The Randox Laboratory Ltd. Benzodiazepine Assay is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of Benzodiazepines in human urine. The cut off for both the qualitative and semi quantitative modes of the assay is 200ng/ml for oxazepam. The Randox Benzodiazepine Assay has been developed for use on the Rx series analyzers, which includes the Rx Daytona and the Rx Imola. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for prescription use only. The semi-quantitative mode is for purpose of (1) enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as GCMS Or (2) permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography /mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive. The Randox Multidrug Calibrator Set consists of liquid calibrators containing Oxazepam. There are 5 levels of calibrator. They have been developed for use in the calibration of Benzodiazepines (Oxazepam) assays on the RX series analyzers, which includes the Rx Daytona and Rx Imola. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for prescription use only. The Randox Multidrug Controls, level 1 and 2 are liquid controls containing Oxazepam. There are 2 levels of controls. They have been developed for use in the quality control of Benzodiazepine assays, on the RX series analyzers, which includes the Rx Daytona and the Rx Imola. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for prescription use only.
Device Story
Randox Benzodiazepine Assay is an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for human urine; detects benzodiazepines using a 200 ng/mL oxazepam cutoff. Operates on Rx Daytona and Rx Imola analyzers; utilizes competitive binding between sample drug and oxazepam-labeled G6PDH for anti-oxazepam antibodies. Enzyme activity is inhibited by antibody binding; free drug in sample displaces labeled enzyme, increasing G6PDH activity measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm via NAD to NADH conversion. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Provides preliminary results; semi-quantitative mode assists in specimen dilution for GC/MS confirmation and quality control. Results require clinical interpretation and professional judgment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Performance was established via bench testing, including precision studies (intra-assay and between-run over 20 days), linearity, and interference testing per CLSI EP7-A2. Method comparison was conducted using 80 clinical urine samples compared against GC/MS, demonstrating high agreement. Analytical specificity was evaluated against structurally related and unrelated compounds.
Technological Characteristics
Liquid, ready-to-use two-reagent immunoassay. Reagents contain mouse monoclonal anti-oxazepam antibody, G6PDH, NAD, and stabilizers.

L. Test Principle:
The Randox Laboratory Ltd. Benzodiazepine Assay is an 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 oxazepam-labeled G6PDH 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 oxazepam-labeled G6PDH exhibits its maximal enzyme activity. The G6PDH activity is measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm because of conversion of NAD to NADH.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
{3}
Precision was determined by spiking oxazepam into drug free urine at various concentrations (-100%, -75%, -50%, -25%, +25%, at cutoff, +50%, +75% and +100% of the cut-off). Concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS. Testing for the intra-assay was performed once a day for 20 days. The between run testing was performed in replicate twice a day for 20 days. The qualitative and semi-quantitative results are presented below:

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The assay linearity was determined by testing the recoveries of a series of samples diluted from a high concentration oxazepam sample. A high urine sample containing around $1000\mathrm{ng / mL}$ oxazepam was serially diluted with analyte-free urine and tested by 3 replicates in semi-quantitative mode. The results were averaged and compared to the expected result and the percent recovery was calculated. Results are presented in the tables below:

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability and value assignment
The 5 levels calibrator (~0 ng/mL, 100 ng/mL, 200 ng/mL, 300 ng/mL, 1000 ng/mL) and 2 levels control (150 ng/mL and 250 ng/mL) materials are both traceable to master lots that have been GC/MS quantified. The master lots were made by spiking oxazepam into a human urine matrix. Oxazepam is supplied by Cerilliant Corporation, the accuracy of which is ensured by purity determination (GC/FID, HPLC and NMR) 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 were performed for the assay, controls and calibrators. The acceptance criteria were found to be adequate. The Randox Benzodiazepine assay reagents, controls and calibrators are stable for 12 months when stored unopened at 2 – 8° C and 28 days on-board at approximately 10°C.
d. Detection limit:
Performance at low drug concentrations in the semi-quantitative assay was characterized by determination of recovery (see section b above).
e. Analytical specificity:
The Randox Laboratory Ltd. Benzodiazepine Assay was evaluated for interference according to the CLSI Guideline EP7-A2 recommendations. These studies were performed by spiking structurally related and unrelated compounds into drug-free and drug-containing urine samples. Drug-containing urine samples were tested at two different concentrations, +25% and -25% of the cut-off concentration of 200 ng/mL. Drug-free urine samples were used as controls. % cross-reactivity was calculated using the cross-reactant concentration that gives a reaction absorbance which matches the reaction absorbance obtained by the cut-off calibrator. The cut-off calibrator concentration divided by the cross-reactant concentration that achieved the matching reactant absorbance x 100% gives the % cross reactivity. These studies were performed on both, the Rx Daytona and Rx Imola analyzers. Similar results were obtained with both analyzers and in both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes. The percent cross-reactivity of the tested compounds are presented below:

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.
