# ECG Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3-. 5-. or 12-lead ECG waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.
#### CPR Monitoring
The CPR monitoring function provides visual and audio feedback designed to encourage rescuers to perform chest compressions at the AHA/ERC recommended rate of 100 compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a minimum compression depth of at least 1.5 (3.8 cm) or 2.0 inches (5.0 cm), depending on the configuration, for adult patients.
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### External Transcutaneous Pacing
This product can be used for temporary external cardiac pacing in conscious or unconscious patients as an alternative to endocardial stimulation. The purposes of pacing include:
- · Resuscitation from standstill or bradycardia of any etiology:
- · As a standby when standstill or bradycardia might be expected:
- · Suppression of tachycardia.
- · Pediatric pacing.
#### Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of arterial pressure and heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the user. Measurements are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
#### Temperature Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal, esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
#### SpO2 Monitoring
The X Series pulse CO-oximeter, with Masimo Rainbow SET technology and the Rainbow series of sensors, is intended for use for continuous nonitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), and/or methemoglobin saturation (SpMet). The pulse CO-oximeter and accessories are indicated for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-tvpe facilities, or in mobile environments.
#### Respiration Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
#### CO2 Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to make continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath rate. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### Invasive Pressure Monitoring
The X Series is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contraindications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
#### 12-Lead Analysis
The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting ECG data, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The interpretations of ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use on adults (> 18 years of age).
#### Web Console
X Series Web Console functionality allows medical personnel to view physiological data available on a connected X Series device. Physiological data may include ECG, noninvasive blood pressure, SpO2/SpCO/SpMet, end-tidal carbon dioxide, respiration rate, invasive blood pressure, temperature, and Heart Rate. For each patient connected to an X Series, the X Series collects patient data, consolidates the data on an embedded web page that can be requested, through an Ethernet connection, by a web browser on a PC for display.
#### TBI Dashboard
X Series TBI Dashboard functionality creates an embedded web page that consolidates concurrently displayed data on the X Series for SBP (systolic blood pressure), SpO2, EtCO2 data and timer into graphical trend formats and a countdown timer for ventilations. The web page can be requested, through an Bluetooth connection, using a standard web browser on a viewing device for display.

ZOLL X Series
{7}------------------------------------------------
# Description:
The predicate X Series is a lightweight, portable device designed to be used by trained medical personnel who are familiar with vital signs monitoring and emergency cardiac care. As in its previously cleared configuration, the modified X Series combines the functions of a Semi-automatic (AED)/ manual defibrillator, external transcutaneous pacer and patient monitors (including ECG, SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, CO2, NIBP, IBP, temperature and respiration monitoring).
With the current application, we are proposing to revise the X Series communication processor software to create a web page with a graphical trend format and countdown timer for ventilations that consolidates the existing SBP (systolic blood pressure from the NIBP monitoring), SpO2, EtCO2 data and the timer on the display of the X Series. The access to this web page will be marketed as the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Dashboard. This TBI Dashboard assists the operator who is ventilating a patient to follow recommendations in the TBI guidelines. Through an encrypted and password protected communications protocol, a suitable separate device with touchscreen, web browser capability and Bluetooth communications can display the TBI Dashboard.
As described above, the proposed software change impacts only the communication aspects of the X Series device. Therapeutic and monitoring capabilities of the X Series device as cleared under K133269 have remained unchanged and are not impacted by the proposed change. The X Series therapeutic and monitoring functionality is entirely controlled by access directly through the X Series device, itself, and not through the TBI Dashboard. TBI Dashboard is intended to supplement and not replace any part of the device monitoring.
#### Indications for Use:
The X Series is intended for use by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic monitoring, vital sign assessment, emergency cardiac care, and the use of the X Series. The X Series is also intended for use by (or on the order of) physicians at the scene of an emergency or in a hospital emergency room, intensive care unit, cardiac care unit, or other similar areas of a hospital. The usage may be in an ambulance or at the scene of an emergency. It is also intended to be used during the transport of patients. The X Series will be used primarily on patients experiencing symptoms of cardiac arrest or in post trauma situation. It may also be used whenever it is required to monitor any of those functions that are included (as options) in the device. The X Series unit can be used on pediatric patients (as described in the following table) and on adult patients (21 years of age or older) with and without heart dysfunction.

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.
