Device Story
The Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D Assay is an in vitro diagnostic kit for quantifying total 25-OH Vitamin D in human serum and plasma. The assay utilizes a competitive binding principle involving enzyme complementation of B-galactosidase. Vitamin D is first dissociated from its serum transporter via an extraction solution. The extracted sample competes with an enzyme donor-25-OH Vitamin D conjugate for binding to Vitamin D binding protein. Higher sample Vitamin D concentrations result in higher B-galactosidase activity. The reaction uses CPRG as a substrate, with product accumulation monitored at 560 nm on a microplate reader. The assay is performed in a clinical laboratory setting by trained personnel. Results are used alongside other clinical data to assess patient Vitamin D status. The kit includes calibrators and controls to ensure assay performance and verify calibration curves.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated per CLSI EP5-A (CV ≤ 10% for most levels). Linearity established per CLSI EP6-A (5.9–120.2 ng/mL). LoB/LoD/LoQ determined per CLSI EP17-A (LoQ 5.9 ng/mL). Interference and cross-reactivity studies performed per CLSI EP7-A2. Method comparison with predicate (n=80) showed correlation coefficient of 0.936. Reference range study conducted on 150 healthy individuals (ages 21-90) across three U.S. regions.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
## DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
The 25-hydroxy (25-OH) Vitamin D assay is based on the principle of x-complementation of the enzyme B-galactosidase and the competition between an enzyme donor-25-OH Vitamin D conjugate, Vitamin D binding protein and the 25-OH Vitamin D content of a serum sample. Samples with higher 25-OH Vitamin D concentrations produce higher ß-galactosidase activities and vice versa. Chlorophenol red-B-D- galactopyranoside (CPRG) is used as the enzyme substrate and the accumulation of the reaction's product (chlorophenol red) is monitored at 560 nm. The 25-OH Vitamin D concentration of a patient sample is proportional to the measured ß-galactosidase activity. The assay consists of a sample extraction step during which Vitamin D is irreversibly dissociated from its serum transporter. Extracted samples are then analyzed on a microplate reader after the sequential addition of three reagents.
25-OH Vitamin D assay calibrator set is intended for use with the Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D assay kit only. Six calibration levels are needed for each run. Calibrators are treated exactly the same as patient samples.
25-OH Vitamin D assay 2-point control set is intended for use with the Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D assay kit only. Controls are treated exactly the same as patient samples. The quality controls assist laboratory users in verification steps ensuring that the assay reagents are functioning correctly. Users are instructed to verify the calibration curve with the controls and run controls each time a new lot of reagents are received.

# PERFORMANCE TESTING SUMMARIES
## Precision Study
Acceptance Criteria: Precision: CV ≤ 10%
The precision of the Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D Microplate Assay is evaluated according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP5-A guideline. Acceptance Criteria: Precision: CV ≤ 10%.
Seven precision levels were used: three serum controls (containing 21.5 ng/mL, 37.0 ng/mL and 60.8 ng/mL) and four serum samples correspond to deficient patients (19.0 ng/mL and 19.4 ng/mL), one sample corresponds to a near cut-off concentration (36.4 ng/mL) and one sample corresponds to an optimum level (43.4 ng/mL).
{4}------------------------------------------------
Furthermore, to test the performance of the assay at the limits of the dynamic range, a severely deficient patient (7.8 ng/mL) and a very high sample (101.2 ng/mL) were subjected to the same precision studies.

| Total SD (ng/mL) | 1.3 | 9.8 |
| Total CV (%) | 16.7% | 9.7% |
## Linearity/Reportable Range
To establish the linearity of the assay, study design was used on the CLSI protocol EP6-A: Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: a Statistical Approach: Approved Guideline.
Eleven levels of linearity were prepared by diluting a serum sample containing 130 ng/mL of 25-OH Vitamin D with a Vitamin D Diluent (Phosphate Buffer Saline supplemented with 9% of Bovine Serum Albumin). Linearity levels were prepared according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP6-A. The samples prepared were tested with the Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D assay, in triplicates. The results were processed using the EP Evaluator Software (Version 8.0) parameterized to an allowable systematic error of 10.8%. The linearity range was found to be 5.9 -120.2 ng/mL.
{5}------------------------------------------------
## LoB/LoD/LoQ
The Limit of Blank (LoB), the Limit of Detection (LoD) and the Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) of the Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D assay on microplate were determined according to CLSI EP17-A: Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation. The following are the limits determined with the Diazyme 25-OH Vitamin D assay method:
LoB = 1.0 ng/mL
LoD = 3.6 ng/mL
LoQ = 5.9 ng/mL

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.

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.
