The Mercy babyTAPE device is intended for use by health care professionals to estimate the body weight of infants between the ages of 0 days (birth) and 90 days, using circumferential measurements from specific anatomical landmarks made with the Mercy babyTAPE device for head and chest circumference. Head: place the Mercy babyTAPE across the frontal bones, slightly above eyebrows and ears, over the occipital prominence, perpendicular to the long axis of the face. Chest: place the Mercy babyTAPE around the upper torso, passing under the xyphoid process at the level of the nipple. Measure at end-exhalation.
Device Story
Mercy babyTAPE is a flexible, manual measuring tape used by healthcare professionals to estimate infant body weight. The device features two sides: one yellow for head circumference and one blue for chest circumference. The tape is marked with numbered bins corresponding to a validated weight estimation algorithm. The clinician wraps the tape around the infant's head (across frontal bones, above eyebrows/ears, over occipital prominence) and chest (under axilla, at nipple level, at end-exhalation). The clinician reads the values from the tape markings and sums them to determine the estimated weight. This indirect weight estimation provides a clinical tool for infants where direct weighing may be difficult or unavailable. The device is disposable and intended for single-patient use.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated in study TAP02 (n=2097 infants). The algorithm was developed using 1681 infants and validated in 416. Head and chest circumference measurements showed high correlation with weight (r=0.89) and reproducibility (ICC >0.98). The device predicted weight within 10% of actual for 86% of infants and within 15% for 99% of infants. Mean error was -69 ± 257 grams (-1.3 ± 6.9%). No bias observed for postnatal age (p=0.76), gestational age (p=0.10), or sex (p=0.25).
Technological Characteristics
Flexible strip of paper, coated paper, fabric, or plastic tape. Printed on both sides with color-coded (yellow/blue) measurement scales and numbered bins. Non-powered, manual, disposable, single-patient use. Operates via indirect anthropometric weight estimation algorithm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infants aged 0 days (birth) to 90 days to estimate body weight via head and chest circumference measurements.

## 7.0 Performance Evaluation - Clinical Testing
#### 7.1 Introduction
A predictive performance study was performed to compare the baby TAPE device predicted weights with weight measured on a calibrated scale. This clinical study evaluated the predictive performance of the Mercy babyTAPE device relative to the underlying Mercy babyTAPE method algorithm and to actual measured body weights.
The Mercy babyTAPE method algorithm was developed using demographic and anthropometric data from study TAP02.Weight estimation is performed using an algorithm that is unique to the Mercy babyTAPE device but similar to the algorithm1 used for the predicate Mercy TAPE device (2D and 3D Models). Both devices estimate weight using anthropometric surface measurements.
#### 7.2 Deriving the algorithm used to develop the babyTAPE - Study TAP02
Study NICHD-2014-TAP02 obtained anthropometric data to allow the Mercy TAPE 2D and 3D to be modified for weight estimation in newborns and young infants. Circumferential and segmental anthropometric measures were evaluated for their relationship to infant weight and length. This study enrolled 2097 infants at 8 sites. Population growth curves were generated for humeral, ulnar, femoral, tibial, and fibular lengths; mid upper arm, mid-thigh, chest, abdominal, and neck circumferences.
The final anthropometric variables selected were the combination of head circumference and chest circumference as described below (Abdel-Rahman'):
'Data [was] derived from 2097 US infants (n = 1681 for model development, n = 416 for validation). Statistical and practical considerations informed final measurement selection. Head circumference and chest circumference demonstrated the best correlations with weight (r = 0.89) and length (r = 0.94 and 0.93), and were among the most reproducible as reflected by intraclass correlation coefficients (>0.98). The head circumference and chest circumference combination offered better goodness-of-fit and smaller limits of agreement than did either measure alone. The final model predicted weight within 10% and 15% of actual for 84% and 94% of infants, respectively, with no bias for postnatal age (P = . 76), gestational age (P = . 10), and sex (P = . 25)'

The 2097 infants represented those that were small, appropriate, and large for gestational age. As illustrated below, both preterm and full-term infants represented a broad range of length, weight, and head circumference values with z-scores spanning more than 8 standard deviations (i.e. <-4 to >+4).
Image /page/8/Figure/3 description: The image shows three histograms comparing the frequency of length, weight, and head circumference to the z-score. The histograms are all unimodal and centered around -1. The y-axis of each histogram is labeled "Frequency" and ranges from 0 to 120. The x-axis of each histogram is labeled "z-score" and ranges from -5 to 5.

There was substantial correlation between the infants' actual weight and the babyTAPE device predicted weight. The regression slope was 0.96 (95% CI 0.94, 0.98) with an intercept of 0.08 (95% CI 0.03, 0.12). Exploring the magnitude of this deviation reveals a mean error of -69 ± 257 grams corresponding to a mean percentage error of -1.3 ± 6.9%. There was also a strong correlation between the infants' actual weight and the reference measuring tape estimated weight using the method from which the babyTAPE device was developed. For this regression the slope was 0.95 (95% CI 0.93, 0.96), the intercept 0.11 (95%CI 0.07, 0.16), the mean error -66 ± 249 grams, and the mean percentage error -1.1 ± 7.1%. The fraction of infants in whom the babyTAPE device predicted weight within 10% and 15% of actual weight was 0.86 and 0.99, respectively (CCC of 0.98).

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.
