XTAG GASTROINTESTINAL PATHOGEN PANEL (GPP) XTAG DATA ANALYSIS SOFTWARE FOR GPP (TDAS)
Luminex Molecular Diagnostics, Inc.
Medical records/chart reviews; Clinical stool samples from asymptomatic donors
Retrospective analysis of asymptomatic donor stool samples was used to establish baseline pathogen levels. Chart reviews were used to collect clinical signs and symptoms for patients in the prospective clinical study.
The xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP) is a multiplexed nucleic acid test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection and identification of multiple viral. parasitic, and bacterial nucleic acids in human stool specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis or gastroenteritis. The following pathogen types, subtypes and toxin genes are identified using the xTAG® GPP: · Campylobacter (C. jejuni, C. coli and C. lari only) · Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) toxin A/B · Cryptosporidium (C. parvum and C. hominis only) Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) LT/ST · Giardia (G. lamblia only also known as G. intestinalis and G. duodenalis) · Norovirus GI/GII Rotavirus A · Salmonella · Shiga-like Toxin producing E. coli (STEC) stx 1/stx 2 · Shigella (S. boydii, S. sonnei, S. flexneri and S. dysenteriae) The detection and identification of specific gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infection when used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, laboratory findings and epidemiological information. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex nucleic acid-based assay also aids in the detection and identification of acute gastroenteritis in the context of outbreaks. xTAG® GPP positive results are presumptive and must be confirmed by FDA-cleared tests or other acceptable reference methods. The results of this test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions. Confirmed positive results do not rule out coinfection with other organisms that are not detected by this test, and may not be the sole or definitive cause of patient illness. Negative xTAGGastrointestinal Pathogen Panel results in the setting of clinical illness compatible with gastroenteritis may be due to infection by pathogens that are not detected by this test or non-infectious causes such as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, or Crohn's disease. xTAG® GPP is not intended to monitor or guide treatment for C. difficile infections. The xTAG® GPP is indicated for use with the Luminex® 100/200™ instrument.
Device Story
The xTAG GPP is a qualitative multiplex nucleic acid assay for human stool specimens. It uses RT-PCR/PCR amplification followed by a universal tag sorting system on the Luminex 100/200 platform. Input: extracted nucleic acid from stool. Process: multiplex RT-PCR/PCR amplification; hybridization of amplicons to bead populations coupled with antitags; detection via median fluorescence intensity (MFI) on the Luminex instrument. Output: report summarizing presence of pathogens. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results aid in diagnosis of GI infection and outbreak identification. Positive results are presumptive and require confirmation. Benefits include rapid rule-out of pathogens and identification of acute gastroenteritis.

#### I. Device Description:
The Luminex Molecular Diagnostics xTAG GPP consists of kit reagents and software. The reagents in conjunction with a thermal cycler are used to perform nucleic acid amplification (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR/PCR), and the protocol configuration file is used to generate results while the data analysis software (TDAS GPP (US)) is used to analyze the results from the Luminex Corporation Luminex 100/200 instrument system (which includes the xPONENT core software).
The components of the xTAG GPP kit are contained within 2 boxes (one that is frozen, and one that is refrigerated). The kit is shipped with the xTAG GPP CD which contains the xTAG GPP T-A (LX) protocol configuration file and the TDAS GPP (US) software. The instrument is shipped with the xPONENT software.
{3}------------------------------------------------
The xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (xTAG GPP) incorporates multiplex reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR / PCR) with Luminex's proprietary universal tag sorting system on the Luminex platform. The assay also detects an internal control (bacteriophage MS2) that is added to each sample prior to extraction. Each sample is pre-treated prior to extraction and is then put through extraction using the Biomerieux NucliSens EasyMag kit (product code JJH, class I, an IVD-labeled automated system for nucleic acid extraction).
Post-extraction, for each sample, 10 uL of extracted nucleic acid is amplified in a single multiplex RT-PCR/PCR reaction. Each target or internal control in the sample results in PCR amplicons ranging from 58 to 202 bp (not including the 24-mer tag). A five uL aliquot of the RT-PCR product is then added to a hybridization/detection containing bead populations coupled to sequences from the Universal Array ("antitags"), streptavidin, R-phycoerythrin conjugate. Each Luminex bead population detects a specific microbial target or control through a specific tag/anti-tag hybridization reaction. Following the incubation of the RT-PCR products with the xTAG GPP Bead Mix and xTAG Reporter Buffer, the Luminex instrument sorts and reads the hybridization/detection reactions.
A signal, or median fluorescence intensity (MFI), is generated for each bead population. These fluorescence values are analyzed to establish the presence of bacterial, viral or parasitic targets and/or controls in each sample. A single multiplex reaction identifies all targets.
The xTAG Data Analysis Software for the Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (TDAS GPP (US)) analyzes the data to provide a report summarizing which pathogens are present. Before data are analyzed, a user has the option to select a subset of the targets from the intended use of the xTAG GPP (for each sample). Consequently the remaining target results are masked and cannot be retrieved.
Target results above or equal to the cutoff are considered positive, while target results below the cutoff are considered negative. For each sample analyzed by TDAS GPP (US), there are individual results for each of the targets and the internal control (bacteriophage MS2).

