Predicate Device (Current ELVIS Kit Formulation)
Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) for HSV isolation and typing
Indications for Use
The ELVIS®HSV ID and D3 Typing Test System provides Cells, Replacement Medium and Test Reagents for the culture, qualitative identification and typing of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from cutaneous or mucocutaneous specimens as an aid in the diagnosis of HSV type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV type 2 (HSV-2) infections. The performance characteristics of this assay have not been established for antiviral therapy, prenatal monitoring or use with cerebral spinal fluid specimens.
Device Story
System uses genetically engineered Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK) cells to culture HSV from patient cutaneous/mucocutaneous specimens. Infected cells express endogenous beta-galactosidase; HSV-1/HSV-2 infection also produces type-specific proteins. Procedure involves specimen inoculation into cell monolayers, incubation, and staining. HSV-1 detected via non-labeled monoclonal antibodies; HSV-2 detected via fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibodies. Results visualized via fluorescence microscopy; blue-stained cells indicate HSV presence. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Output aids physician diagnosis of HSV-1/HSV-2 infections. Benefits include rapid, specific viral identification to guide clinical management.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study across three sites with 719 clinical specimens. Compared subject device to predicate. Results: PPA for HSV isolation 99.6% (250/251); NPA 98.9% (463/468). HSV-2 typing PPA 99.3% (145/146); NPA 94.2% (98/104). HSV-1 typing PPA 100% (32/32); NPA 87.5% (7/8). Analytical studies included reproducibility (100% concordance), limit of detection (comparable to predicate), and specificity (no cross-reactivity with common respiratory viruses or bacteria, except S. aureus protein A binding).
Technological Characteristics
System components: genetically engineered BHK cells, replacement medium, test reagents (Solution 1 fixative, Solution 2T chromogenic/MAb stain, Solution 3 secondary stain). Detection: β-galactosidase enzyme activity (chromogenic) and immunofluorescence (FITC-labeled MAbs). Format: shell vials or multi-well plates. Centrifugation-enhanced inoculation. Manual microscopic examination. No electronic connectivity or software algorithms.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative identification and typing of HSV-1 and HSV-2 from cutaneous or mucocutaneous specimens in patients with clinical suspicion of HSV infection. Not for use in antiviral therapy monitoring, prenatal monitoring, or CSF specimens.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

# I. Device Description:
The ELVIS®HSV ID and $\mathrm{D}^3$ Typing Test System (D $^3$ ELVIS) is comprised of Cells, Replacement Medium and Test Reagents for the culture, qualitative identification and typing of HSV isolated from cutaneous or mucocutaneous specimens collected from patients with clinical suspicion of HSV infection. ELVIS®HSV Cells are genetically engineered Baby Hamster Kidney (BHK) cells, which, when infected with either HSV-1 or HSV-2, are induced to generate and accumulate an endogenous, intracellular bacterial enzyme, $\beta$ -galactosidase. Other viruses within the herpesviridae family (e.g., Varicellazoster) are not capable of inducing the formation of this enzyme. HSV infection of the ELVIS®HSV Cells also results in the formation of HSV-type-specific proteins. The presence of these proteins can be detected microscopically when fluorescent labeled HSV-type-specific antibodies are used.
# J. Substantial Equivalence Information:
Characteristics of the ELVIS®HSV ID and $\mathrm{D}^3$ Typing Test System and the cleared ELVIS®HSV ID/Typing Test System are described in the Table below:

