Retrospective clinical samples were used to supplement prospective clinical study data to evaluate the performance of the ProFAST+ Assay for seasonal H1, H3, and 2009 H1N1 influenza subtypes due to low prevalence of these viruses during the prospective study period.
Retrospective clinical performance evaluation; Study Period: January - March 2008, January - November 2009, and March 2010
Symptomatic individuals suspected of respiratory infection; Sample Size: 160; Number of Sites: 2
Composite comparator/reference method (FDA cleared ProFlu+ Assay and subtype-specific RT-PCR followed by bi-directional sequencing)
Percent Positive Agreement and Percent Negative Agreement
Indications for Use
The ProFAST™+ Assay is a multiplex Real Time RT-PCR in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and discrimination of seasonal Influenza A/H1, seasonal Influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 Influenza viral nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This assay targets conserved regions of the Hemagglutinin (HA) gene for seasonal Influenza A/H1, seasonal Influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, respectively. This assay is not intended to detect Influenza B or Influenza C Viruses. A negative ProFAST+ Assay result is a presumptive negative result for Influenza A. These results should be confirmed by an FDA cleared nucleic acid-based test (NAT) detecting Influenza A. Negative results do not preclude Influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.

{1}------------------------------------------------
## PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ProFAST+ Assay enables detection and discrimination of Influenza A Virus subtypes: seasonal H1, seasonal H3, and 2009 H1N1.
An overview of the procedure is as follows:
- 1. Collect nasopharyngeal swab specimens from symptomatic patients using a polyester, ravon, or nylon tipped swab and place into viral transport medium (refer to Materials Required but not Provided section of this Instruction for Use).
- 2. Add an Internal Control (IC) to every sample to monitor for inhibitors present in the specimens.
- 3. Perform isolation and purification of nucleic acids using a MagNA Pure LC Instrument (Roche) and the MagNA Pure Total Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Roche) or a NucliSENS easyMAG System (bioMérieux) and the Automated Magnetic Extraction Reagents (bioMérieux).
- 4. Add purified nucleic acids to the ProFAST+ Supermix along with enzymes included in the ProFAST+ kit. The ProFAST+ Supermix contains target-specific oligonucleotide primers and probes. The primers are complementary to conserved regions of the Hemagglutinin (HA) gene for seasonal influenza A/H1, seasonal influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus (swine-origin), respectively. The probes are dual-labeled with a reporter dye and a quencher dye (see table below).
- 5. Perform reverse transcription of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) and subsequent amplification of DNA in a Cepheid SmartCycler II instrument. In this process, the probe anneals specifically to the template followed by primer extension and amplification. The ProFAST+ Assay is based on Taqman chemistry, which utilizes the 5' - 3' exonuclease activity of the Taq polymerase to cleave the probe thus separating the reporter dye from the quencher. This generates an increase in fluorescent signal upon excitation from a light source. With each cycle, additional reporter dye molecules are cleaved from their respective probes, further increasing fluorescent signal. The amount of fluorescence at any given cycle is dependent on the amount of amplification products present at that time. Fluorescent intensity is monitored during each PCR cycle by the real-time instrument.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
### Clinical Performance
The clinical performance of the ProFAST+ Assay was established during prospective studies at 4 U.S. clinical laboratories. NP swab samples were collected and tested at three U.S. clinical laboratories during December 2009 thru May 2010. Due to the absence of seasonal (HINI or H3N2) and 2009 H1N1 Influenza A during the typical 2009-2010 winter season, prospectively collected archived samples were also included in the prospective studies. These samples were collected from January - March, 2008, February - March, 2009 and October - November, 2009, and tested at two U.S. clinical laboratories. All specimens used in the study meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria represented excess, remnants of nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens that were prospectively collected from symptomatic individuals suspected of respiratory infection, and were submitted for routine care or analysis by each site, and that otherwise would have been discarded.
Demographic details for the patient population included in the prospective study are summarized in the following table.
| Sex | Number of Subjects |
|---------------|--------------------|
| Female | 439 (52.1%) |
| Male | 403 (47.9%) |
| Age | |
| ≤ 5 years | 439 (52.1%) |
| 6 - 21 years | 184 (21.9%) |

