Spartan RX Platform
I. Device Description:
The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System is a sample-to-result DNA testing system with integrated DNA extraction and amplification. Genotypes are determined using PCR and fluorescent probe detection. The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System is comprised of the
2
{2}
Spartan RX Platform, Spartan transport system, and Spartan RX Assays (sample collection kit and external control kit). The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assays are run on the Spartan RX Platform.
The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System uses a sample obtained with a buccal swab. The operator collects the buccal swab samples from a patient, inserts each sample into a reagent tube, places the reagent tube into the transport system until the reagent tubes are ready to be inserted into an Analyzer instrument. The test system then integrates and automates DNA extraction, PCR-based amplification of the target gene, detection of the *2, *3, and *17 alleles using fluorescent-probes v. fluorescent signal detection and analysis, and genotype determination. Results are presented to the end user as genotype calls. The system has integrated controls that monitor performance of a run and automatically inform the user of any anomalies in the instrument or reagents. The system detects the CYP2C19 *2, *3, and *17 genotypes in separate reagent tubes.
The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System uses the Spartan RX Platform which has four components:
1. The Spartan RX Analyzer is a thermal cycling instrument that automates polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the target gene, fluorescence-based detection of CYP2C19 alleles, and genotype calling.
2. The Netbook serves as the user interface for logging into the Spartan RX Platform, inputting patient information, and starting a test.
3. The Printer automatically prints the genotype results after the Spartan RX Platform finishes performing the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assay.
4. The Barcode Scanner is used to automatically enter SCK and ECK lot numbers into the Spartan RX Platform.
The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System uses Spartan RX Assays (Sample collection kit and external control kit). The Spartan RX Assays are the consumable components of the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System.
Sample collection kits (SCKs) contain the consumables required to determine a patient's CYP2C19 *2, *3, or *17 genotype. There are three types of SCKs, specific for the *2, *3, or *17 allele. Each SCK consists of a pouch, buccal swab, and a reagent tube. The pouch contains labeling information to ensure traceability (lot number, manufacturing date, and expiry date) and two compartments (for the buccal swab and reagent tube). The pouch also includes a barcode that is compatible with a standard reader. The buccal swab is used to collect a buccal sample from the inside of a patient's cheek and transfer it into the reagent tube. The reagent tube contains chemicals for DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and fluorescent detection of the specific CYP2C19 allele. The SCKs are color-coded to indicate which CYP2C19 allele they are designed to detect.

{3}
The External control kits (ECKs) contain the consumables required to determine if the Spartan RX Platform and reagents are performing correctly. Each ECK consists of a pouch and reagent tube. The pouch contains labeling information to ensure traceability (lot number, manufacturing date, and expiry date). The reagent tube contains synthetic nucleic acid control and chemicals for PCR amplification and fluorescent detection of the specific CYP2C19 allele. The ECKs are color-coded to indicate which reagent they control for (blue = *2, white = *3, and black = *17). The ECKs are always produced from the same lot of reagents for which they are designed to control.
The Transport System is designed to keep the sample collection kits and collected samples cold as they are moved from the freezer to the patient and from the patient to the Spartan RX Analyzer. The sample transport system is an insulated transport bag that contains a polystyrene box and a Cold Block.

The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System makes use of a two-temperature PCR cycling program which combines the annealing and extension steps.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Site-to-Site Reproducibility
The reproducibility study was conducted at three sites (two external and one internal). The three sites are designated, site 1, site 3, and site 4. Samples used for the study were buccal scrapes collected from *1/*17, *2/*3, *1/*1, *17/*17, *1/*3, *2/*17, *2/*2, and *1/*2 individuals (one individual per genotype); samples were collected from eight individuals at each site. Genotypes of the individuals included in the study were confirmed by bi-directional DNA sequencing prior to initiation of the study. Reproducibility was evaluated at each site in two sessions each day. During each session the following was performed twice: Eight individuals were tested by two operators. If the result of the first test performed using the Spartan RX CYP2C19 System for a particular individual was inconclusive, the test was repeated (second pass), as per the RX System's Instructions For Use. External control tests were performed on each system, as per the RX System's Instructions For Use, and testing proceeded if the results passed.
A total of 960 tests were performed; 10 second pass tests were performed due to inconclusive calls on the first pass test. After second pass testing of inconclusive genotype results, the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System produced a correct call rate of 99.8%, with a 95% one-sided lower confidence limit of 99%. There was one incorrect call. The root cause of the incorrect call could not conclusively be determined.

