Indications for Use
ORTHO VISION® / ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer is an instrument designed to automate in vitro immunohematology testing of human blood utilizing ID-MTS™ gel card technology. ORTHO VISION® / ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer automates test processing functions including liquid pipetting, reagent handling, incubation, centrifugation, reaction grading and interpretation, and data management requirements using cards and digital image processing. ORTHO VISION® / ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer can be used as a standalone instrument or interfaced to the customer's Laboratory Information System (LIS).
Device Story
The ORTHO VISION/VISION Max Analyzer is a reusable, automated instrument for immunohematology testing. It processes human blood samples (whole blood, plasma, serum, or red cell suspensions) using ID-MTS gel card technology. The device automates liquid pipetting, reagent handling, incubation, centrifugation, and reaction grading. It utilizes digital image processing to capture high-resolution color images of gel card microtubes. The system interprets reaction results based on pre-defined software rules and manages data, with optional LIS integration. The modification adds the MTS DAT Card to the test menu, requiring a new punch tool to open microtube foil seals. The device is used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. By automating the DAT process, the system provides standardized, objective interpretation of red cell sensitization, aiding in the diagnosis of hemolytic disease states when used alongside patient history and other clinical indicators.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study conducted at four sites with 2,778 random patient/donor samples. Comparison between MTS™ DAT Card and tube method showed 99% negative percent agreement (NPA) for both Anti-IgG and Anti-C3b,-C3d. Low positive percent agreement (PPA) in random samples (64% for Anti-IgG, 56% for Anti-C3b,-C3d) was attributed to low prevalence of positive samples. Supplemental testing of 203 well-characterized contrived positive samples demonstrated 100% agreement, supporting clinical utility for suspected hemolytic disease states.
Technological Characteristics
Automated immunohematology analyzer using column agglutination technology (CAT) with ID-MTS™ gel cards. Features include digital image capture, automated pipetting, incubation, and centrifugation. Connectivity via LIS or standalone. Software-based rule-driven interpretation. Modification includes a mechanical punch tool for MTS™ DAT Card foil seals.
Indications for Use
Indicated for automated in vitro immunohematology testing of human blood, including direct antiglobulin testing (DAT) for the differentiation of human red blood cells sensitized in vivo by IgG immunoglobulins or complement C3b/C3d components in patients or donors.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

### Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer is a reusable multi-patient instrument designed to automate in vitro immunohematology testing of human blood utilizing ID-MTS™ gel card technology. ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer automates test processing functions including liquid pipetting, reagent handling, incubation, centrifugation, reaction grading and interpretation, and data management requirements using cards and digital image processing. ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer can be used as a standalone instrument or interfaced to the customer's Laboratory Information System (LIS).
The modification to the ORTHO VISION® Analyzer and ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer is for the addition of the Immunohematology Anti-Human Globulin Anti-IgG (Rabbit)/Anti-C3b,-C3d (Murine Monoclonal)/DAT Control, MTS™ DAT Card (referred as the MTS™ DAT Card). The MTS™ DAT Card includes qualitative tests in the ID-MTS™ column agglutination technology (CAT) format for the differentiation of (patient or donor) human red blood cells sensitized in vivo by IgG type immunoglobulins or complement C3b and / or C3d components using the ORTHO® Workstation, ORTHO VISION®, and ORTHO VISION® Max platforms.
The addition of the MTS™ DAT Card test to the ORTHO VISION® Analyzer and ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer test menu requires a modification to the analyzer Assay Data Disk (ADD). The ADD is a data file which contains processing parameters used by the analyzer software. There are no changes required to the analyzer software or hardware for this ADD modification. However, a new punch tool has been added to open the foil seal on the microtubes of the MTS™ DAT Card required for each sample to be tested. MTS™ Gel Cards have punch tools specific to microtubes that need to be accessed for pipetting sample required for the specific test to be performed.

