The creatine kinase MB (MBI) method is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative measurement of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme activity in human serum and plasma on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system. Measurements of creatine phosphokinase and its isoenzymes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle diseases such as progressive, Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy. The CKI/MBI CAL is an in vitro diagnostic product for the calibration of the Creatine Kinase (CKI) and Creatine Kinase MB (MBI) methods on the Dimension® clinical chemistry system.
Device Story
Prepackaged reagent cartridges for Dimension clinical chemistry systems; measure CK and CK-MB activity in human serum/plasma. CKI assay uses coupled enzyme reaction: CK catalyzes transphosphorylation of creatine phosphate to ADP, producing ATP; ATP used by hexokinase to phosphorylate glucose; G-6-PDH oxidizes resulting glucose-6-phosphate, reducing NADP to NADPH. MBI assay uses immunoinhibition: antibody inhibits CK-M subunit; B subunit activity measured via same coupled enzyme reaction. NADPH formation rate measured bichromatically at 340/540 nm; proportional to enzyme activity. Used in clinical laboratories; operated by trained personnel. Output provides quantitative enzyme activity levels; assists clinicians in diagnosing myocardial infarction and muscle disorders.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 (n=80 per sample). Linearity per CLSI EP6-A (r=0.99997 for CKI; r=0.99992 for MBI). Detection limits (LoD) determined per CLSI EP17-A (CKI: 7 U/L; MBI: 3 U/L). Method comparison against IFCC reference method and Roche predicates showed high correlation (r=0.986-1.000). Interference testing per CLSI EP7-A2 showed <10% bias for common substances. Reference intervals confirmed via bridging study.
Technological Characteristics
Reagent cartridges utilize coupled enzyme reaction (Hexokinase/G-6-PDH) with bichromatic rate detection at 340/540 nm. Calibrator is liquid, human serum albumin-based, containing human CK and porcine CK-MB. System is an automated clinical chemistry analyzer. No specific software algorithm class or connectivity standards detailed beyond system-level integration.
Indications for Use
Indicated for quantitative measurement of creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB isoenzyme in human serum/plasma to aid diagnosis/treatment of myocardial infarction and muscle diseases (e.g., Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy). For prescription use only.

# L. Test Principle:
Dimension® (CKI) Flex® Reagent Cartridge
In a coupled enzyme reaction, the creatine kinase in patient samples catalyzes the transphosphorylation of phosphate from creatine phosphate to adenosine-diphosphate (ADP) producing adenosine-triphosphate (ATP). Hexokinase (HK) uses ATP to phosphorylate glucose. The resulting glucose-6-phosphate is oxidized by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) with the simultaneous reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). The rate of formation of NADPH is directly proportional to the CK activity in the sample and is measured bichromatically at 340 and $540~\mathrm{nm}$ .
Dimension® (MBI) Flex® Reagent Cartridge
The activity of the CK-MM isoenzyme is inhibited by an antibody specific for the CK-M subunit. The activity of the B subunit of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme is not inhibited, and it is on this basis that CK-MB can be measured.

# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
# 1. Analytical performance:
# a. Precision/Reproducibility:
To determine imprecision of the CKI Flex® reagent cartridge, CLSI EP5-A2, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Clinical Chemistry Devices, was followed. During each day of testing, two separate runs, with two test samples, for each test material, were analyzed for 20 days on the Dimension RxL analyzer (n = 80 for each sample).
For the CKI Flex® reagent cartridge, the results are shown in the table below:
| | | Repeatability | | Within-lab | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Material | Mean (U/L) | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| Serum pool 1 | 46 | 0.7 | 1.4 | 1.3 | 2.8 |
| Serum pool 2 | 166 | 1.4 | 0.8 | 3.5 | 2.1 |
| Control level 1 | 108 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 3.5 | 3.3 |
| Control level 3 | 788 | 3.3 | 3.3 | 13.4 | 1.7 |
To determine imprecision of the MBI Flex® reagent cartridge, CLSI EP5-A2, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Clinical Chemistry Devices, was followed. During each day of testing, two separate runs, with two test samples, for each test material, were analyzed for 20 days on the Dimension RxL analyzer (n = 80 for each sample).
