Indications for Use
DAT Oral Fluid Amphetamine (OFAMP) is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative and semiquantitative detection of amphetamine in human oral fluid at a cutoff concentration of 120 ng/mL in neat oral fluid. The specimen must be collected exclusively with the Intercept® Oral Specimen Collection Device. Semiquantitative test results may be obtained that permit laboratories to assess assay performance as part of a quality control program and to estimate a dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as LC/MS/MS. DAT Oral Fluid Amphetamine provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Chromatography/mass spectrometry is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used. The Oral Fluid DAT Control Set B is for use as assayed controls with the DAT Oral Fluid assays on automated clinical chemistry analyzers for human oral fluid samples collected with the Intercept Oral Specimen Collection Device. The Oral Fluid DAT Qual Cal B calibrators are designed for the calibration of oral fluid assays for drugs of abuse on automated clinical chemistry analyzers for human oral fluid samples collected with the Intercept® Oral Specimen Collection Device. The Oral Fluid DAT SQ Cal B calibrators are designed for the calibration of oral fluid assays for drugs of abuse on automated clinical chemistry analyzers for human oral fluid samples collected with the Intercept Oral Specimen Collection Device.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic assay for amphetamine detection in human oral fluid; utilizes Kinetic Interaction of Microparticles in Solution (KIMS) technology. Input: oral fluid sample collected via Intercept® device. Principle: competitive immunoassay where drug in sample competes with drug-conjugate for antibody-bound microparticles; inhibition of particle aggregation measured via absorbance changes. Output: qualitative or semiquantitative concentration relative to cutoff. Used in clinical laboratories on automated chemistry analyzers; operated by laboratory technicians. Results are preliminary; require confirmation via LC/MS/MS. Benefits: rapid screening for drugs of abuse; aids clinical decision-making when combined with professional judgment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of analytical performance data including precision (CLSI EP5-A2 protocol), linearity, analytical specificity (cross-reactivity and interference testing), and method comparison studies. Method comparison against LC/MS/MS (n=80) showed high agreement (positives 98-100%, negatives 86-100%) across qualitative and semi-quantitative modes.
Indicated for the qualitative and semiquantitative detection of amphetamine in human oral fluid at a 120 ng/mL cutoff. For prescription use only; not for point-of-care settings. Requires Intercept Oral Specimen Collection Device. Not intended to distinguish between abused drugs and prescribed medications.

L. Test Principle:
The assay is based on the kinetic interaction of microparticles in a solution (KIMS) as measured by changes in light transmission. In the absence of sample drug, soluble drug conjugates bind to antibody-bound microparticles, causing the formation of particle aggregates. As the aggregation reaction proceeds in the absence of sample drug, the absorbance increases. When an oral fluid sample contains the drug in question, this drug competes with the drug derivative conjugate for microparticle-bound antibody. Antibody bound to sample drug is no longer available to promote particle aggregation, and subsequent particle lattice formation is inhibited. The presence of sample drug diminishes the increasing absorbance in proportion to the concentration of drug in the sample.
The Intercept® Oral Specimen Collection Device contains a preservative buffer that dilutes the neat oral fluid sample. The calibrator and control levels are set at diluted levels so that sample absorbance values can be compared directly to the absorbance values of the calibration curve. The assay result is reported as a positive or negative result relative to the neat oral fluid cutoff of 120 ng/mL.
NOTE: To correlate a semi-quantitative Intercept® result from the assay or the associated LC/MS/MS confirmation result to a neat oral fluid value, the result from the Intercept sample should be multiplied by a factor of 3.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
All analytical performance data was collected on human oral fluid samples collected with the Intercept Oral Specimen Collection Device and analyzed on the Roche MODULAR P analyzer. The Intercept collection device includes a diluent that results in a dilution of approximately 1/3. The assay cannot be used to measure undiluted (neat) samples. Analyte concentrations refer to the neat oral fluid concentration, unless otherwise noted.
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Two studies were performed with the assay to evaluate precision.
In the first study, a d-amphetamine solution was added to each of 9 samples which were obtained from a human oral fluid pool of samples collected with the Intercept® Oral Specimen Collection Device to achieve concentrations at approximately -100%, -75%, -50%, -25%, 0%, +25%, +50%, +75%, and +100% of the cutoff calibrator value. The samples were tested for precision in qualitative and semiquantitative modes. Following a CLSI (EP5-A2) precision protocol, samples were tested in 2 replicates per run, 2 runs per day for 21 days, total n = 84. One lot each of reagent, calibrator, and control were used during the study and nine calibrations were performed during the study.

