I. Device Description:
The GenPrime Drugs of Abuse (DOA) Reader System consists of a small, portable high resolution flatbed scanner, customized GenPrime DOA Reader Software, and lateral flow tests that are intended for use in the system. The scanner has a custom scanner lid with an opening for the test device, and a scanner stand, which places the scanner bed at the appropriate angle for running and reading the test devices. The system is intended for use with two test devices, the OS Cup and the Split Key Cup, both of which are rapid, single use, disposable immunochromatographic tests for the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in human urine.
During analysis, an image of a compatible test device is captured and the software algorithm determines from the image whether the presence or absence of colored test lines is associated with a positive or negative result for each analyte on a test format. The software also confirms the validity of the results by verifying the presence of control lines.

L. Test Principle:
The GenPrime Drugs of Abuse (DOA) Reader System measures density of visible lines against background for two single-use immunochromatographic drug test formats: the OS Cup and the Split Key Cup. At the conclusion of the test (5 minutes for both the OS Cup and the Split Key Cup), the image of the device is captured by the scanner and the software algorithm determines from the image whether the presence or absence of colored test lines is associated with a positive or negative result for each analyte on a test format. The software also confirms the validity of the results by verifying the presence of control lines. The results are recorded and archived in a database along with an image of the test, patient and operator information and the time of image capture.
The OS Cup consists of a test card with drug strips integrated into a one-step urine cup. Each drug strip consists of: (1) a purple colored pad containing mouse monoclonal anti-drug antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold and rabbit IgG antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold, and (2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing 1-3 Test lines and a Control line. The Test line is coated with drug-protein conjugate and the Control line is coated with goat anti-rabbit IgG antibodies.
The Split Key Cup consists of a test card with drug strips integrated into a urine cup with a partition that requires a key activation step to disperse urine into the cup for testing to begin. Each drug strip consists of: (1) a purple colored pad containing mouse monoclonal anti-drug antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold and rabbit IgG antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold, and (2) a nitrocellulose membrane strip containing 1-3 Test lines and a Control line. The Test line is coated with drug-protein conjugate and the Control line is coated with goat anti-rabbit IgG antibodies.
For each cup, a line must form at the Control line position to indicate that sufficient sample was applied and that the reagents are migrating properly. If a Control line does not form, the test is invalid.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The precision studies were performed at three sites representative of laboratory, workplace, and POC settings with a minimum of two operators per site. The operators performed the tests following the instructions for use, which are included with the GenPrime DOA Reader and with each test device intended for use with the GenPrime DOA Reader System.
Precision studies were performed with the target analytes at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200% of the cutoff during a 20 working day period using solutions containing drug concentrations confirmed by GC/MS. The identity of the samples was masked from the operator.
Performance of the GenPrime DOA Reader was evaluated for each drug analyte by testing each drug at the stated concentration using a minimum of 10 tests per operator.

The sponsor conducted several studies to determine the root cause of the poor performance demonstrated by some of the drug analytes in the precision study shown above. The root cause was identified to be a preservative contained in the original samples tested. To verify that the root cause was correctly identified, a supplemental study was conducted at two point of care sites using new samples that did not contain the interfering substance. Results from this testing compared to the results from the original precision study are shown in the tables below.

date for shelf-life stability: 12 months for both devices (OS Cup and SK Cup). Shelf-life studies are ongoing.
# d. Detection limit:
Analytical performance of the device around the cutoff is described in the precision section M.1.a above.
# e. Analytical specificity:
Analytical specificity studies were performed to determine whether drugs and drug metabolites within the same class of drugs or with similar molecular structures cross-react in the test systems. Reference standards for the various metabolites and compounds were prepared at $100\mu \mathrm{g / mL}$ in pooled negative human urine samples. Compounds that tested positive were serially diluted until a negative result was observed. Results shown are expressed as the minimum concentration producing a positive result in the indicated assay. A list of these compounds and their level of cross reactivity is shown below for each cup.

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.
