4. xMAP Fluidics 1 Microspheres (FLUID1) containing a single microsphere set used in conjunction with Fluidics2 to measure inter-well carryover and detect issues with sample retention in fluidic lines or inefficient presentation of sample to optics.
5. xMAP Fluidics 2 Microspheres (FLUID2) containing a buffer solution that allows measurement of microspheres originating from Fluidics1.
**Luminex xMAP® Sheath Fluid and xMAP® Sheath Concentrate Pack (Store Room temperature)**
The Luminex xMAP® sheath fluid is identical to the sheath fluid cleared with previous xMAP submission k073506, and serves as the delivery medium which carries the sample to the optics component of the Luminex xMAP technology based instruments (including the FLEXMAP 3D instrument). The xMAP® sheath fluid is available in two formulations, a ready-to-use (20L) and a 1L concentrate pack which is sufficient to dilute to 20L.
2. Principles of Operation:
Luminex’s xMAP technology is built on flow cytometry, microspheres, lasers, digital signal processing and traditional chemistry. Systems using xMAP technology perform discrete chemistry on the surface of color coated beads known as microspheres, which are then read in a compact analyzer. The analyzer reads multiplexed assay results by identifying color differences between beads as well as the presence or absence of a fluorescent reporter marker.
The principle of operation for the instrument system is flow cell fluorometry. The fluidics, optics, robotics, temperature control, software, and xMAP microspheres work together to enable simultaneous analysis of up to 500 analytes in a single test sample. Assay analysis requiring temperature control is provided through the enclosed instrument heater block.
There are two fluidics paths in the FLEXMAP 3D analyzer. The first path involves a syringe driven mechanism that controls the sample uptake. This mechanism permits small sample uptake volumes from small reaction volumes. The syringe-driven system transports a specified volume of sample from a sample container to the cuvette. The sample is injected into the cuvette at a steady rate for analysis. Following analysis, the sample path is automatically purged with sheath buffer by the second fluidics path. This process removes residual sample within the tubing, valves, and probe. The second fluidics path is driven by positive air pressure and supplies sheath fluid to the cuvette and sample path.
Sheath fluid is the delivery medium of the sample to the optics component. The
{3}
analysis sample is acquired using a sample probe from a 96-well microtitre plate. The sample passes through with sheath fluid at a reduced rate resulting in a narrow sample core to ensure that each microsphere is illuminated individually. The sample injection rate is such that the microspheres are introduced to the optics path as a series of single events. The optics assembly consists of two lasers. One laser excites the dye mixture inside the microspheres and the second laser excites the fluorophore bound to the surface of the microsphere. Avalanche photo diode detectors measure the excitation emission intensities of the color coding classification dye mixtures inside the microspheres and a photomultiplier tube detects the excitation emission intensity of the reporter molecule bound to the surface of the microspheres. High speed digital signal processors and computer algorithms provide analysis of the microspheres as they are processed through the FLEXMAP 3D analyzer. Results of the analyses are provided in a report format.
3. Modes of Operation:
Automatic - the FLEXMAP 3D analyzer utilizes sequential positioning of each well of a 96-well microtitre plate beginning from any well position.
4. Specimen Identification:
The FLEXMAP 3D analyzer utilizes an optional barcode reader that is available for entry of sample IDs, or they may be entered manually
5. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
The samples are manually prepared according to assay manufacturer's suggestions and are transferred to a 96-well microtitre plate for analysis.
6. Calibration:
The FLEXMAP 3D analyzer utilizes classification and reporter calibrator microspheres in FLEXMAP 3D® Calibration Kit. Calibration is performed weekly.
7. Quality Control:
The FLEXMAP 3D analyzer utilizes classification and reporter verification microspheres in FLEXMAP 3D® Performance Verification Kit

J. Performance Characteristics:
1. Analytical Performance:
a. Accuracy:
Accuracy was assessed during the clearance of the assay (Bk120024, One Lambda LABType® SSO DNA Typing Tests, reviewed by CBER) and will be addressed for each assay in the future, to be run on this system.
