The WatchPAT400 (WP400) is a non-invasive home care device for use with patients suspected to have sleep related breathing disorders. The device is a diagnostic aid for the detection of sleep related breathing disorders, sleep staging (REM Sleep, Light Sleep, Deep Sleep and Wake), snoring level and body position. The WP400 generates a peripheral arterial tonometry ("PAT") signal, Respiratory Disturbance Index ("pRDI"), Apnea-Hypopnea index ("pAHI"), Central Apnea-Hypopnea index ("pAHIc"), sleep staging identification (pSTAGES) and optional snoring level and body position discrete states from an external integrated snoring and body position sensor. The device's pSTAGES and snoring level and body position provide supplemental information to its pRDI/pAHI/pAHIc. The device'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.

pAHIc is indicated for use in patients 17 years and older. All other parameters are indicated for 12 years and older.
# Device Description
The WP400 is a ventilatory effort recorder that utilizes PAT technology. The controller part of the device is worn on the wrist and records the PAT signal and arterial blood oxygen saturation levels by a finger-mounted probe based on an optical plethysmographic method. An actigraph, embedded in the wrist worn controller unit, records wrist motion that is used to determine periods of sleep vs wake. A chest sensor is attached to the patient's chest right under the sternal notch for measuring snoring level, body position states and chest movements. The device is battery powered and connects via Bluetooth to a mobile application.
The WP400 is a re-usable device, with sensors common with the WP300 and wireless connectivity identical to the WP1. With the same core technology, signal acquisition, and signal processing identical across all three WatchPAT devices, the WP400 is a combination of its predecessors: device housing leveraged from the WP300 for its re-usable nature, combined with the ability for wireless communication leveraged from the WP1. Signals recording, processing, and analysis has not changed from the predicate devices.
# Substantial Equivalence
The WP400 has the same intended use and indications, with the same principles of operation as the predicates WP1 and reference device WP300. All are intended for use with patients suspected to have sleep related breathing disorders. The minor differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Based on the comparison of intended use/indications for use, technological characteristics and testing, the WP400 can be found substantially equivalent to the predicate WP1.

3. Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions Guidance Document. Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions Guidance Document. The Software Level of Concern was found to be Basic.
4. Although the hardware (e.g., sensors) and algorithms of WatchPAT400 are identical to the predicate (WatchPAT 300), a new clinical study was conducted to revalidate the SpO2 performance across varying skin tones. The clinical testing compared the SpO2 accuracy of the WatchPAT400 to arterial blood samples assessed by CO-Oximetry during non-motion conditions over the range of 70-100% SaO2. The study was conducted in accordance with ISO80601-2 applicable sections, and Pulse Oximeters – Premarket Notifications Submissions [510(k)s] Guidance For Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff (issued: March 4, 2013). The study was performed in ELEMENT Laboratories and included twenty-four healthy adult volunteer subjects. The participants had varying skin tones, assessed via Monk Skin Tone (MST) scale and Individual Topology Angle (ITA) measurements. The results of the study indicate SpO2 accuracy performance of the WatchPAT pass with an ARMS of 2.0% with upper 95% confidence intervals of 2.08%. Non-disparate performance was confirmed.
## Conclusion
Based on the comprehensive comparison and performance testing presented in this 510(k) submission, the WatchPAT400 (WP400) is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, the WatchPAT ONE (K223675), as it shares identical intended use, core PAT technology, sensor components, signal processing algorithms, and clinical outputs. Minor differences in housing design and connectivity have been previously cleared in the respective reference device (K222331 – WatchPAT300). The performance testing demonstrates that the WP400 meets all established safety and performance criteria, and the identified differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness, therefore supporting a determination of substantial equivalence.

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.

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.
