Indications for Use
The eSensor® Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) is a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex in vitro diagnostic test intended for use on the eSensor XT-8™ system for the simultaneous detection and identification of multiple respiratory viral nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) obtained from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The following virus types and subtypes are identified using the eSensor RVP: Influenza A, Influenza A H1 Seasonal Subtype, Influenza A H3 Seasonal Subtype; Influenza A 2009 H1N1 subtype, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A, Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype B, Parainfluenza Virus 1, Parainfluenza Virus 2, Parainfluenza Virus 3, Human Metapneumovirus, Human Rhinovirus, Adenovirus species B/E, and Adenovirus species C. The detection and identification of specific viral nucleic acids from individuals exhibiting signs and symptoms of respiratory infection aids in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection if used in conjunction with other clinical and epidemiological information. Negative results do not preclude respiratory viral infection and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection, or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. The use of additional laboratory testing (e.g. bacterial and viral culture, immunofluorescence and radiography) and clinical presentation must be taken into consideration in the final diagnosis of respiratory viral infection. Performance characteristics for Influenza A were established during the 2010/2011 influenza season when Influenza A 2009 H1N1 and H3N2 were the predominant Influenza A viruses in circulation. When other Influenza A viruses emerge, performance characteristics may vary. If infection with a novel Influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent influenza viruses and sent to state or local health departments for testing. Viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive and culture specimens. For prescription use only.
Device Story
The eSensor RVP is a multiplex microarray-based genotyping test system for respiratory viruses. It processes nasopharyngeal swab samples via RT-PCR amplification and exonuclease digestion to generate single-stranded DNA. This target DNA is hybridized in an eSensor XT-8 cartridge with ferrocene-labeled signal probes and electrode-bound capture probes. The eSensor XT-8 instrument uses alternating current voltammetry (ACV) to detect the hybridization complex on gold-plated electrodes. The system is operated by laboratory personnel in a clinical setting. The instrument provides automated qualitative results (Positive/Target Not Detected) for 14 viral targets. Healthcare providers use these results alongside clinical and epidemiological data to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory viral infections. The device benefits patients by providing rapid, multiplexed identification of viral pathogens, supporting clinical decision-making and patient management.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective clinical study (N=1037) conducted during the 2010/11 influenza season at three North American sites. Comparator methods included viral culture with DFA and validated qRT-PCR/sequencing. Sensitivity ranged from 83.3% to 100% and specificity from 94.7% to 100% across targets. Retrospective banked samples (N=320) were used to supplement performance data for specific targets.

#### Indication for Use: Same as Intended Use
#### Device Description:
The eSensor RVP is a multiplex microarray-based genotyping test system. It is based on the principles of competitive DNA hybridization using a sandwich assay format, wherein a singlestranded target binds concurrently to sequence-specific solution-phase signal probe and solidphase electrode-bound capture probe. The test employs reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction amplification, exonuclease digestion and hybridization of target DNA/RNA. In the process, the double-stranded PCR amplicons are digested with exonuclease to generate singlestranded DNA suitable for hybridization. Hybridization occurs in the eSensor XT-8 Cartridge (described below) where the single-stranded target DNA is mixed with a hybridization solution containing labeled signal probes.
During hybridization, the single-stranded target DNA binds to a complementary, single-stranded capture probe immobilized on the working electrode surface. Single-stranded signal probes (labeled with electrochemically active ferrocenes) bind to the target adjacent to the capture probe. When inserted into the eSensor XT-8 instrument (described below), simultaneous hybridization of
{2}------------------------------------------------
target to signal probes and capture probe is detected by alternating current voltammetry (ACV). Each pair of working electrodes on the array contains a different capture probe, and sequential analysis of each electrode allows detection of multiple viral targets.

