Regulatory Classification
Identification
Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

I. Device Description:
The IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay uses nucleic acid extraction and purification technology, performed on the Abbott m2000 Sample Preparation System (m2000sp), combined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), performed on the Abbott PCR analyzer (m2000rt), to generate and detect amplified products from HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA that is isolated from clinical specimens. The presence of HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 target DNA is indicated by the fluorescent signal generated through the use of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes on the Abbott m2000rt instrument. The probes do not generate a signal unless they are specifically bound to the amplified product. The amplification cycle at which fluorescent signal is detected by the Abbott m2000rt is inversely proportional to the HSV-1 and/or HSV-2 DNA target concentration present in the original sample.
The IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay consists of two reagent kits packaged together:
- IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 Amplification Reagent Kit
- IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 Control Kit

L. Test Principle:
The IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay enables detection and differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA from clinical specimens and Internal Control through the following workflow:
Sample Preparation
HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA is extracted from the clinical specimens by the Abbott m2000sp, an automated sample preparation system designed to use magnetic microparticles for the purification of nucleic acids. The Abbott mSample Preparation System $_{\text{DNA}}$ (4 x 24 Preps) reagents lyse the HSV and the released DNA is then captured on magnetic microparticles that are subsequently washed to remove unbound sample components. The bound DNA is eluted and transferred to an Abbott 96-Deep-Well plate. The DNA is then ready for amplification. The Internal Control is introduced into each specimen or control prior to the sample preparation procedure and is processed along with the controls and specimens.
Reagent Preparation and Reaction Plate Assembly
The Abbott m2000sp combines the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 Amplification Reagent Pack components (IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 Amplification Reagent and IMDx PCR Reagent-A) to prepare the Master Mix. The Abbott m2000sp dispenses the resulting Master Mix into the Abbott 96-Well Optical Reaction Plate along with aliquots of the nucleic acid samples prepared by the Abbott m2000sp. After manual application of the Abbott Optical Adhesive Cover, the plate is ready for transfer to the Abbott m2000rt. Up to 96 tests can be performed during each run, inclusive of a positive and negative control.
Amplification
During the amplification/detection reaction on the Abbott m2000rt instrument, the target DNA is amplified by DNA polymerase in the presence of deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) and magnesium. The IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 Amplification Reagent contains specific amplification primers for the HSV-1 Glycoprotein D gene, HSV-2 UL30 gene, and the IMDx Internal Control-B targets. During PCR amplification, high temperature is used to separate the strands of double-stranded DNA. When the reaction is cooled to a temperature at which DNA annealing can again occur, the analyte-specific, single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide primers bind to the analyte DNA. The primers are extended by DNA polymerase, thereby making an exact copy of a short stretch of the analyte DNA target region. The DNA polymerase enzyme is a thermophilic enzyme that has been modified in its active site by a molecule that renders it inactive. When the enzyme is heated prior to the initiation of PCR, the inhibitory molecule dissociates from the enzyme allowing it to regain its activity.
During each round of thermal cycling, amplification products dissociate to single strands at high temperature, allowing primer annealing and extension as the temperature is lowered. Exponential amplification of the target is achieved through repeated cycling between higher and lower temperatures. Amplification of the HSV-1 Glycoprotein D gene, HSV-2 UL30 gene, and the IMDx Internal Control-B targets takes place simultaneously in the same reaction.

