeds device settings. Rapid troubleshooting is enabled by visual alarm indicators located together at the bottom of the unit that identifies the most likely cause of the triggered alarm.

### Substantial Equivalence Discussion - SAVe IITM
Table 2 compares the SAVe II™ vs. the predicate Impact Model 754 (K931473). One will note that the predicate has more features than the proposed SA Ve II™ and thus one could consider it a subset of the predicate.
It should be noted that our legacy SAVe™ ventilator (K071221) has many of the equivalent function and features of the SAVe IJ™. The legacy SAVe™ used the Impact Model 754 (K931473) as its predicate when it was reviewed and found substantially equivalent.
In addition, we have included in Table 2 a reference predicate, the SA Ve™ ventilator (K071221).

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.
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.