Lot-to-lot Reproducibility
The Spartan FRX CYP2C19 Test System uses independent reagents for detection of each of the three CYP2C19 mutations (*2, *3, *17). Lot-to-lot reproducibility was assessed using three independent lots of each reagent type. Samples used for the study were buccal scrapes collected from *1/*1, *1/*17, *2/*17, *17/*17, *2/*3, and *2/*2 individuals. After second pass testing of inconclusive genotype results, the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System produced a correct call rate of 99.0%, with a 95% one-sided lower confidence limit of 98%.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Controls:
External Controls: The system contains an External Control kit. The External Control reagent has two synthetic target nucleic acids that contain binding sites for the primers and wild-type or mutant probe are added. The external control kit contains a reagent for each of the three CYP2C19 loci (*2, *3 and *17) tested in the assay. At each locus under investigation, there is control material that is specific for the recessive (positive control) and dominant (negative control) genotype. PCR amplification and bi-directional DNA sequencing of each of the 6 control materials is used to confirm the sequence of the 6 oligonucleotides. External Controls result in a pass or fail and do not provide a genotype result.
Previously characterized genomic DNA can be tested by 1 μl of purified genomic DNA at 0.1 ng/μl using a pipette. The acceptable range of genomic DNA is 0.03 ng to 0.5 ng. The recommended amount is 0.1 ng because this has been determined to be just above the limit of detection of the assay (see 1d below). The acceptable A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ ratio is 1.5 to 1.9. As a control, a buccal sample from a person with a known genotype may also be run.
Stability
The Sample Collection Kits and External Control kits are shipped frozen on dry ice. The kits contain a Timestip Plus disposable temperature indicator to inform the user if the package has remained frozen during shipping. Sample Collection Kits and External Control kits must be stored in a manual defrost freezer (one that does not say "frost-free") at a temperature between -20°C to -80°C. When stored under these conditions, Sample Collection Kits and External Control kits are stable until the expiry date marked on the product label.

# Sample stability
Sample stability was tested using 52 samples on 9 systems. Samples were stored in the transport system for up to 2 hours and run on the CYP2C19 Test System.
Protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and deemed acceptable. Information submitted supports the sponsor's claims that 1) the Sample Collection Kits must be used within 45 minutes of being removed from the freezer and 2) the buccal swab sample inserted into the reagent tube is stable for 1 hour if contained in the sample transport system.
# d. Detection limit:
The input material for the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System is a buccal swab collected from an individual, which is inserted directly into the reagent tube without any requirement for the user to extract or purify DNA. The end user can only use one buccal swab per test. 40 individuals had buccal swabs taken in the following range: 5 pooled swabs, 2 pooled swabs, 1 normal swab, one stroke swab, and buccal touch. The detection limit was assessed by analysis of buccal swab samples collected from $*1/*1$ , $*2/*17$ , $*17/*17$ , and $*2/*3$ individuals. Genotypes of all individuals were confirmed by bi-directional sequencing prior to initiation of the study. The concentration of genomic DNA isolated from each individual was determined using absorbance of DNA at $260~\mathrm{nm}$ . For each individual and each genomic DNA sample, PCR performance was assessed using 4 replicates. The DNA concentration was determined using a genomic standard curve. The quantity and quality was determined using absorbance at $260\mathrm{nm}$ and $280\mathrm{nm}$ , respectively. The following is the determined amount of DNA on a swab:
| Swabbing condition | Average DNA Amount (ng) |
| --- | --- |
| 5 pooled swabs | 3.3 |
| 2 pooled swabs | 1.6 |
| Normal swab | 1.3 |
| One stroke | 0.6 |
| Inside mouth touch | 0.1 |

