Neumetry Medical, Inc.
Retrospective clinical polysomnography (PSG) files from AASM-accredited sleep testing facilities
Retrospective clinical data was used to validate the performance of the SomnoMetry AI/ML algorithms for sleep staging and sleep apnea diagnosis by comparing automated results against manual clinical scoring.
SomnoMetry is intended for use for the diagnostic evaluation by a physician to assess sleep quality and as an aid for the diagnosis of sleep and respiratory-related sleep disorders in adults only. SomnoMetry is a software-only medical device to be used to analyze physiological signals and automatically score sleep study results, including the staging of sleep, AHI, and detection of sleep-disordered breathing events including obstructive apneas. It is intended to be used under the supervision of a clinician in a clinical environment. All automatically scored events are subject to verification by a qualified clinician.
Device Story
SomnoMetry is an AI/ML-enabled SaMD that analyzes pre-recorded polysomnography (PSG) signals to automatically score sleep studies. Input consists of PSG files uploaded via a web API; the system uses signal processing, conventional machine learning, and deep learning to stage sleep, calculate AHI, and detect sleep-disordered breathing (e.g., obstructive apneas). Output is stored in a database and presented via a dashboard for clinician review, editing, and verification. Used in clinical environments by physicians to assist in diagnostic decision-making. Benefits include automated scoring efficiency and support for sleep disorder diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Retrospective clinical study using 201 adult PSG files from 2 AASM-accredited facilities. Evaluated sleep staging and sleep apnea diagnosis (AHI thresholds 5, 15, 30). Performance compared against manual scoring (gold standard) and predicate device. Results demonstrated high agreement (e.g., PA 90.6%, NA 92.2% for AHI > 5) and no statistically significant differences compared to the predicate device across all endpoints, including subgroup analysis for age <65 and >65.
Technological Characteristics
Web-based SaMD operating in the cloud; compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Employs signal processing, data indexing, conventional ML, and deep learning algorithms. Cybersecurity includes SSL encryption, user authentication, access controls, and intrusion prevention. Complies with IEC 62304 (software lifecycle) and ISO 14971 (risk management).
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic evaluation of sleep quality and as an aid in diagnosing sleep and respiratory-related sleep disorders in adults. Used under clinician supervision in clinical environments. All automated scoring requires clinician verification.

accordance with "IEC 62304:2006/A1:2015, Medical Device Software – Software life cycle processes". Risk has been assessed in accordance with "ISO 14971:2007, Medical Devices -Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices". During software testing, all pre-defined acceptance criteria for the SomnoMetry were met and all software test cases passed. The same verification and validation methodology, risk assessment and acceptance criterion were used for predicate device.
# Retrospective Clinical Performance Testing - Clinical Evaluation
The clinical evaluation was provided in this submission in accordance with "Software as a Medical Device (SaMD): Clinical Evaluation - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" (December 2017). The clinical evaluation included a total of 201 polysomnography (PSG) files obtained from 2 AASM accredited Sleep Testing Facilities in California as the ground truths to validate the SomnoMetry AI/ML algorithms.
An archived collection of retrospective diagnostic clinical PSG subject data was obtained from the 2 AASM Accredited Sleep Testing Facilities and were verified to meet the specified disease spectrum, medical condition, medication, and demographic requirements.
To construct the final study sample from the archived collection population, a randomized sampling with proportionate allocation across each sleep apnea disease severity quantile (normative, mild, moderate, and severe sleep apnea) and sleep cycles was used to construct a valid sample of N=201 adult subjects. Age of subjects from 20 to 84 was selected. No race/ethnicity information was collected in either AASM Accredited Sleep Test Facility.
SomnoMetry SaMD performance was evaluated across the following 2 experimental endpoints:
- . Endpoint 1: As SomnoMetry is intended to assist clinicians with the assessment of sleep quality, therefore device performance for sleep staging scoring must be validated.
- Endpoint 2: As SomnoMetry is intended to assist clinicians with scoring sleep disordered . respiratory events used in diagnostic evaluation, therefore device performance for diagnosing sleep apnea must be validated.
Table 2 confusion matrix with conditional probabilities shows that the performance of SomnoMetry is non-inferior compared to AASM gold standard of manually scored PSG data. The results confirm that clinical performance achieved by the SomnoMetry for sleep staging is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Table 3a and Table 3b show that there is no significant difference between the two subgroups. The subgroup performance matrixes demonstrated the generalizability of the SomnoMetry AI algorithm.
In the retrospective diagnostic clinical study, the final study results and statistical analysis were reported for each endpoint. The subject SomnoMetry SaMD performance showed no statistically significant differences from the predicate device performance. The results confirm that the clinical performance delivered by SomnoMetry is substantially equivalent to the predicate device across all endpoints evaluated.
The results of the software and performance testing validate that the SomnoMetry meets its requirements, performs as intended, and is as safe and effective as the predicate device. No new or different questions of safety or effectiveness have been raised.

# 8. Conclusion
The SomnoMetry is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The SomnoMetry has the same intended use and the indications for use fall within the scope of that for the predicate device. Many of the technological characteristics are the same for the subject and predicate devices. Any differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices have been addressed through software verification/validation testing and performance testing and do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Based upon the results of the software verification and validation testing, and a clinical evaluation process consisting of valid clinical association identification, analytical validation, and clinical validation, it was determined the SomnoMetry was substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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.
