L. Test Principle:
AST catalyzes the transfer of amino group from aspartate to oxoglutarate during the formation of glutamate and oxaloacetate. Oxaloacetate is reduced to malate by malate dehydrogenase (MHD). During this conversion, an equivalent amount of NADH is oxidized to NAD. The resulting decrease in absorbance at $340\mathrm{nm}$ is directly proportional to the activity of AST in serum.
ISE measurements are based on the potentiometric Nernst Equation principle. Sample is
{8}
diluted with a diluent and aspirated into ion-selective electrodes. The measured potential difference between the reference electrode and the ion specific electrodes is proportional to the logarithm of the concentration of the measured ions.
The ELITech Selectra ProM is based on the colorimetric principle and Lambert Beer's law which relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material through which light is traveling. Sample that contains the analyte being measured is accurately dispensed into an optical clear cuvette and mixed with accurately dispensed reagent. The analyte in the sample will react with the reagent and a change in color will occur. The change in color is directly proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample.

$1^{\mathrm{st}}$ order $\mathrm{y} = 9.44\mathrm{x} + 58.72$
$2^{\mathrm{nd}}$ order $\mathrm{y} = 0.05\mathrm{x}^{2} + 8.88\mathrm{x} + 59.94$
$3^{\mathrm{rd}}$ order $\mathrm{y} = -0.03\mathrm{x}^{3} + 0.58\mathrm{x}^{2} + 6.18\mathrm{x} + 63.20$
The sponsor chose the $3^{\mathrm{rd}}$ order regression because it is significant and the results are shown in the table below:

# Stability
# AST/GOT 4+1 SL
On board stability for the ELITech Clinical Systems AST/GOT was established by real time studies on the ELITech Clinical Systems Selectra ProM. The on-board stability of the reagent is 28 days. The ELITech Clinical Systems AST/GOT is stable until the expiration date printed on the label when stored at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ .
ELITech Clinical systems ISE Reference Solution, ISE Diluent and ISE Calibrators are purchased from a commercial vendor (previously cleared under k945271). ISE Reference Solution and ISE Diluent should be stored at $10 - 30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and ISE Calibrators should be stored at $2 - 30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and should not be frozen. ISE reference solutions and calibrators are stable until the expiration date stated on the label (reference solution is stable for 18 months, diluent is stable for 24 months). Shelf Life of the ISE calibrators is 24 months at $2 - 30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . ISE calibrators are stable for 30 days when stored at $2 - 30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$

after opening. On-board stability of the ISE Reference Solution is 30 days. On-board stability of the ISE Diluent is 3 days.
Control material is purchased from a commercial vendor (previously cleared under k041227). The sponsor claimed the following for stability: Before reconstitution, the shelf-life of the ELITech Clinical Systems Elitrol 1 and Elitrol II is 30 months at 2-8°C. After reconstitution the stability is 12 hours when stored at 15-25°C, 5 days when stored at 2-8°C or 4 weeks (when frozen once) at -25° and -15°C.
Calibrator material is purchased from a commercial vendor (previously cleared under k033501). The sponsor claimed the following for stability: Elical 2 is stable until the expiration date printed on the label when stored at 2-8°C prior to reconstitution. After reconstitution the stability is 8 hours when stored at 15-25°C, 2 days at 2-8°C or 4 weeks (when frozen once) at -25° and -15°C. The labeling stated that the Elical 2 should be stored tightly capped and protected from light when not in use.
## Value Assignment
Elitrol I and II are value assigned using multiple Vital Scientific PRO M analyzers. Each sample is tested in triplicate over several days. The target value of Level I and II are the median of the observed values range. After validation of the target value, a confidence range (high and low values) is then calculated.
Elical 2 is tested against predetermined values on multiple Vital Scientific PRO M using the AST reagent and 2 levels of quality control material. The mean analyte value is calculated and a target value is assigned.
The expected values for the ISE calibrators are determined by analyzing the calibrator in triplicate on multiple ELITech Clinical System Selectra ProM analyzers over several days. The target value of the low and high calibrator is the median of the observed values.
## d. Detection limit:
### ELITech Clinical Systems AST/GOT 4+1 SL
A detection limit study was evaluated according to CLSI EP-7A. The Limit of Blank (LoB) was determined by assaying a blank sample 60 times on the Selectra ProM analyzer. The LoB was determined using the 95% value. The limit of detection (LoD) was determined by assaying 4 low (1.7 U/L) diluted sample pools 60 times on the Selectra Pro M analyzer in one day. The LoD was determining using the median minus the 5th percentile plus the LoB value. The Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) was determined by assaying 4 low (5 U/L) diluted sample pools 15 times on the Selectra Pro M analyzer.
LoB, LoD and LoQ were established using the guideline CSLI. Protocols for

e. Analytical specificity:
# Study Design
Testing for interfering substances was based on CSLI EP-7A. Testing was performed on a minimum of five concentrations for each interfering substance. Samples with increasing amounts of triglycerides (Intralipid®, Bilirubin, Diatobilirubin, Sodium, Pyruvate (AST/GOT 4+1SL) Acetylsalicylate $(\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{K}^{+}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-})$ , and Ascorbic Acid were tested in triplicate and compared to the same sample without the interferent.
The sponsor defined non-significant interference as the highest level tested that does not cause $>10\%$ change between the tested samples and the control sample for AST/GOT 4+1 SL.
The sponsor defined non-significant interference as the highest level tested that does not cause $>2.6\%$ change between the tested sample and the control sample for $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ .
The sponsor defined non-significant interference as the highest level tested that does not cause $>6.2\%$ change between the tested sample and the control sample for $\mathbf{K}^{+}$ .
The sponsor defined non-significant interference as the highest level tested that does not cause $>3.9\%$ change between the tested sample and the control sample for $\mathrm{Cl}^-$ .
AST/GOT 4+1 SL

N. Instrument Name:
Vital Scientific Selectra ProM also trademarked as the Flexor EL 200.
O. System Descriptions:
1. Modes of Operation:
Automated continuous random access analyzer.
2. Software:
FDA has reviewed applicant’s Hazard Analysis and software development processes for this line of product types:
Yes ☐ X ☐ or No ☐
3. Specimen Identification:
{19}
Barcoding or manual entry
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
Samples in sample tubes or sample cups with a tube adaptor are placed into sample tray. Specimens, calibrators and controls are pipetted by a sample arm into a cuvette rotor. ISE samples are diluted in a cuvette and aspirated via a dedicated ISE probe. A pump located on the ISE module pumps the diluted sample from the cuvette into electrodes. A cuvette blank must be conducted every 24 hours. The cuvette rotor must be replaced every 10,000 tests or when the cuvette blank produces a high standard deviation.
5. Calibration:
On demand calibration. It is recommended to perform a calibration and a quality control measurement after installing a new or fresh bottle of reagent. It is recommended to recalibrate ISEs after installing a new vial of ISE reference solution and/or ISE diluent. ISE calibration is required every 4 hours or when quality control results fall outside the established range after replacing electrode, and after ISE cleaning maintenance. ISE calibrators must not be placed on the rotor more than 10 minutes before they are used.
6. Quality Control:
The software contains a quality control program that evaluates control results and determines if they are within specified acceptable limits.
In the labeling the sponsor recommends that control measurements be assayed daily and the frequency depends on the test method, quality control materials should be used in accordance with local, state and/or federal guidelines.

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.
