## L. Test Principle:
The ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay is a one-pass 18 minute competitive immunoassay that uses an anti-fluorescein labeled (FITC) monoclonal antibody covalently bound to paramagnetic particles (PMP), one monoclonal antibody labeled with acridium 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:
Within run and total imprecision were evaluated by testing two natural patient serum samples and four Medical Decision Pools (MDP) which consisted of 25 (OH) vitamin D spiked into human serum sample pools. Each sample was assayed in 2 replicates per run, 2 runs per day for 20 days for a total of 80 replicates. Testing was performed with two reagent lots on two analyzers. The precision results from a representative reagent lot are summarized below:
| | | | Within Run | | Total | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sample | N | Mean (ng/mL) | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| Patient 1 | 80 | 13.6 | 0.64 | 4.7 | 1.61 | 11.9 |
| Patient 2 | 80 | 17.2 | 0.91 | 5.3 | 1.70 | 9.9 |
| MDP pool 1 | 80 | 28.2 | 1.45 | 5.2 | 2.02 | 7.2 |
| MDP pool 2 | 80 | 46.1 | 1.79 | 3.9 | 2.79 | 6.1 |
| MDP pool 3 | 80 | 73.2 | 2.71 | 3.7 | 4.36 | 6.0 |
| MDP pool 4 | 80 | 114.1 | 3.44 | 3.0 | 4.71 | 4.2 |
#### b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Dilutions were prepared using an individual patient serum sample with a 25 (OH)
{7}
vitamin D value of 22 ng/mL spiked with 25 (OH) vitamin D₃ to obtain a 25 (OH) vitamin D total value of approximately 180 ng/mL, and a low sample which was prepared by acid treating human serum followed by the addition of charcoal and centrifugation then spiked with low level 25(OH) vitamin D3 near the LoD of the assay. The high serum sample and the low sample were combined in different ratios to produce 9 dilutions covering the assay range. The dilutions were run in replicates of 3 on a single analyzer using 1 lot of reagent. 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 (ng/mL) | Observed concentration (ng/mL) | % Recovery |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| P1 | 2.92 | 2.92 | 100 |
| P2 | 24.32 | 26.2 | 108 |
| P3 | 45.72 | 42.83 | 94 |
| P4 | 67.12 | 65.92 | 98 |
| P5 | 88.52 | 87.06 | 98 |
| P6 | 109.91 | 112.88 | 103 |
| P7 | 131.31 | 124.19 | 95 |
| P8 | 152.71 | 149.58 | 98 |
| P9 | 174.11 | 174.11 | 100 |
A weighted least squares linear regression analysis resulted in the following equation:
$$
y = 0.99x + 0.04 \quad r = 0.999
$$
The sponsor claims a measuring range of 4.2-150 ng/mL for the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D assay.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
## Standardization and Traceability
The Siemens ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total was originally cleared under 510(k) k110586. Siemens has modified the assay by standardizing the cleared vitamin D assay in accordance with the Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP). The VDSP is an international collaborative effort to standardize the laboratory measurement of serum 25-OH vitamin D. This collaboration involves the coordinated efforts of the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes for Standards and Technology (NIST), Ghent University, and other institutions. Please refer to http://ods.od.nih.gov/Research/VitaminD.aspx for more information on the VDSP program.
{8}
To achieve standardization against the VDSP recognized Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP), one hundred and seventy unique serum samples were obtained with 25 (OH) vitamin D values assigned using the University of Ghent's ID-LC/MS/MS 25 (OH) vitamin D Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP). The values ranged from 5 to 100 ng/mL. Using these samples, a set of 10 standards have been manufactured whose values have been assigned by method correlation to the RMP. This value assignment has aligned the candidate device to the RMP. The RMP is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material 2972.
The relationship between the ADVIA Centaur VitD Assay and ID-LC/MS/MS 25-OH vitamin D RMP is described using Deming regression:
$$
y = 0.99 x + 0.53 \, \mathrm{ng/mL}, r = 0.96
$$
The ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D Total assay (candidate device) has passed the certification process for the CDC VDSP and a certificate has been provided by the CDC. Please see the certification process at http://www.cdc.gov/labstandards/hs.html.
## Value assignment:
The ADVIA Centaur VitD calibrators, controls, and master curve verifier have been previously cleared in k110586. There are no reagent or material changes for the calibrators, controls, and master curve verifier, just a change in the traceability.
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 the Ghent University ID-LC-MS/MS. The internal standards were value assigned via method correlation using clinical samples with the Ghent University ID-LC/MS/MS assigned values.
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.
## Stability:
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, calibrators, and the MCMs have been reviewed and found to be acceptable. Controls, calibrators, and MCMs 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 blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD), and the limit of quantitation (LoQ) were determined following CLSI Document EP17-A2 guidelines. The LoD is defined as the lowest concentration of 25 (OH) vitamin D that can be detected with $95\%$ probability. LoB was performed using 5 treated human serum samples and LoD was performed using 6 low serum samples. All samples were assayed with 4 replicates per run, 2 runs per day, for over 5 days, over 2 lots of reagent and on 2 analyzers. LoQ was determined using 6 low human samples (25(OH) vitamin D total values 1.4 to $13~\mathrm{ng / mL}$ ), over 4 days, 2 runs per day, 4 replicates, using 2 lots of reagent on 1 analyzer for a total of 40 replicates per sample. LoQ was defined as the lowest concentration with an inter-assay precision of $\leq 20\%$ CV.