## Non-Clinical and Clinical Tests Summary
21 CFR 807.92(b)
### Non-Clinical Performance
Nonclinical tests were performed to support the safety, effectiveness, and performance of the MTS™ DAT Card on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer.
Testing demonstrated that environmental conditions, extreme to nominal ORTHO VISION® / ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer specifications of temperature and humidity, have no impact on the assay performance of the MTS™ DAT Card. For both test platforms, repeatability within run and between analyzers across two validation lots of MTS™ DAT Cards resulted in 100% agreement and over 99% concordance at the lower bound of the 95% confidence limit. Testing also demonstrated that the current MTS™ Gel Card serological timeout restrictions for Anti-Human Globulin formulations used for direct antiglobulin testing (DAT) may be applied to the MTS™ DAT Card for use on the ORTHO VISION® and ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzers.
Assay performance of the Anti-IgG, Anti-C3b, -C3d, and DAT Control formulations is acceptable with samples collected in the anticoagulant recommended for DAT testing, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and processed on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer. Sample stability for patient and donor samples drawn into EDTA was confirmed to be consistent with the MTS™ Gel Card customer Instructions for Use, maintaining the recommendation to run samples within 24 hours of collection. Additionally, MTS™ DAT Card assay performance using hemolyzed samples was evaluated to confirm that hemolysis may interfere with the test interpretation when run on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer. The results confirmed that testing with heavily hemolyzed samples may result in interference with test interpretation. MTS™ DAT Card assay performance was also evaluated to demonstrate that cell washing does not affect test results when run on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer. There was 100% concordance between Test results and paired Control results. Assay performance was not compromised by washing cells with saline three times.
Internal testing was performed to verify acceptable agreement between the MTS™ DAT Card and comparator tube methods (ORTHO® Anti-IgG and BioClone® Anti-C3b, -C3d) when used on the ORTHO VISION® Analyzer and the ORTHO VISION® Max Analyzer.

510(k) Summary
## Conclusion
All nonclinical testing results for the use of the MTS™ DAT Card on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer met their acceptance criteria. The successful nonclinical testing demonstrates that each MTS™ DAT Card formulation run on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices for the defined indications for use.
## Clinical Performance
Clinical equivalency testing was performed at four sites (two external and two internal sites) that routinely perform immunohematology testing. Random clinical specimens including donors and patients (N=2778) were tested on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer.
Random sample results were assessed on a microtube-to-tube test basis using a paired sample comparison between the comparator tube method and the gel card microtube under evaluation. For reaction grades to be concordant between methods either both results had to be negative, or both had to be positive (any reaction grade 1+ through 4+). For the tube test method, a weak reaction was considered positive when comparing to the gel card microtube. The combined results from all sites are summarized in the following table. Percent agreement indicates concordance between the two assays and does not indicate which method gave the correct result. The results below do not reflect testing to resolve initial discrepant results between methods.
## Anti-IgG and Anti-C3b,-C3d Microtube Concordance
| Random Clinical Specimens | | | | | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| All Sites Combined | Total | | | Positive | | | Negative | | |
| Test | N | Percent Agreement | Lower Bound of 95% CI | N* | Percent Agreement | Lower Bound of 95% CI | N | Percent Agreement | Lower Bound of 95% CI |
| Anti-IgG | 2778 | 98% | 98% | 28 | 64% | 47% | 2750 | 99% | 98% |
| Anti-C3b,-C3d | 2778 | 99% | 99% | 9 | 56% | 25% | 2769 | 99% | 99% |
| Control | All samples demonstrated negative results in the Control microtube. | | | | | | | | |

510(k) Summary---
The combined total percent agreement and negative percent agreement (NPA) at the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval met the NPA requirement for direct antiglobulin tests of ≥ 95% agreement at the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval when testing random patient and donor samples on the ORTHO VISION® / VISION® Max Analyzer and in all microtube formulations.
The positive percent agreement (PPA) was 56% for the Anti-C3b, -C3d microtube formulation and 64% for the Anti-IgG microtube formulation for random patient and donor samples. There was a low frequency (1.3% to 1.4%) of random DAT positive patient and donor samples across the full study. If all random positive samples were concordant, the lower bound of the 95% CI would still not meet the minimal requirement of ≥ 95%.
Due to the small sample size of random positives, IgG and C3 contrived positive samples were used to support intended use for positive results. 203 well-characterized, contrived positive samples were tested and met a 100% point estimate agreement on the ORTHO VISION® and VISION® Max Analyzers. Testing of contrived positive samples coated with clinically significant IgG antibodies and components of complement across a range of reaction strengths further supports acceptable performance of the MTS™ DAT Card reagents.
Taking into consideration the clinical utility of the Direct Antiglobulin Test, as well as the fact that the DAT result is used in conjunction with patient history and other prognostic indicators, there is no expectation that the low PPA resulting from random donor and patient sampling encountered in the MTS™ DAT Card clinical trials would translate to a negative impact on patient care when used as intended for suspected hemolytic disease states and not as a random diagnostic immunohematology test.
The clinical evaluation study of the MTS™ DAT Card showed acceptable performance in the intended use environment.

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.