# Detection
During each round of PCR amplification, the fluorescent probes anneal to the amplified target DNA, if present. The probes are labeled with different fluorescent molecules allowing the HSV-1 Glycoprotein D gene, HSV-2 UL30 gene, and IMDx Internal Control-B targets to be distinguished from each other. The probes are single-stranded, linear DNA oligonucleotides modified with a fluorescent moiety covalently linked to one end of the probe and a quenching moiety linked to the other end. When the probe binds to its complementary sequence of the target during amplification, the fluorophore is released, allowing fluorescent emission and detection.
Since this fluorescence occurs during every cycle, the PCR reaction can be read in real-time. The amplification cycle at which fluorescent signal is detected by the Abbott m2000rt is inversely proportional to the HSV-1 Glycoprotein D gene and HSV-2 UL30 gene DNA target concentration present in the original sample.
# Result Calling:
- HSV-1 and HSV-2: Results are reported independently for HSV-1, HSV-2 and IMDx Internal Control-B.
- Positive and Negative Controls: If the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 Positive Control and IMDx Negative Control-B are outside of predetermined ranges, an error code is generated and no results for the plate are reported.
- Internal Control: If the IMDx Internal Control-B is outside its pre-determined range, an IC flag is generated. If no HSV-1 and HSV-2 targets are detected in a sample where the IMDx Internal Control-B is outside its predetermined range, an error message is generated, the sample is invalidated, and no HSV-1 or HSV-2 target results are reported.
| Target | Result Reported | | | | |

| HSV-1 | Detected | Not Detected | Detected | Not Detected | Not Detected |
| HSV-2 | Not Detected | Detected | Detected | Not Detected | Not Detected |

1. Analytical performance:
a. Reproducibility:
The reproducibility of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay was evaluated at three sites using a panel consisting of seven members. The panel members were
{5}
formulated with a single target present (HSV-1 MacIntyre strain or HSV-2 MS strain) at three concentrations: 2-3 X LoD (Positive), 1 X LoD (Low Positive), and
$< 1$ X LoD (High Negative). A true negative sample, where no HSV was added, was also prepared using M4RT viral transport medium. Each panel member was tested in replicates of three, for five days, at three study sites. Testing at each site was performed by two operators and each operator ran the panel once a day. The study was conducted using one instrument system (Abbott $m2000sp$ and Abbott $m2000rt$ ) and one reagent lot of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott $m2000$ assay at each site.

d. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
# Internal Control-B
The Internal Control-B consists of synthetic plasmid DNA, unrelated to HSV-1 and HSV-2. An internal control is introduced into each specimen during sample preparation to serve as an internal control. The internal control is amplified in the same reaction as the HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA targets, and serves to demonstrate that the sample preparation and amplification processes have proceeded correctly for each sample. The internal control primer and probe are pre-mixed in the Amplification Reagent.
# External Assay Controls
The positive control consists of a preparation of intact, inactivated HSV-1 and HSV-2 and is run as a separate control to demonstrate that the HSV-1/2 PCR reagents are functional. In addition, the positive control functions as a process control to demonstrate that sample preparation has proceeded correctly during the run. A negative control consisting of M4RT viral transport medium is included in each run to independently verify the absence of contaminating target material in assay reagents.
# e. Detection limit:
A Limit of Detection (LoD) study was performed to evaluate the analytical sensitivity of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay using two representative strains of HSV-1 (McIntyre & Clinical Isolate 1) and two representative strains of HSV-2 (MS
{7}
& Clinical Isolate 1). To narrow the range for LoD analysis, a series of six 10-fold dilutions of virus in M4RT viral transport medium was tested with the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay in replicates of six. From this preliminary study, a series of six 2-fold dilutions of the same strains of HSV-1 (McIntyre & Clinical Isolate 1) and HSV-2 (MS & Clinical Isolate 1) was tested with three kit lots with 20 replicates per dilution for each kit lot. The results from the three kit lots were combined to provide a total of 60 results for each level of an HSV strain and each LoD was determined using probit analysis. The final LoDs are presented in the table below.
Limit of Detection
| Strain | Limit of Detection (95% CI) |
| --- | --- |
| HSV-1 MacIntyre | 13.47 TCID50/mL (10.52 – 20.11) |
| HSV-1 Clinical Isolate 1 | 7.63 TCID50/mL (5.89 – 10.90) |
| HSV-2 MS | 0.68 TCID50/mL (0.52 – 0.97) |
| HSV-2 Clinical Isolate 1 | 219.41 TCID50/mL (178.45 – 305.37) |
Analytical Reactivity: In addition, forty (40) clinical isolates (20 HSV-1 and 20 HSV-2) were tested for reactivity with the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay. The titered stocks of frozen isolates were obtained from the supplier. Each isolate was diluted to $3\mathrm{X}$ LoD in M4RT viral transport medium and was tested in triplicate. All strains were detected by the assay, demonstrating that the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay can detect a broad range of both HSV-1 and HSV-2 isolates.
# f. Analytical specificity:
A study was performed to evaluate the performance of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay in the presence of fifty (50) microorganisms and human DNA that might be found in anogenital or oral skin lesion specimens. The panel members were obtained from suppliers as purified genomic DNA (GD) or quantified cultures (QC), or prepared in house (IHC) by growing each organism and quantifying the culture. Bacteria were tested at $10^{6}\mathrm{cfu / ml}$ or higher for bacteria and $10^{5}\mathrm{pfu / ml}$ or higher for viruses. For bacteria that were difficult to obtain or grow, purified DNA was used in the place of the intact microorganism, and tested at a concentration of $\geq 1\times 10^{6}$ genome copies/mL. Human DNA was tested at a concentration of $1\times 10^{5}$ genome copies/mL. All samples were prepared by diluting microorganisms or DNA into M4RT viral transport medium prior to testing for cross-reactivity. No strains tested were positive for HSV-1 or HSV-2 using the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay. Similarly, no cross-reactivity was observed with human DNA.
To assess microbial interference, each test microorganism from the panel was added
{8}
to a sample tube containing one of four strains of HSV (HSV-1 MacIntyre, HSV-1 Clinical Isolate 1, HSV-2 MS, or HSV-2 Clinical Isolate 1) at $2 - 3\mathrm{X}$ LoD in M4RT viral transport medium. Each potentially interfering microorganism was tested in three (3) replicates at the same levels used in the cross-reactivity study described above. The IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay was challenged with microorganisms and the results of each test run were assessed for a change in result call from detected to not detected for the HSV-1 or HSV-2 target. No evidence of microbial interference was observed for any of the 50 test microorganisms included in the analysis. Similarly, no evidence of interference was observed for human DNA.

