## VII. Technological Characteristics
The BP7155D has the same intended use, operating principle, patient population, measurement method, pressure sensor technology, measurement algorithm, and core blood pressure measurement functionality, applicable cuff(s), and applicable arm circumference range as the predicate device. Both devices utilize cuff oscillometric method for blood pressure determination.
The primary technological difference between the proposed device and the predicate device is the addition of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication functionality. The BLE functionality only enables transmission of stored blood pressure and pulse data to external applications and does not modify or influence measurement performance, displayed results, or device operation.
The BLE communication does not control, modify, interpret, analyze, or influence blood pressure measurement performance, measurement algorithms, cuff control, displayed results, or clinical interpretation of measurement data. The device continues to perform blood pressure measurements independently even when BLE functionality is not used. The data transmitted via BLE communication is identical to the measurement results displayed on the device screen. Data transmitted via BLE is identical to that displayed on the device.
Additional differences include minor updates to:
- Device dimensions and weight
- Cuff connector design to comply with IEC 80369-5:2016
These modifications do not affect the intended use, safety, or effectiveness of the device.
## VIII. Performance Testing
### Electrical Safety and EMC
Electrical safety testing conducted in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11 for the predicate device remains applicable, as no changes were made to the electrical design that would impact safety. The addition of BLE does not affect the device's electrical safety profile.
K261929
Page 7 of 9
{11}
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing was evaluated to include BLE functionality and confirmed that the device meets applicable requirements without impacting performance. EMC testing was conducted in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2 to ensure that the device operates safely and effectively in the presence of electromagnetic disturbances. The device met all applicable emissions and immunity requirements, and essential performance was maintained under all tested conditions.
## Software Verification and Validation
The BP7155D utilizes the same measurement algorithms, logic, and core functionality for blood pressure measurement and analysis as the cleared predicate device (K133379). No changes have been made to the software components that impact measurement performance, including pressure sensing, calculation, or result determination functions. The software safety classification for the measurement functionality remains unchanged.
The primary software modification is the addition of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) functionality to enable transmission of stored data to external applications. This functionality is limited to data communication and does not affect measurement, analysis, or display of blood pressure results. The external applications are intended solely for the transfer, storage, and display of the data, and are therefore considered non-device software functions not subject to the medical device regulation.
Software development, verification, and validation activities were conducted in accordance with:
- FDA Guidance: Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices
- FDA Guidance: Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices
- IEC 62304: Medical device software – Software life cycle processes
Verification and validation testing included evaluation of BLE connectivity, data transmission, data integrity, and system behavior under normal and fault conditions. Results demonstrate that data transmitted via BLE is identical to that displayed on the device and is not modified during transmission.
Previously established software verification and validation testing for the predicate device remains applicable to the measurement functionality. Risk management activities were updated to address BLE-related considerations, including data integrity and
K261929
Page 8 of 9
{12}
communication reliability, in accordance with FDA cybersecurity guidance. No new risks were identified that impact safety or effectiveness.
Accordingly, the software modifications do not affect the device's core performance, and the software continues to perform as intended. The device does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
# Biocompatibility
The proposed device does not introduce new patient-contacting materials compared to the predicate device. Previously established biocompatibility testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1 remains applicable to the subject device.
# Clinical Validation
The BP7155D utilizes the same validated monitoring technology as the predicate device, with no changes to sensors, applicable cuff(s), measurement algorithms, or blood pressure measurement accuracy. The device leverages the clinical validation previously established for the predicate device under ANSI/AAMI/IEC 81060-2. Additional clinical testing was not considered necessary because the addition of BLE functionality is limited to data transmission and does not affect measurement performance or clinical interpretation.
# IX. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The BP7155D is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K133379) with respect to intended use, operating principle, technological characteristics, and performance. The addition of BLE functionality is limited to wireless transfer of stored measurement data and does not affect blood pressure measurement, analysis, display, or device operation.
Verification and validation testing confirmed that the BLE functionality performs as intended and does not adversely impact device safety, effectiveness, or essential performance. Any additional differences are limited to user interface, ergonomic, and interoperability enhancements and do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Accordingly, the BP7155D is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

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 as a Medical Device, 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 as a Medical Device), 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.
