# Legally Marketed Device:
FUKUDA DENSHI model DS-3300 Patient Monitor; 510(k) number K894628
## Description:
The DS-5800N is a microprocessor based software controlled device. This central station monitor incorporates a 15 inch color CRT display. Up to eight patients can be centrally monitored simultaneously from the ICU, CCU, or other areas of the hospital. Input signals are provided by Fukuda Denshi 5000 series patient monitoring equipment that have been submitted under separate 510(k) filings.
The DS-5800N is a true central station. All data is provided by external sources, Fukuda Denshi 5000 series patient monitoring equipment, for presentation and printout at central. The DS-5800N will act as a remote keypad for the bedside monitors, utilizing its built in touch screen or optional keyboard. The central station will act as the LAN administrator for monitors connected to the Fukuda Denshi patient monitoring LAN and display data from any eight of up to 48 bedside monitors.
The DS-5800N will present alarm information, ECG analysis, and other hemodynamic data acquired and processed by bedside monitors. The DS-5800N does not perform any of these functions. The DS-5800N is used to announce and control arrhythmia alarm information from the bedside.
## Intended Use:
This device is intended to be used as a central station monitor for the evaluation of the cardiovascular system. It is intended to be used by or on the order of a physician or similarly qualified health care professional. The DS-5800N is intended to be used in hospital environments; ER, ICU, a clinic; or similar settings. This device is intended to be used in those situations where the patient is being monitored by a Fukuda Denshi DS-5000 series bedside patient monitor and remote, central station monitoring is desired. This device is not intended for home use.

# Technological Characteristics
The DS-5800N incorporates a microprocessor in a similar manner to the predicate device. Data is acquired from "intelligent" bedside monitors via an Ethernet, twisted pair LAN and presented for display and/or printout. LAN communication is managed by the central station. A touch screen, placed over the CRT offers the operator a means of entering information into the system and controlling the central station.
The technological characteristics of the DS-5800N do not effect the safety or efficacy of the device. Any safety issues that may be raised by a software controlled medical device are the same issues already addressed by the predicate device and are addressed in the systems hazard analysis and in the system validation.
# Testing:
Laboratory testing was conducted to validate and verify the FUKUDA DENSHI DynaScope model DS-5800N Central Station Monitor met all design specifications and was substantially equivalent to the FUKUDA DENSHI model DS-3300's central station function. This testing consisted of all environmental testing identified in the FDA's DCRND November 1993 "Reviewer Guidance Document for Premarket notification Submissions" Draft Guidance Document. ANSI/AAMI ES1-1993, "Safe current limits for electromedical apparatus", and ANSI/AAMI EC13-1992, "Cardiac monitors, heart rate meters, and alarms. Finally, a hazard analysis of the system and its software was performed and testing in a simulated environment was conducted to validate the overall system.
Although the device is neither life supporting nor life sustaining, diagnostic information derived from the use of the device may be critical to the proper management of the patient.

So, the areas of risk for this device are the same as other devices in this class, and are as follows:
- Electrical shock, to the patient or user.
Excessive electrical chassis leakage current can disturb the normal electrophysiology of the heart, and possibly leading to the onset of cardiac arrhythmias.
- Misdiagnosis.
- Inadequate design of the data acquisition and display and printer output circuitry or program can lead to generation of inaccurate diagnostic data. If inaccurate diagnostic data are used in managing the patient, the physician may prescribe a course of treatment that places the patient at risk unnecessarily.
- Inadequate design of the device's software can lead to generation of inaccurate diagnostic data. If inaccurate diagnostic data are used in managing the patient, the physician may prescribe a course of treatment that places the patient at risk unnecessarily.
The design of the DS-5800N has taken into account all the above. The device is designed to meet UL 601, CSA 22.2 and AAMI standards for electrical safety for medical equipment. The device has been tested demonstrate compliance with these standards and to verify that the device does meet all specifications. Review of the test results does confirm that these objectives have been successfully achieved.
## Conclusion:
The conclusions drawn from the laboratory testing of the FUKUDA DENSHI DynaScope model DS-5800N Central Station Monitor demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device, the FUKUDA DENSHI model DS-3300, K894628.

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.
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.
