Wondfo Cannabinoids Urine Test is an immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative determination of Cannabinoids in human urine. The test is available in a cassette format and a strip format. The test has a cutoff of 50 ng/mL of Cannabinoids. It is intended for prescription use and over the counter use. The test provides only preliminary test results. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive.
Device Story
Wondfo Cannabinoids Urine Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for qualitative detection of cannabinoids in human urine. Available in strip or cassette formats. Principle: competitive binding; urine sample migrates via capillary action; mixes with anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody-dye conjugate. If cannabinoids are below 50 ng/mL, conjugate binds to drug-protein conjugate on membrane, producing a colored test line (negative). If cannabinoids are at or above 50 ng/mL, free drug binds conjugate, preventing test line formation (positive). Control line confirms proper wicking. Used in home or clinical settings by patients or professionals. Provides preliminary results; requires GC/MS confirmation. Benefits: rapid, visual screening for drug abuse.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of analytical performance data (precision, specificity, cross-reactivity, and cutoff verification) and a lay-user study. Lay-user study (n=242) demonstrated 95.8% agreement for strip format and 96.7% for cassette format compared to GC/MS. Bench testing confirmed 100% positive agreement and 97.5% negative agreement with GC/MS.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay; utilizes gold chloride, monoclonal antibody-dye conjugate, and anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody. Cassette form factor. Qualitative detection at 50ng/mL cutoff.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of Cannabinoids in human urine at a cutoff concentration of 50ng/mL. Intended for both prescription and over-the-counter use. Provides preliminary results only; requires confirmatory testing (e.g., GCMS).

L. Test Principle:
The Wondfo Biotech Co., Ltd. Cannabinoids is a competitive binding, lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative determination of Cannabinoids and their metabolites in human urine. The test utilizes two formats: cassette and strip. For both formats, the urine is absorbed via capillary action and mixes with the anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody-dye conjugate. It then flows across a pre-coated membrane and if the sample is below the target cut off, the antibody-dye conjugate binds to the drug protein

conjugate immobilized in the test region. This produces a color test line indicating a negative result. When the Cannabinoids level is at or above the target cutoff, the free drug in the sample binds to the antibody-dye conjugate preventing the antibody-dye conjugate from binding to the drug-protein conjugate immobilized in the test region. This prevents the development of a colored line in the test region, indicating a positive result. A control line is also present that appears in the control region to indicate that the test has performed properly.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The precision study was performed by taking negative urine samples and spiking these with 100, 87.5, 75, 62.5, 37.5, 25, 12.5 and 0 ng/ml of cannabinoid, corresponding to ±25, ±50, ±75, and ±100% of the 50 ng/ml cut-off value. Two sets of operators performed the testing (group A ran the strip format and group B ran the cassette format) and the samples were divided into 12 sets of 25 (one set per lot per run for each format). Three lots of the strip and three lots of the cassette formats of the Wondfo Cannabinoids Urine Test were used. Each of three operators tested 2 aliquot at each concentration for each lot per day (2 runs per day for 25 days), resulting in a total of 50 determinations by each operator at each concentration. The operators were blinded. A summary of the results is presented in the tables below.

Accelerated stability was performed at 50°C for 85 days, and the data support a greater than 18 month shelf life. Real time studies were performed by storing three lots of strips and cassettes at 4°C and 30°C. Performance tests were completed at defined intervals and the results support a 23 month shelf life at 4°C and 30°C.
d. Detection limit:
Analytical performance of the device around the cutoff is described in Section f. (Assay cut-off) below.
e. Analytical specificity:
Specificity and cross-reactivity was performed by using three batches of both the strip and cassette formats of the Wondfo Cannabinoid Urine Test. The samples were split into two aliquots and one group of operators ran the strip format on one set of aliquots and a separate group of operators ran the cassette format on the other set of aliquots. Thirty drug-free urine samples were tested and all were found to be negative. Cross-reactivity was determined by spiking several Cannabinoid-related compounds into drug-free urine at three different concentrations and measuring the samples in duplicate using three batches of strips and three batches of cassettes.

The specific gravity of a drug-free urine pool was measured by obtaining urine samples with specific gravities of 1.000-1.035 and spiking with $\pm 50\%$ of the cut-off concentration of Cannabinoid and tested using three batches of strips and three batches of cassettes of the Wondfo Cannabinoid Urine Test. The spiked urines of different specific gravities were tested in duplicate. The results indicate that there is stable performance of the Wondfo Cannabinoid Urine Test when urine has a specific gravity between 1.00-1.035.
f. Assay cut-off:
The assay cut off was investigated by using three batches of both the strip and cassette formats of the Wondfo Cannabinoids Urine Test to test 150 urine samples. These samples came from the Shezhen Drug Addiction Recovery Center for cannabinoids (25 Drug urine samples) and from drug-free urine samples (125 samples) spiked with cannabinoid diluted from the International Drug Standard (Sigma) to concentrations that are plus and minus $25\%$ and $50\%$ of the cutoff concentrations. Drug concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS. Results were read by three laboratory assistants with relevant experience. The cutoff studies were performed by two separate groups of operators (one for the strip format and one for the cassette format). Three operators in each group performed the readings and they were blinded to the sample. Each result was confirmed by at least two assistants.

Both the test and strip formats resulted in a 100% Positive agreement and a 97.5% negative agreement between the Wondfo Devices and the GC/MS method. Additionally, the agreement lay user had 100% positive agreement and 94% negative agreement between the Wondfo Devices and the GC/MS method.
B. A lay-user study was performed to assess the suitability of the device for home use. Six drug-free urine sample pools were spiked with 12.5, 25, 37.5, 62.5, 75, and 87.5 ng/ml of target drug (11-nor-D9-THC-9-COOH) corresponding to ± 25%, ± 50%, ± 75% of the THC cutoff (50 ng/mL), additionally a negative urine pool with no drug was tested. These concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS and aliquoted into 40 individual containers per concentration (20 aliquots per concentration for each strip format). The testing was performed at three sites by 242 blinded consumers divided between three sites. The lay users were chosen from likely intended users at the Shenzhen Drug Addiction Recovery Center, Baiyun Drug Addition Recovery Volunteer Center, and the No. 177 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. Each participant received the package inset in English, 1 sample, and a either test strip or cassette. The lay persons test result was compared to the GC/MS result to demonstrate accuracy by lay-users. The following are the results of the lay-user study pooled together from all three sites for the strip format:

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.
