Indications for Use
The OmniPro™ System is intended for the measuring, recording and analysis of the electrical activity of a patient's brain through the attachment of multiple electrodes at various locations to aid in monitoring and diagnosis as routinely found in clinical setting for EEG/EMG/EOG/ECG/Air Flow/Oximetry.
Device Story
OmniPro™ is a dual-purpose amplifier system for polysomnography (PSG) and electroencephalography (EEG) in clinical settings. It captures physiological signals—EEG, EMG, EOG, ECG, nasal airflow, and oxygen saturation (SpO2)—via patient-attached electrodes and sensors. Signals travel to an amplifier module, then through a shielded multiconductor cable to an interface module and a PC-based data acquisition (DAQ) board. The system supports remote monitoring by transmitting data from a patient-side PC to a remote PC via modem over the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Clinicians use the remote PC to verify signal quality and electrode placement during collection and to analyze/store data post-recording. The system provides automated event logging and annotations to assist in clinical diagnosis. By enabling continuous monitoring and data recording, the device aids healthcare providers in assessing neurological and sleep-related conditions, facilitating timely clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including safety testing per IEC 60601-1, electromagnetic compatibility and immunity testing per IEC 60601-1-2, and software compliance testing against design requirements.

#### 6. Description:
The OmniAmp is a dual-purpose amplifier system for use in polysomnogram (PSG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) studies in a hospital or diagnostic center.
The system hardware consists of an amplifier module with electrode inputs, an interface module and a personal computer (PC) with a data acquisition (DAQ) board. Electrodes
{1}------------------------------------------------
and sensors on the patient are connected to the amplifier module, which in turn is connected via a multiconductor cable to an interface box. The interface box is connected via a second multiconductor cable to the DAQ board in the PC, which is used to process display and store the EEG or PSG data. DC power to the amplifier is supplied from the DAQ board through the multiconductor cable. The PC at the patient location is connected to a second PC at a remote monitoring center via modem over the public switched telephone network (PSTN). In EEG studies, the remote PC is used to monitor the waveform data as it is collected by the patient PC to ensure adequate electrode placement and signal quality. At the end of the recorded data is transferred from the patient PC to the remote PC. where it is analyzed and stored.
The amplifier module comes in PSG and EEG versions. These modules utilize the same internal amplifier hardware. They differ in terms of the configuration of the electrode inputs to the amplifier channels. Both versions of the amplifier modules have male safety electrode receptacles for connection of each electrode. They have a graphic panel to indicate the location and name for each electrode connection. The PSG amplifier module has an OEM oximetry module that works with a finger sensor to detect the oxygen saturation (SPO2) and pulse rate. Both versions utilize the same interface cable to connect the amplifier module to an interface module located next to the PC. The interface cable may be up to 50 feet long and is shielded to reduce EM1. Both versions may have a clip to secure the box to the bed covers and may have a means to connect a lanyard for hanging the module from the patient's neck to allow for patient mobility.
The amplifier module has twenty-five electrically isolated differential amplifier channels. Twenty-one of the amplifier channels has the same gain and bandwidth settings and is used for the EEG. EMG, and EOG signals. The amplifier has one channel set for ECG, two channels set for interface with the respiratory effort piezoelectric belt sensors and one channel set to interface with the nasal airflow thermal type sensors. In the PSG mode, the electrode box connects thirteen (twelve in home use configuration) EEG/EMG/EOG amplifier channels, one ECG channel and the three respiratory amplifier channels to patient electrodes. In the EEG mode, the electrode box connects twenty-one amplifiers, set for EEG signals, and one ECG amplifier to the appropriate patient electrodes. The output cable connects all twenty-five-amplifier channels to the DAQ board where the system selects the channels for use in the patient study.
The interface cable carries status information between the interface module and the amplifier module in addition to the measured signals and power In the EEG mode, a iumper in the electrode cap receptacle indicates when it is connected. A digital line from the DAQ card activates the calibration signal to the amplifier channels. These digital inputs and outputs are connected from the amplifier to the DAQ board in the PC via the interface cable. If necessary, the Digital Input/Output (DIO) lines from the DAQ board in the PC will be used to select between PSG and EEG modes and to select the gain of the amplifier channels. The cable from the amplifier module to the PC DAQ board can be up to 50 feet long. It is shielded and has wires grouped to separate sensitive signal wires from the oximeter serial data, any DIO lines and +5V power for the amplifier

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.
