Retia Medical Systems, Inc.
Archived clinical recordings from OR and ICU patients
Retrospective analysis of archived clinical waveform data was used to compare the performance of the Argos Infinity SaMD against the predicate Argos Monitor to demonstrate substantial equivalence in cardiac output calculation accuracy.
Cardiac output accuracy, precision, trending ability, and reproducibility
Indications for Use
Argos Infinity is intended for use in adult patients (18 years and older). It is designed to provide clinicians with continuous hemodynamic monitoring, including cardiac output and derived parameters, for patients who receive radial arterial blood pressure catheters. The Argos Infinity software is used for the continuous measurement of cardiac output from an intravascular radial arterial blood pressure signal. This signal is derived from a blood pressure signal transmitted over a computer network from a vital signs monitor. The device is intended to be used by clinicians at the bedside or in remote settings to assess advanced hemodynamics of patients in an operating room or in an intensive care unit.
Device Story
Argos Infinity is SaMD that calculates hemodynamic parameters from invasive radial arterial blood pressure waveforms; inputs are 20-second digitized waveform segments transmitted over hospital networks from bedside monitors (e.g., Philips IntelliVue, GE CARESCAPE). The device processes these signals to output cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and pulse pressure variation; results are retrieved by third-party client applications for integration into electronic medical records. Used by clinicians in ORs or ICUs for bedside or remote/centralized monitoring. The device enables continuous hemodynamic assessment, aiding clinical decision-making regarding patient status. It is deployed on hospital network servers.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical comparison using archived data from 40 OR/ICU patients compared Argos Infinity outputs against the predicate Argos monitor and pulmonary artery catheter thermodilution. Results showed clinically and statistically indistinguishable performance, meeting pre-specified equivalence criteria of ≤0.1 L/min or 6% difference. Testing confirmed accuracy, precision, trending ability, and reproducibility.
Technological Characteristics
SaMD; algorithm identical to predicate Argos. Inputs: digitized arterial blood pressure waveforms via network. Connectivity: hospital network server-based, accessible by client applications. Standards: ISO 14971, ISO 62366, IEC 62304, IEC 82304, IEC 81001, IEC 60601-1-8.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients (18+) requiring continuous hemodynamic monitoring via radial arterial blood pressure catheters in OR or ICU settings.

## 4. Device Description Summary
The proposed "Argos Infinity," (AI) is a "Software as a Medical Device" (SaMD) designed to calculate the hemodynamic status of a patient from their invasive blood pressure signal. The blood pressure signal is obtained from a digitized waveform source such as a data aggregator used for central waveform viewing in an intensive care unit or an operating room, or a monitoring device. The SaMD has an application programming interface that allows a digital waveform source to send 20 seconds of waveform data and obtain calculated hemodynamic data results for that data segment including cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and their respective indices (normalized to body surface area). In addition, pulse pressure variation is also calculated.

These results are pulled from the SaMD by a third party client application and appended to the patient's online medical record. The SaMD is to be deployed on a network server within the hospital's IT department that is accessible to a client application that can access the same hospital network.
Argos Infinity was clinically validated using bedside patient monitors configured to transmit invasive arterial blood pressure data via a data aggregation system, consistent with the Argos Infinity data acquisition configuration. The monitors included in clinical validation were Philips IntelliVue® patient monitors and GE CARESCAPE® patient monitors, each with invasive blood pressure monitoring capability. These monitors and acquisition configurations represent the complete set of systems included in the Argos Infinity clinical validation testing. Compatibility claims are limited to the validated configurations described above.
The Argos Infinity algorithm is identical to the algorithm implemented in the previously cleared Argos device, with no changes to the signal processing, calculation methods, or performance characteristics. The differences between Argos Infinity and the predicate device are limited to the intended operating environment and deployment model. Argos Infinity is designed for use within a hospital network and supports remote and centralized (command center) monitoring in addition to bedside use, without altering the underlying algorithm or its clinical performance.
# 5. Indications for Use
Argos Infinity is intended for use in adult patients (18 years and older). It is designed to provide clinicians with continuous hemodynamic monitoring, including cardiac output and derived parameters, for patients who receive radial arterial blood pressure catheters

patient population, or user population, as the intended use also states the use of an intravascular radial arterial blood pressure signal. Therefore, the intended use of the Argos Infinity can be considered substantially equivalent.
The technological characteristics of the Argos Infinity are similar to the Argos Monitor (K181372). The algorithm for calculating the hemodynamic status in the Argos Infinity is identical to the Argos Monitor. The differences between the subject and predicate are limited to the implementation of the algorithm. The Argos Infinity is SaMD and has been validated to ensure performance equivalency, including data transmission, to the predicate Argos Monitor. Additionally, the subject Argos Infinity UI has a multipatient view as well as a single patient view. Usability testing has demonstrated that this additional view can be used safely and effectively. No new types of safety or effectiveness questions have been raised and the subject Argos Infinity can be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate Argos Monitor.
# 8. Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary (Performance Data)
Data accuracy and latency testing was performed on the subject and predicate Argos Cardiac Output Monitor devices. The results of the testing demonstrated the substantial equivalence of the subject Argos Infinity's performance.
A clinical comparison between the subject Argos Infinity and the predicate Argos monitor was performed to assess the equivalency of accuracy, precision, trending ability, and reproducibility. The results of testing demonstrated that the subject Argos Infinity is substantially equivalent to the predicate Argos monitor
Based on the results of the performance testing for data accuracy and latency, the subject Argos Infinity can be expected to be at least as safe and effective and to perform at least as well as the predicate Argos Cardiac Output Monitor.

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.
