How it works

From device description to draft SE argument.

Four steps, all inside the project you're already using to organize your submission.

01

Describe your device

One time, per project: intended use and technological characteristics, in your own words. This becomes the basis for everything else in the workspace.

02

Discover candidate predicates

Predicase searches across 175,000+ clearances for devices similar to yours — surfacing candidates you might not have found by keyword search alone, ranked before you save a single one.

03

See the score, not just a guess

Every candidate gets a transparent AI-ranking score with a visible breakdown — semantic similarity, product code match, recency, and precedent strength — not a single opaque number.

04

Draft your SE rationale

For any predicate you save, generate a draft substantial equivalence argument comparing your device to it — reviewed and edited by you before it goes anywhere near a submission.

What's in the workspace

Four capabilities, one connected workflow.

Predicate discovery

Once your device description is saved, Predicase searches the full 510(k) corpus for semantically similar devices — surfacing candidates you can add to your project with one click, ranked by the same transparent score used everywhere else in the workspace.

Intelligence plan · searches 175,000+ clearances

Transparent AI-ranking score

Every scored predicate shows its work: semantic similarity to your device description, product code match, how recent the clearance is, and how often it's been cited as a predicate by later submissions. No black box — you can see exactly why a candidate ranked where it did.

Intelligence plan · full breakdown on every score

AI-drafted SE rationale

Generate a draft substantial equivalence argument — intended use and technological characteristics, argued separately — comparing your device to any predicate saved to your project. Edited drafts stay distinct from the AI original, and a flag appears automatically if your device description changes after a draft was generated.

Intelligence plan · editable, reviewable drafts

Predicate health monitoring

Watch any predicate and get notified if it gets a new MAUDE adverse event report, an FDA recall, or a CDRH warning letter — checked daily, so a predicate's safety profile can't change underneath your submission strategy without you knowing.

Why it's built this way

A score you can defend, not just a number you're told to trust.

Regulatory work doesn't run on confidence — it runs on being able to explain your reasoning. The AI-ranking score is built around that.

A black-box AI score
"87"

A single number, no breakdown. You can't tell a reviewer — or yourself — why it's an 87 and not a 60, or which factor actually drove the result.

Predicase's AI-ranking score
87

Similarity 39/45 · product code match 25/25 · recency 12/15 · cited as a predicate 4 times. Every point traces back to something real, and editable when your device description changes.

Everything you need for a 510(k) submission. Nothing you don't.
