The NBM-200MP is a portable Hemoglobin and oximetry monitor. It non-invasively monitors and displays Hemoglobin (Hb), estimated Hematocrit (Hct), functional saturation of arterial oxygen hemoglobin (SpO2), temporary occluded blood oxygen saturation (SoO2), pulse rate (PR) and plethysmogram waveform. For oximetry (SpO2/SoO2), the NBM-200MP permits continuous patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits, as well as visible and audible alarm signals. SoO2 is intended for use in low perfusion conditions and under any conditions that will cause poor signal quality. The NBM-200MP periodically displays Hemoglobin (Hb) and estimated Hematocrit (Hct) values and it can also be used for spot measurements. The monitor estimates Hct via a calculation based on the Hb measurement for normal hemoglobin values (i.e. 11 to 17 g/dl) only and abnormal values will not be displayed. It is intended for use by trained medical personnel, with adult individuals, in clinical and non-clinical settings (e.g. hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile environments, clinics, physician offices and ambulatory surgery centers).

- Rainbow SET Pronto Pulse Co-Oximeter (K091057) manufactured by Masimo Corp. SET Pronto is a pulse oximeter and hemoglobin monitor device, similar to the NBM-200MP pulse oximeter and hemoglobin monitor device.
- Rainbow SET RadCheck Pulse Co-Oximeter (K082052) manufactured by Masimo corp. RadCheck is a pulse oximeter and hemoglobin monitor device, similar to the NBM-200MP pulse oximeter and hemoglobin monitor device.
- Pulse Co-Oximeter (K100428) Rainbow SET Radical 7R manufactured by Masimo corp. Radical 7R is a pulse oximeter and hemoglobin monitor device, similar to the NBM-200MP pulse oximeter and hemoglobin monitor device.
- OrSense NBM-200MP device is a pulse oximetry and hemoglobin Device Description: monitoring device, measuring SpO2, pulse rate, hemoglobin and estimated Hematocrit. In addition to a regular operating mode, it also includes an "occlusion spectroscopy" mode, which is activated during i low-perfusion conditions for oximetry (SoO2) and for Hb measurements. The sensor probe pneumatic cuff is placed around a
{2}------------------------------------------------
finger and briefly inflates and deflates; the resulting changes in blood optical behavior within the finger are measured and analyzed to provide accurate measurements of SoO2 during low-perfusion conditions and Hemoglobin values at predetermined time intervals. The monitor should not be used under any circumstances as a substitute for an approved lab blood analyzer.
### Intended Use / Indication for Use:
The NBM-200MP is a portable Hemoglobin and oximetry monitor. It non-invasively monitors and displays Hemoglobin (Hb), estimated Hematocrit (Hct), functional saturation of arterial oxygen hemoglobin (SpO2), temporary occluded blood oxygen saturation (SoO2), pulse rate (PR) and plethysmogram waveform.
For oximetry (SpO2/SoO2), the NBM-200MP permits continuous patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits, as well as visible and audible alarm signals. SoO2 is intended for use in low perfusion conditions and under any conditions that will cause poor signal quality.
The NBM-200MP periodically displays Hemoglobin (Hb) and estimated Hematocrit (Hct) values and it can also be used for spot measurements. The monitor estimates Het via a calculation based on the Hb measurement for normal hemoglobin values (i.e. 11 to 17 g/dl) only and abnormal values will not be displayed. It is intended for use by trained medical personnel, with adult individuals, in clinical and non-clinical settings (e.g. hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile environments, clinics, physician offices and ambulatory surgery centers).
{3}------------------------------------------------
#### Technological Characteristics
The new OrSense NBM-200MP Pulse Oximeter and hemoglobin Monitoring device has the same basic technological characteristics as the predicate devices. All the devices consist of a microprocessor controlled portable monitor base unit and a cable-connected finger attached sensor. The new device is identical in hardware to the original NBM-200MP device (K091564), and they both use an inflatable cuff inside the sensor housing employing pneumatic tissue manipulation.
The measurement, as common for all pulse oximetry devices. is a function of how the light wavelength is absorbed and scattered. The sensor consists of the light source (red and infrared LEDs), and the photodetector, an electronic device that produces an electrical current proportional to incident light intensity.
The new device includes the parameters of the original NBM-200MP: SpO2. SoO2 and pulse rate, and adds a periodic or spot measurement of hemoglobin concentration and estimated Hematocrit. Similarly, the Masimo predicate devices measure SpO2, pulse rate and total hemoglobin concentration (SpHb) and the Radical 7R (K100428) calculates and displays hematocrit (SpHct). The Rad 571 (K080238) and Radical 7R devices perform continuous measurements of SpHb while the RadCheck (K082052) and Pronto (K091057) devices perform spot-check measurements.
The oximetry measurement procedure is identical to that of the original NBM-200MP.
The Hb values are derived from the signals generated by the *occlusion spectroscopy' procedure and Hct values are estimated from the Hb values.

# NBM-200MP Clinical Trial Sites
{6}------------------------------------------------
For the accuracy studies at the Israeli sites 1-3, testing consisted of two non-invasive Hb measurements with the NBM-200MP. Results were compared to routine Hb measurements from an automated blood analyzer (Coulter LH750) using venous whole blood samples. For the reproducibility study, 33 subjects were tested at site 3 (Sheba MC) 3 times on two fingers by 3 operators and with 3 NBM units.
The study population was comprised of 82% Caucasian, 12% Hispanic, 5.5% African or African-American and 0.5% Asian or Mediterranean.
In the supplemental study (site 4) the variability of measured Hb during a 2-hour period was tested in resting, healthy, young volunteers. A second protocol for the study performed in 12 of the subjects included a hemodilution procedure to demonstrate the continuous operation of NBM over a wide dynamic range of Hb values. At this site a Radiometer OSM3 was used for reference.
## Overall results in the Hb study:
- Mean difference (bias) of -0.13 g/dl ﻦ
- జ Standard deviation of the difference: 0.96 g/dl
- Root mean square error (RMSE): 0.97 g/dL ৩
- ר 95% limits of agreement: [-2.01. 1.76 g/d]]
- Reproducibility SD of the NBM is 0.5 g/dl; the CV is 4.2%. い
Clinical data were collected to assess the Hb accuracy over the range of 6.5 to 17.1 g/dl. For simplicity reasons, we specified the measurement range of the device as 7 to 17 g/dl.
No adverse events or subject discontinuation related to the use of the NBM-200MP were reported during the multi-center studies.
{7}------------------------------------------------
# Oximetry study (K091564):
A clinical study of induced hypoxia in consenting healthy individuals was performed to validate SpO2 and SoO2 accuracy in comparison to reference measurements of blood SaO2 by a cooximeter. The study was performed in compliance with the requirements of ISO9919:(2005) Standard. The device was tested on 10 healthy individuals.
Results:
- In the NBM-200MP pulse mode, based on 388 pairs of data points, the error (rms) . obtained was 2.5%, with 0.95 correlation and 0.2% bias.
- In the occlusion mode there were 438 data pairs, with 2.2% error, 0.96 correlation . and 0.05% bias.
No adverse events were reported.
# Substantial Equivalence:
The NBM-200MP pulse oximeter device is similar to currently distributed pulse oximeter devices intended for measurement and monitoring of SpO2, Hb and pulse rate.
Conclusions: The conclusions drawn from the above Performance Testing and comparison to predicate devices is that the NBM-200MP pulse oximetry and hemoglobin monitoring device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above.

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.
