## L. Test Principle:
The enzyme immunoassays (EIA) methods are intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of oxycodone, amphetamine, phencyclidine, and cannabinoids (THC). The EIA assays are based on competition between drug in the sample and drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the drug concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity. In the absence of drug in the sample, drug-labeled G6PDH conjugate is bound to antibody, and the enzyme activity is inhibited. When free drug is present in the sample, antibody binds to the free drug, and the unbound drug-labeled G6PDH then exhibits its maximal enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH, resulting in an absorbance change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm on the iMDx Analyzer.

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
To evaluate linearity, a series of 7 concentration levels were made by diluting a stock solution (traceable back to NIST standard) of oxycodone, methamphetamine, PCP, and THC with negative human urine. The dilutions were assayed in duplicate over 2 runs. The only deviation from this protocol was that six levels were tested for THC instead of seven.

c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):
Calibrators and controls for are traceable to Cerilliant Reference Standards and GC/MS.
An intermediate concentration of calibrators (designated as master calibrator) for each analyte was made by diluting Cerilliant References Standard with synthetic urine. This master calibrator was
{11}
Page 12 of 23
value-assigned by GC/MS. The master calibrators are then gravimetrically diluted using synthetic urine to various concentration levels. The concentration values of diluted calibrators/controls are assigned using GC/MS. These calibrators/controls become internal reference standards.
These internal reference standards are aliquoted and stored at below -80°C environments and are used only for testing working calibrators (i.e. calibrators used to produce products). The production protocol for internal reference standards and working calibrators are identical except that the working calibrators are tested against the internal reference standards.
Stability: Real time accelerated stability studies have been conducted. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. The stability is listed below:
iMDXPrep MMT-I Reagent and Calibration plate stability is 3 months at 2-8°C.
iMDXPrep Control stability is 1 month at 2-8°C
Calibrators and one level of control are provided in the kit. The Quality Control section of the labeling also recommends the assaying of commercially available controls at ± 25% of the cutoff. In the labeling the sponsor recommends that users follow federal, state and local guidelines for testing external quality control materials.
Eight levels of calibrator material are provided with the assay at the following concentrations:

# d. Detection limit:
Characterization of performance at the low end of the semiquantitative range was defined as the lowest concentration of analyte that can be distinguished from background and is calculated as twice the standard deviation of results obtained for the zero calibrator. The detection limit for the assays is as follows:
Oxycodone - 16.8 ng/mL
Amphetamine - 73 ng/mL
{13}
Page 14 of 23
PCP - 1.21 ng/mL
Cannabinoids - 9.1 ng/mL
e. Analytical specificity:
Cross-reactivity was evaluated by spiking various concentrations of similarly structured drug compounds into drug-free urine. 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:
The following parent compounds and metabolites yielded the following percent cross-reactivity results:

The effect of sample pH on assay performance was assessed through analyte recovery at their respective cutoff levels with three runs using the iMDx analyzer and associated reagents. During each run, three urine samples containing analytes at cutoff concentration with different pH (pH 4.0, pH 7.3, and pH 9.0) are assayed in duplicate. The average recovery of the concentration at pH 4.0 and pH 9.0 were compared to pH 7.3, the control condition. The results are summarized in the table below.
| Analyte | pH 4.0 | pH 9.0 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Oxycodone | 92.75% | 94.10% |
| Amphetamines | 97.06% | 102.49% |
| PCP | 96.90% | 93.02% |
| Cannabinoids | 91.70% | 111.50% |
The evaluation of urine sample specific gravity (SG) on assay performance was conducted with two runs for all analytes at their respective cutoff levels. During each run, six urine samples with different specific gravities (SG 1.003, SG 1.005, SG 1.015, SG 1.020, SG 1.025 and SG 1.030) containing cutoff levels of analyte are assayed in duplicate. The average recovery of the concentration is compared to SG 1.020, the control condition. The results are summarized in the table below.
| Analyte | SG 1.003 | SG 1.005 | SG 1.015 | SG 1.025 | SG 1.03 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Oxycodone | 104.90% | 102.20% | 106.40% | 100.50% | 100.00% |
| Amphetamines | 100.60% | 99.60% | 104.00% | 102.70% | 103.40% |
| PCP | 99.70% | 100.70% | 99.90% | 98.90% | 100.00% |
| THC | 89.40% | 97.70% | 90.30% | 94.90% | 91.70% |
The effect of ascorbic acid, bilirubin and hemoglobin was assessed through analyte recovery at the cutoff levels. Samples were spiked with high levels of the potential interferents and the recovery was compared to a control sample. Recoveries ranged from a low of $90\%$ to a high of $110\%$ .
# f. Assay cut-off:
The identified cutoff concentration of the amphetamines, phencyclidine, and cannabinoids assay are recommended for use by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). SAMHSA has not made cutoff recommendations for oxycodone assays. Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentration appears in the precision section, above.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
The candidate device was compared to a reference method, GC/MS.
Both negative and positive samples were evaluated by the candidate device and by GC/MS as follows:
| Analyte | Positives | Negatives | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Oxycodone | 53 | 50 | 103 |
| Amphetamines | 65 | 50 | 115 |
| PCP | 58 | 50 | 108 |
| THC | 51 | 80 | 131 |
Unaltered clinical urine samples were evaluated.
The study included an adequate number of samples that contained drugs near to 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.

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.
