Indications for Use
The SERADYN OMS™ DIGOXIN assay is used for the quantitation of digoxin in human serum or plasma on the Abbott AEROSET® System. Digoxin is a potent cardiac glycoside widely prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from congestive heart failure, as well as some types of cardiac arrhythmias. Digoxin intoxication is a common and serious problem in the clinical setting. This is, in part, a result of the fact that cardiac glycosides have a low therapeutic ratio (a very small difference between therapeutic and tissue toxic levels). Coupled with the narrow therapeutic range is a marked patient variability in response to the same dosage of drug, often resulting in unpredictable serum drug levels. Intoxication symptoms are often indistinguishable from the original condition for which the drug was prescribed. It may not be immediately apparent whether the patient has been under or overdosed. Monitoring serum digoxin levels combined with other clinical data can provide the physician with useful information to aid in adjusting patient dosage and achieving optimal therapeutic effect while avoiding useless sub-therapeutic or harmful toxic dosage levels.
Device Story
Homogeneous particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay (PETIA) for serum/plasma digoxin quantitation. Operates on Abbott AEROSET system. Principle: competition between sample digoxin and digoxin-coated microparticles for anti-digoxin antibody binding sites. Sample digoxin inhibits microparticle agglutination; rate of agglutination (turbidity) measured spectrophotometrically at 700 nm. System generates internal calibration curve using six-level calibrators; compares sample absorbance rate to curve to determine concentration (ng/mL or nmol/L). Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output assists physicians in adjusting dosage to maintain therapeutic range and avoid toxicity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated via specificity (cross-reactivity with metabolites/analogues), accuracy by spike recovery (94-102%), linearity (R2=0.9955), precision (total CV 0.91-2.31%), and method comparison against Roche Tina-quant (n=55, r=0.99346). Interference studies confirmed no significant impact from bilirubin, hemoglobin, lipids, or HAMA.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous PETIA; reagents include digoxin-coated microparticles and mouse monoclonal anti-digoxin antibody. Spectrophotometric detection at 700 nm. Automated on Abbott AEROSET system. Calibration via six-level calibrators. No specific material standards cited.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitation of digoxin in human serum or plasma to aid in monitoring therapeutic levels and managing digoxin intoxication in patients with congestive heart failure or cardiac arrhythmias.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A digoxin test system is a device intended to measure digoxin, a cardiovascular drug, in serum and plasma. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of digoxin overdose and in monitoring levels of digoxin to ensure appropriate therapy.

| b. Common Name: | Digoxin Particle Enhanced Immunoturbimetric Assay |
| c. Classification Name: | 862.3320 Enzyme Immunoassay, Digoxin |
#### 4. Legally marketed devices to which equivalency is claimed:
Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin on the Abbott AEROSET® System is substantially equivalent to the Roche Tina-quant Digoxin cleared under K953239.
#### 5. Description of Device:
The Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin Assay is a homogeneous Particle Enhanced Turbidimetric Immunoassay used for the quantitation of digoxin in serum or plasma. The assay is intended for use on the Abbott AEROSET® System, using the Seradyn QMS Digoxin Calibrators (previously cleared as Digoxin Immunoassay K983323.
The reagent system components are 1) digoxin coated microparticle reagent, and 2) the antibody reagent which consists of a mouse monoclonal antibody specific for digoxin.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The technology is based on competition between the digoxin in the sample and digoxin coated onto the microparticles, for the antibody-binding sites of the anti-digoxin antibody reagent. In the absence of digoxin in the sample, the specific antibody in the antibody reagent binds the digoxin on the particle, and results in rapid agglutination of the microparticles. In the presence of digoxin in the sample, the digoxin in the sample competes for antibody binding sites of the specific antibody in the antibody reagent, and partially inhibits the agglutination of the microparticles. The rate of agglutination (turbidity) is directly proportional to the rate in absorbance change of incident light and is measured spectrophotometrically by the Abbott AEROSET® System at a wavelength of 700 nm.
A six level Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin Calibrator set, with known digoxin concentrations is used to quantitate the assay. An internal concentration-dependent calibration curve is generated by the AEROSET® System, by measuring the rate of absorbance change of each calibrator level. Maximum absorbance rate is at the lowest digoxin concentration and the lowest absorbance rate at the highest digoxin concentration.
By monitoring the change in rate of a specimen with unknown digoxin concentration, and comparing to the internal calibration curve, a sample's concentration can readily be obtained and reported as digoxin concentration in either ng/ml or nmol/L.
#### 6. Intended Use:
The SERADYN OMS™ DIGOXIN assay is used for the quantitation of digoxin in human serum or plasma.

