#### 6. Device Description
The OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors provides Radiation Oncologists with near real-time, multi-point radiation-dose information obtained from two (2) Radiatrac® Plastic Scintillating Detectors (PSD) located on the surface of the patient's skin to monitor dose photon based radiation therapy for cancer treatment. This information allows the physician to monitor the dose at the skin surface, compare the actual dose relative to the planned dose, and provides
{4}------------------------------------------------
graphs and dose information for the current treatment as well as a log of the dose from five previous treatments. The actual verification of the dose radiation is accomplished by the other main components of the OARtrac® System, those being the Clinical Detector Unit (CDU) with its Charged Coupled Device (CCD) camera and the system's own proprietary dose management software.
#### 7. Indication for Use Statement
The OARtrac® System pre-calibrated skin sensors are specifically indicated for use during cancer treatments to measure photon beam therapy as an adjunct to treatment planning permitting measurement of radiation dose received on the surface of the skin. OARtrac® System pre-calibrated skin sensors are indicated for use when adhered to the surface of the skin using medical grade adhesive and with a medical grade bolus buildup placed directly on top of the sensor.
## 8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion
RadiaDyne has chosen its own OARtrac® System as the predicate device which was previously cleared under K141154, and indicated for male prostate cancer treatment to measure photon beam therapy as an adjunct to treatment planning permitting measurement of in-vivo radiation dose received at the protatic rectal interface. The following table compares the OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors to the original OARtrac® System with respect to intended use, indications for use, and performance testing between the subject and predicate device, thus demonstrating the basis for determination of substantial equivalence between the two devices.

## 9. Non-Clinical Performance Data
As part of demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors and in showing substantial equivalence to the predicate device that is the subject of this 510(k) submission, RadiaDyne completed a number of tests. The OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors meets all the requirements for overall design, biocompatibility, package shelf
{6}------------------------------------------------
life, electrical safety and EMC, which confirms that the output meets the design inputs and specifications for the device.
The OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors passed all the testing in accordance with national and international standards shown below to support substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device for which substantial equivalence is being claimed.
- Biocompatibility Testing per ISO 10993-1 (Parts 5, 10 and 11)
- Electrical Safety per IEC 60601-1
- . EMC per IEC 60601-1-2
- Software Verifications and Validation per IEC 62304
- . Package Shelf-Life per ASTM F1980-07
- . Device Risk Analysis per ISO 14971
- . Dose Range Verification Testing
- Ship Testing Calibration
#### 10. Clinical Performance Data
There was no human clinical testing required to support the OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors as the original OARtrac® System was not subjected to any human clinical studies. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors to the predicate device. The purpose of this testing was to verify that the OARtrac® System skin sensors with Radiatrac® PSD detectors provide results that are acceptable to current clinical standards when simulating treatments from a standard LINAC machine and the Accuray CyberKnife system. RadiaDyne showed that using the Radiatrac® PSD to take measurements at the surface of the skin is accurate to that within the established accuracy of the original OARtrac® System cleared under K141154.
#### 11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.
The OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors functions as a radiation does verification system when the patient receives their radiation treatment to the targeted area of their body applied at the surface of their skin. Therefore, based on the substantial equivalence analysis described above, the OARtrac® System with Skin Sensors, as designed, developed and manufactured for RadiaDyne, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the company's original OARtrac® System (K141154).
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.