For the MBI Flex® reagent cartridge, the results are shown in the table below:
| | | Repeatability | | Within-lab | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Material | Mean (U/L) | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| Serum pool 1 | 26 | 1.0 | 3.9 | 1.3 | 5.0 |
| Control level 2 | 15 | 1.5 | 9.8 | 1.7 | 11.5 |
| Control level 3 | 92 | 3.1 | 3.4 | 3.4 | 3.7 |
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The sponsor conducted a linearity study based on CLSI EP6-A Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement. For both the CKI and MBI assays, a high pool sample was serially diluted with a low pool sample to cover the sponsor's claimed measuring range (7-1000 U/L for CKI and 3-125 U/L for MBI). Theoretical concentrations were computed for all intermediate pools based on the initial concentrations of the high and low pools. Five replicate tests were run on the Dimension RxL analyzer for each level, using a
{6}
randomized testing order. Mean concentration was computed for each level. Recoveries ranged from 99 to 101% for CKI and from 99 to 102% for MBI. The linear regression equation was y = 0.4 + 1.009x, r = 0.99997 for CKI and y = -0.99906 + 1.0137x, r = 0.99992 for MBI.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability and value assignment involves preparation of anchor pools and master pools. The anchor pool is prepared from pooled normal and high human serum and is assigned by the IFCC Reference Method. Three levels of CK master pools are manufactured by adding the appropriate volume of CK stock, with a known concentration into an aqueous human serum albumin calibrator base. Level 1 of the CK master pool, containing no analyte is assigned zero U/L. Levels 2 and 3 of the CK master pool are assigned by the IFCC reference method and verified against the anchor pools using multiple Dimension instruments and replicates.
Five levels of CKMB master pools are manufactured by adding the appropriate volume of CKMB stock, with a known concentration, into an aqueous human serum albumin matrix. Level 1 contains no analyte and is assigned zero U/L. Levels 2 - 5 of the CK master pool are assigned by the IFCC reference method and verified against the anchor pools using multiple Dimension instruments and replicates. The final bottle values for commercial lots are assigned to levels 2 and 3 of the of Dimension® CKI/MBI Calibrator, using CKMB IFCC master pools. The final bottle values for each level of commercial lots are assigned against the master pools using multiple instruments and reagent lots.
Stability: The shelf life and open stability of the CKI.MBI calibrator have been demonstrated using real time data. The predetermined acceptance criteria and protocols were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The CKI/MBI calibrator has a target shelf life of 12 months when stored at -20°C. The calibrator must be thawed at room temperature before use. Once the cap is removed, the assigned values are stable for 14 days when recapped immediately and stored at 2-8 °C.
d. Detection limit:
CLSI/NCCLS EP17-A, Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation, was referenced by the sponsor.
The Limit of Blank (LoB) calculation was performed with N=3 replicates per sample on each of 3 days on the Dimension RxL analyzer. Two reagent lots, 2 instrument systems, 4 blank samples and 4 low analyte serum samples were tested. This gave 36 measurements for each of 8 samples, 144 each total blank and low analyte sample measurements. For the Dimension® CKI Flex®
7
{7}
reagent cartridge, the Limit of Blank was estimated to be 5 U/L. For the Dimension® MBI Flex® reagent cartridge, the Limit of Blank was estimated to be 1 U/L.
CLSI EP17-A was followed to determine the Limit of Detection, with proportions of false positives (α) less than 5% and false negatives (β) less than 5%; based on 288 determinations, with 144 blank and 144 low level samples. LOD is the lowest concentration that can be detected reliably.
The calculation of the Limit of Detection was performed by the following formula:
$$
\mathrm{LoD} = \mathrm{LoB} + (\mathrm{cp})\mathrm{x}(\mathrm{sd})
$$
CKI: 5 U/L + (1.646) x (1.3) = 7 U/L
MBI: 1 U/L + (1.646) x (1.2) = 3 U/L
e. Analytical specificity:
Testing was performed using the paired difference approach described in the guideline document, CLSI EP7-A2. Potential interferents were spiked into aliquots of a fresh sample pool and analyzed as patient samples. Spiked sample results were compared to control samples prepared without the potential interferent.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
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.