# L. Test Principle:
Human stool samples are pretreated and then subjected to nucleic acid extraction. For each sample, 10 uL of extracted nucleic acid is amplified in a single multiplex RT-PCR/PCR reaction. Each target or internal control in the sample results in PCR amplimers ranging from 58 to 202 bp (not including the 24-mer tag). A five uL aliquot of the RT-PCR product is then added to a hybridization/detection reaction containing bead populations coupled to sequences from the Universal Array ("antitags"), streptavidin, R-phycoerythrin conjugate. Each Luminex bead population detects a specific microbial target or control through a specific tag/anti-tag hybridization reaction. Following the incubation of the RT-PCR products with the xTAG GPP Bead Mix and xTAG Reporter Buffer, the Luminex instrument sorts and reads the hybridization/detection reactions. A signal or median fluorescence intensity (MFI) is generated for each bead population. These fluorescence values are analyzed to establish the presence or absence of bacterial, viral or parasitic targets and/or controls in each sample. A single multiplex reaction identifies all targets.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
## 1. Analytical performance:
## a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Site-to-site reproducibility was assessed for each of the indicated microbial targets and for mixed analyte samples (representing co-infected samples). Replicates of simulated samples were tested across 3 sites by 2 operators at each site. All sample replicates tested were prepared through serial dilutions of stock material (pre-treated negative stool spiked with a pathogen or positive stool) containing a microbial target from the intended use. Each sample replicate assayed in the study contained either a single microbial target or 2 microbial targets detected by xTAG GPP in addition to the internal control (bacteriophage MS2). For single analyte samples, dilutions tested fell into 1 of the following 3 categories:
- 1. High Negative (HN): microbial target concentrations which generate MFI values not lower than 20-30% below the cut-off MFI for the indicated analyte
- 2. Low Positive (LP): microbial target concentrations which generated MFI values that were 1-5X the cut-off MFI for the indicated analyte
{6}------------------------------------------------
- 3. Moderate Positive (MP): microbial target concentrations which generated MFI values 7- 10X the cut-off MFI for the indicated analyte.
For those samples prepared to simulate co-infections, one microbial target was present at the LP level defined above and the other at a High Positive (HP) level. HP levels were defined as follows:
High Positive (HP) viral cultures were prepared to a concentration of 10° PFU/mL (10° TCID30/mL) or higher; High Positive (HP) bacterial cultures were prepared to a concentration of 106 CFU/mL or higher.
Each sample replicate underwent a single pre-treatment and extraction step. All samples were extracted using the NucliSens EasyMAG extraction method. Extracted material was kept frozen at -70°C until testing. A total of 90 replicates were tested for each sample (3 replicates per run x 5 runs per operator x 2 operators per site x 3 sites = 90 replicates). Reproducibility was assessed both in terms of calls and MFI values.
For single analyte samples prepared at the MP level, depending on the microbial target, 89/90 (99%) to 90/90 (100%) replicates generated a positive result. For LP dilutions, depending on the microbial target, the correct positive call was made in 80/90 (89%) to 90/90 (100%) replicates tested. The only exception in terms of LP detection was Cryptosporidium, due to the fact that the initial titer for this particular sample was below the targeted range of 1-5X the cut-off MFI. For HN dilutions, depending on the microbial target, the correct negative call was generated in as few as 54/90 (60%) replicates to as many as 90/90 (100%). Greater variability in the HN dilution, compared to the LP and MP dilution, was expected based on the fact that a microbial target is present in these samples at levels sufficient to generate MFI values 20-30% below the cut-off MFI, and based on the stochastic nature of end-point PCR in the presence of low levels of targeted analytes. Accordingly, percent variability, measured as the coefficient of variation (CV) for MFI values were lowest at the MP dilution and highest at the HN dilution.
For dual analyte samples, all microbial targets generated a positive call when present as a HP dilution. When present at the LP concentration, 3 of the 6 microbial target combinations tested generated a positive call in 90/90 (100%) replicates tested. The following was observed for the remaining 3 targets present at LP concentrations in samples containing a second microbial target at HP concentrations:
- 2/90 replicates of the ETEC (HP) / Salmonella (LP) sample generated a negative . call for Salmonella
- . 4/90 replicates of the Salmonella (HP) / Rotavirus (LP) sample generated a negative call for rotavirus
- . 12/90 replicates of the Rotavirus (HP) / Norovirus GII (LP) sample generated a negative call for norovirus

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.