The samples tested were approved reference samples with quality and quantity that meet the criteria described in the One Lambda LABScreen® assay product inserts. The samples selected for each locus had maximum diversification of HLA typing to test as rigorously as possible. The HLA typing for all samples has been confirmed based on cell or DNA exchange programs or in house sequencing combined with LABType® SSO DNA Typing Test methods.
Technician # 1 typed 48 reference samples in duplicate in a single 96-well PCR tray for each of the three lots of LABType® product on three separate days. Assayed microspheres were analyzed using on LABScan 3D (FLEXMAP 3D) instrument. Technician # 2 typed the same samples using the same lots of LABType® products but instead used the LABScan 100 (Bk020055) for data acquisition.
The concordance analysis of the HLA typing results using 48 reference samples in duplicate at the internal site demonstrated 100% concordance between the results obtained from the two instruments using all three lots. The correlation analysis comparing the MFI values obtained from the LABScan 3D instrument and the LABScan 100 across the three lots of LABType® products equaling 66332 points showed an R-squared values ranging from 0.9885 to 0.9936.
{7}
b. Precision/Reproducibility:
The reproducibility of LABType® products combined with LABScan 3D instrument was tested using the LABType® 3D Class I A Locus Typing Test, RSS01A3, product against 16 reference samples in two separate runs using three LABScan 3D instruments, operated by three technicians, on five consecutive days. Three technicians typed 16 reference samples in two separate runs per day, over five non-consecutive days, within a 20 day period for each of the three LABscan 3D instruments, respectively. Based on the analysis of 60,000 data points the reproducibility test results demonstrated 100% concordance in HLA typing results.
An additional reproducibility study was performed to provide supplemental reproducibility data using additional two products, LABType® SSO DRB1 Typing Test (RSSO2B1) and LABType® HD B Locus Typing Test (RSSOH1B) of the LABScan 3D system at three external sites. Three operators per site typed 16 reference samples each in triplicate, twice a day, for 5 non-consecutive days for the two additional LABType® products. Concordance analysis showed that all valuable reactions for both LABType® SSO DRB1 Typing Test (RSSO2B1) and LABType® HD B Locus Typing Test (RSSOH1B) had interpretable outcomes that allowed the assignment of HLA typing results that are in 100% agreement with the reference typing in all sessions.
An internal supplemental reproducibility study of the LABScan 3D instrument was performed using all 3 of the products [LABType® 3D Class I A Locus Typing Test (RSS01A3), LABType® SSO DRB1 Typing Test (RSSO2B1) and LABType® HD B Locus Typing Test (RSSOH1B)] and 3 different LABScan 3D instruments. The HLA concordance analysis demonstrates that 100% concordant in HLA typing results were obtained from 166080 total data points obtained across 3 technicians, 3 products, 90 separate runs, and 3 LABScan 3D instruments.
Lot-to-Lot Reproducibility
Lot-to-lot reproducibility for the quality of the microsphere was validated using three manufactured product lots of the LABType® SSO DNA Typing Test (RSSO1A3) in one study followed by a supplemental study using three manufactured lots of the LABType® SSO Class II DRB1 DNA Typing Test (RSSO2B1), LABType® HD SSO CLASS I B LOCUS DNA Typing Test (RSSOH1B), and LABType® SSO CLASS II DQA1/DQB1DNA Typing (RSSO2Q). Each contained different lots and regions of 125 microspheres and were tested with the 32 reference samples, in triplicate, in 96-well PCR trays. No reactions were excluded and HLA Typing results for all kits demonstrated 100% concordance.

## Stability
### Microsphere Shelf-life Stability:
Shelf-life, freeze-thaw, and open vial stability of analyte-specific microspheres are determined by the individual assay manufacturer.
