L. Test Principle:
The Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Model GM550 uses electrochemical methodologies. The system quantitatively measures blood glucose levels using an amperometric method, which involves detecting the current produced from glucose oxidation. The electrons generated during this reaction are transferred from the blood to the electrodes. The magnitude of the resultant current is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the specimen and the signal is converted into a readout displayed on the meter.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The within-run precision was tested using venous blood samples spiked to three different glucose concentrations. Each sample was tested in ten replicates with two test strip lots and five glucose meters, for a total of 50 measurements per meter, per level. Results are summarized in the following tables:

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
To determine the linearity of the candidate device, venous blood samples with fourteen different blood glucose levels, including samples below and above measuring range, with the hematocrit between 35% and 50%, were tested with two lots of test strips (lot #1 and lot #2), on the Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring System, Model GM550 glucose meter in replicates of four. The YSI 2300 glucose analyzer was used as the reference method. The measuring range of the device is 20 to 600 mg/dL.
Linear Regression Analysis:
Lot 1: y = 1.0036x - 1.2669, r² = 0.9993
Lot 2: y = 1.0044x - 1.6563, r² = 0.9992
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The method comparison was performed using the proposed device and a laboratory analyzer.
The stability of the Rightest GS550 blood glucose test strips was demonstrated by real-time stability studies. The YSI 2300 was used as a reference method. The unopened shelf life, currently in progress, is 12 months and the open-vial stability is 6 months at the recommended storage temperatures of 39°F to 86°F.
Value assignment for use of the control solutions with the Rightest GS550 blood glucose test strips is based on measurements using the YSI 2300 reference method after calibration with YSI 2747 calibrator solution (NIST SRM #917b Clinical Dextrose). The values for the Control Solutions are assigned by repeat analysis using three different lots of GS550 test strips and ten Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems, Model GM550 meters. The mean and standard deviation are used to establish the acceptable range for the strips. The range for each control solution is provided in the labeling.
Stability characteristics of the Rightest Control Solutions were determined using real-time studies. The unopened shelf-life is 24 months and the open vial stability is 90 days at the recommended storage of 39°F to 86°F.
d. Detection limit:
The measuring range of the system is 20 to 600 mg/dL. This range was verified by the linearity study above. For values below 20 mg/dL the meter reads 'LO'. For values above 600 mg/dL the meter reads 'HI'.
e. Analytical specificity:
A blood sample was collected from a volunteer and separated into aliquots. The glucose levels were adjusted to low, normal and high concentrations by supplementing each sample with a glucose solution. Each potential interfering substance was added to aliquots of the low, normal and high glucose blood samples and
{6}
compared to the same sample without the potential interfering substance (control). The following substances were evaluated: a) exogenous: acetaminophen, ascorbic acid, dopamine, ibuprofen, L-dopa, methyldopa, salicylic acid, tetracycline, tolbutamide; b) endogenous: bilirubin-conjugated, cholesterol, creatinine HCl, triglycerides, uric acid; c) saccharide: maltose, xylose, galactose, lactose. All these compounds at the maximum concentrations specified below did not significantly interfere with the measurements (bias less than $\pm 10\%$ ).

# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
# Method Comparison:
A consumer study was performed with 114 lay-users and a technician to see if glucose readings from the forearm, palm and fingertip were comparable to a laboratory glucose method (Olympus 2700). The lay user population ranged in age, education, and was about equally divided between males and females. The blood samples with glucose concentrations ranging from 40 to $491\mathrm{mg / dL}$ were tested on two Rightest Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems, Model GM550 glucose meters (the proposed device). Five percent of the samples below $50\mathrm{mg / mL}$ were glycolyzed by allowing samples to stay at room temperature and then tested. These measurements were compared to the measurements obtained with the laboratory analyzer method. Distribution of blood glucose concentration across the samples tested was in accordance with the ISO15197. The studies met the ISO 15197 accuracy criteria where ninety-five percent $(95\%)$ of the individual glucose results shall fall within $\pm 15\mathrm{mg / dL}$ of the results at glucose concentrations $< 75\mathrm{mg / dL}$ and within $\pm 20\%$ at glucose concentrations $\geq 75\mathrm{mg / dL}$ . Results are summarized in the following tables:

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.

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.
