The Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer System is indicated for use by healthcare professionals in clinical laboratory settings and for point-of-care usage for quantitative determination of Hematocrit, Oxygen Saturation, Total Hemoglobin, Oxygenhemoglobin, Carboxyhemoglobin, Methemoglobin, and Deoxyhemoglobin in heparinized arterial and venous whole blood. Hematocrit (Hct) measurements of the packed red blood cell volume are used to distinguish normal from abnormal states, such as anemia and erythrocytosis. Oxygen Saturation (sO₂) measurements are used to assess the oxygenation of the hemoglobin and the adequacy of tissue oxygenation in the evaluation of pulmonary function. Measurements are also used to diagnose and treat cyanosis. Total Hemoglobin (tHb) measurements are used in the evaluation of chronic and acute anemia as well as the oxygen transport capability of the hemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin (O₂Hb) measurements are used to assess pulmonary function in combination with Deoxyhemoglobin and are also used in the diagnosis and treatment of cyanosis. Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) measurements are used to determine if and to what level carbon monoxide has been inhaled by the patient. High levels of carbon monoxide can lead to tissue anoxia and death. Methemoglobin (MetHb) measurements are used to determine congenital methemoglobinemia or determine the ingestion of nitrates, chlorates, or any other drug or chemical that can cause methemoglobin formation. High levels of methemoglobin can lead to cyanosis and death. Deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) measurements are used to assess pulmonary function in combination with Oxygenhemoglobin.

IV Device/System Characteristics:
A Device Description:
The Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer System is a small automatic blood gas analyzer for laboratory and point of care setting. It consists of the analyzer, sensor cartridges, calibrator packs, auto-cartridge quality control packs (internal controls), ampiled quality control materials (external controls) and thermal paper for an onboard printer. Specimens may be identified by scanning a barcode or by manually entering the information via the touchscreen.
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) will also be 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, Na, Cl, K, iCa, iMg, Glu, tBil, Hct, tHb, sO₂, O₂Hb, COHb, MetHb, HHb
- Primary Sensor Card 2 reports the following analytes: pO₂, pCO₂, pH, Na, Cl, K, iCa, iMg, Glu, Hct, tHb, sO₂
B Principle of Operation:
Oxygen saturation (sO₂) represents the percent of hemoglobin bound to oxygen, expressed as a fraction of the amount of hemoglobin capable of binding to oxygen (oxyhemoglobin plus deoxyhemoglobin). As the level of SO₂ changes within a blood sample, the optical absorbance of the whole blood changes.
Hematocrit (Hct) is defined as the percentage of red blood cells to the total blood volume and is measured by the electrical resistance of the blood sample. The hematocrit value is corrected for the concentration of the sodium ion.
Total Hemoglobin (tHb) is measured by optical absorbance, and is the sum of all measured hemoglobin fractions expressed as the amount of hemoglobin in a specified volume of whole blood.
Oxyhemoglobin (O₂Hb) is measured by optical absorbance, and is the combined form of hemoglobin and oxygen.
Carboxyhemoglobin is measured by optical absorbance, and is the combined form of carbon monoxide and hemoglobin.
Methemoglobin is measured by optical absorbance, and is the form of hemoglobin in which the iron has been oxidized from the ferrous to the ferric state.

Deoxyhemoglobin is measured by optical absorbance, and is the form of hemoglobin that is not combined with oxygen but can easily uptake oxygen in the lungs.

## Total precision
A three site POC total precision study of the Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer for Hct, sO₂, tHb, O₂Hb, COHb, MetHb, and HHb was conducted using three levels of QC materials and one Stat Profile® Plus Analyzer System per site. For each run, each sample was run in duplicate each day for a total of 20 days for a total of 40 results per site. The results were analyzed per site for within-run precision (repeatability) and for total precision (combined within-run and run-to-run). All three POC sites produced similar results. Representative results from one site are summarized in the tables below:

## B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
The accuracy performance of the Stat Profile® Prime Plus Analyzer System for Hct, sO₂, tHb, O₂Hb, COHb, MetHb, and HHb was established with a method comparison study by assessing agreement with the predicate device. The method comparison studies were conducted at three POC sites: a Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, an Emergency Department, and a Respiratory Therapy Lab. Samples of lithium heparinized arterial and venous whole blood were analyzed in singlicate using three Stat Profile® Prime Plus analyzers (one at each site). Across all sites, specimen handling and analysis was performed by 65 POC operators over a period of 20 testing days. In order to cover the claimed measuring range for each analyte, less than 10% of samples for each analyte were altered. The results obtained by POC operators were compared to the results obtained by trained healthcare professionals from the same whole blood specimens testing with the predicate device. Each of the three sites produced similar method comparison data. Linear regression analysis for venous and arterial whole blood results with all POC sites combined is presented in the table below.
| Analyte | N | Range | Slope | Intercept | r |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hct (%) | 417 | 18 - 69 | 0.999 | 0.132 | 0.993 |
| sO2(%) | 398 | 30 - 100 | 1.008 | -0.966 | 0.998 |
| tHb (g/dL) | 416 | 5 - 24.2 | 1.004 | -0.006 | 0.992 |
| O2Hb (%) | 422 | 7.1 - 98.4 | 1.007 | -0.864 | 0.998 |
| COHb (%) | 425 | 0.3 - 50.5 | 1.002 | -0.001 | 0.999 |
| MetHb (%) | 437 | 0.3 - 56.7 | 1.004 | 0.001 | 0.999 |
| HHb (%) | 322 | 0.4 - 39.7 | 1.012 | 0.088 | 0.996 |

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.
