Indications for Use
The Ameditech ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II is an In Vitro screen test device for the qualitative detection of multi-drugs in human urine. The cutoff concentrations for this panel test are as follows. Test Calibrator Cutoff (ng/ml) Barbiturates (BAR) Secobarbital 300 Benzodiazepines (BZO) Oxazepam 300 3,4methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) 3,4methylenedioxymethamphetamine 500 Methamphetamine (MET1000) d-Methamphetamine 1000 Methadone (MTD) Methadone 300 Opiates (OPI300) Morphine 300 Oxycodone (OXY) Oxycodone 100 This test has three types of test format: card format (test strips are placed in a card strip holder), cassette format (test strips are placed in a cassette strip holder), and cup format (test strips are placed in a lid strip holder). This test is used to obtain a visual, qualitative result and is intended for professional use. This assay provides only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a confirmed analytical result, a more specific alternate chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmation method.
Device Story

## K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
The sponsor did not reference any standards in their submission.
## L. Test Principle:
The device employs lateral flow immunochromatographic technology and is based on the principle of competitive binding. Drugs, if present in concentrations below the cutoff level, will not saturate the binding sites of the antibody coated particles on the drug specific test strips. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized drug-specific conjugate and a colored line will appear in the control region and the test region. If the sample contains drugs above the cutoff level, a colored line will not appear in the strips test region. Binding of drug in the sample causes the absence of a line at the test area, i.e., a positive result. When drug is not present in the sample, the drug-labeled conjugate binds at the test line, resulting in formation of a line, i.e., a negative result. Formation of a colored line in the control region indicates that the proper volume of urine has been added. If a colored line does not appear in the controls region, the test result is inconclusive and should be repeated. The absence or presence of the line is determined visually by the operator.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision was assessed by conducting a lot-to-lot precision study and also by conducting a four site precision study. The lot-to-lot precision study used drug free urine and urine samples containing drug at the cutoff, 50% below the cutoff, 25% below the cutoff, 25% above the cutoff and 50% above the cutoff. The samples were tested with three lots of the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II device (card format) for 3 consecutive days. 10 samples for each of the 6 concentrations were tested daily for each lot. One lot per day for 3 days produced a total of 540 specimens per drug. The results are summarized in the table below.

In order to show that all three formats of the devices (card, cup and cassette) are equivalent in readability, an additional study was conducted in conjunction with the above precision study. The data showed that all samples with drug concentration of $50\%$ below cutoff were identified as negatives with card, cassette, and cup test formats. All samples with drug concentration of $50\%$ above cut-off were identified as positives with all three formats. The chart below incorporates all three formats with the results of both readers.

that were 50% above the cut-off were all identified at positives at study sites and with all lots.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable. The assay is intended for qualitative use.
c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):
This device has internal process controls. A colored line appearing in the control region confirms that sufficient sample volume and that the correct technique has been used. Users are informed not to interpret the test if a colored line failed to appear in the control region.
Controls are not supplied with this device. The presence of the control line serves as a built-in control, which demonstrates that the test is performing properly.
d. Detection limit:
Sensitivity of this assay is characterized by validating performance around the claimed cutoff concentration of the assay, including a determination of the lowest concentration of drug that is capable of producing a positive result.
The sponsor tested the device to determine the analytical sensitivity at and around the designated cutoff concentrations. Drug free urine and urine samples containing drug at the cutoff, 50% below the cutoff, 25% below the cutoff, 25% above the cutoff and 50% above the cutoff were tested with three lots of the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II device (card format) for 3 consecutive days. 10 samples for each of the 6 concentrations were tested daily for each lot. The 1080 specimens per drug were independently interpreted by 2 readers (540 per reader). The results are summarized in the table below:

# e. Analytical specificity:
# e.1 Cross Reactivity Study
Cross-reactivity was established by spiking various drugs, their metabolites and other compounds likely to be present in urine into drug-free urine. The concentration of the drug/drug metabolites, structure-related compounds standard solution was determined by GC/MS. These solutions were spiked into drug-free urine at a concentration of $100\mu \mathrm{g / mL}$ , then serially diluted and tested with the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II until the concentration yielded a negative result. Cross-reactivity was calculated by dividing the concentration at which the compound yielded a positive result by the designated cut-off concentration.
Cross-Reactivity = Lowest concentration of the targeted drug that generates a positive result Lowest concentration of compound that generates a positive result
By analyzing various concentrations of each compound, the sponsor determined the concentration of the drug that produced a response approximately equivalent to the cutoff concentration of the assay. Results of those studies appear in the table(s) below:

# e.2 Interference Studies
The following compounds were evaluated for potential positive and negative interference with the assay. To evaluate potential interference, the sponsor prepared two urine pools that consisted of drug-free urine spiked with each of the 7 drugs to $50\%$ below and $50\%$ above cutoff concentrations. To aliquots of these pools, the sponsor added the potential interferent at a concentration of $100 \square \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ .

The urinary pH variations, when tested with urine samples from pH 4 to 9, did not affect the expected test results of the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II Device.
# e.4 Urinary Specific Gravity
Sample solutions containing drug concentrations that were $50\%$ above and $50\%$ below the cutoff used in the sensitivity studies were adjusted to specific gravities that ranged from 1.003 to 1.04. Specific Gravity was determined by the weight of the sample solution divided by the volume $(\mathrm{g / mL})$ . The specific gravity adjusted samples were tested in triplicate with the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II. An unaltered sample was used as a control. The results are summarized in the table below:

Specific gravity
Specific Gravity variations between 1.004 to 1.04, did not affect the accuracy of the test results obtained with the ImmuTest Multi0Drug Screen Panel II.
# f. Assay cut-off:
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has not recommended a cutoff concentration for barbiturates, benzodiazepines, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, methadone and oxycodone. The cutoff for those drugs and for opiates were chosen based on the levels used by predicate devices. SAMHSA has recommended a cutoff concentration for methamphetamine and the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II followed that recommendation.
Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentration appears in the precision section above.

Sample description: A total of 642 samples were obtained from 2 clinical testing laboratories. An additional 25 diluted samples were also included and were prepared by diluting positive samples with negative urine. This was done in order to obtain more samples near the cutoff concentrations. Sixty negative urine samples were collected from presumed non-user volunteers. Forty five of the sixty samples were analyzed and were tested by the ImmuTest Multi-Drug Screen Panel II and with one of the predicate devices listed above. The remaining 15 samples were analyzed and found negative on the GC/MS.
Sample selection: The study included an adequate number of samples that contained drugs near the cutoff concentration of the assay. Approximately 10% of the study samples are evenly distributed between plus and minus 50% of the claimed cutoff concentration.

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.
