Indications for Use
The CARESCAPE Respiratory Modules (E-sCO, E-sCOV, E-sCAiO, E-sCAiOV) are indicated for use with a host device for monitoring respiratory parameters (CO2, O2, N2O, anesthetic agents, anesthetic agent identification, and respiratory rate) and ventilatory parameters (airway pressure, flow and volume) of adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. When monitoring neonatal or other patients that have high respiration rate or low tidal volume these modules shall be used within the limits of respiration rates and tidal volumes to ensure specified measurement accuracy. These modules are intended for use by qualified medical personnel only.
Device Story
CARESCAPE Respiratory Modules are single-width plug-in modules for modular hospital monitoring systems; they function as diverting-type gas samplers. A small continuous flow of gas is sampled from the patient's breath; sensors detect gas concentrations; modules calculate respiratory and ventilatory parameters; data is communicated to a host monitor. The modules do not trigger alarms independently; the host monitor manages all physiological and technical alarms based on received data. Used in clinical settings by qualified medical personnel to monitor patient respiratory status; provides real-time data to assist clinicians in patient management and assessment of respiratory/ventilatory function.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including module verification, system integration testing, final validation, and safety/performance testing against recognized standards (IEC 60601 series, ISO 21647).
Technological Characteristics
Diverting-type respiratory gas module; plug-in form factor for modular monitoring systems. Measures CO2, O2, N2O, anesthetic agents, and ventilatory parameters (pressure, flow, volume). Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4, IEC 60601-1-6, ISO 21647, and IEC 62366. Connectivity via host monitor interface.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring respiratory (CO2, O2, N2O, anesthetic agents, agent ID, respiratory rate) and ventilatory (airway pressure, flow, volume) parameters in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. Requires use within specified respiration rate and tidal volume limits for neonates or patients with high rates/low volumes. For use by qualified medical personnel only.

The CARESCAPE™ Respiratory Modules, E-sCO, E-sCOV, E-Device Description: sCAiO and E-sCAiOV and accessories measure respiratory parameters (concentrations of Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Nitrous Oxide and anesthetic agents in the patient's breath, as well as the patient's respiration rate) and ventilatory parameters (airway pressure, flow and breathing volumes) of hospital patients.
> Parameters measured by the CARESCAPE™ Respiratory Modules and accessories are CO2, N2O, O2, Anesthetic agents, Agent ID and Spirometry depending on the model used. The CARESCAPE™ Respiratory Modules is a family of single-width plug-in parameter modules for modular monitoring systems. The CARESCAPETM Respiratory Modules are of the diverting type, which means that a small continuous flow of gas is sampled from the patient's breath to the module for measuring the gas

concentrations. The CARESCAPE™ Respiratory Modules acquire the detected signals from the sensors of the modules. calculate the parameter values and communicate them to the host device. The CARESCAPE™ Respiratory Modules measure the patient's respiration rate and activate a status signal if no breaths are detected in 20 second time and the modules activate relevant status signals upon detecting failures or anomalies in the operation of the module hardware, software or gas sampling system.
The CARESCAPETM Respiratory Modules do not trigger or issue any physiological or technical alarms by themselves. All management of alarms is entirely performed by the host monitors based on parameter and status data received from the modules, as well as on the alarm condition data stored in the host device.
The CARESCAPE Respiratory Modules (E-sCO, E-sCOV, E-Intended Use: sCAiO, E-sCAiOV) are indicated for use with a host device for monitoring respiratory parameters (CO2, O2, N2O, anesthetic agents, anesthetic agent identification, and respiratory rate) and ventilatory parameters (airway pressure, flow and volume) of adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. When monitoring neonatal or other patients that have high respiration rate or low tidal volume these modules shall be used within the limits of respiration rates and tidal . volumes to ensure specified measurement accuracy. These modules are intended for use by qualified medical personnel only.

510(k) Number:
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.
