Device Story
VITROS Chemistry Products AMPH assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for detecting amphetamines in human urine. Input: urine sample treated with surfactant (DAT Diluent 2). Principle: competition between amphetamines in sample and enzyme-labeled (G6P-DH) d-amphetamine/d-methamphetamine for antibody binding sites. Enzyme activity decreases as binding increases; active enzyme converts NAD+ to NADH, causing absorbance change measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. Output: semi-quantitative or qualitative amphetamine concentration. Used on VITROS 5,1 FS Chemistry Systems in clinical laboratories by professional personnel. Results assist clinicians in diagnosing/treating amphetamine use or overdose. Requires confirmatory testing via GC/MS for positive results.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Analytical performance established via bench testing: precision (within-lab CV 1.5-15.6%), linearity (100-1450 ng/mL), limit of quantitation (75 ng/mL), and analytical specificity/interference testing. Method comparison study (n=106) against predicate and GC/MS showed high agreement (96.2-97.2% overall agreement at 500/1000 ng/mL cutoffs).
Indicated for qualitative or semi-quantitative determination of amphetamines in human urine for diagnosis and treatment of amphetamine use or overdose. Intended for professional laboratory use. Preliminary results require confirmation by alternative chemical method (e.g., GC/MS).

L. Test Principle:
The test is an enzyme immunoassay for use on the Vitro 5,1 FS Chemistry System. Calibrators ranging in concentration from 0 to 2000 ng/mL are run with the assay. The Vitros AMPH assay is a homogenous enzyme immunoassay technique used for the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of amphetamine in human urine. In the performance of the Vitros AMPH assay, samples, calibrators and controls are treated with surfactant (DAT Diluent 2) prior to addition of the reagents. The treated sample is mixed with Reagent 1 which contains antibodies reactive to d-amphetamine and d-methamphetamine, glucose-6-phosphate and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Subsequently Reagent 2 containing d-amphetamine and d-methamphetamine, labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6P-DH) is added. Amphetamine in the treated sample and the d-amphetamine and d-methamphetamine labeled G6PDH compete for the antibody binding sites. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, so amphetamine concentration in the sample can be measured in terms of enzyme activity. Enzyme activity converts NAD+ to NADH resulting in an absorbance change that is measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The samples used for testing were the sponsor's controls, Verifiers I, II, III, IV and V. The samples were run in duplicate, twice a day for twenty-two days using two lots and four instruments. The results are presented in the table below:
{5}
| Control Mean Concentration (ng/mL) | Within Day SD | Within Lab SD | Within Lab CV% |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 217 | 14.1 | 33.9 | 15.6 |
| 370 | 12.1 | 23.6 | 6.4 |
| 642 | 12.1 | 25.4 | 4.0 |
| 784 | 11.8 | 28.1 | 3.6 |
| 1255 | 27.1 | 71.6 | 5.7 |
An additional study was performed using three quality control materials targeted at the assay's cutoff concentrations. The controls were run 20 replicates per day for five days using a single lot of reagent. The results are presented in the table below:
| Cutoff Value (ng/mL) | Mean Measured Concentration | Within Lab SD | Within Lab CV% |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 500 | 511 | 8.5 | 1.7 |
| 1000 | 1041 | 15.1 | 1.5 |
Qualitative imprecision was assessed by taking samples with target values $\pm 25\%$ of the cutoff concentration. The samples were run in duplicates one to two times a day for twenty-two days using one lot number of reagent and one analyzer. The results are in the table below:
| Cutoff Value | Sample at ± 25% Cutoff | Number of observations | Number of correct Results | Confidence Level |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 500 ng/mL | 370 ng/mL | 84 | 84 | >95% negative reading |
| | 642 ng/mL | 86 | 86 | >95% positive reading |
| 1000 ng/mL | 784 ng/mL | 86 | 86 | >95% negative reading |
| | 1255 ng/mL | 84 | 84 | >95% positive reading |
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity fluids were prepared from two pools of urine with amphetamine concentrations near the extremes of the calibration range (low pool $0\mathrm{ng / mL}$ and high pool $1800\mathrm{ng / mL}$ . The two pools were mixed to create 19 additional pools of intermediate concentrations.
{6}
Three determinations of each pool and three determinations of Verifiers were tested with three lots of reagent and one analyzer. A linear regression analysis was performed by the method of least squares. The plotted curve conforms to a straight line, supporting the reportable range 100-1450 ng/mL.
Recovery study:
Fourteen admixtures were prepared from two human urine pools and the concentrations were verified by GC/MS. Results are presented in the table below:
| GC/MS ng/mL | VITROS AMPH Assay ng/mL | % Recovery |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 141 | 134 | 95.3 |
| 211 | 216 | 102.3 |
| 281 | 284 | 100.8 |
| 422 | 412 | 97.7 |
| 563 | 566 | 100.6 |
| 704 | 751 | 106.8 |
| 844 | 886 | 104.9 |

| 1337 | 1349 | 100.9 |
| 1407 | 1417 | 100.7 |
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
A primary calibrator is prepared through gravimetric addition of USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia) d-methamphetamine reference standard into drug free human urine and the concentration is confirmed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Next working calibrators are prepared by diluting the primary calibrator with drug free human urine matrix. The value assigned to the working calibrator is verified by GC/MS.
The VITROS DAT Performance Verifiers I,II,III,IV and V are prepared through the gravimetric addition of Sigma catalog number M8750 to drug free human urine matrix and the values are assigned by a GC/MS.
Stability Studies:
Real time and accelerated studies have been conducted. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. The
{7}
manufacturer claims the following expiration date:
When stored at 2-8 °C the assay reagent is good until the expiration date.
When stored at ≤-18 °C the calibrator is good until the expiration date. Open stored at 2-8 °C it is good for ≤ 28 days.
When stored at 2-8 °C the controls are good until the expiration date. Open stored at 2-8 °C they are good for 4 weeks.
d. Detection limit:
Seven human samples at various concentration below the lowest calibrator (150 ng/mL) were assayed in 10 replicates once a day for 5 days using three different lot numbers of reagent. A fully nested ANOVA was used to determine the total variability of each sample and a pooled SD was calculated for each of the three reagent lots used. The sponsor followed CLSI EP-17A to calculate the limit of quantitation which is 75 ng/mL for this assay.
e. Analytical specificity:
Cross-reactivity was established by spiking various concentrations of similarly structured compounds into drug-free calibrator. The quantity of a compound that produces a value equivalent to the d-methamphetamine (ng/mL) at each cutoff is listed below:

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.
