Device Story
The ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay is a one-pass, 18-minute automated competitive immunoassay performed on the ADVIA Centaur XP system. It utilizes anti-fluorescein labeled monoclonal antibodies bound to paramagnetic particles, acridium ester-labeled monoclonal antibodies, and fluorescein-labeled Vitamin D analogs. The system measures relative light units (RLUs), which are inversely proportional to the concentration of 25 (OH) vitamin D in the patient sample. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results are used by clinicians alongside other clinical and laboratory data to assess vitamin D sufficiency, helping to identify deficiency, insufficiency, or toxicity. The system includes dedicated calibrators, quality control materials, and master curve materials to ensure assay precision, accuracy, and calibration verification.

L. Test Principle:
The ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay is a one-pass, 18-minute antibody competitive immunoassay that uses an anti-fluorescein monoclonal mouse antibody covalently bound to paramagnetic particles (PMP), an anti-25(OH) vitamin D monoclonal mouse antibody labeled with acridinium ester (AE), and a vitamin D analog labeled with fluorescein. An inverse relationship exists between the amount of vitamin D present in the patient sample and the amount of relative light units (RLUs) detected by the system.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision was evaluated according to the CLSI Document EP5-A2, Evaluation of Precision Performance of Quantitative Measurement Methods. 2 patient samples (~12.0 and 18.0 ng/mL) and 4 medical decision pools (~32.0, 50.0, 55.8 and 132.0 ng/mL) were assayed twice a day in replicates of 4 using 3 lots of reagents on one system for 20 days. These studies were performed by 2 operators. Results are summarized below:
| | Data Points | Mean | Within run | | Between run | | Between day | | Total precision | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| Serum sample 1 | 160 | 11.66 | 0.81 | 7.0 | 0.68 | 5.8 | 0.75 | 6.4 | 1.30 | 11.1 |
| Serum sample 2 | 160 | 18.04 | 1.20 | 6.6 | 0.98 | 5.4 | 0.79 | 4.4 | 1.74 | 9.6 |
| Serum pool 1 | 160 | 32.40 | 1.87 | 5.8 | 1.68 | 5.2 | 1.93 | 6.0 | 3.17 | 9.8 |
| Serum pool 2 | 160 | 49.89 | 2.22 | 4.5 | 1.95 | 3.9 | 2.80 | 5.6 | 4.07 | 8.2 |
| Serum pool 3 | 160 | 55.75 | 2.66 | 4.8 | 1.73 | 3.1 | 3.02 | 5.4 | 4.38 | 7.8 |
| Serum pool 4 | 160 | 132.05 | 3.53 | 2.7 | 3.21 | 2.4 | 4.16 | 3.2 | 6.33 | 4.8 |
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A linearity study was performed across the assay measuring range using a high and a low sample. The samples were prepared using a patient serum pool
{6}
prescreened for Vitamin D levels $>200\mathrm{ng/mL}$ and a low concentration sample containing BSA and cholesterol. The high serum pool sample and the low sample were combined in different ratios to produce 11 dilutions covering the assay range. Linearity was evaluated by calculating a linear regression comparing observed values versus expected values. Results of the percent recovery of all the samples are summarized below:
| Sample | Expected concentration | Observed concentration | % Recovery |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 3.8 | 3.8 | 100.0 |
| 2 | 8.5 | 8.8 | 103.3 |
| 3 | 13.1 | 13.8 | 105.7 |
| 4 | 22.3 | 23.4 | 104.7 |
| 5 | 40.8 | 40.7 | 99.8 |
| 6 | 59.3 | 58.8 | 99.2 |
| 7 | 77.8 | 73.6 | 94.6 |
| 8 | 96.3 | 92.9 | 96.4 |
| 9 | 114.8 | 112.1 | 97.6 |
| 10 | 133.3 | 134.5 | 100.9 |
| 11 | 151.8 | 151.8 | 100.0 |
The measured vs. expected linear regression analysis for all samples generated a linear regression as follows:
$$
y = 1.026x - 3.586, r^2 = 0.997
$$
The linear study data supports the sponsor's claim that the measuring range of the Vitamin D assay is 4.2 to $150\mathrm{ng / mL}$ .
Dilution study:
Additional studies were performed to demonstrate that the samples with concentrations greater than $150\mathrm{mg / dL}$ using a 1:2 dilution can be accurately measured by the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay. These studies were performed with eight serum samples that were diluted 1:2 with ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay diluent. All samples were run in triplicate. Theoretical doses were calculated by dividing the measured dose for the undiluted sample by the dilution factor. The percent recoveries were determined by dividing the observed dose by the theoretical dose. The percent recovery was from $90\%$ to $110\%$ . Results are summarized below:
{7}
| Sample | Concentration | Dilution | Observed concentration (ng/mL) | Expected concentration (ng/mL) | % Recovery |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 154.4 | 1:2 | 76.9 | 77.2 | 100 |
| 2 | 139.0 | 1:2 | 67.6 | 69.5 | 97 |
| 3 | 191.2 | 1:2 | 93.0 | 95.6 | 97 |
| 4 | 178.0 | 1:2 | 83.5 | 89.0 | 94 |
| 5 | 237.1 | 1:2 | 124.8 | 118.6 | 105 |
| 6 | 232.0 | 1:2 | 126.2 | 116.0 | 109 |
| 7 | 186.1 | 1:2 | 96.3 | 93.1 | 103 |
| 8 | 171.1 | 1:2 | 84.2 | 85.6 | 98 |
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability and value assignment:
Calibrators, 2-level controls (Level 1: 20 ng/mL and Level 2: 100 ng/ml) and MCMs are traceable to internal standards, which are traceable to LC-MS/MS. The internal standards were value assigned via method correlation using clinical samples with LC/MS/MS values. The relationship between the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D assay internal standards and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectroscopy is described using linear regression as:
ADVIA Centaur VitD=1.01(LC/MS/MS) + 8.9, r=0.99
Production lots of calibrators, controls and master curve materials (MCM) are value assigned against the internal standards using two reagent lots, 2 runs on two different instruments for a total of 24 replicates. The average dose for each calibrator, control and MCM assigns their value.
