Indications for Use
The WatchPAT ONE (WP1) device is a noninvasive home care device for use with patients suspected to have sleep related breathing disorders. The WP1 is a diagnostic aid for the detection of sleep related breathing disorders, sleep staging (Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep, Light Sleep, Deep Sleep and Wake), snoring level and body position. The WP1 generates a peripheral arterial tonometry ("PAT") Respiratory Disturbance Index ("PRDI"), Apnea- Hypopnea index ("PAHI"), Central Apnea-Hypopnea index ("PAHIC"), PAT sleep staging identification (PSTAGES) and optional snoring level and body position discrete states from an external integrated snoring and body position sensor. The WP1's PSTAGES and snoring level and body position provide supplemental information to its PRD/PAHI/PAHIc. The WP1's PSTAGES and snoring level and body position are not intended to be used as the sole or primary basis for diagnosing any sleep related breathing disorder, prescribing treatment, or determining whether additional diagnostic assessment is warranted. PAHIc is indicated for use in patients 17 years and older. All other parameters are indicated for 12 years and older.
Device Story
WatchPAT ONE (WP1) is a non-invasive, patient-worn home diagnostic aid for sleep-related breathing disorders. Inputs include PAT signals and blood oxygen saturation from a finger-mounted uPAT probe, wrist motion from an embedded actigraph, and optional chest movement/snoring data. A microprocessor records these signals; offline software analyzes data to generate respiratory indices (PRDI, PAHI, PAHIc), sleep staging (PSTAGES), snoring levels, and body position. The device now includes an arrhythmia flagging feature (inherited from predicate WP300) that identifies suspected Atrial Fibrillation and premature beats using PPG signal analysis. The arrhythmia output is for informational use only, intended to assist physicians in determining if further cardiac investigation is required; it is not a diagnostic tool for arrhythmia. The device is used at home by the patient; data is analyzed by a physician to aid clinical decision-making regarding sleep disorders and potential cardiac follow-up.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing confirmed that the WP1 acquisition system (PAT and actigraphy) generates input signals equivalent to the predicate WP300, validating the performance of the integrated arrhythmia software algorithm.
Technological Characteristics
Ventilatory effort recorder utilizing Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) signal. Components: wrist-worn control unit with embedded actigraphy, uPAT finger probe (optical plethysmography), and optional chest sensor. Power: 1.5V Alkaline AAA battery. Connectivity: offline software analysis. Software: includes arrhythmia flagging algorithm (PPG-based) for Atrial Fibrillation and premature beats.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients 12 years and older suspected of sleep-related breathing disorders; PAHIc parameter indicated for patients 17 years and older.

The WP1's PSTAGES and snoring level and body position are not intended to be used as the sole or primary basis for diagnosing any sleep related breathing disorder, prescribing treatment, or determining whether additional diagnostic assessment is warranted.
PAHIc is indicated for use in patients 17 years and older. All other parameters are indicated for 12 years and older.
### Device Description
The subject WatchPAT ONE (WP1) has the same intended use and indications for use as the cleared predicate WP300 (K222331) and the cleared reference WP1 (K183559). The subject WP1 combines the software arrhythmia feature of the WP300 cleared predicate (K222331) into the WP1 cleared reference (K183559).
The subject WP1 consists of: A wrist worn Control Unit, Actigraphy (in the Control Unit), Wrist Strap, Power Supply (battery), uPAT probe, Chest sensor (optional), Management and Analysis Software (SW) and mobile application.
The subject WP1, like the predicate WP300 and reference WP1, uses the same Management and Analysis Software (SW). The arrhythmia feature is to be used for informational use only, to flaq patients suspected of having arrhythmias, thereby aiding the physician to decide if further arrhythmia investigation is needed. The device is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device for cardiac arrhythmia and it is not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis. The arrhythmia detection is not intended for use in life supporting or sustaining systems or monitor and alarm devices. It provides the sleep physician with additional information to that of the WP1 cleared capabilities of detecting sleep disorders, to be considered in conjunction with the physician's knowledge of patient background, clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information.
# Technological Characteristics
The subject WP1 has the same technological characteristics as the predicate WP300 and the reference WP1 to which it has been modified.
Identically to WP300 and WP1, the subject WP1 device is a ventilatory effort recorder that utilizes Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) signal. It is a patient-worn device used at home for aiding in the diagnosis of sleep related breathing disorders based on the PAT signal. In all 3 systems, the controller part of the device is worn on the wrist and records the PAT signal and blood oxygen saturation levels in the distal part of the finger-mounted probe based on an optical plethysmographic method, and the wrist motion from an embedded actigraphy.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The following report output information is provided by the cleared WP300, cleared WP1, and the subject WP1 using the same offline SW and algorithms that analyze recorded data to present respiratory disturbance index (pRDI), Apnea Hypopnea Index (pAHI), Central Apnea Hypopnea Index (pAHIc), sleep stages (pSTAGES - REM Sleep, Light Sleep, Deep Sleep, Wake), snoring level and body position discrete states. The new arrhythmia information in the subject WP1's report is identical to the one in the cleared predicate WP300.
The subject WP1, identically to both the predicate and the reference device, consists of the same components: (1) unified PAT probe (uPAT) is used to measure the PAT and oximetry signals: (2) an embedded actigraph which provides a signal that is used to determine periods of sleep/wake based on the motion of the wrist; (3) Electronics, which include a microprocessor that records the information supplied by the uPAT finger probe, actigraph and chest movement; and (4) chest sensor (SBP/RESBP sensors same as in the predicates).
The SW characteristics of the subject WP1 and the reference WP1 are the same except for the newly added SW algorithm that was cleared for use in the predicate WP300 (K222331) to identify or 'flag' the patient for further arrhythmia investigation (Atrial Fibrillation and Premature Beats). This additional SW algorithm is the proposed modification to the subject WP1.
The HW of the subject WP1 is the same as the HW of the reference WP1 (K183559). Further, the HW of the WP1 was designed to provide identical signals to that of the predicate WP300. The differences in HW between the WP1 and the WP300 devices have been thoroughly discussed and found to be substantially equivalent in K183559.
The cleared arrhythmia SW algorithm from the predicate WP300 added to the subject WP1 does not alter the technological characteristics of the device or its principles of operation.
# Performance Data
SW Design verification was performed on the subject WP1 device with the SW containing the additional arrhythmia feature. The testing and acceptance criteria are the same as those in the predicate WP300 and reference WP1 devices. Bench testing was previously conducted on the reference WP1 (K183559) to show that the acquisition system of the WP1 and WP300 generate equivalent input signals to the analysis algorithms. Specifically, the equivalence of the PAT and the actigraphy signals which are used in the newly added arrhythmia algorithm were tested. This testing provides evidence that the WP1 signals are equivalent to the WP300 signals.
# Substantial Equivalence
The subject WP1 has the same intended use as both the predicate WP300 and the reference WP1. The WP1's new SW arrhythmia feature is offered as supplemental information to its sleep information. The device is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device for any cardiac arrhythmia. All other information supplied is the same as the information supplied by the predicate device and the differences in HW between the predicate WP300 (in which the new SW feature for Arrhythmia detection was cleared) and the subject WP1 do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

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.

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.
