Indications for Use
To assist users in the performance of effective CPR on a patient 8 years or older.
Device Story
PocketCPR is a portable CPR aid providing real-time feedback to users during cardiac arrest resuscitation, training, or practice. The device uses an internal accelerometer to measure chest wall movement during compressions. A microprocessor performs continuous analysis of these inputs to provide verbal and visual feedback on compression quality (depth and rate) and timing for ventilations. It operates in a 'Normal Operating Mode' (AHA 2010 guidelines) or a 'Silent Mode' for training. The device prompts the user to call for help, check responsiveness, and perform CPR. It features an orientation-sensing function that prompts 'Analysis Halted' if placed incorrectly on the patient's chest. The device provides a metronome for compression rate and LED indicators for compression quality ('Push Harder' vs 'Good Compressions'). By guiding the user to maintain proper compression depth and rate, the device aims to improve CPR quality, potentially increasing the likelihood of patient survival and neurological recovery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data on human patients provided. Evidence consists of bench testing (general safety, EMC, software performance, water ingress, vibration, sound levels), simulated use on a computerized manakin for data collection, usability studies, and biocompatibility testing of skin-contact materials.
Technological Characteristics
Accelerometer-based (Analog Devices ADXL322) sensing of chest wall movement; microprocessor-controlled; battery-operated; portable form factor; verbal and visual (LED) feedback; software-driven protocol based on 2010 AHA Guidelines; biocompatible skin-contact materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for users performing CPR on patients 8 years or older. No specific contraindications listed.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
CPR Aid device with feedback is a device that provides real-time feedback to the rescuer regarding the quality of CPR being delivered to the victim, and provides either audio and/or visual information to encourage the rescuer to continue the consistent application of effective manual CPR in accordance with current accepted CPR guidelines (to include, but not be limited to, parameters such as compression rate, compression depth, ventilation, recoil, instruction for one or multiple rescuers, etc.). These devices may also perform a coaching function to aid rescuers in the sequence of steps necessary to perform effective CPR on a victim.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(i) Nonclinical performance testing under simulated physiological or use conditions must demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the feedback to the user on specific compression rate, depth and/or respiration over the intended duration, and environment of use.
(ii) Labeling must include the clinical training, if needed, for the safe use of this device and information on the patient population for which the device has been demonstrated to be effective (including patient size and/or age limitations,

Date Summary Prepared: April 4, 2012
Device Name: PocketCPR® (Part #2132)
Classification Name: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Aid; Class III (21 CFR 870.5200)
Device Description: Effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), when administered quickly after the on-set of cardiac arrest, is effective at saving lives and enabling complete neurological recovery, especially when followed by early defibrillation.
The PocketCPR® was developed to provide users with real-time feedback during the administration of CPR, to assist CPR instructors during class exercises, and to provide CPR students with verbal instructions and feedback for at-home practice. When the PocketCPR is turned on, the default protocol being driven by the 2010 American Heart Association's (AHA) Guidelines, reminds the user to call for help. Once placed on the patient's chest and chest compressions have begun, PocketCPR generates a metronome at the recommended rate of chest compression, gives verbal and visual feedback on the quality of CPR being delivered and reminds the user to give two breaths after every 30 compressions. Measurement of actual chest wall movement is made by a state-of-the-art accelerometer micro-chip and microprocessor performing continuous analysis.
The predicate PocketCPR (2047) in K071321 is compliant to the AHA 2005 Guidelines while the proposed PocketCPR (2132) in this submission is compliant to the AHA 2010 Guidelines in the default "Normal Operating Mode" when tumed "On".

{1}------------------------------------------------
A plus "4" feature has been added to the Normal Operating Mode to address the caregiver that tums the unit "On", places the device on the patient's chest and commences directly into chest compressions. During the initial power-on protocol the device intuitively monitors for compression recognition of 1.2" or greater. The verbal prompt "Call for Help" will be dropped to allow advancement to the "Start CPR" prompt. This "+" feature will automatically go into chest compression assistance, same as predicate, giving instructions for "Push Harder" as needed and "Good Compressions" when done to correct depth. It also maintains communicating "Open Airway - Give Two Breaths" after each sequence of 30 compressions, same as predicate.
Another plus "+" in the proposed device is an additional guidance source to assist the caregiver in selecting proper orientation of the device when placed on a patient's chest. To best take advantage of the LED's visual cadence and prompting of one LED flashing for "Push Harder" and all four flashing for "Good Compressions" the proper or upright orientation of the device allows the caregiver maximum visual assistance. We have added a "Patient Side" label to the center of the bottom outer surface to direct the caregiver to apply that surface on the patient's chest. The device will also prompt "Analysis Halted" if improper orientation has occurred and will stay silent awaiting proper orientation, hence "Patient Side" label, which when proper orientation occurs the device will then prompt "Start CPR and proceed into CPR assistance sequences.
"Silent Mode" is an operational optional mode both in the predicate PocketCPR and the proposed in this submission for use in training sessions where multiple units are in-play.
# NORMAL OPERATING MODE
Start-Up
- 1. Power On the device by pressing the rubber power button on the side of PocketCPR (marked with a circle and vertical line in the middle).
- 2. Allow device to Power Up and perform its system checks.
- 3. Place device in the center of the chest as shown on label.
- 4. Follow the verbal prompts to:
- · "STAY CALM"
- · "CHECK RESPONSIVENESS"
- · "CALL FOR HELP"
- "OPEN AIRWAY" "+" .
- "CHECK BREATHING" "+" .
- "START CPR" .
- 5. Place the heel of one hand on the device and the second hand on top so both hands are overlapped.
- 6. Begin chest compressions, allow for "Full Release" on "UP" stroke.
- 7. In the Normal Operating Mode "+" feature, the verbal prompts identified with a "+" are over-ridden to advance into chest compression assistance earlier for those caregivers commencing directly into chest compressions.
{2}------------------------------------------------
- 8. Begin chest compressions, allow for "Full Release" on "UP" stroke.
- 9. After 18 seconds, representing 30 compressions, follow the verbal prompts to:
- "OPEN AIRWAY" .
- "GIVE TWO BREATHS" .
- 10. Continue CPR chest compressions following the metronome and light prompts to ensure proper depth and rate. Cycles of 30 compressions and 2 ventilations are recommended or continuous chest compressions if you are unwilling or unable to provide ventilations, or if an advanced airway has been secured.
#### SILENT MODE Start-Up
- 1. Power On the device by pressing and holding in the power button on the side of the device. After hearing the verbal prompt, "STAY CALM.", wait a full second before releasing the power button.
- 2. The device metronome will begin to flash, indicating that the device is ready for CPR to begin, allow for "Full Release" on "UP" stroke.
### Substantial Equivalence:
Part Number (P/N) 2132 for PocketCPR, which represents the version in this submission, is substantially equivalent to its predecessor, PocketCPR P/N 2047, cleared on 510/k) K071321. which incorporated the 2005 AHA Guidelines. The 2132 version of PocketCPR is programmed to meet the 2010 AHA Guidelines as the default mode.

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.
