Indications for Use
The Barco Demetra Analytics Toolkit is a non-invasive skin analysis system. The Barco Demetra Skin Parameter Maps Tool provides maps that show the relative location of blood and pigment. The Barco Demetra Skin Parameter Maps Tool is intended only to complement dermoscopy.
Device Story
Demetra Analytics Toolkit is a software application for analyzing dermoscopic images captured by the Barco Demetra BDEM-01 dermatoscope. It processes multispectral image sets to generate grayscale two-dimensional 'Skin Parameter Maps' visualizing blood and pigment patterns; 'Scatter Contrast Maps' highlight surface contours. Used in professional clinical environments by dermatologists/medical practitioners to complement standard dermoscopy. The software transforms multispectral input data using the Beer-Lambert principle to estimate skin parameters. Clinicians view these maps alongside standard dermoscopic images to assist in evaluating skin lesions, potentially aiding in the assessment of suspicious skin cancer lesions. The device does not provide a diagnosis but serves as an adjunctive visualization tool.
Clinical Evidence
Multiple clinical studies were conducted: 1) Retrospective reader study (n=28) with four dermatologists evaluating subjective ratings of skin parameter maps. 2) Comparative study (SIAscope vs. Demetra) evaluating signal contribution. 3) Prospective study (n=15) correlating maps with pathology H&E images. 4) Validation study (n=15) of skin structures. 5) Retrospective reader study (n=28) validating maps with/without liquid interface. Studies utilized subjective ratings and qualitative analysis to demonstrate clinical utility and safety.
Technological Characteristics
Software-only application; compatible with Barco Demetra BDEM-01 dermatoscope. Sensing principle: multispectral imaging using amber, deep red, green, cyan, blue, royal blue, far red, and red-orange LEDs. Analysis based on Beer-Lambert principle. Output: grayscale 2D maps. Regulatory class II.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by medical practitioners as a non-invasive skin analysis system to complement dermoscopy by providing maps showing relative blood and pigment locations in skin lesions.

| | Test performed | Result |
| | Software Verification<br>Testing | PASS |
| | Usability Engineering<br>Testing | PASS |
| | Design Validation, which<br>includes integration testing<br>with BDEM-01 device | |
| | The Demetra Analytics Toolkit software has a moderate level of concern. | |
| | Several clinical validation activities have been performed to support safety and<br>effectiveness of the device. This included: | |
| | - A retrospective clinical study "Clinical validation of Demetra Skin Parameter Maps".<br>This retrospective reader study was performed by four board certified<br>dermatologists from different sites in the USA. The selected dataset contains a mix<br>of 28 cases, representing various dermatology conditions for which a dermatologist<br>can use a dermatoscope during evaluation, with a focus on skin lesions suspicious<br>for skin cancer. For each of the cases, all readers provided a subjective rating of<br>the skin parameter maps corresponding to these cases. Statistical analysis was<br>performed on the collected ratings. In addition qualitative feedback from the readers<br>was also collected. | |
| | - A retrospective study "SIAScans vs. Barco Analytics Toolkit" performed by a board<br>certified dermatologist from OHSU Dermatology Clinic, Portland. This study<br>compared performance of the Barco skin parameter maps with performance of the<br>predicate device (Siascope) for a representative set of specific types of cases.<br>Contribution of 'other' signals to the maps (for both Siascope and Barco) was also<br>included in the performance comparison. | |
| | - A prospective clinical study performed by a board certified dermatologist from<br>Washington DC; and a dermato pathologist from Maryland. The study "Correlation<br>of structures visualized in the Skin Parameter Maps with pathology findings" directly<br>compared skin parameter maps with pathology H&E images for collected 15 cases.<br>Subjective rating as well as qualitative case analysis was performed. Statistical<br>analysis was performed on the collected ratings. | |
| | - A clinical study performed by a dermatologist from University Hospital Leuven in<br>Belgium. This study "Validation of skin structures imaged in the Skin Parameter<br>Maps" included 15 cases for which a dermatologist would typically use the skin<br>parameter maps. Subjective rating as well as qualitative case analysis was<br>performed. Statistical analysis was performed on the collected ratings. | |
| | - A clinical study performed at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany; and at a<br>dermatology practice in Oregon, USA. Four observers participated in this<br>retrospective reader study. 28 representative cases were collected from an existing<br>database. Purpose of this study was to validate the skin parameter maps, and more<br>specifically also to validate the device when used with and without liquid interface.<br>All observers provided subjective ratings for every case. Statistical analysis was<br>performed on the collected ratings. | |
| 10.<br>Conclusion | Demetra Analytics Toolkit was found to be as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device, due to the following reasons:<br>a) Device and predicate device have a similar intended use<br>b) The technological characteristics differences from the predicate device do not affect safety or effectiveness<br>c) Bench testing showed that the device has similar characteristics compared to the predicate device and did not reveal new issues of safety and performance. | |

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.
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.