| Assay Range | 0.05 to 5.0 ng/mL<br>(0.06 to 6.40 nmol/L) | 0.15 to 7.5 ng/mL<br>(0.19 to 9.6 nmol/L) |
| Method<br>Principles | The Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin Assay is a<br>homogeneous Particle Enhanced<br>Turbidimetric Immunoassay based on the<br>principle of spectrophotometrically<br>measuring turbidity and changes in absorbed<br>light, which result when activated<br>microspheres agglutinate.<br><br>The microspheres (R2) are coated with<br>digoxin, which in the presence of an anti-<br>digoxin antibody (R1), rapidly agglutinate.<br>The sample is incubated with the Antibody<br>reagent. The microparticles are added and<br>allowed to incubate. In the absence of any<br>digoxin in the sample, rapid agglutination<br>occurs, resulting in a turbid solution. When a<br>sample containing digoxin is introduced, the<br>agglutination is partially inhibited, slowing<br>down the agglutination process. Thus the<br>Abbott AEROSET® analyzer can measure<br>the resulting turbidity and generate a classic<br>inhibition curve (calibration curve), with<br>respect to concentration, with maximum rate<br>of agglutination at the lowest digoxin<br>concentration, and minimum rate of<br>agglutination at the highest digoxin<br>concentration. By monitoring the change in<br>rate of specimen agglutination (absorbance<br>rate), and comparing to the internal<br>calibration curve, a sample's concentration<br>can readily be obtained and reported as<br>digoxin concentration in either ng/ml or<br>nmol/L. | The Tina-quant® Digoxin is also a<br>homogeneous Particle Enhanced<br>Turbidimetric Immunoassay with exactly the<br>same principles as the Seradyn QMS™<br>Digoxin Assay. The only difference is that<br>the turbidity (change in absorbance) is<br>measured spectrophotometrically on the<br>Hitachi® analyzers. The digoxin<br>concentration can also be reported in ng/ml<br>or nmol/L. |

NONE
#### 9. Summary of Clinical Testing:
The results of the clinical testing (Performance Characteristics) oof the Seradyn OMS Digoxin assay were compared to results of the studies reported in the Roche Tina-quant Digoxin Package Insert.
#### A. Specificity
Cross-reactivity was tested on the AEROSET using the Seradyn QMS Digoxin assay. The major digoxin active metabolites, digoxigenin bis-digitoxoside, digoxigenin monodigitoxoside, and digoxigenin, as well as digitoxin, another cardiac glycoside, and its common analogue, digitoxigenin, were tested.
Cross reactivity was calculated using the following formula:
(Equivalent digoxin conc of spiked sample – Dgoxin conc of sample without cross reactant) X 100% Conc of cross reactant
The % cross reactivity on the AEROSET was compared to the reported Roche Tina-quant cross reactivity.
| | AEROSET<br>Conc. of | | Tina-quant | |
|-------------------------------|---------------------|------------------------|----------------------------------|------------------------|
| | Cross-Reactant | | Conc. of | |
| | Spiked (ng/mL) | % Cross-<br>Reactivity | Cross-Reactant<br>Spiked (ng/mL) | % Cross-<br>Reactivity |
| Compound | | | | |
| Digitoxigenin | 500 | 0.5% | Not Reported | <1% |
| Digitoxin | 50 | 3.1% | 51 | 4.1% |
| Digoxigenin | 50 | 4.0% | 33 | 6.4% |
| Digoxigenin bis-digitoxoside | 5 | 112% | 1.75 | 120% |
| Digoxigenin mono-digitoxoside | 5 | 78.2% | 1.9 | 111% |
#### Spironolactone and Canrenone
Aldosterone inhibitors, spironolactone and canrenone have been reported to interfere with digoxin recovery in other commercially available immonoassays. These compounds were tested on the Abbott AEROSET® System using the Seradyn OMS™ Digoxin assay. The effect of spironolactone and canrenone were assessed in both the presence and absence of digoxin in the sample.

