K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
None were referenced.
L. Test Principle:
The assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with ready-to-use liquid reagent. The assay is based on competition between drug in the sample and drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. In the absence of drug in the sample, the antibody binds the conjugated G6PDH-barbiturates thus the enzyme activity is inhibited. When free drug is present on the sample, the antibody will bind to the free drug and the unbound G6PDH-conjugated drug exhibits its maximal enzyme activity. The G6PDH activity is measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm due to conversion of NAD to NADH by the active enzyme.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
Performance was evaluated on the Rx Daytona™, and Rx Imola™.
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Secobarbital stock solution and a human urine pool were used to prepare samples. Concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS. These samples were tested for precision in qualitative and semi-quantitative modes. Each sample was assayed two times per run, 2 runs per day, for 20 days on both the Imola and Daytona instruments.
Identical results were obtained for semi-quantitative and qualitative results on both the Imola and the Daytona Instruments.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (controls, calibrators, or methods)
Traceability and value assignment
The 4 levels of calibrator and 2 levels of control materials are traceable to master lots that have been GC/MS quantified. The master lots were made by spiking commercially available drug into a human urine matrix. The accuracy of the drug is ensured by spectrophotometric methods and gravimetric preparation using balances calibrated with NIST traceable standards. Each of the Randox calibrator/control level is value assigned using Rx Daytona and Rx Imola. The target value for each level is the median of the observed values.
Stability
Real time stability testing including shelf-life and on-board stability studies for the assay, controls and calibrators for both instruments. Controls and calibrators are stable for 12 months when stored unopened at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and 28 days at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.

d. Detection limit:
Performance at low drug concentration in the semi-quantitative assay was characterized by determination of the lowest concentration of drug that is capable of producing a positive result. This concentration was sufficiently below the claimed cutoff for both instruments.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference and cross-reactivity studies were evaluated in both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes to evaluate potential cross-reactive compounds, potential interfering compounds including structurally related compounds and potentially interfering endogenous compounds.
Cross-reactivity for barbiturates:
The drugs listed in the table below were tested for cross-reactivity with the assay. Drugs were spiked into urine and concentrations were verified by GC/MS. Each sample was evaluated against the cut-off calibrator (200 ng/mL secobarbital) to determine percent cross-reactivity. Results from both instruments are shown below. Some variations in cross-reactivity were observed depending on the assay mode and instrument. The ranges observed across modes and instruments are included in the table:
| Compound | Perents cross-reactivity observed | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Daytona qualitative | Daytona semi-quantitative | Imola qualitative | Imola semi-quantitative |
| Alphenal | 66 | 73 | 66 | 63 |
| Amobarbital | 19 | 18 | 19 | 19 |
| Butabarbital | 24 | 33 | 29 | 29 |
| Hexobarbital | 2 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Pentobarbital | 32 | 32 | 43 | 43 |

| Butalbital | 52 | 51 | 52 | 53 |
| Secobarbital | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
Endogenous compounds
Potential interference from endogenous compounds pH, and specific gravity was assessed by spiking known amounts of potentially interfering substances into urine containing secobarbital concentrations $+/- 25\%$ of the assay cut-off. No interference was observed (in either semi-quantitative or qualitative mode on either instrument) from the substances below at the concentrations shown.

Commonly co-administered prescription and OTC compounds
The potential effect of other compounds on the recovery of barbiturates using the Randox Barbiturates assay was assessed by spiking known amounts of the compounds into urine containing secobarbital at concentrations +/- 25% of the assay cutoff. Compounds were identified by the manufacturer as non-cross-interfering with the assay if the recovery of the samples containing secobarbital at +/-25% of the cutoff recovered within 10% of a sample containing no cross-reactant. No compounds were shown to interfere.
The complete list of co-administered prescription and OTC compounds tested is shown in the package insert. No interference was observed with non-barbiturate compounds.
f. Assay cut-off
The assay is calibrated to a cutoff of 200 ng/mL with secobarbital. See also precision and detection limit sections, above.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Urine samples were obtained from a clinical laboratory where they had been tested by GC/MS for the presence or absence of various barbiturates including butabarbital, butalbital, phenobarbital, and secobarbital. Results are shown in the tables below. For purposes of comparison relative to the 200 ng/mL cutoff for secobarbital, the following adjustment was applied to samples containing other barbiturates, based on the cross-reactivity of each barbiturate:
(GCMS-determined concentration) X (percent cross-reactivity)
= "adjusted concentration"
The table below is based on these adjusted concentrations.

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.