In the second study, a d-amphetamine solution was added to neat human oral fluid sample pools at concentrations of 60, 90, 150, and 180 ng/mL. Each spiked sample pool was then processed through each of 21 Intercept® Devices to achieve final concentrations at approximately -50%, -25%, +25%, and +50% of the cutoff calibrator value. The intra-assay precision of the samples, including the processing of the samples through the collection device was then tested in qualitative and semiquantitative modes with the Oral Fluid Amphetamine assay.

## b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
To assess recovery, aliquots of a neat OF pool were spiked with d-amphetamine at concentrations of: 0, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240, 480, and
{7}
960 ng/mL. Each level was processed through 2 separate Intercept collection devices. The diluted sample from both Intercept devices was then analyzed once in semi-quantitative mode. The data below was analyzed with one calibration using one lot of reagent.
Results were as follows:
| Spiked Neat Concentration (ng/mL) | Recovery (%) |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | n/a |
| 60 | 126.0 |
| 90 | 121.0 |
| 120 (cutoff) | 123.3 |
| 150 | 123.4 |
| 180 | 134.3 |
| 240 | 130.0 |
| 480 | 103.7 |
| 960 | 100.5 |
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The assay is calibrated against d-amphetamine.
Calibrators and control materials are specified in the labeling but are supplied separately from the reagents. For the qualitative assay, only CAL 2 (40 ng/mL) is required. For the semi-quantitative assay, six levels of calibrator material, ranging in concentration from 0 to 320 ng/mL are required. Calibrators and controls consist of a synthetic oral fluid matrix spiked with known concentrations of d-amphetamine.
The concentration of amphetamine in the calibrators and controls is verified by LC/MS/MS.
The open vial stability claim for calibrators and controls is 20 days after opening when stored at 2–8° C. The closed vial stability claim for calibrators and controls is one year from the time of manufacture when stored at 2–8° C.
The sponsor’s stability protocols were reviewed and found to be acceptable.
d. Detection limit:
Performance at low drug concentrations in the semi-quantitative mode was characterized by determination of recovery (see section b above).
{8}
e. Analytical specificity:
The sponsor performed analytical specificity studies on four categories of potential interferents: structurally related substances, structurally unrelated substances, substances endogenous to oral fluid, and food and dental substances.
Cross Reactivity to Structurally Related Compounds
Cross-reactivity was evaluated by spiking various concentrations of similarly structured drug compounds into a drug-free oral fluid pool collected with the Intercept Oral Fluid Specimen Collection Device. By analyzing various concentration of each compound the sponsor determined the concentration of the drug that produced a response approximately equivalent to the cutoff concentration of the assay. Results of those studies appear in the table below:
| Drug compound | Approximate Percent Cross-reactivity |
| --- | --- |
| para-Methoxyamphetamine (PMA) | 113 |
| Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) | 61 |
| Benzodioxolylbutanamine (BDB) | 22.86 |
| l-amphetamine | 2.35 |
| Paramethoxymethamphetamine (PMMA) | 0.91 |
| Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) | 0.28 |
| Methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA) | 0.25 |
| d-Methamphetamine | 0.20 |
| Phentermine | 0.20 |
| Phenylpropanolamine | 0.14 |
| Tyramine | 0.10 |
| l-Methamphetamine | 0.08 |
| Methylbenzodioxolylbutanamine (MBDB) | 0.05 |
| d-Pseudoephedrine | 0.02 |
{9}
No cross-reactivity was detected for d-Ephedrine, l-Ephedrine, or Phendimetrazine when tested at a concentration of 10,000 ng/mL.
## Interference from Structurally Unrelated Compounds
Potential interference from structurally unrelated compounds was tested in both semi-quantitative and qualitative mode by spiking the potentially interfering compound into pools of human oral fluid collected with the Intercept Oral Fluid Specimen Collection Device. Both a positive concentration (+50% of the cutoff) and a negative concentration (-50% of the cutoff) of amphetamine were evaluated. All potential interferents were tested at a concentration of 10,000 ng/mL.