### Calibrator and Verifier Shelf-life Stability:
Three separately manufactured lots of each calibrator microspheres were stored under normal conditions (2–8 °C) and assessed for stability by recovery, aerobic bioburden, and functionality to establish a 24 month shelf-life. The initial 24 month shelf-life was established through tentative accelerated stability studies where the lots were stored at 33 °C. Recovery and aerobic bioburden were assessed at 13, 39, and 59 days; functionality at 0, 26, and 59 days; and FlexMAP 3D fluorescent/scatter profiling at all timepoints (0, 13, 26, 39, 52, and 59 days). Pre-established accelerated shelf-life specifications were: Recovery 3.5 x 10⁵ – 4.5 x 10⁵ microspheres/mL; aerobic bioburden < 10 CFUs/mL; and for F3DCAL1 the %CV were required to be ≤ 6.25% for CL1 and ≤ 6.75% for CL2 and CL3. If the %CV for each channel was > than 6.25% or 6.75%, respectively, the change from baseline was required to be no greater than 1%. The change from baseline for the assigned values was required to be < 8.5% for the DD Peak, < 3.5% for each mean CL, and < 100 MFI for the RP1 mean background. For F3DCAL2, RP1 was required to be ≤ 8.0% or ≤ 1% if the change from baseline was > 8.0% and RP1 median was < 3.5% change from baseline value. For F3DCAL3 the RP1 was required to be ≤ 15% or ≤ 1% if > 8.0%. The RP1 median was the same as for F3DCAL2.
Shelf-life was assessed through real-time studies on three separately manufactured lots when the lots were greater than 24 months of age. Functionality of the calibrators and verification microspheres was established by comparison to existing reference lots. Shelf-life specifications established by Luminex were: Recovery: Calibrators 3.3 x 10⁵ – 4.7 x 10⁵ microspheres/mL. Verifiers: 1.0 x 10⁶ – 1.4 x 10⁶ microspheres/mL for F3DeVER1 and F3DVER1
9
{9}
and $6.7 \times 10^{5} - 8.7 \times 10^{5}$ microspheres/mL for F3DVER2. The ranges established include an approximate $\pm 5\%$ tolerance of the averaged finished goods specifications for individual lots. Aerobic bioburden: $\leq 10$ CFUs/mL. Functionality: results were required to conform within the specific instrument QC tolerances established for the individual instrument utilized. In all cases, the results from the individual kit lots were within the pre-established specifications.
# Freeze-Thaw Stress Stability:
Freeze-thaw stability was assessed after each material was subjected to 3 freeze-thaw cycles between $-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for 8 hours and thawed at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for at least 4 hours. Recovery, size homology, and bioburden were assessed for each classification and reporter calibrators (3 lots) and verifiers (2 lots). The predefined specifications for comparison to the reference were as follows: Recovery: Calibrators $3.5 \times 10^{5} - 4.5 \times 10^{5}$ microspheres/mL and Verifiers: VER1 $1.1 \times 10^{6} - 1.3 \times 10^{6}$ and VER2 $7.1 \times 10^{5} - 8.3 \times 10^{5}$ ; bioburden (calibrators and verifiers) $< 10$ CFUs/mL; and size homology (calibrators and verifiers) $\pm 0.3 \mu \mathrm{m}$ from reference and $\leq 5.5\%$ CV. Functionality utilized the same specifications as indicated above for real-time stability. Performance specifications were set at: for F3DCAL1 the $\% \mathrm{CV}$ was required to be $\leq 7.3\%$ for CL1 and $\leq 7.0\%$ for CL2 and CL3. For each CL, if the $\% \mathrm{CV}$ for each channel was $>$ than $7.3\%$ or $7.0\%$ , respectively, the change from baseline was required to be no greater than $1\%$ . The change from baseline for the assigned values was required to be $< 8.5\%$ for the DD Peak, $< 2.5\%$ for each mean CL, and $< 100$ MFI for the RP1 mean background. For F3DCAL2, RP1 was required to be $\leq 8.5\%$ or $\leq 1\%$ if the change from baseline was $>8.5\%$ and RP1 median was $< 2.5\%$ change from baseline value. For F3DCAL3 the RP1 was required to be $\leq 15\%$ or $\leq 1\%$ if $>8.0\%$ . The RP1 median was the same as for F3DCAL2. For F3DCAL1, there was a noticeable decrease from the assigned value for the DD scatter profile, however all fell within the specified parameters. One lot of the three was only marginally within, demonstrating a $-8.47\%$ change from the assigned value. The percent difference from the assigned values for remaining parameters for F3DCAL1, all parameters for F3DCAL2, F3DCAL3, VER1, and VER2 were nominal and fell within the pre-defined specifications and supports the claim that the materials are reliable for at least three freeze-thaw cycles at $-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ .
