- 3. Indications for Use: The subject device is a manual blood pressure (BP) monitor, and requires the user to listen for Korotkoff sounds to determine systolic and diastolic pressure. Further, patients whose Korotkoff sounds are not clear or absent, such as children younger than 3 years of age, will not be suitable for the subject device. Pulse rate is also measured.
- 4. Product Description: This device can be used to measure blood pressure and pulse rate non-persistently using the Korotkoff sound method of measuring blood pressure in vitro. The user can measure the blood pressure using this device and cuff, stethoscope. Basically, it has the same function as a conventional mercury sphygmomanometer. However, instead of using harmful mercury to the human body, it displays the pressure on the LCD screen, so that the blood pressure can be measured harmlessly to the human body. In addition, using the 'Mark' function can conveniently display the systolic and diastolic pressures. And using its backlight, the user can measure blood pressure in the dark place. If air pressure exceeds 320mmHg, it will automatically exhaust quickly. If an emergency occurs during the measurement, pressing On/Off button will turn off the equipment and allow rapid exhaust. The device is for use by medical professional. The testing person supplies their own stethoscope, which is required for making the measurements. The measurement method is as follows.
1. BPBIO220/BPBIO210: Place the device on a sturdy table or the cart. For BPBIO220T/BPBIO210T: Assemble the stand and the device.
- 2. Sit properly in chair and place patient's arm at heart height.
- 3. Wind the cuff around the patient's arm.
- 4. Pressurize manually.
- 5. Depressurize manually and listen to the Korotkoff sound.

- 6. Summary of technological characteristics of the device compared to the predicate device. These blood pressure meters are intended to be used in measuring human systolic blood pressure using Korotkoff sounds. In addition to being able to manually measure (and store up to 5 measurements) this electronic version of the classical blood pressure meter can display pulse rate. The following FDA guidance was consulted in the design and testing of the device: Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Monitor Guidance MARCH 1997, Final.
- 7. Non-clinical testing: The proposed new models were tested and found to conform to the following international standards:
IEC 60601-1 :2005/AMD1:2012 Medical electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance FDA recognition 19-4
IEC 60601-1-2 [2014] Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance – Collateral standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements and tests FDA recognition 19-8
In additional to standards testing, we did bench testing to compare the proposed device results to the regular manual method of measuring blood pressure. InBody has implemented the bench testing procedure to determine the overall system accuracy of non-invasive sphygmomanometers with the intent to verity the overall accuracy of BPBIO210/220/210T/220T. 102 subjects were tested. The comparison results are as follows: InBody has compared the accuracy between mercury manometer using the stethoscope and the non-invasive sphygmomanometer, BPBIO210/220/210T/220T. We found and concluded that they are substantially equal to each other. The accuracy of the BPBIO210/220T which acquired from the clinical investigation implemented by InBody is respectively the systolic (Mean = 0mmHg, Std. Dev = 1.206mmHg), and the diastolic (Mean = 0mmHg, Std. Dev = 1.424mmHg). This testing was done in accordance with EN 1060-4. Non-invasive sphygmomanometers. Test procedures to determine the overall system accuracy of automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers. This is an international version of SP-10 which is referenced in the FDA Guidance.

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.