| Spironolactone | 800 | 0.0% | Not Reported | <1% |
| Canrenone | 3,000 | <0.002% | Not Reported | Not Reported |
Percent cross reactivity was calculated and compared to the Tina-quant reported results.
### B. Accuracy by Recovery
Accuracy by analyte spike recovery was determined by adding a concentrated digoxin solution to human serum at four different concentrations. Percent recoveries for each level were calculated using the following formula:
% Recovery = ("mean recovered concentration" divided by "theoretical concentration") x 100%
Data summary are shown below.
| % Analyte<br>Added | Added (Theoretical)<br>Concentration<br>(ng/mL) | Mean<br>Recovered<br>Concentration<br>(ng/mL) | Percent (%<br>Recovery |
|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|------------------------|
| 100% | 4.85 | 4.85 | 100% |
| 75% | 3.64 | 3.73 | 102% |
| 50% | 2.43 | 2.37 | 98% |
| 25% | 1.21 | 1.14 | 94% |
Acceptable Recovery: 100±10% of theoretical value
The Roche Tina-quant package insert has no reported study of accuracy by recovery
#### C. Sensitivity
The least detectable dose, defined as the lowest Digoxin concentration that can be distinguished from zero with 95% confidence, is 0.05 ng/mL (0.064 nmol/L).
The Roche Tina-quant assay reports a lower detection limit of 0.15 ng/mL (0.19 nmol/L).
#### D. Accuracy & Linearity by Dilution
Accuracy and linearity by dilution was determined using a slightly modified procedure described in National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) proposed guideline EP6-P. The 5.0 ng/mL Digoxin Calibrator was diluted with the 0.0 ng/mL Digoxin Calibrator at 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%. The diluted samples, as well as the 5.0 ng/mL calibrator were analyzed on the AEROSET® using the Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin assay.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Percent recoveries for each level were calculated using the following formula:
% Recovery = ("mean recovered concentration" divided by "theoretical concentration") x 100%
Representative data are shown below.
| | Theoretical<br>Concentration<br>(ng/mL) | Mean<br>Recovered<br>Concentration<br>(ng/mL) | Percent (%)<br>Recovery |
|----------|-----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
| Dilution | | | |
| Neat | 5.00 | 4.92 | 98% |
| 80% | 4.00 | 4.2 | 105% |
| 60% | 3.00 | 3.14 | 105% |
| 40% | 2.00 | 2.05 | 103% |
| 20% | 1.00 | 1.05 | 105% |
Acceptable Recovery: 100 ± 10% of theoretical value.
Linearity was assessed by performing linear regression analysis using the least squares method. The expected values were plotted on the x-axis against the observed values on the y-axis. Linear regression statistics yielded: y = 1.0066x - 0.0923; R2 = 0.9955
The Roche Tina-quant assay reported "acceptable linearity" when serially diluting a with a digoxin concentration of 6.8 ng/mL with Digoxin Calibrator 1. It is acknowledged that concentration levels this high are extremely rare.
#### E. Precision
Precision was determined as described in National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) protocol EP5 (including an additional estimate of between dav precision). A tri-level human serum based commercial control containing digoxin was was assayed in duplicate twice a day for twenty days. The between run, within run, and total sd and %CVs were calculated.
The following are representative results from pooled data:
| Sample | n | Mean<br>(ng/mL) | Within Run<br>SD | Within Run<br>CV(%) | Between Day<br>SD | Between Day<br>CV(%) | Total Run<br>SD | Total Run<br>CV(%) |
|--------|----|-----------------|------------------|---------------------|-------------------|----------------------|-----------------|--------------------|
| 1 | 80 | 0.59 | 0.0128 | 2.17% | 0.0047 | 0.80% | 0.0137 | 2.31% |

| 3 | 80 | 4.81 | 0.0372 | 0.77% | 0.0227 | 0.47% | 0.0436 | 0.91% |
The Roche Tina-quant assay reports the following imprecision, using an internal protocol:
| Sample | N | Within Run | | | Between Day | | |
|-------------|----|-----------------|------|-------|-----------------|------|-------|
| | | Mean<br>(ng/mL) | SD | CV(%) | Mean<br>(ng/mL) | SD | CV(%) |