# Heat-Stress Stability:
Two samples per each of three lots of calibrators and two lots of verifiers were subjected to increased storage temperatures from the specified recommended storage temperature to as indicated in the table below:
| Set point # | Temperature Type | Temp (°C) | Duration (hours) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Soak | 25 | 10 |
| 2 | Ramp to | 45 | 4 |
| 3 | Soak | 45 | 8 |
{10}
| 4 | Ramp to | 30 | 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 5 | Soak | 30 | 6 |
| 6 | Ramp to | 45 | 3 |
| 7 | Soak | 45 | 8 |
| 8 | Ramp to | 25 | 4 |
| 9 | Soak | 25 | 2 |
Calibrator and verifier specifications were the same as those used in the freeze-thaw stability studies. All samples were compared to a reference sample for the same parameters measured in the freeze-thaw studies. All results were within the pre-defined parameters and supports the claim that the materials are reliable following a 48 hour heat stress exposure.
# Sheath fluid stability:
No additional stability studies were performed
Additional performance data using the One Lambda LABType® SSO DNA Typing Tests assessed during the clearance by CBER under Bk120024, and will be addressed for each assay in the future, to be run on this system.
# Robustness
The robustness was tested using $50\%$ less total concentration of microspheres that that specified in the assay protocol to simulate extensive loss of microsphere due to disintegration over a period beyond its shelf life or poor handling during the assay. The use of fewer microspheres is expected to test any effects on performance of the probes due to a change in stoichiometry of the DNA hybridization reaction and a reduction in the number of samples used to generate the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) values. The LABType® SSO Class II DQA1/DQB1 typing test (RSSO2Q), LABType® SSO DRB1 Typing test (RSSO2B1), and LABType® HD Class I Locus Typing Test (RSSOH1B) with a standard concentration of microspheres was assayed in parallel as the reference assays at a $50\%$ and $100\%$ of the total microsphere concentration defined by the device specification.
The 96 approved reference samples had quantity and quality that meet the criteria described in the product insert. The mean fluorescence intensity values between the test assay with $50\%$ less concentration of microspheres and the reference assay with $100\%$ microspheres concentration showed demonstrated:
| Assay kit | Concordance with Reference assays | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| | Correlation Coefficient (r2) | Overall Agreement (%) |
| LABType® SSO Class II DQA1/DQB1 Typing test | 0.9933 | 100% |
| LABType® SSO DRB1 Typing test | 0.9958 | 100% |
{11}
LABType® HD Class I Locus Typing Test 0.9968 100%
## Detection Limits
The detection limits of the LABType® SSO DNA Typing Test Products, using the LABType® SSO DNA Typing Test, LABType® HD Class I B Locus Typing Test (RSSOH1b) and LABType® SSO Class II DQA1/DQB1 Typing test (RSSO2Q) products combined with the LabScan instrument were tested using 8 selected reference samples. Each sample was serially diluted from a concentration of 40 ng/μL down to 20 and 10 ng/μL for a total of 3 different concentrations. All samples tested at all three concentrations had 100% concordance HLA typing results, had average normalized MFI values of 20% or higher for the minimum positive signal and had average positive control probe MFI of at least 500.
## Supplemental External Clinical Study Summary Report
The purpose of this supplemental external Clinical study was to provide supplemental data for the Reproducibility test using additional two products, LABType® SSO DRB1 Typing Test (RSSO2B1) and LABType® HD B Locus Typing Test (RSSOH1B) of the LABScan 3D system at three external sites.
The scope of this study included supplemental reproducibility testing results of 3 technicians per site who each typed 16 reference samples provided by One Lambda in triplicate, twice a day, for 5 non-consecutive days for the two LABType® products.

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.
