The CEDIA® Opiate OFT Assay is intended for use in the qualitative determination of opiates at a cutoff of 30.0 ng/mL in neat oral fluid. The specimen must be collected exclusively with the Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System. The assay is calibrated against morphine and performed on the MGC 240. This in vitro diagnostic device is intended for clinical laboratory use only. The CEDIA Opiate 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® Opiate OFT Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for detecting opiates in oral fluid. Input consists of oral fluid collected via the Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System. The assay utilizes recombinant DNA technology involving two inactive fragments of the bacterial enzyme β-galactosidase. In the presence of opiates, the drug competes with enzyme-donor-conjugated drug for antibody binding sites; this allows the inactive enzyme fragments to re-associate into an active enzyme. The active enzyme cleaves a substrate, producing a color change measured spectrophotometrically. The absorbance change is directly proportional to the opiate concentration. The assay is performed on the MGC240 analyzer in a clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results are preliminary and require confirmation by GC/MS or LC-MS/MS. The device aids clinicians in identifying potential opiate use, supporting clinical decision-making when combined with professional judgment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A2; 100% concordance at cutoff +/- 75%. Method comparison studies (n=82 and n=42) against GC/MS and LC-MS/MS showed 97.6% overall concordance. Analytical specificity and interference testing (endogenous/exogenous substances, pH, food/dental products) confirmed no significant interference at +/- 50% of cutoff.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay using recombinant DNA-derived β-galactosidase fragments. Operates via competitive binding principle. Calibrated against morphine. Performed on MGC240 analyzer. Sample matrix: oral fluid collected via Oral-Eze™ Saliva Collection System (absorbent pad with volume adequacy indicator). Spectrophotometric detection.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative determination of opiates in neat oral fluid at 30.0 ng/mL cutoff. For clinical laboratory use only; prescription use only. Not for point-of-care settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An opiate test system is not exempt if it is intended for any use other than employment or insurance testing or is intended for Federal drug testing programs. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9, provided the test system is intended for employment and insurance testing and includes a statement in the labeling that the device is intended solely for use in employment and insurance testing, and does not include devices intended for Federal drug testing programs (*e.g.,* programs run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. military).

