The CEDIA® Methamphetamine OFT Assay is intended for use in the qualitative detection of methamphetamine at a cutoff concentration of 120.0 ng/mL in neat oral fluid. The specimen must be collected exclusively with the Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System. The assay is calibrated against d-methamphetamine and performed on the MGC 240. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for clinical laboratory use only. The CEDIA Methamphetamine OFT Calibrators are intended for use in the calibration of d-Methamphetamine when used with the CEDIA Methamphetamine OFT Assay for human oral fluid samples collected with the Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for clinical laboratory use only. The CEDIA Methamphetamine OFT Assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Story
The CEDIA® Methamphetamine OFT Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for clinical laboratory use. It utilizes recombinant DNA technology to produce a bacterial ß-galactosidase enzyme engineered into two inactive fragments (enzyme acceptor and enzyme donor). In the assay, methamphetamine in the oral fluid sample competes with methamphetamine conjugated to the enzyme donor for antibody binding sites. If methamphetamine is present, it binds to the antibody, allowing the inactive enzyme fragments to reassociate and form active enzyme; the active enzyme then cleaves a substrate, producing a color change measured spectrophotometrically. The absorbance change is directly proportional to the drug concentration. The device is used by laboratory technicians on the MGC 240 analyzer. Results provide a preliminary screen for methamphetamine; positive results require confirmation via GC/MS or LC-MS/MS. Clinical decision-making must incorporate professional judgment. The system benefits patients by providing a rapid, standardized method for drug screening in oral fluid.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2 (N=50/level). Method comparison studies performed on 41 and 81 clinical samples against GC/MS/LC-MS/MS reference methods. Analytical specificity tested against structurally related/unrelated compounds, endogenous substances, and common food/dental products. No clinical trials performed.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay using recombinant ß-galactosidase fragments. Analyte detection via spectrophotometric measurement of color change. Requires Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System (absorbent pad with volume adequacy indicator). Calibrated against d-methamphetamine. Performed on MGC 240 clinical chemistry analyzer.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of methamphetamine in neat oral fluid at 120.0 ng/mL cutoff. For use in clinical chemistry laboratories by professional staff. Not for point-of-care settings. Requires Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System and MGC 240 Analyzer.

I. Device Description:
CEDIA® Methamphetamine OFT Assay
The CEDIA® Methamphetamine OFT Assay uses recombinant DNA technology to produce a unique homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system. The assay is based on the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase, which has been genetically engineered into two inactive fragments i.e., enzyme acceptor (EA) and enzyme donor (ED). These fragments spontaneously re-associate to form fully active enzyme that, in the assay format, cleaves a substrate, generating a color change that can be measured spectrophotometrically. In the assay, analyte in the sample competes with analyte conjugated to one inactive fragment of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If
{2}
analyte is present in the sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme Fragments free to form active enzyme.
If analyte is not present in the sample, antibody binds to analyte conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the re-association of inactive $\beta$ -galactosidase fragments, and no active enzyme is formed. The amount of active enzyme formed and resultant absorbance change are directly proportional to the amount of drug present in the sample.
The CEDIA® Methamphetamine OFT Assay consists of separately packaged reagents (R1, R1a, R2, and R2a):
CEDIA® Methamphetamine OFT Reagents

The Oral-Eze Saliva Collection System consists of Oral-Eze saliva collector and collection tube with preservative buffer. Oral-Eze saliva collector consists of an absorbent pad attached to a plastic handle. The saliva collector is provided with a volume adequacy indicator. The plastic handle has a round window where blue color will appear when sufficient volume of oral fluid is collected. Samples are collected by placing the collector pad and plastic shield between lower cheek and gum with the plastic shield facing the cheek. Oral fluid collection is done when blue color appears
{3}
in the window of the handle. The pad is ejected in to the collection tube by placing thumb on the ridges on the handle and pushing the thumb forward. The collection tube is capped and sent to the laboratory for processing and testing.