The LoB, LoD and LoQ are summarized below:
| LoB | LoD | LoQ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.7 ng/mL | 3.2 ng/mL | 4.2 ng/mL |
The ADVIA vitamin D assay has a measuring range of 4.2 to $150\mathrm{ng / mL}$
# e. Analytical specificity:
See k110586
An additional interferent, Fluorescein, was detected since k110586 was cleared.
An interference study was conducted by the sponsor to characterize the interference with sodium fluorescein in two steps, which includes an initial screening step and a dose response confirmation step. At the first step, sodium fluorescein was spiked into a serum sample with a 25(OH) vitamin D concentration of approximately $22\mathrm{ng / mL}$ at the following levels: $250\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ , $2.5\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ , $0.025\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ and $0.00025\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ . The samples were tested in triplicate on the ADVIA Centaur XP. The spiked samples were compared to the unspiked samples. Fluorescein interference was seen at fluorescein levels of $250\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ and $2.5\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ .
To more accurately determine the level of fluorescein that would no longer interfere with the assay, a dose response testing was performed. Sodium fluorescein was spiked into 2 serum pools with a 25(OH) vitamin D concentration of approximately $25\mathrm{ng / mL}$ and $49\mathrm{ng / mL}$ at serially diluted levels: 3.13, 1.56, 0.78, 0.39, 0.20, and $0.10\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ . These samples were tested along with control samples which did not contain fluorescein. The sponsor defined non-significant interference as the level of fluorescein that will result in $\leq 10\%$ bias. The results of the study are summarized in the table below:
{10}
| Fluorescein mcg/mL | 25 (OH) Vit D Concentration ng/mL | Percent Interference |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0 | 25.2 | NA |
| 3.13 | 129.3 | 414% |
| 1.56 | 67.6 | 169% |
| 0.78 | 42.8 | 70% |
| 0.39 | 32.2 | 28% |
| 0.20 | 28.4 | 13% |
| 0.10 | 27.2 | 8% |
| 0 | 49.1 | NA |
| 3.13 | >150 | NA |
| 1.56 | 118.7 | 142% |
| 0.78 | 78.9 | 61% |
| 0.39 | 60.4 | 23% |
| 0.20 | 55.7 | 14% |
| 0.10 | 52.7 | 7% |
The sponsor concluded that the study demonstrated that at a sodium fluorescein level of $\geq 0.10\mathrm{mcg / mL}$ will cause significant interference.
The following limitation statement has been added to the labeling:
"Do not use samples which contain fluorescein. Fluorescein levels $>0.10~\mu \mathrm{g / mL}$ can produce falsely elevated results in this assay. Interference testing with varying levels of sodium fluorescein as high as $3.13\mathrm{ug / mL}$ at clinically relevant concentrations of 25(OH) vitamin D ($\sim 25 - 50\mathrm{ng / mL}$) can result in 25(OH) vitamin D concentrations to be greater than $150\mathrm{ng / mL}$. Evidence suggests that patients undergoing retinal fluorescein angiography can retain amounts of fluorescein in the body for up to 48 to 72 hours post-treatment. In the cases of patients with renal insufficiency, including many diabetics, retention could be much longer. Such samples can produce falsely elevated values when tested with this assay, and should not be tested."

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
{11}
A method comparison study was performed to compare the modified (standardized) ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D assay (candidate device) to the non-standardized ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D assay (predicate device), one hundred and seventy-seven native human serum samples with 25 (OH) vitamin D values ranging from 5.0 ng/ml to 140.0 ng/mL were assayed in singlicate using one reagent lot of the candidate device and predicate device. Deming regression was used for the regression analysis and the results are summarized below:
$$
y = 0.78x + 3.34, r = 0.99
$$
The slope showed an approximate bias of -22% between the candidate device and the predicate device; however, this shift is expected because the purpose of the device modification was to adjust the calibration to better align with the VDSP reference sample concentration target levels. Therefore, test results from the candidate device do not, and are not expected to, directly correlate with test results from the predicate device. Laboratories that use the ADVIA Centaur Vitamin D assay should be aware of the significantly different performance of the modified assay.
An additional method comparison study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy between the candidate device and the RMP, University of Ghent's ID-LC/MS/MS method. The method comparison against the RMP was the basis of the substantial equivalence determination.
A method comparison study was performed to compare the 25-OH vitamin D concentrations of serum samples using the candidate device and the University of Ghent ID-LC/MS/MS 25-OH vitamin D Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP). One hundred and twenty-two independent serum samples, composed of 116 native and 6 spiked samples, with RMP assigned concentrations ranging from 7.8 ng/mL to 148.1 ng/mL were assayed in a singlicate using one lot of the candidate device. Deming regression was used for the regression analysis and results are summarized below:
$$
y = 0.93x + 2.89, r = 0.99
$$
Results correlate well around medical decision range of 10 to 30 ng/mL; however results above 50 ng/mL starts to show some scatter. However, the scatter in that part of the assay range is clinically insignificant.

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.