{6}------------------------------------------------
#### F. Method Comparison
Correlation Studies were performed using NCCLS Protocol EP9-A. Results from the Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin assay on the AEROSET® System were compared to the Tinaquant® assay on the Hitachi® 717. The clinical specimens ranged from 0.33 ng/mL (0.42 nmol/L) to 3.06 ng/mL (3.92 nmol/L). Results of the specimen testing are shown below.
| | Hitachi |
|----------------------------|---------|
| y-intercept | 1.06 |
| Slope | -0.13 |
| Correlation<br>Coefficient | 0.99346 |
| Number of Samples | 55 |
#### G. Interfering Substances
Digoxin assay on the Abbott AEROSET® System at the concentrations indicated. Interference studies were conducted using NCCLS protocol EP7-P as a guideline document.
Abnormal bilirubin levels were prepared by adding to human serum pool containing approximately 0.8 ng/mL of digoxin. Abnormal hemoglobin levels were prepared by addition of red blood cell lysate to the same human serum pool. Abnormal lipid levels were prepared by addition of Intralipid® to the same human serum pool.
Results showed no interference at the following levels:
| Interfering<br>Substance | Interferent Concentration | N | Target<br>(no Interferent)<br>(ng/mL) | Mean<br>Recovery<br>(ng/mL) | Observed<br>(% of<br>Target) |
|--------------------------|------------------------------|---|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------------------|
| Bilirubin | 20 mg/dL<br>(342 umol/L) | 2 | 0.84 | 0.83 | 99% |
| Hemoglobin | 1,000 mg/dL<br>(10 g/L) | 2 | 0.80 | 0.88 | 110% |
| Intralipid | 2,000 mg/dL<br>(22.6 mmol/L) | 2 | 0.84 | 0.89 | 106% |
Acceptance criteria are recoveries of 100±12% for hemoglobin, 100±10% for hemoglobin、100 ±20% for lipids
The Roche Tina-quant package insert reports "no significant interference" up approximately 60 mg/dL of bilirubin, approximately 1,000 mg/dL of hemoglobin, and approximately 1700 mg/dL of triglyceride.
### HAMA Interference
As with any assay employing mouse antibodies, the possibility exists for interference by human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in the sample, which could cause falsely elevated results. A normal human serum pool (control), and HAMA type 1 and HAMA type 2
{7}------------------------------------------------
samples were spiked with the same amounts of digoxin. Each of the samples were assayed in duplicate on the Abbott AEROSET® System using the Seradyn OMS™ Digoxin assay. The means of each duplicate HAMA sample were compared to the mean of the control normal human serum. Acceptance criteria is a recovery of 100 ±10% of the control serum.
Results are as follows:
| | Rep 1 | Rep 2 | Mean | %<br>Recovery |
|---------|-------|-------|------|---------------|
| Control | 0.83 | 0.81 | 0.82 | 100 |
| HAMA 1 | 0.83 | 0.83 | 0.83 | 101 |
| HAMA 2 | 0.88 | 0.88 | 0.88 | 107 |
The Roche Tina-quant package insert reports no HAMA interference study.
## H. Reagent Stability Data
#### Real Time Stability
The long-term stability is on going. Two months real time stability is collected so far.
#### Instrument on-board stabilitv
The reagents were left uncapped on-board and controls were assayed twice weekly for a period of 60 days. Control recoveries at subsequent time points were compared to Day 0 recovery. Data showed that the control recoveries to be acceptable, demonstrating reagents on board stability for 70 days. Based on this data, an on-board stability claim of at least 60 days is made. No re-calibration was required during the study.
Roche Tina-quant reports an instrument on-board stability of 90 days for their reagents.
### I. Instrument Calibration Stability:
Data used in the on-board stability is used to claim instrument calibration stability of 60 days, since no re-calibration was required during the period under study.
Roche Tina-quant reports no calibration stability claim.
### 10. Conclusions:
The results of clinical testing demonstrate that the performance and effectiveness of the Seradyn QMS™ Digoxin Assay are substantially equivalent to those of the Roche Diagnostic Systems Tina-quant® Digoxin assay.

#### SERADYN QMS™ DIGOXIN ON THE ABBOTT AEROSET® SYSTEM Device Name:
#### Indications For Use:
The SERADYN OMS™ DIGOXIN assay is used for the quantitation of digoxin in human serum or plasma on the Abbott AEROSET® System.
Digoxin is a potent cardiac glycoside widely prescribed for the treatment of patients suffering from congestive heart failure, as well as some types of cardiac arrhythmias. Digoxin intoxication is a common and serious problem in the clinical setting. This is, in part, a result of the fact that cardiac glycosides have a low therapeutic ratio (a very small difference between therapeutic and tissue toxic levels). Coupled with the narrow therapeutic range is a marked patient variability in response to the same dosage of drug, often resulting in unpredictable serum drug levels. Intoxication symptoms are often indistinguishable from the original condition for which the drug was prescribed. It may not be immediately apparent whether the patient has been under or overdosed.
Monitoring serum digoxin levels combined with other clinical data can provide the physician with useful information to aid in adjusting patient dosage and achieving optimal therapeutic effect while avoiding useless sub-therapeutic or harmful toxic dosage levels.

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?

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.