## L. Test Principle:
Principle of Methamphetamine OFT Assay
Enzyme fragment complementation assays are based on competition between Methamphetamine in the sample and labeled-methamphetamine for a fixed amount of
4
{4}
antibody in the reagent. The presence of Methamphetamine in saliva sample facilitates the association of two inactive β-galactosidase enzyme fragments into an active enzyme complex that hydrolyzes a substrate, generating a color change that can be measured spectrophotometrically.
Specifically, methamphetamine in the saliva sample competes with Methamphetamine conjugated to one inactive fragment of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If methamphetamine is present in the saliva sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme fragments free to form active enzyme. If Methamphetamine is not present in the saliva sample, antibody binds to methamphetamine conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the re-association of inactive β-galactosidase fragments, and no active enzyme complex is formed. The amount of active enzyme formed and resultant absorbance change are directly proportional to the amount of Methamphetamine present in the sample.
The calibrator is set at diluted levels so that sample absorbance values can be compared directly to the absorbance values of the calibration curve. The assay result is reported as a positive or negative result relative to the neat oral fluid cutoff of 120.0 ng/mL.
## Principle of Oral-Eze Saliva Collection System
The Oral-Eze Saliva Collection System contains a preservative buffer that dilutes the neat oral fluid sample. The calibrator levels are set at diluted levels so that sample absorbance values can be compared directly to the absorbance values of the calibration curve. The assay result is reported as a positive or negative result relative to the neat oral fluid cutoff of 120 ng/mL.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
All analytical performance data was collected on neat human oral fluid samples and processed through the Oral-Eze Saliva Collection System and analyzed on the MGC 240 instrument. The Oral-Eze collection device includes a diluent that results in a dilution of approximately 1/3. The assay cannot be used to measure undiluted (neat) samples. Analyte concentrations refer to the neat oral fluid concentration, unless otherwise noted.
#### a. Precision and Reproducibility
Negative neat oral fluid samples were collected and then prepared by spiking methamphetamine at negative, -75%, -50%, -25%, below the cutoff, at the cutoff, and +25%, +50%, +75% and +100% above the cutoff. All spiked neat oral fluid sample concentrations were confirmed by LC-MS/MS. The neat oral fluid samples were processed using the Oral-Eze device to obtain diluted oral fluid samples. The diluted oral fluid samples were confirmed by LC-MS/MS
5
{5}
and tested in the CEDIA Methamphetamine OFT Assay in qualitative mode.
The randomized CLSI (EP5-A2) precision protocol was followed with five replicates of each sample for each run, 2 runs per day for five non-consecutive days, total N= 50/level.
The results are summarized in the table below.
| Analyte | Tested Concentration | Number of determinants | Methamphetamine OFT Assay # Neg / # Pos |

# Shipping stability studies
Sample shipment/travel stability:
Conditions simulating ground shipping, air shipping and various climate conditions (desert, tropical) were tested. Samples spiked at concentrations below the cutoff (-50%) recovered as negative for both the control and shipped samples. Samples spiked at concentrations above the cutoff (+50%) recovered as positive for both the control and shipped samples. The shipping temperature should not exceed >40°C.
d. Detection limit:
Analytical performance of the device around the cutoff is described in the precision section 1.a above.
e. Analytical specificity:
The sponsor performed analytical specificity studies on four categories of potential interferents: structurally related substances, structurally unrelated substances, substances endogenous to oral fluid, and food and dental substances.
# Cross Reactivity to Structurally Related Compounds
Cross-reactivity was evaluated by spiking various concentrations (which could be found in a neat oral fluid sample) of structurally related compounds into drug-free neat oral fluid pool, than added to the oral fluid collection device. By analyzing various concentration of each compound the sponsor determined the concentration of the drug that produced a response approximately equal to the cutoff. Results of those studies appear in the table below.

f. Assay cut-off:
Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentration appears in the precision above.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison:
Two separate studies were conducted. In the first study, MAMP was spiked in to samples that had already been collected through the intercept device. In the second study samples were spiked with MAMP prior to the collection step to reflect the operation of the entire system.
Study 1:
41 unaltered clinical samples were tested in the CEDIA Methamphetamine OFT Assay in qualitative mode. The results were compared to GC/MS results. All samples were confirmed by GC/MS.
Note: The values obtained in this study were collected from samples spiked with MAMP prior to the collection step. Therefore the results reflect the performance of the entire system including the collection step.

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).

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.
