### Device Description Summary
The ActiGraph LEAP™ is a wrist-worn wearable device intended to continuously record high resolution digital acceleration data associated with a patient's physical movement. In practice, a healthcare professional or researcher can prescribe the device to collect physiological data from patients in applications where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable. Having physical characteristics like those of an electronic wristwatch, the device is set to collect data by the healthcare professional then placed on the subject's wrist. The device is designed to be worn during normal activities and/or during sleep over a period of days to weeks. The patient does not need to interact with the device to control the operation or data collection. The data stored on the device can be downloaded via USB or Bluetooth Low Energy and made accessible to healthcare professionals or researchers for further analysis.
The ActiGraph LEAP™ device will be supported by accessories for recharging the battery and transferring data from the device. A USB Charging Dock with a three-foot USB A cable for both charging and data transfer to a PC using the supplied communication software. The USB Charging Dock connects to the recessed electrical contacts on the back of the device. An off-the-shelf international Wall Mount AC Adapter is also supplied for optional wall charging. The USB Charging Dock can be plugged into the Wall Mount AC Adapter's USB A port for charging the device.
The device uses a high-resolution digital accelerometer to accurately measure linear accelerations in 3axes associated with the patient's physical movement. The accelerometer technology is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) implemented as an integrated circuit. The accelerometer data is converted to a digital representation on the MEMS accelerometer and then recorded, with timestamp, to the device's on-board memory. The memory is an 8 Gb serial NAND flash capable of storing 30 days of

### Special 510(k) Summary K231532
accelerometer data under the default operating mode. The sample rate of the accelerometer is configurable at the following rates: 32Hz, 64Hz, 128 Hz and 256Hz.
The LCD display indicates the battery level, current functional state of the device, and date and time. The device has a 30-day battery life under the default operating mode and can be charged using the USB Charging Dock accessory. The display does not provide feedback to the wearer/patient regarding data measures. There is a simple button on the side used to turn on the display so the wearer can read the date/time and button presses are recorded in the log.
The device firmware executes on internal processors to control the device operations, display, and external communication protocols. The accelerometer sensor data can be downloaded from the device either via USB (using the dock) or via Bluetooth Low Energy.
### Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ActiGraph LEAP™ is a small wrist-worn activity monitor designed for documenting physical movement associated with applications in physiological monitoring. The device is intended to monitor the activity associated with movement during sleep. The ActiGraph LEAP™ can be used to analyze circadian rhythms and assess activity in any instance where quantifiable analysis of physical motion is desirable.
### Indications for Use Comparison with the Predicate(s)
The subject device has the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate device CentrePoint Insight Watch (K181077).
### Technological Comparison with the Predicate(s)
The following physical and technological characteristics are changes from the predicate device:
- . The geometric outline dimensions of the device have changed for aesthetic purposes. The device body has a smaller area, mostly due to the height change from 50.1 mm to 39 mm and the device is thicker by 1.8 mm. These changes do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
- . The device enclosure materials have been updated to modern compositions used in similar wearable devices. The materials will have contact with intact skin for durations which may exceed 24 hours; therefore, they have been evaluated for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation as applicable per the FDA Guidance Document on biocompatibility and the use of the ISO 10993-1 standard. This difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The methods and results of the biocompatibility testing demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate.
A subject-predicate comparison is provided as Table 1 to demonstrate substantial equivalence in a tabular format.

### Special 510(k) Summary K231532
### Non-Clinical Test Summary & Conclusions
The device enclosure, dimensions, and materials have been updated to modern compositions used in similar wearable devices. The materials are intended to have contact with intact skin for durations which may exceed 24 hours; therefore, they have been evaluated for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation per the FDA guidance on biocompatibility and the use of the ISO 10993-1 standard. Clinical testing is not applicable to this submission.
The following technological characteristics of the device are the predicate (cleared with the predicate device):
- . The principle of operation is the same. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer is used to measure movement.
- . The accelerometer data is converted to a digital representation on the MEMS accelerometer and then recorded, with timestamp, to the device's non-volatile memory.
- . The LCD display on the subject device indicates the battery level, the current functional state of the device, and date and time. This is the same as predicate device.
- . The LCD display on the subject device does not provide feedback to the wearer/patient regarding data measures. This is the same as predicate device.
- The power source is the same as the predicate device, a rechargeable lithium battery.
- The physical characteristics are the same, a wrist-worn device, like an electronic watch.
- . Data stored on the device can be downloaded via USB or Bluetooth Low Energy.
- . The software has not changed
The methods and results demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate (K181077), as this difference in material does not raise different or new questions of safety and effectiveness. The tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate (K181077). Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
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.