#### The Assay Cartridge (eSensor XT-8 Cartridge)
The eSensor XT-8 cartridge device consists of a printed circuit board (PCB) with a multi-layer laminate and a plastic cover that forms a hybridization chamber. The cartridge is fitted with a pump and check valves that circulate the hybridization when inserted into the eSensor XT-8 instrument. The PCB chip consists of an array of 72 gold-plated working electrodes, a silver reference electrode, and two gold-plated auxiliary electrodes. Each working electrode has a connector contact pad on the opposite side of the chip for electrical connection to the eSensor XT-8 instrument. Each electrode is modified with a multi-component; self-assembled monolayer that includes oligonucleotide capture probes specific for each polymorphic site on the test panel and insulator molecules. The cartridge also contains an electrically erasable programmable readonly memory component (EEPROM) that stores information related to the cartridge (e.g., assay identifier, cartridge lot number, and expiration date).
#### The eSensor XT-8 Instrument
The eSensor XT-8 instrument was previously cleared for IVD use by the FDA under K073720 and K090901.
The eSensor XT-8 is a clinical multiplex instrument that has a modular design consisting of a base module and one, two, or three cartridge-processing towers containing 8, 16, or 24 cartridge slots, respectively. The cartridge slots operate independently of each other. Any number of cartridges can be loaded at one time, and the remaining slots are available for use while the instrument is running.
The base module controls each processing tower, provides power, and stores and analyzes data. The instrument is designed to be operated solely with the touch screen interface. Entering patient accession numbers and reagent lot numbers can be performed by the bar code scanner or the touch screen.
Each processing tower consists of eight cartridge modules, each containing a cartridge connector, a precision-controlled heater, an air pump, and electronics. The air pumps drive the pump and valve system in the cartridge, eliminating fluid contact between the instrument and the cartridge. The pneumatic pumping enables recirculation of the hybridization solution allowing the target DNA and the signal probes to hybridize with the complementary capture probes on the electrodes. The pump in the cartridge is connected to a pneumatic source from the eSensor XT-8 instrument and provides unidirectional pumping of the hybridization mixture through the channel
{3}------------------------------------------------
during hybridization. Using this process to circulate the hybridization solution minimizes the unstirred boundary laver at the electrode surface and continuously replenishes the volume above the electrode that has been depleted of complementary targets and signal probes.
The XT-8 instrument provides electrochemical detection of bound signal probes by ACV and subsequent data analysis and test report generating functions. All hybridization, ACV scanning and analysis parameters are defined by a scanning protocol loaded into the XT-8 Software, and then specified for use by the EEPROM on each cartridge.
Principle of eSensor Technology: eSensor technology uses a solid-phase electrochemical method for determining the presence of one or more of a defined panel of virus target sequences. Purified DNA/RNA is isolated from the patient specimen according to defined laboratory procedures and the extracted nucleic acid is reverse transcribed and/or amplified using virus specific primers with an RT-PCR enzyme mix. The amplified DNA is converted to single-stranded DNA via exonuclease digestion and is then combined with a signal buffer containing ferrocenelabeled signal probes that are specific for the different viral targets. The mixture of amplified sample and signal buffer is loaded onto a cartridge containing single-stranded oligonucleotide capture probes bound to gold-plated electrodes. The cartridge is inserted into the XT-8 instrument where the single-stranded targets hybridize to the complementary sequences of the capture probes and signal probes, as shown in Figure 1. The presence of each target is determined by voltammetry, which generates specific electrical signals from the ferrocene-labeled signal probe.
The eSensor RVP provides a qualitative result based upon the presence (Positive) or absence (Target Not Detected) of the viruses contained in the panel along with the internal MS2 control. Positive and negative results are determined based on the electrical signals generated being either above or below specified signal boundaries, respectively.
Image /page/3/Picture/4 description: The image shows a schematic of a DNA biosensor. The biosensor consists of a gold electrode with a self-assembled monolayer on top. A capture probe is attached to the monolayer, which binds to the target DNA. A signal probe is then used to detect the presence of the target DNA. The 5' and 3' ends of the DNA strands are labeled.
Figure 1: Hybridization complex formed at the surface of each electrode. Different, target specific, capture probes are covalently attached to the gold electrodes in the eSensor microarray. The amplified viral target DNA hybridizes to the capture probe and to a complementary ferrocene label signal probe. The ferrocene label is detected at the electrode surface using voltammetry.
Substantial Equivalence Discussion: The eSensor Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP) uses the similar fundamental scientific technologies and has the same intended use as that of the predicate device, the Luminex® xTag® RVP and eSensor XT-8 Instrument. The eSensor XT-8 Instrument described in K078720 (eSensor Warfarin Sensitivity Test) is the identical instrument with a unique Assay Analysis Module (AAM) necessary to support the RVP IVD.

# NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA
#### Limit of Detection
#### Limit of Detection (LoD)
The Limit of Detection (LoD) was identified and verified for each viral target of the eSensor RVP using samples prepared from regrown and re-titered viral reference strains as detailed in Table 3. Initial estimations involved serially diluting each viral strain in M5 media. The dilutions prepared from each target were extracted in triplicate and the assay was performed once for each extract. Verification of the LoD was performed by meeting 95% detection or in at least 19 of the 20 extraction replicates on the selected dilution of each culture. Once the LoD was verified for each viral target in M5. verification of the LoD was also performed with the M4 media. Each viral target was diluted in M4 media down to the LoD concentration. The LoD dilution of each culture was extracted 20 times and the eSensor RVP assay was performed on each extract. The final results summary with the verified LoD concentration in TCID55/mL for both M5 and M4 media is shown in Table 3.

#### Analytical Inclusivity Testing
The performance of the eSensor RVP with multiple viral target strains representing temporal and geographic diversity for each claimed viral target was evaluated. Each viral target strain was diluted in M5 transport media to a titer of 3X LoD for the corresponding viral target and extracted in triplicate using the bioMerieux NucliSENS easyMAG System. Following extraction, each
{8}------------------------------------------------
replicate was tested once using the eSensor RVP. In the case that a viral target strain is not detected at 3X LoD, 1000-fold serial dilutions were made from the viral stock and then each dilution was extracted in triplicate and tested using the eSensor RVP.
In cases where unexpected False Negative results were obtained, in silico analysis was performed. Table 4 shows the results.

- ** In silico analysis revealed little homology between the strain sequence and the 2009 H1N1 primer sequences. The degree of mis-match to the 2009 H1N1 subtype primer sequences resulted in decreased reactivity to these influenza strains for the 2009 H1N1 subtyping result.
- * HRV strain 3, used for LoD determination, had a TCIDs /ml of 0.0016. HRV strains 1A, FO2-2547, 277G were detected at a higher LoD multiple to the reference strain, respectively with their corresponding TCIDsoml values of 0.9, 0.2, and 0.2. In silico analysis revealed mis-matches between the capture probe sequence and the HRV strains (2, 3 and 1 mis-match(es) respectively).
** No concentration available since it was an extracted RNA sample. § Only one test done for HRV C due to limited sample availability
#### Supplemental Analytical Inclusivity Testing of Other Influenza Subtypes
Additional analytical inclusivity testing was carried out with either live isolates or purified genomic RNA of Influenza A strains.

#### Simulated Reactivity Information for Influenza Strains of Human, Swine, and Avian Origin
For any strains that were not available for testing with the eSensor RVP, such as Flu A H5 and Flu A H7 strains in silico analysis was performed. The eSensor RVP primers for Flu A, Flu A H1, Flu A 2009 H1N1 and Flu A H3 were aligned to the GenBank® sequences of the reactivity strains. Exclusivity was predicted based on the number and location of mismatches between assay primers and available strain sequences.
Simulated reactivity of the eSensor RVP with influenza strains was generated using a bioinformatics approach. Assay primer sequences, signal probes and capture probes were aligned with GenBank sequences corresponding to the appropriate gene targets and reactivity were predicated based on the number and location of mismatches in the targeted region shown in Table 6.

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.