## K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
Not Applicable
## L. Test Principle:
Specimens are inoculated onto the ELVIS®HSV Cells. After an overnight incubation period (17- to 24-hours), the inoculated monolayers are fixed using the supplied ELVIS®HSV Solution 1. The cells are then stained with the supplied ELVIS®HSV Solution 2T, which contains the chromogenic substrate for the induced β-galactosidase enzyme and the MAbs for typing isolates as HSV-1 or HSV-2. Those cells infected with HSV develop an indigo-blue precipitate, while non-infected cells remain colorless. Only monolayers containing the blue precipitate are examined for the presence of fluorescent cells. Monolayers containing fluorescent cells are reported as positive for HSV-2. Monolayers containing no fluorescent cells are rinsed and stained with the supplied ELVIS®HSV Solution 3. After a brief rinse step, the monolayers are examined for fluorescent cells. Monolayers containing fluorescent cells are reported as positive for HSV-1. Monolayers containing no fluorescent cells after staining with ELVIS®HSV Solution 3 are reported as positive for HSV, but not typeable.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
**a. Precision/Reproducibility:**
A study was undertaken to demonstrate the reproducibility of HSV identification and typing results obtained with the ELVIS HSV ID and D³ Typing Test System.
**A. Study Design**
Ten panels of frozen virus suspensions were created for each testing site to stain and interpret. The vial number of each panel member was staggered for each scheduled run, such that the end-user did not come to expect a certain result for each vial number after the first run. Each panel was inoculated and stained once according to the ELVIS® HSV ID and D³ Typing Test System instructions for use. Two panels per day were tested on separate plates for 5-days (10 total runs). Testing was completed at each site on non-consecutive days over a 10-day period. Positive and negative control wells were
{3}
inoculated and stained according to the instructions for use and the results recorded with each run.
## Description of Panel Members:
| Panel Member | Description |
| --- | --- |
| | |
| HSV-1 low level | SF029* lab adapted QC strain; 200 TCID_{50}/mL |
| HSV-1 high level | SF029 lab adapted QC strain; 1000 TCID_{50}/mL |
| HSV-2 low level | SF028† lab adapted QC strain; 200 TCID_{50}/mL |
| HSV-2 high level | SF028 lab adapted QC strain; 1000 TCID_{50}/mL |
| Negative | EMEM with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum |
*Isolate confirmed as HSV-1 by 2 FDA cleared IVD devices
†Isolate confirmed as HSV-2 by 2 FDA cleared IVD devices
Panel members were manufactured by diluting high-titered master stocks. The dilutions were made with the same lot of EMEM with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum used as the negative control. These dilutions were frozen at -70°C and sent to the testing labs. The dilution’s titer was confirmed pre- and post freezing and found to fall within the expected infectivity range for the study: low level should exhibit less than 10% of the cells showing fluorescence; high level should exhibit greater than 10% but less than 50% of the cells showing fluorescence.

d. Detection limit:
Detection limit of the subject and predicate devices were determined using the ELVIS® HSV cell culture system. Analytical detection limits for HSV-1 and HSV-2 are reported in the table below as numbers of blue staining cells per cell monolayer. Each master stock (~1e7-TCID50 per mL) virus preparation underwent a series of ten-fold dilutions, which were subsequently inoculated into a 96-well ELVIS® HSV cell culture plate. The plates were centrifuged at 700 x g for 60 minutes, and then incubated at 35°C to 37°C for 17-hours. Each well was stained with the subject and predicate devices then examined at
{5}
200X magnification and the number of blue staining cells counted. The table below lists the results for each virus strain tested.

* Turbidity or a color change to yellow indicates possible bacterial contamination and may render a test result unreliable, due either to a technical contamination during the culture setup or to a contaminated specimen. We recommend the original specimen be filtered and re-cultured.
† Light background fluorescent staining may occur with specimens contaminated with *Staphylococcus aureus* strains containing large amounts of protein A. Protein A binds to the Fc portions of the conjugated antibodies. Such binding can be distinguished from viral

antigen binding on the basis of morphology, e.g., S. aureus-bound fluorescence appears as small (~1 micron diameter), bright dots.

## 2. Comparison studies:
**Method comparison with predicate device:**
Studies were performed at three locations using 735 specimens submitted, April through May, 2009, for HSV culture. The number of specimens cultured at each of the three sites: Study site 1 - 299 specimens; Study site 2 - 136 specimens; and Study site 3 - 300 specimens. The specimens were cultured in duplicate and stained concurrently with both devices. The data generated by each site was similar and has been combined for presentation. Of these 735 specimens, 16 were excluded from the final analysis for the reasons listed in the table below.

Shell Vial versus Multi-Well Plate Method Comparison Data for the ELVIS® HSV ID and D3 Typing System:
Each master stock (~5e6-TCID $_{50}$ per mL) virus preparation was diluted to an inoculum titer of $\sim 100$ -TCID $_{50}$ per mL. Three wells of a 24-well
ELVIS® HSV cell culture plate and three shell vials with coverslips were inoculated with 1-mL inoculum per isolate. The cultures were centrifuged at $700\mathrm{~xg}$ for 60 minutes, and then incubated at $35^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for 17-hours. Each well was stained with the subject device then examined at 200X magnification and the number of blue staining cells and fluorescent plaques counted. The table below lists the virus along with each well's counts.

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.