No negative or positive interference was seen in this study.
## Interference from Endogenous Interferents and pH
Potential interference from substances endogenous to oral fluid were tested in both semi-quantitative and qualitative mode by spiking the potentially interfering substance into pools of human oral fluid collected with the Intercept Oral Fluid Specimen Collection Device. Both a positive concentration (+50% of the cutoff) and a negative concentration (-50% of the cutoff) of amphetamine were evaluated.
The following potential endogenous interferents were spiked into the negative and positive oral fluid samples at the noted concentrations. No negative or positive interference was seen in this study.
| Compound | Concentration Tested | Approximate Neat Concentration |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Albumin | 5 mg/mL | 15 mg/mL |
| Salivary α-Amylase | 833 U/mL | 2499 U/mL |
| Ascorbic Acid | 10 mg/mL | 30 mg/mL |
| Bilirubin | 50 μg/mL | 150 μg/mL |
| Hemoglobin | 1 mg/mL | 3 mg/mL |
| IgA | 0.33 mg/mL | 0.99 mg/mL |
| IgG | 0.17 mg/mL | 0.51 mg/mL |
| IgM | 0.033 mg/mL | 0.099 mg/mL |
An additional study was performed in which samples containing amphetamine at +50% and -50% of the cutoff with pH ranging from 2.0 to 8.5 were tested. All of the samples above the cutoff read positive and all of the samples below the cutoff read negative.
## Interference from Food and Dental Products
The following potential interferents were evaluated by spiking into oral fluid samples collected with the intercept device: Alcohol (ethanol), Antiseptic Mouthwash, Baking soda, Whole blood, Cough Syrup, Cranberry juice, Hemoglobin, Hydrogen peroxide, Orange juice, Sodium chloride, Sugar, Toothpaste, and Water. None of these substances caused positive or negative interference.
The following potential interferents, which are either consumed or placed in the mouth, were evaluated by asking participants to consume or use the specific substance, after which oral fluid samples were collected and
13
{13}
spiked with amphetamine at concentrations of cutoff – 50% and cutoff + 50%: Antacid, Chewing tobacco, Cigarettes, Chewing gum, Cola, Hard candy, and Tooth whitening strips. None of these substances caused positive or negative interference when oral fluid samples were collected at least 10 minutes after consumption or use, as specified in the labeling for the collection device.
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.
f. Assay cut-off:
Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentration appears in the precision above.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Two method comparison studies were performed. In the first study, 19 positive and 21 negative samples were analyzed. In order to evaluate the performance of the entire system, three measurements were taken on each specimen: the LC/MS/MS concentration of the neat sample, the LC/MS/MS concentration of the diluted Intercept sample, and the immunoassay concentration of the diluted Intercept sample.
Sample description: clinical oral fluid samples
Number of study sites: one
Description of the site: manufacturer's facility
Type of study site: manufacturer's staff
Operator description: manufacturer's staff
Number of instruments used: one
The LC/MS/MS values of the neat and diluted samples confirmed the dilution ratio of approximately 1/3. When the LC/MS/MS values of the neat oral fluid samples were compared to the immunoassay values, the following results were obtained. Note: The values obtained in this study were collected from samples containing amphetamine prior to the collection step. Therefore the results reflect the performance of the entire system including the collection step.

In the second study, 40 negative and 40 positive samples were analyzed. These included four negative near cutoff samples and four positive near cutoff samples.
Note: this study was performed on samples already collected with the Intercept collection device. Therefore the results below do not reflect any inaccuracy inherent in the collection process itself. When the LC/MS/MS values of the diluted samples were compared to the immunoassay values, the following results were obtained.

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.