## L. Test Principle:
Microgenics CEDIA® Opiate 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. These fragments spontaneously re-associate to form fully active enzyme that, in the assay format, cleave 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 (enzyme donor) of β-galactosidase for antibody binding site. If analyte is present in the sample, it binds to antibody, leaving the inactive enzyme fragment free to form active enzyme. If the analyte is not present in the sample, antibody binds to analyte conjugated on the inactive fragment, inhibiting the re-association of inactive β-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 analyte present in the sample.
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 assay result is reported as a positive or negative result relative to the neat oral fluid cutoff of 30 ng/mL
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
All analytical performance data was collected on human oral fluid samples collected with the Oral-Eze Saliva Collection System and analyzed on the MGC 240 analyzer. The collection device includes a diluent that results in a dilution of approximately 1/3. The assay cannot be used to measure undiluted (neat)
{4}
samples. Analyte concentrations refer to the neat oral fluid concentration, unless otherwise noted.
# a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Negative neat oral fluid samples were collected by spitting into a cup. Testing samples were prepared by spiking morphine into the negative neat oral fluid. The samples were applied onto the pad of Oral-Eze collection device (n=2 pad/level) and eluted following the instruction menu. Precision were evaluated following randomized CLSI (EP5-A2) precision protocol as in study 1.
Note: The values obtained in this study were collected from samples containing opiates prior to the collection step. Therefore the results reflect the performance of the entire system including the collection step.
The results are summarized in the table below:
| Analyte | Concentration of sample | Opiate OFT Assay # Neg / # Pos |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Morphine | Negative | 50 Neg / 0 Pos |
| Morphine | -75% | 50 Neg / 0 Pos |
| Morphine | -50% | 50 Neg / 0 Pos |
| Morphine | -25% | 50 Neg / 0 Pos |
| Morphine | Cutoff | 0 Neg / 50 Pos |
| Morphine | 25% | 0 Neg / 50 Pos |
| Morphine | 50% | 0 Neg / 50 Pos |
| Morphine | 75% | 0 Neg / 50 Pos |
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable. This is a qualitative assay.
# c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
See k101752 decision summary for information on calibrators.
# Reagent stability:
Real time testing is on-going to support the product shelf life of 3 years. The stability protocol was reviewed and found acceptable. The current test results support the stability at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for 24 months. The on board stability of reconstituted reagents is 60 days $(2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ .
# Sample storage and stability:
{5}
The stability of oral fluid samples in the preservative buffer was evaluated in real time. The stability protocol was reviewed and found acceptable. Oral fluid samples in the preservative buffer can be stored at 2-8°C or at room temperature (21-25°C) for 21 days.
## Sample shipment/travel stability:
Conditions simulating ground shipping, air shipping and various climate conditions (desert, tropical) were tested. Neat samples spiked at concentrations below the cutoff recovered as negative for both the control and shipped samples. Samples spiked at concentrations above the cutoff recovered as positive for both the control and shipped samples.
## d. Detection limit:
Analytical performance of the device around the cutoff is described in the precision section 1.a above.
## e. Analytical specificity:
### Cross-reactivity:
Pooled neat drug-free oral fluid samples were collected by spitting into a cup. The cross-reactant solutions were prepared by adding the compounds to neat oral fluid samples at the concentration listed in the table below. The neat oral fluid samples were processed using the Oral-Eze device to obtain diluted oral fluid samples which were tested in the CEDIA Opiate OFT Assay. The table below lists the concentrations of each compound that gave a response approximately equal to the cutoff.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Study 1:
Eighty two unaltered neat oral fluid samples were processed using the Oral-Eze collection device. The diluted oral fluid samples after passing the collection device were tested by the CEDIA Opiate OFT Assay and by the GC-MS method.
Note: this study was performed on samples already collected with the Intercept collection device. When the GC-MS values of the diluted samples were compared to the immunoassay values, the following results were obtained. Therefore the results below do not reflect any inaccuracy inherent in the collection process itself.

| Candidate Device Result | Negative | Less than half the cutoff concentration by GC-MS analysis | Near Cutoff Negative (Between 50% below the cutoff and the cutoff concentration) | Near Cutoff Positive (Between the cutoff and 50% above the cutoff concentration) | High Positive (greater than 50% above the cutoff concentration) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Negative | 33 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 1* | 4 | 36 |
- Discrepant result – The sample contained 9 ng/mL morphine by GC/MS
- * This sample initially tested positive, but was found to be negative when retested
The overall concordance between CEDIA Opiate OFT Assay (not including the collection step) and GC-MS in diluted oral fluid is 97.6%.
## Study 2:
Forty-two natural (unaltered) neat oral fluid samples from rehabilitation clinics were collected. The neat oral fluid samples were processed using the Oral-Eze collection device. Both the neat and diluted oral fluid samples were tested by LC-MS/MS method while only the diluted samples were tested in the CEDIA Opiate OFT Assay.
Note: The values obtained in this study were collected from samples containing opiates prior to the collection step. Therefore the results reflect the performance of the entire system including the collection step.
| Candidate Device Result | Less than half the cutoff concentration by LC-MS/MS analysis | Near Cutoff Negative (Between 50% below the cutoff and the cutoff concentration) | Near Cutoff Positive (Between the cutoff and 50% above the cutoff concentration) | High Positive (greater than 50% above the cutoff concentration) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Negative | 18 | 2 | 1* | 0 |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 3 | 18 |
*Sample was confirmed positive by LC-MS/MS
Discrepant sample:
| Discrepant Sample # | OFT assay (POS/NEG) | Neat Sample LC/MS value (ng/mL) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 21 | Negative | 30.39 |

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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.