Gender and Age Demographic Detail for ProFAST+ Prospective Study
Performance of the ProFAST+ Assay was assessed and compared to the composite comparator/reference method of the FDA cleared ProFlu+ Assay and individual well characterized Influenza A subtype specific RT-PCR assays followed by bi-directional sequencing. The sequencing assays targeted different regions of the hemagglutinin gene than the ProF AST+ Assay and were specific for each of the Influenza A subtypes (A/H1, A/H3, and A/2009 HIN1). "True" seasonal A/H1, A/H3 or A/2009 H1N1 RNA positives, were considered as any sample that was tested positive for Influenza A by the ProFlu+ Assay, and had bidirectional sequencing data meeting pre-defined quality acceptance criteria, for both the forward and the reverse sequences that matched seasonal A/H1, A/H3, and A/2009 H1N1 sequences deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), respectively, with acceptable E-values. "True" seasonal A/H1, A/H3 or A/2009 H1N1 RNA negatives were considered as any sample that was tested negative for Influenza A by the ProFlu+ Assay IVD, or any sample that was tested positive for Influenza A by the ProFlu+ Assay IVD, but was tested negative by the respective Influenza A subtype specific RT-PCR assay followed by bi-directional sequencing. Nucleic acid extractions on the clinical samples were carried out using either the Roche MagNA Pure LC system or the bioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG during the clinical study.
{3}------------------------------------------------
A total of 874 prospective NP swab specimens were initially included in the prospective clinical trial. Thirty two (32) samples were excluded from the prospective clinical study data analysis because they remained "Unresolved" after repeat testing for either the ProFlu+ Assay (comparator assay), or the ProFAST+ Assay, or both assays, resulted in a total 842 eligible prospective specimens to be included in the prospective clinical study data analysis.
Of the prospective specimens run using the ProFAST+ Assay, 98.9% (864/874) of these specimens were successful on the first attempt. The remaining 10 (10/874 = 1.1%) gave "Unresolved" results on the first attempt. Unresolved results occur when the sample is negative for all three Influenza A subtype markers and the Internal Control, indicating potentially PCRinhibiting samples. Of the 10 "Unresolved" specimens on the first attempt with sufficient nucleic acid for retest, only 50.0% (5/10) gave a valid result on the second attempt (3 from Site 1, 1 from site 2, and 1 from Site 3). The remaining 5 were "Unresolved" on the second attempt.

## Reproducibility
The reproducibility of the ProFAST+ Assay was evaluated at 3 laboratory sites. Reproducibility was assessed using a panel of 18 simulated samples that included medium positive, low positive (near the assay limit of detection, ≥ 95% positive), and high negative (below the assay limit of detection, < 5% positive) samples for each of the three Influenza A subtypes detected by the assay. Panels and controls were tested at each site by 2 operators for 5 days. Nucleic acid extraction was carried out using either the Roche MagNA Pure LC System or the bioMérieux NucliSENS easyMAG System. The overall percent agreement with the expected result for the ProFAST+ Assay was 99.7%.

# Indication for Use
### 510(k) Number (if known): K101855
Device Name: ProFAST+TM Assay
Indication For Use:
The ProFAST™+ Assay is a multiplex Real Time RT-PCR in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection and discrimination of seasonal Influenza A/H1, seasonal Influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 Influenza viral nucleic acids isolated and purified from nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens from human patients with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection in conjunction with clinical and epidemiological risk factors. This assay targets conserved regions of the Hemagglutinin (HA) gene for seasonal Influenza A/H1. seasonal Influenza A/H3 and 2009 H1N1 Influenza Virus, respectively. This assay is not intended to detect Influenza B or Influenza C Viruses.
A negative ProFAST+ Assay result is a presumptive negative result for Influenza A. These results should be confirmed by an FDA cleared nucleic acid-based test (NAT) detecting Influenza A.
Negative results do not preclude Influenza virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.
If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent Influenza viruses and sent to state or local health department for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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. 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.