Shelf life stability studies: Real-time stability studies were performed for the control materials, MCM and the calibrators. The stability study protocol and the acceptance criteria have been reviewed and found to be acceptable. The real time ongoing stability study supports a stability of 26 weeks (6 months) when materials are stored at 2-8°C.
Open vial stability: The stability study protocol and the acceptance criteria to determine open-vial stability of the control materials, MCM, and the calibrators have been reviewed and found to be acceptable. Calibrators, MCM, and controls are stable for up to 120 days when stored at -20°C, 28 days when stored at 2-8°C, and up to 7 days stability when stored at 25°C.
d. Detection limit:
The Limit of the Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD), and Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay was
{8}
determined in accordance with the CLSI guideline EP17-A: Protocols for Determination of Limits of Detection and Limits of Quantitation.
LoB was performed using 3 blank samples in replicates of 4 were assayed using 2 reagent lots and 2 instruments, 2 runs per day, over ten operating days generating 320 measurements. The LoB was determined to be 1.60 ng/mL, by calculating the 95th percentile of the distribution of the test values.
LoD was performed using seven samples prepared by diluting a patient sample with charcoal stripped human serum to concentrations ranging from 1.6 to 12.1 ng/mL. 7 samples in replicates of 4 were assayed using 2 reagent lots and 2 instruments, 2 runs per day, over ten operating days generating 320 measurements. The LoD was estimated to be 3.3 ng/mL.
LoQ was performed using four low samples. 4 samples were analyzed using 2 reagent lots and 2 instruments, 2 runs per over 10 days generating 320 measurements. LoQ was 4.2 ng/mL when %CV was 18.3 (inter assay precision n=320).
The measuring range of the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay is 4.2 - 150 ng/mL.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference:
The sponsor performed studies to evaluate the effects of endogenous compounds (such as hemoglobin, cholesterol, uric acid, human IgG, triglycerides, unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin) on the performance of the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay, following CLSI EP7-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline. Testing was done in the presence of 20 – 106 ng/mL 25(OH) vitamin D and different concentrations of the listed compounds. All samples were run in triplicate. Percent recovery was calculated relative to control samples containing vitamin D without spiked endogenous compounds. The table below lists all substances tested at concentrations with non-significant (<10%) interference defined by the sponsor when compared to the control samples:
9
{9}
| Compound | Concentration tested |
| --- | --- |
| Bilirubin (conjugated) | 40 mg/dL |
| Bilirubin (unconjugated) | 40 mg/dL |
| Cholesterol | 350 mg/dL |
| Hemoglobin | 155 mg/dL |
| Human immunoglobulin | 12 g/dL |
| Triglycerides | 540 mg/dL |
| Uric acid | 20 mg/dL |
Based on the study data, the sponsor stated in their labeling that hemolyzed sample should not be tested with the vitamin D assay.
## Cross reactivity:
The sponsor performed studies to estimate if compounds similar to 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25(OH) D2 and D3) cross react with the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay. These studies were performed in accordance with CLSI EP7-A2, Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry; Approved Guideline. Specificity of the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay was determined by adding the cross reactants to 2 medical decision serum pools containing varying amounts of 25(OH) vitamin D, approximately 35.0, 55ng/mL and 115 ng/mL. Each test sample was compared to a matched unspiked serum pool. The study was carried out using 2 reagent lots and each sample was run in triplicate. Based on the results summarized in the below table, the sponsor concluded that the assay did not significantly cross react with Vitamin D2, Vitamin D3, 1,25-OH Vitamin D2, 1,25-OH vitamin D3, 3-epi-25-OH vitamin D3 and Paricalcitol (Zemplar). The assay recovers both 25-OH Vitamin D3 and 25-OH vitamin D2.
| Cross-Reactant | Vitamin D2 | Vitamin D3 | 25-OH Vitamin D2 | 25-OH Vitamin D3 | 1,25-OH Vitamin D2 | 1,25-OH Vitamin D3 | 3-epi-25-OH vitamin D3 | Paricalcitol (Zemplar) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Spiked (ng/mL) | 1000 | 1000 | 30.0 | 30.0 | 100.0 | 100.0 | 100.0 | 24.0 |

5. Expected values/Reference range:
To determine a reference range for the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay, samples obtained from 542 apparently healthy adults from the North and South of the U.S. were examined. These samples were collected during different weather seasons (summer and winter). The samples numbers were split evenly between the North and South, summer and winter, and with and without supplements containing vitamin D. 258 adults took supplement containing vitamin D and 284 adults took supplement containing vitamin D. Approximately 100 samples per group were collected. Samples were only included in this study if the samples had normal PTH, TSH, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus values. Two ranges based on the 95% confidence intervals were determined following CLSI C28-A2. The samples were run in singleton on the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay. The following results were obtained:
Expected Ranges for adults: (n = 542)
| Observed values | |
| --- | --- |
| Median 25 (OH) vitamin D | 21.1 ng/mL (52.8 nmol/L) |
| Observed Range 2.5th to 97.5th percentile | 10.6 – 43.4 ng/mL (26.5 – 108.5 nmol/L) |

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.
