Glucose, Lactate, Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen, Oxygen Saturation, Total Hemoglobin, Oxyhemoglobin, Carboxyhemoglobin, Methemoglobin, and Deoxyhemoglobin in heparinized arterial and venous whole blood. Those claims have not changed. In this submission, the use by healthcare professionals in clinical laboratory settings and for point-of-care usage for quantitative determination of pH, Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (pCO2), Partial Pressure of Oxygen (pO2), Hematocrit, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Ionized Calcium, Ionized Magnesium, Glucose, and Lactate in heparinized capillary whole blood is being added.
The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer has slots to accommodate two sensor cartridges (Primary and Auxiliary). The analyzer will determine the configuration of the system by detecting which sensor cards are installed. The reporting of CO-Oximeter parameters (or not reporting them) are determined by the selection of the Sensor Cards, for which there are two options:
- Primary Sensor Card 1 reports the following analytes: pO2, pCO2, pH, Hct, tHb, Na, Cl, K, iCa, iMg, Glu, SO2, O2Hb, COHb, MetHb, HHb, tBil, HbF
- Primary Sensor Card 2 reports the following analytes: pO2, pCO2, pH, Hct, tHb, Na, Cl, K, iCa, iMg, Glu, SO2
Auxiliary Sensor Card Port: The reporting of Creatinine and BUN parameters (or not reporting them) is determined by the selection of the Auxiliary Sensor Card
- Auxiliary Sensor Card 1 enables Creatinine and BUN parameters
- Auxiliary Sensor Card 2 is a "dummy" sensor card and does not report any parameters.
The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer is a blood gas, co-oximetry, electrolyte, chemistry, and hematology analyzer with an enhanced test menu and multiple quality control options. Both traditional internal and external quality control is available, as well as an on-board Quality Management System (QMS), and an electronic monitoring approach to ensure the analyzer is working properly at all times. The Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer accepts samples from syringes, open blood collection tubes, and capillary tubes. The end user selects which analytes are to be tested from the test menu on the analyzer display screen.
## B Principle of Operation:
pH is measured using a hydrogen ion selective glass membrane. One side of the glass is in contact with a solution of constant pH. The other side is in contact with a solution of unknown pH. A change in potential develops which is proportional to the pH difference of these solutions. This change in potential is measured against a reference electrode of constant potential. The magnitude of the potential difference is a measure, then, of the pH of the unknown solution.
pCO2 is measured with a modified pH sensor. Carbon dioxide in the unknown solution makes contact with a gas permeable membrane mounted on a combination measuring/ reference electrode. $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ diffuses across the membrane into a thin layer of electrolyte solution in response to partial pressure difference. This solution then becomes equilibrated with the external gas pressure. $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ in the solution becomes hydrated producing carbonic acid, which results in a change in hydrogen ion activity.
K221900 - Page 4 of 15
{4}
pO2 is measured amperometrically by the generation of a current at the sensor surface. As oxygen diffuses through a gas permeable membrane, the oxygen molecules are reduced at the cathode, consuming 4 electrons for every molecule of oxygen reduced. This flow of electrons is then measured by the sensor and is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen.
Hematocrit is defined as the percentage of red blood cells to the total blood volume and can be obtained by measuring electrical resistance of the blood sample. Two standard solutions are used to calibrate the hematocrit sensor and to obtain the slope. The analyzer then measures the electrical resistance of the blood sample to obtain the hematocrit value. The hematocrit value obtained is corrected for the concentration of the sodium ion.
Glucose measurement is based on the level of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}_2$ produced during the enzymatic reaction between glucose and oxygen molecules in the presence of the glucose oxidase enzyme. At a constant potential of 0.70 volts, electroactive $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}_2$ is oxidized at the surface of the platinum anode. The current generated by the flow of electrons at the surface of the platinum electrode is proportional to the glucose concentration of the sample.
Lactate measurement is based on the level of $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}_2$ produced during the enzymatic reaction between lactate and oxygen molecules in the presence of the lactate oxidase enzyme. At a constant potential of 0.70 volts, electroactive $\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}_2$ is oxidized at the surface of the platinum anode. The current generated by the flow of electrons at the surface of the platinum electrode is proportional to the lactate concentration of the sample.
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Ionized Calcium, Ionized Magnesium: The parameters are measured by an Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) that selectively measures the activity of ionic species. When the ISE is contacted with a sample, potential is developed. The potential is proportional to the logarithm of the ionic activity and is measured versus a reference electrode.

iv. Within-Sample Imprecision - Capillary Mode Fingerstick (internal POC)
To assess within-sample imprecision, an internal capillary precision study was performed. Capillary whole blood was collected from thirty (30) consenting subjects via finger stick puncture into two (2) capillary tubes per donor and each pair was run on a single Stat Profile Prime Plus Analyzer by two (2) point-of-care (POC) operators. The results are summarized below:

identified and discarded whole blood specimens were transferred from a lithium heparin syringe to three capillary tubes by POC operators and tested in triplicate across five (5) days by one of twenty-seven (27) different POC operators. The results are summarized below:
| Analyte | Mean (GRAND) | Range Min | Range Max | SD (GRAND) | CV% (GRAND) |

1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
A method comparison study for capillary whole blood was performed at two external POC sites with 5 POC operators at site 1 and 4 POC operators at site 2 over a minimum of 20 days. Capillary blood samples were collected via finger-stick and analyzed in singlet on the Stat Profile Prime Plus in capillary mode and on the Stat Profile pHOx Ultra in capillary mode. Stat Profile Prime Plus test results were compared to the Stat Profile pHOx Ultra test results for each parameter. To span the reportable range for each analyte, <10% of total samples were contrived, transferred into capillary tubes and run in singlicate on the Stat Profile Prime Plus and Stat Profile pHOx Ultra. A least squares linear regression analysis of the samples was performed for contrived and native sample combined and native samples only. The results from both sites were similar and combined results are shown below for native and contrived samples.
Combined Sites (native and contrived samples)

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.
