#### Clinical and Bench Testing
#### Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
For NIBP performance, Critikon used ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992: "Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers" and ANSI/AAMI SP10A-1996: Amendment to ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992: American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
The following requirements of ANSI/AAMI SP10 and SP10A were met:
- . Labeling (4.1)
- Stability (4.2.4, environmental requirements, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, and 4.2.3 were not included) .
- . Safety (4.3)
- . Performance (4.4)
To evaluate environmental performance, Critikon met the requirements contained in the November 1993 Draft Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions of the Anesthesiology and Respiratory Devices Branch of the Division of Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Neurological Devices.
#### Clinical Study for Accuracy - Overall System Efficacy:
Accuracy of the NIBP algorithm was established in the adult, pediatric, and neonatal populations with the ANSI/AAMI SP10 clinical study for the DINAMAP MPS Select NIBP Module used in the DINAMAP MPS Select Multiparameter System and the DINAMAP MPS Select Portable Monitor (K955113 cleared 8/15/96).
The NIBP parameter of the new monitor has the same NIBP algorithm that calculates blood pressure from measured oscillations as the DINAMAP MPS™ Select™ Multiparameter System (K955) 13 cleared 815/96); the DINAMAP MPS™ Select™ Portable Monitor (K971569 cleared 9/19/97); and the DINAMAP® Compact Monitor (K970182 cleared 8/18/97),
Moreover, the NIBP parameter of the new monitor has the same intended use and labeling claims as the DINAMAP MPS Select NIBP Module; the same software runs in the same processor family under the same operating system as the predicate device; and the same accessories - air hoses and blood pressure cuffs.
#### Bench Testing, ANSI/AAMI SP10
With the exception of the environmental performance, the new device was subjected to the remainder of ANSI/AAMI SP 10 bench testing requirements, including:
- . Stability: 4.2.4.1 Voltage Range; and 4.2.4.2 Life
- . Safety Requirements: 4.3.1.1 Maximum Cuff Pressure; 4.3.1.2. Cuff Deflation; 4.3.2 Electrical Safety; and 4.3.3 Conductive Components
- . Performance Requirements: 4.4.1 Pressure Indicator Accuracy; and 4.4.3 Battery-Powered Devices.
The new device passed all tests.

## Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
Nellcor Puritan Bennett, Inc. (NPB) conducted studies (two clinical and three bench) to demonstrate the accuracy of the pulse oximetry parameter to the new device with Nellcor FE101 hardware, BE3050 software and the Nellcor sensor line.
### Clinical Studies
Two clinical studies were performed to evaluate the accuracy of the new device's derived oxygen.
- Co-Oximeter Correlation Study -- compared oxygen saturation measurements obtained with three new devices with . arterial blood oxygen saturation co-oximeter measurements obtained from three healthy subjects. Breathedown progressed in five plateaus from 100% to 70% in increments of approximately 5%. After data collection at the lowest plateau was complete, the subjects were rapidly re-saturated to 100%. Pooled results for all three subjects indicated that the three new devices met sensor specifications.
- . Non-Invasive Controlled Hypoxia Study - compared oxygen saturation measurements obtained with three new devices with arterial blood oxygen saturation pulse oximeter measurements obtained from 35 subjects across the full Nellcor sensor line.
The oxygen saturation parameter of the new devices met oxygen saturation with all Nellor sensors.
#### Bench Testing
The following three bench tests were performed:
- . Saturation Comparison Verification Study
- Low Perfusion/Low Signal Saturation Study .
- . Pulse Rate Comparison Study
In all cases the new devices met the acceptance criteria
#### Temperature
Temperature tests performed were:
- To establish monitor mode or probe accuracy, liquid-bath testing according to ASTM E 1112 86 (Reapproved 1991); . Standard Specification for Electronic Thermittent Determination of Patient Temperature was followed.
- . To establish predictive mode accuracy; liquid-bath testing was conducted to establish equivalence between the new device and the Alaris Medical Systems IVAC® 2080 Measurement according to a Critikon-developed procedure.
#### Bench Testing
To determine clinical accuracy, Critikon conducted an in-house study comparing temperatures obtained from 78 subjects using the new device and a mercury-in-glass thermometer. The ability of two new devices to accurately read resistance was confirmed before and after liquid-bath testing. Four probes were then tested with the two new devices over the operational temperature range - both in monitor and predictive modes. Test results demonstrated the ability of the new device to determine monitor mode temperatures relative to a mercury-in-glass thermometer and predictive mode temperatures relative to an IVAC 2080 Measurement System within the maximum error ranges specified in Table 1 of ASTM E 1112 - 86 (Reapproved 1991).
#### Clinical Studies
Temperature data was collected orally from 78 adult and pediative temperature was obtained from the test device and compared to a reference mercury-in-glass thermometer temperature reading collected over a three-minute period. A clinically significant difference was defined as a mean difference > 1.0 F. Data analysis showed a mean difference of 0.13ºF, with a S.D. of 0.31 - well within acceptance criteria of 2.0ºF.

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.