Effect of Oral Rinse
Buccal swab samples were collected from $*1/*1, *2/*17, *17/*17$ , and $*2/*3$ individuals. Genotypes of all individuals were confirmed by bi-directional sequencing prior to initiation of the study.
The following three different rinse procedures were evaluated:
- No rinse before swab collection
- 10 seconds rinse prior to collection
- 60 seconds rinse prior to collection
{11}
A total of 58 samples were tested under a no rinse condition. 56 samples were tested by rinsing with 15 ml water for at least 10 seconds immediately prior to swab collection. 56 samples were tested by rinsing with 30 ml water for at least 60 seconds immediately prior to swab collection. If the result of the first test performed using the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System for a particular individual was inconclusive; the test was repeated (second pass). Five samples produced inconclusive results; after second pass repeats of these samples, the system produced a 100% correct call rate for all rinse conditions tested. A water rinse is recommended to mitigate the risk that substances in the mouth that may interfere with performance of the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System.
## Interference (Exogenous Substances):
Interference from potential exogenous interfering substances was evaluated using buccal swab samples collected from *1/*1, *2/*17, *17/*17, and *2/*3 individuals. Genotypes of all individuals were confirmed by bi-directional sequencing prior to initiation of the study. To test the impact of exogenous substances on performance of the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System, buccal samples were collected from individuals immediately after exposure to the substance followed by a water rinse, which was performed as per the RX CYP2C19 Test System's instructions for use. A total of 16 samples were tested for each potential exogenous interfering substance (n=4 per genotype tested). If the result of the first test performed using the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Test System for a particular individual was inconclusive, the test was repeated (second pass). The following exogenous substances and amounts were tested:
- Antiseptic mouthwash - 20 ml - Rinse around mouth for 30 seconds
- Toothpaste - 3/4" strip - Brush teeth for 2 min, spit
- Baking soda solution - 30 ml (0.1 g/ml) - Rinse around mouth for 10 seconds
- Cough syrup - 30 ml - Rinse around mouth for 10 seconds
- Cranberry juice - 30 ml - Rinse around mouth for 10 seconds
- Salt water - 30 ml (0.01 g/ml) - Rinse around mouth for 10 seconds
- Sugar water - 30 ml (0.01 g/ml) - Rinse around mouth for 10 seconds
- Meat - 15 g - Chew for 10 seconds
- Chewing gum - 1 standard piece - Chew for 1 min
- Hard candy - 1 standard piece - Suck until fully dissolved
- Tobacco smoking - 1 cigar - 5 puffs
- Denture paste - Apply 3 strips to roof of mouth, leave for 5 min, remove
Mouthwash and tobacco smoke produced one inconclusive call each; these samples all produced correct calls for the second pass test. Baking soda, and chewing gum, produced two inconclusive calls; these samples also produced correct calls for the second pass test. Chewing gum produced 11 inconclusive calls, with 1 inconclusive call remaining in the second pass. After first and second pass analysis, the overall correct call rates were 91.5% and 99.55%, respectively. All substances tested met the acceptance criteria.

Interference (Endogenous Substances):
Interference from potential endogenous interfering substances was evaluated using buccal swab samples collected from *1/*1, *2/*17, *17/*17, and *2/*3 individuals. Genotypes of all individuals were confirmed by bi-directional sequencing prior to initiation of the study. A total of 16 samples were tested for each potential endogenous interfering substance (n=4 per genotype tested). Each of the following substances were added directly to the reagent tube immediately prior to insertion of the buccal swab sample.
- Whole blood - 3.5 -μl of 0.5% blood
- Human oral bacteria - 9 x 10⁴ cells
| Substance | # Samples tested | # Correct Calls | # Incorrect calls (all three mutations) | Inconclusive calls (all three mutations) | % Correct calls |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Whole blood | 16 | 15 | 0 | 1 | 93.8% |
| Oral bacteria | 16 | 15 | 0 | 1 | 93.8% |
| Total | 32 | 30 | 0 | 2 | 93.8% |

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Method comparison testing was evaluated by technicians at three sites, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, ON, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, ON, and Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON. 325 samples of genomic DNA were extracted from saliva samples for bi-directional sequencing. These samples were compared to results from the Spartan RX CYP2C19 System for precision and reproducibility testing. 5 samples gave an inconclusive result on the first pass test and were re-tested; after the second pass, all samples were called correctly. No samples were called incorrectly. The overall correct call rate for the first pass and second pass tests was 98.5% and 100%, respectively. The agreement between the RX CYP2C19 system and bi-directional sequencing is summarized below.

The product insert lists the following information:
The Spartan RX CYP2C19 identifies the CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, and CYP2C19*17 alleles. The following table lists the alleles recognized by the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assay; the polymorphism for each allele; enzyme activity; and references.
| CYP2C19 Allele | Polymorphism Recognized by Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assay | Enzyme Activity | References |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| *1 | None
*1 genotype for the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assay indicates only the absence of *2, *3, and *17 alleles. | Normal | Romkes (1991), Richardson (1995), Blaisdell (2002) |
| *2 | 19154G>A | None | de Morais (1994), Ibeanu (1998), Fukushima-Uesaka (2005), Lee (2009) |
| *3 | 17948G>A | None | de Morais (1994), Fukushima-Uesaka (2005) |
| *17 | -806C>T | Increased | Sim (2006), Rudberg (2008) |
{15}
CYP2C19*4, *5, *6, *7, *8, and other alleles may be associated with absent or reduced enzyme activity, but are significantly less frequent than the CYP2C19*2 and *3 alleles. The Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assay provides no information for these alleles.
Samples with the CYP2C19*10 genotype may be miscalled by the Spartan RX CYP2C19 Assay. Both CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*10 are poor metabolizers.

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.
