K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
CLSI EP10-A2: “Preliminary Evaluation of Quantitative Clinical Laboratory Methods”
L. Test Principle:
Uritest 50 and Uritest 500 urine analyzers:
These analyzers are reflectance photometers that analyze the intensity and color of light reflected from the reagent areas of a urinalysis reagent strip. Using a light emitting diode (LED) as the light source and a photodiode as a light sensor, the optical system reads the color change in the urine strips after a sample is applied.
Uritest 10 reagent strips:
For the detection of urobilinogen, the device employs a modified Ehrlich’s reaction. Urobilinogen reacts with Ehrlich’s reagent to form a red-colored compound. Color changes from light orange-pink to dark pink.
For the detection of glucose, the device employs glucose oxidase to catalyze the oxidation of glucose to form hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide thus formed then oxidizes a chromogen on the reaction pad by the action of peroxidase.
For the detection of bilirubin, bilirubin reacts with a dichlorobenzene diazonium salt in acid media to produce a colored product via an azo coupling. Bilirubin concentration is proportional to the intensity or the resulting purple color.
The device uses Legal’s test-nitroprusside reaction for the detection of ketones. Acetoacetic acid in an alkaline medium reacts with nitroferricyanide to produce a color change from beige to purple.
The device uses a correlation between the concentration of ionic species and the sample’s specific gravity to report an estimated specific gravity. Electrolyte (M+ X-) in the form of salt in urine reacts with poly-methyl vinyl ether and maleic acid which is a weak acid ionic exchanger. The reaction produces hydrogen ions which react with a pH indicator that causes a color change.
To detect blood, the device exploits the pseudo-peroxidase activity of the haem moiety of hemoglobin and myoglobin. A chromogen is oxidized by a hydroperoxide in the presence of haem and produces a green color.
To qualitatively estimate protein concentration, the device uses the “error of indicators” principle. Proteins interact with an ionizable electrolyte driving the release of protons which in turn interact with a spectator indicator. The color change in the indicator is correlated with the protein concentration.
The device detects nitrite through a reaction with an aromatic amino sulphanilamide to form a diazonium compound. The diazonium compound reacting with tetrahydro benzo(h)quinolin-3-phenol causes the color change.
One location on the strip contains an indoxyl ester and diazonium salt. Leukocytes contain an esterase that hydrolyzes the indoxyl ester. The liberated compound reacts with the diazonium salt on the strip to generate a purple compound. The concentration of leukocytes is correlated with the production of a purple color.
The device used two indicators to measure pH in a broad range of urinary pHs.

# d. Detection limit:
The sensitivity of the assay when read by Uritest 50 and Uritest 500 analyzers was validated by spiking positive urine samples of known concentrations for each analyte please see M.1.b. above). The minimum sensitivity level for each analyte of the Uritest 10 strips when read by the Uritest 50 and Uritest 500 analyzers is defined by the sponsor as the concentration at which at least $50\%$ of the results are positive for that concentration. These positive samples of each analyte were then diluted to the lowest positive concentration on the Uritest color chart. Each urine sample was tested with three lots of the Uritest 10 strips in 20 replicates. The results of each analyte sensitivity pad are summarized in the table below:
Uritest 50

The lower limits of detection for pH and SG are as follows: 1.005 for SG and 5.0 for pH.
# e. Analytical specificity:
The sponsor tested a variety of endogenous and exogenous compounds for interference in negative and positive urine samples on the Uritest 50 analyzer. Fresh negative urine was spiked with the analyte of interest and the interfering analyte. The following analytes at the specified concentrations did not impact the results of the device:
| Compound Tested | Concentration Used |
| --- | --- |
| Albumin | 800 mg/dL |
| Citric Acid | 50 mg/dL |
| Bilirubin | 3 mg/dL |
| Creatine | 8 mg/dL |
| Acetoacetate Acid | 1 mmol/L |
| Ammonium Chloride | 189 mg/dL |
| Calcium Chloride | 50 mg/dL |
| Creatinine | 800 mg/dL |
| Glycine | 1000 mg/dL |
| KCl | 550 mg/dL |
| NaCl | 2800 mg/dL |
| Oxalic Acid | 70 mg/dL |
| Sodium Acetate | 1200 mg/dL |
| Sodium Bicarbonate | 1500 mg/dL |
| Sodium Nitrate | 0.26 mg/dL |
| Sodium Nitrite | 0.3 mg/dL |
| Sodium Phosphate | 16 mg/dL |
| Urobilinogen | 3 mg/dL |
| Urea | 3000 mg/dL |
| Riboflavin | 100 mg/dL |
| Theophylline | 100 mg/dL |
| Phenolphthalein | 1200 mg/dL |
{13}
The sponsor found that high levels of ketones (> 10 mgdL) and ascorbic acid (>8.8 mg/dL) would interfere with the measurements of glucose in urine using this device. The sponsor noted this interference in their product insert.
The sponsor also noted that ascorbic acid at concentrations of 45 mg/dL or higher interfered with the device's detection of glucose, nitrate and bilirubin. Furthermore, ascorbic acid at concentrations of 100 mg/dL or higher interfered with the device's detection of blood, pH, leukocytes, specific gravity, protein, urobilinogen and ketone. Hemoglobin at concentrations of 50 mg/dL and higher interfered with the device's detection of blood. Glucose at concentrations of 2000 mg/dL or higher interfered with the device's detection of leukocytes. The sponsor noted those interferences in their product insert.
A relationship is found between the Mesna concentration and the urinary test-strip reaction. The uroprotective drug mesna (sodium 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate) and other free-sulfhydryl compounds produce false-positive results in ketone methods that are based on the Legal reaction (alkaline sodium nitroprusside). The sponsor noted this interference in the product insert.

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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
