Indications for Use
The Oratect Oral fluid Drug Screen Device is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay device for the qualitative detection of d-Methamphetamine (ME). Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (TH), Cocaine (CO), d-Amphetamine (AM), morphine (OP) and Phencyclidine (PC) in human oral fluid. The Oratect tests detect these drugs at the cutoff concentration listed below. These products are for in vitro diagnostic use and intended for prescription point of care use. The Oratect® Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device provides only preliminary drug test results. A more specific alternative method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Samples for confirmatory testing should be collected with the Oratect Oral Fluid Collection Tube (50 mL polypropylene tube) provided. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated. The tests are not intended to be used in monitoring drug levels. OratectCheck™ Oral Fluid Controls (Negative and Positive controls of the analytes) are available but not supplied with the Oratect® Oral Fluid Drug Screen Devices. The OratectCheck™ Oral Fluid Controls are used as quality control materials with Oratect® Oral Fluid Drug Screen Devices.
Device Story
Oratect is a lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in human oral fluid. Device uses competitive immunoassay principle; presence of analyte produces negative signal. Used at point-of-care by healthcare professionals; provides results in under 15 minutes. Input is oral fluid sample; output is visual interpretation of test lines. Preliminary positive results require confirmation via LC/MS/MS. OratectCheck controls are available for quality monitoring. Device aids clinical decision-making by providing rapid preliminary screening for specific drug analytes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision/reproducibility evaluated at three point-of-care sites by four operators using spiked oral fluid samples across concentrations (negative, cutoff, +/- 25-100%). Method comparison performed against GC/MS/LC-MS/MS reference methods. Results demonstrated high agreement with reference methods. Interference studies confirmed no significant impact from endogenous compounds, pH, or common dietary/hygiene substances.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Uses specific antibodies for d-Amphetamine, Cocaine, d-Methamphetamine, Cannabinoids, Opiates, and PCP. Point-of-care form factor; visual interpretation. No electronic components or software. Cut-off values: Amphetamine/Methamphetamine 50 ng/mL, THC 40 ng/mL, Cocaine 20 ng/mL, Morphine 40 ng/mL, PCP 10 ng/mL.
Indications for Use

K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
None were referenced
L. Test Principle:
The Oratect Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device is based on a competitive immunoassay procedure in which drug derivatives immobilized on the membrane compete with the drug(s) which may be present in oral fluid for limited antibody binding sites on the colored colloidal gold antibody conjugate.
When no drug is present in the sample, the colored colloidal gold antibody conjugate will bind to the drug derivatives on the membrane to form visible bands at specific
{4}
test regions, a negative result. When a sufficient amount of drug is present in the sample, the drug will saturate the antibodies, and the colored colloidal gold conjugate cannot bind to the drug derivatives on the membrane giving a positive result.
The device has an internal process control which indicates that sufficient volume of test sample was applied to the device. Also, the flow of the blue lines indicates that a sufficient amount of oral fluid has been collected.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable, the device is intended for qualitative use.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
There is a blue line located in each test window. The purpose of the blue line is to indicate that a sufficient amount of saliva sample has been collected.
A colored line appearing in the control zone is considered as an internal procedural control. Users are informed not to interpret the test if no red line appears in the control zone.
Positive controls are prepared by spiking synthetic oral fluid matrix with known concentration of drug standards which are traceable to NIST standards. The positive control concentrations are confirmed by LC/MS/MS.
{7}
Negative control is a synthetic oral fluid containing no drug.
Control standards are not supplied with this device but can be purchased separately from Branan Medical Corporation. Users are advised to follow federal, state and local guidelines for QC testing requirements.
## Stability:
Accelerated studies have been conducted for the control material. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims that when stored un-opened at -15 °C, the product is stable until expiration date which is 24 months. Open vial stability is 7 days when stored at 4 °C. Real time studies have been conducted and are on-going.
## Shipping/recovery study:
A shipping study was performed to demonstrate the recovery of drug from oral fluid when collected in the Oratect polypropylene collection tube (provided for confirmation testing) by testing the full range of expected transport conditions (maximum time and temperature) for confirmation testing. Conditions simulating transport to 3 different destination sites with varied weather conditions (2-8°C, room temperature and 40°C) were performed. Negative oral fluid samples in glass bottles were spiked with a single analyte/bottle to concentrations of -50% and +50% of the cutoff. The samples were tested on the Oratect Oral Fluid Drug Screen device and the results were recorded. One (1) ml of each sample was transferred/pippetted into an amber glass vial for testing on the reference method (LC/MS/MS).
Results of the shipping study are shown in the table below:

Potential interference from pH was tested by using human oral fluid controls at drug concentrations of $+ / 25$ and $+ / - 50\%$ of the cutoff. The pH of the samples was adjusted to various pH levels ranging from 4.5-8.5 in 1 pH unit increments. No negative or positive interference from pH was observed.
The following potential interferents were evaluated by spiking into human oral fluid controls having drug concentrations at $+/-25\%$ and $+ - 50\%$ of the cutoff: Alcohol, Mouthwash, MSG, Baking soda, Cough Syrup, Cranberry juice, Salt, Sugar, Toothpaste, Gum, Orange juice, food coloring (red, blue and green), Tea and cola. None of these substances caused positive or negative interference. Prior to the test being administered the donor was instructed not to eat, drink, smoke or chew tobacco. Potential interference from cigarette smoking, was evaluated by asking a participant to smoke a cigarette, after 15 minutes an oral fluid sample was collected and spiked with each drug at concentrations of cutoff $+/-25\%$ and $+/-50\%$ . None of these substances caused positive or negative interference.
There is the possibility that other substances and/or factors not listed above may interfere with the test and cause false results, e.g., technical or procedural errors.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Performance for the Oratect Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device was evaluated at typical point-of-care sites with a total of 3 operators who are typical operators at these sites. Operators collected samples from volunteer donors by swabbing the mouth and testing on the proposed device. Immediately after collecting the sample the volunteer was asked to spit into the confirmation collection tube for testing and comparison to the GC/MS. The operators were only provided the labeling to perform the testing. The results are presented in the table below:
| MET50 | | Negative | Negative (<50% cutoff concentration by GC/MS) | Near cutoff negative (-50% to the cutoff concentration) | Near cutoff positive (cutoff to 50%) | High Positive (>50% cutoff) | % Agreement |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Positive | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3 | 58 | 97.5% |

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.
