## DEVICE DESCRIPTION as required by 807.92(a)(4)
The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy module, M-ENTROPY is a single-width plug-in parameter module for a Datex-Ohmeda modular monitoring system. The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy module, M-ENTROPY can be used with the following Datex-Ohmeda modular monitors: S/5™ Anesthesia Monitor (AM) with main software L-ANE03(A).00 or newer version, and S/5TM Compact Anesthesia Monitor (CAM) with main software L-CANE03(A)..00 or newer version. Entropy is an innovative monitoring modality which is designed to provide information on the electrical activity of the CNS during general anesthesia. Entropy monitoring is based on acquisition, and processing of raw EEG and FEMG signals by using the Entropy algorithm. The entropy algorithm is a Datex-Ohmeda application of spectral entropy based on information theory. The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy Module for the Datex-Ohmeda S/57M Monitoring system may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents. The Datex-Olumeda Entropy sensor is a rectangular shaped, pre-gelled array of three (3) Zipprep® electrodes that is applied to the patient's skin to record electrophysiological (such as EEG) signals. It is a low impedance, single patient use, disposable sensor that is designed for application to the frontal / temporal area. The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy sensor is designed to provide ease of use and electrode placement accuracy. The sensor is used in conjunction with M-ENTROPY. The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy sensor cable connects the Entropy sensor to the M-ENTROPY module both mechanically and electrically.
Calculated parameters are:
- Response Entropy, RE (range 0-100), continuous processed variable for fast detection of activation of facial muscles, i.e. FFMG.
- State Entropy, SE (range 0-91), continuous processed variable calculated from the EEG. SE is . designed to be sensitive to the hypnotic effect of anesthetic drugs in the brain.
- . Burst Suppression Ratio, BSR (range=0-100%), the percentage of epochs in the past 60 seconds in which the EEG signal is considered suppressed.
All the calculated parameters can be selected on the display, and trended. The raw EEG signal can be displayed from one of the two monitored channels. The waveform size, color and sweep speed can be adjusted. Alarms for Entropy are taken care of by the host monitor and follow the user interface for alarms in Datex-Ohmeda S/S patient monitors. There are auditory and visual alarms and user adjustable limits for Entropy variables. The default is OFF, because the device does not provide information to be used for treatment or therapy.
### INTENDED USE as required by 807.92(a)(5)
#### Intended use:
The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy module , M-ENTROPY and accessories are intended to be used with Datex-Ohmeda modular multiparameter monitoring the neurophysiological status of hospitalized patients.
### Indications for use:
The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy Module is indicated for monitoring the state of the central nervous system (CNS) by data acquisition of electroencephalograph (EEG) and frontal electromyograph (FEMG) signals in the anesthesia environment. The spectral entropies, State Entropy (SE) and Response Entropy (RE), are processed EEG and FEMG variables, and may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents. The Entropy module is indicated for use by qualified medical personnel only.

# SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERITICS OF DEVICE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE as required by 807,92(a)(6)
The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy module, M-ENTROPY is a single-width plug-in parameter module for a Datex-Ohmeda modular monitoring system. The Datex-Ohmeda Entropy module, M-ENTROPY can be used with the following Datex-Ohmeda modular monitors: S/5™ Anesthesia Monitor (AM) with main software L-ANE03(A)..00 or newer version, and S/5™ Compact Anesthesia Monitor (CAM) with main software L-CANE03(A)..00 or newer version. The predicate Datex-Chmeda BIS module, M-BIS can be used with the following Datex-Ohmeda modular monitors: S/5 Anesthesia Monitor(AM), S/5 Compact Anesthesia Monitor (CAM), S/5 Critical Care Monitor (CCM) and S/5 Compact Critical Care Monitor (CCCM) with main software L-ANE02(A)..00 or L-ICU02(A)..00 or newer version. M-ENTROPY and the predicate M-BIS are modules that are used to calculate parameters from electroencephalograph (EEG) and frontal electromyograph (FEMG) signals. M-ENTROPY provides two spectral entropy parameters State Entropy (SE) and Response Entropy (RE). Whereas M-BIS provides Bispectral Index (BIS), Signal Quality Index (SQI), Suppression Ratio (SR) and Electromyography (EMG) variables . The sensors used for M-ENTROPY and M-BIS measurements are based on similar electrode technology. The sensor placement is similar, but the graphical printing is different. Mechanically M-ENTROPY and M-BIS modules are similar, but M-BIS has separate preamplifier (headbox), whereas M-ENTROPY has the preamplifier built-in to the module. The comparison above shows that there are no new questions of safety and effectiveness for the Datex-Ohmeda Entropy module M-ENTROPY.

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.
