The ONLINE DAT Benzodiazepines Plus is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of benzodiazepines in human urine on automated clinical chemistry analyzers at cutoff concentrations of 100 ng/mL, 200 ng/mL, and 300 ng/mL. Semi-quantitative test results may be obtained that permit laboratories to assess assay performance as part of a quality control program.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic assay for benzodiazepine detection in human urine; utilizes Kinetic Interaction of Microparticles in Solution (KIMS) technology. Input: human urine sample; Principle: competitive immunoassay where drug in sample competes with drug-conjugated microparticles for sheep polyclonal antibody binding sites; Output: change in light transmission/absorbance measured by automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Absence of drug leads to particle aggregation and increased absorbance; presence of drug inhibits aggregation, decreasing absorbance relative to cutoff. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians/pathologists to assess benzodiazepine presence. Results assist healthcare providers in clinical decision-making regarding drug screening. Benefits include rapid, automated, semi-quantitative assessment of drug presence.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on analytical performance characteristics and technological comparison to predicate.

K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
FDA’s Replacement Reagent and Instrument Family Policy Guidance.
L. Test Principle:
The test is an enzyme immunoassay for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Calibrators, ranging in concentration from 0 to 600 ng/mL, are run with the assay. Enzyme-labeled drug and drug present in the sample compete for limited antibody binding sites. Binding of the enzyme-labeled drug inhibits its reaction with the substrate, thereby influencing the rate of absorbance change measured by the instrument. The rate of absorbance change is proportional to the concentration of drug in the sample. Concentrations of controls and unknowns are calculated from the standard curve.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Unassayed multi-analyte controls used for these qualitative and semi-quantitative applications are Control Set DAT I, Control Set DAT II, and Control Set DAT III, targeted at 0.75x for the negative control and 1.25x for the positive control relative to each of the 100, 200, and 300, ng/mL assay cutoffs.
The multi-analyte calibrator sets used for the Benzodiazepines Plus application are Preciset DAT Plus I (K031775) and Preciset DAT Plus II (K033306). In addition, C.f.a.s. DAT Qualitative Plus (K033306), a single level, multi-analyte qualitative calibrator can also be used for the calibration of the qualitative assay at a 300 ng/mL cutoff. Finally, C.f.a.s. DAT Qualitative Clinical, a 5 level, multi-analyte calibrator set, can also be used for the benzodiazepines qualitative assay at 100 or 300 ng/mL cutoffs. This calibrator set is comprised completely of qualified bottles into a new kit configuration from 5 existing Roche DAT calibrator sets listed as follows: Preciset DAT Plus I, level 4 (K031775), Preciset DAT Plus II, level 3 and C.f.a.s. DAT Qualitative Plus (K033306), Preciset DAT THC, level 3 (K033246) and Preciset DAT Amphetamine, level 4 (K033265)
Calibrators and controls are required with this assay and are specifically identified in the labeling. They are both provided separately, and have been previously cleared.
STABILITY
Product shelf-life claims for the R1 reagent (bottle 1 diluent and bottle 1a antibody) and the R2 conjugated drug derivative/ microparticle reagent will be established based on real-time stability studies. At least one lot of the reagent will be tested up to or exceeding the product shelf life claim (expiration date) before commercializing the product.
Real time stability testing is conducted on product stored at 2° - 8° C over the claimed shelf life. Product is tested at time 0, and at approximately 50%, 75% and
{9}
100% of the shelf life claim. Testing includes ≤ 5% crossovers at the cutoff when tested at 0.75x and 1.25x relative to the 300 ng/mL cutoff. All protocols, acceptance criteria, and data will be kept on file at Roche Diagnostics.
d. Detection limit:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Because the candidate device was compared to a reference method, GC/MS, it was not compared to a predicate device.
Accuracy – Clinical Samples – 100 ng/mL Cutoff
Accuracy of the ONLINE DAT Benzodiazepines Plus assay at a 100 ng/mL cutoff was evaluated in method comparison studies between the Benzodiazepines Plus assay and GC/MS results.
Negative Urine Study – One hundred (100) urine samples, obtained from a clinical laboratory where they screened negative in a drug test panel, were evaluated with Benzodiazepines Plus. Ten of these samples were also confirmed negative by GC/MS. Of the 100 samples evaluated, 100 were negative relative to the 100 ng/mL cutoff.

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.
