J. Substantial Equivalence Information:
1. Predicate device name(s): Biosite Triage Tox Drug Screen
2. Predicate 510(k) number(s): k060791
3. Comparison with predicate: Both devices are for the qualitative determination of the same analyte in the same matrix. Both devices use immunochromatographic lateral flow technology.
The candidate device uses gold-conjugated reagents to generate the reddish-purple test and controls lines, which are read by the instrument. The predicate device uses fluorescent-conjugated reagents to generate control and test lines that are not visible and can be read only by the instrument.
The predicate device detects Acetaminophen and Tricyclic Antidepressants in addition to the same nine drugs of abuse detected by the candidate device. The cutoff concentrations vary, with the candidate device having lower cutoffs in all but two of the assays, i.e., THC and PCP.
K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
CLSI Guidance EP-12A User Protocol for the Evaluation of Qualitative Test Performance
L. Test Principle:
The PROFILE®-V MEDTOXScan® Drugs of Abuse Test System includes a competitive, membrane-based immunochromatographic PROFILE®-V MEDTOXScan® Test Device and the MEDTOXScan® Reader.
Antibody-Colloidal Gold: Mouse monoclonal antibodies bind to the drug being tested.
Drug-Conjugates: Each drug to be tested was individually conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) or IgG. Each drug conjugate is immobilized on a test line at a designated position on the membrane strip.
Control Line: Each test strip has anti-mouse antibody immobilized at the Control (C) position of the membrane strip. The anti-mouse antibody will bind excess antibody-colloidal gold, indicating that the reagents are migrating properly. When the urine sample is placed in the sample well of a test strip, the dried antibody-colloidal gold under the sample pad dissolves and the urine wicks up the white strips carrying the reddish-purple antibody-colloidal gold with it.

{4}

# Negative Samples
When no drug(s) is present in the urine sample, the reddish purple antibody-colloidal gold solutions migrate along the strip and bind to the respective drug conjugate(s) immobilized on the membrane. Each strip has up to 4 drug test lines labeled T1 – T4. The binding of the antibody-colloidal gold to the drug conjugate generates a line at the corresponding test (T) position on the strip. The MEDTOXScan® Reader will scan each test position and if a line is detected it will return “NEG” on the display screen (or print out) next to the abbreviation for the drug test, indicating a negative result.
# Positive Samples
When drug(s) is present in the urine sample the antibody-colloidal gold binds to the drug(s) before it migrates along the strip. When the antibody colloidal gold binds to the drug(s) in the urine, it cannot bind to the drug conjugate immobilized on the membrane and no line is generated at the drug specific position in the result window. The MEDTOXScan® Reader will scan each test position and if no line is detected it will return “POS” on the display screen (or print out) next to the abbreviation for the drug test, indicating a preliminary positive result.
# Control Line (Valid or Invalid results)
Each test strip has an internal procedural control. A line must form at the Control (C) position in the result window to indicate that sufficient sample was applied and that the reagents are migrating properly. If a Control line does not form, the test is invalid. The MEDTOXScan® Reader scans each control line and returns “VALID” to the right of the drug test result to confirm that the control line was detected. If no control line is detected it will return “INVALID” on the display screen next to the abbreviation for the invalid drug test, and no result will be given for the drug test.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Urine stock solutions were prepared for each of the test compounds by spiking standard solution of known concentration into commercially available negative pool urine or into an in-house negative pool prepared from fresh drug-free urines (pH 6-7, Specific Gravity 1.012-1.018). Each stock solution was assayed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS. The average value obtained was used to make serial dilutions around the cutoff value to obtain from 150% of cutoff down to 10% of the cutoff. The stock solution was diluted with negative pool urine to obtain the serial dilutions.

# pH and Specific Gravity:
To test for possible positive and/or negative interference from pH, the sponsor prepared two study control samples. The control samples consisted of drug free urine spiked with the calibrator drugs at negative and positive concentrations. Aliquots of the control samples were adjusted to a pH of 4.0, 7.0, and 9.0. Each sample was assayed in triplicate. No negative interference due to pH was observed.
To test for possible positive and/or negative interference from specific gravity the sponsor, prepared two study control samples. The control samples consisted of drug free urine spiked with the calibrator drugs at negative and positive concentrations. Aliquots of the control samples were altered to span the specific gravity range of 1.007 to 1.031. No positive or negative interference due to specific gravity was observed.
# Common Drugs:
Drug free urine samples were spiked with the Profile V targeted drugs to the concentrations of 25% and 150% of the cutoff concentrations. 100 µg/mL of the common drugs listed below, were then added to the preparation and assayed. Evaluations were performed in triplicate by in-house operators. None of the common drugs listed in the following table affected the expected results.

f. Assay cut-off:
Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentration appears in the precision section, 1.a, above.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Performance was evaluated by assaying a panel of masked unaltered clinical urine samples containing varying concentrations of drugs with Profile V device. Results were then compared to GC/MS or LC/MS/MS results. Samples were obtained from MedTox Laboratories. Samples less than -50% of the cutoff, near cutoff negative (between -50% and the cutoff), near cutoff positive (between cutoff and +50%) and high positive (+50%) were confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS for Benzodiazepines. Testing was performed in-house. Readings were taken at 10 minutes and reported in this table.

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.