# g. Interfering Studies
This study was performed to evaluate potential interference with the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay with a panel of twenty-eight (28) biological and chemical substances. All of the potentially interfering substances were tested at concentrations at or above physiological levels or typical usage levels with two HSV-1 strains (MacIntyre and Clinical Isolate 1), and two HSV-2 strains (MS and Clinical Isolate 1). The study was carried out in the presence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 at $2 - 3\mathrm{X}$ LoD to evaluate potential interference with the detection of the HSV-1 and HSV-2 targets. The study was also carried out in the absence of HSV to evaluate potential interference with the detection of the internal control of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay.

# h. Specimen Stability in Viral Transport Media
The performance of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay and the specimen stability were assessed with the following viral transport media: Remel M4, Remel M4RT, Remel M5, Remel M6, and BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT). Each transport medium was spiked with HSV-1 MacIntyre strain and HSV-2 MS strain at 2-3 X LoD and stored and tested at the following temperatures and intervals: Refrigerated $(2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $8^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ /Day 0, 2, 4, 7, and 8; Frozen $(-30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $-10^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ / Day 0, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 21, 28, 35, 64, 81, and 177. The viral transport media were also tested in the absence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 to determine if the viral transport media interfered with the detection of the internal control in negative samples.
For the specimen freeze-thaw study, stability was assessed by alternately freezing specimens at $-30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $-10^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for a minimum of 2 hours and thawing at room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours. Each specimen was tested in replicates of three (3) for the stability studies at different conditions.
There was no interference observed with the Remel M4, Remel M4RT, Remel M5, Remel M6, and BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT) media for the detection of HSV-1 and HSV-2 target or the internal control. The study data supported the stability claims for HSV-1 and HSV-2 specimens collected in Remel M4, Remel M4RT, Remel M5, Remel M6, and BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT) viral transport media refrigerated $(2^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $8^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ for 7 days and frozen $(-30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to $-10^{\circ}\mathrm{C})$ for 6 months. The data also supported the claim that the specimens may undergo three (3) freeze/thaw cycles.

i. Competitive Inhibition
Competitive inhibition of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay was evaluated to assess the potential for interference in HSV-1/2 target detection when both viruses are present in a sample. Two strains of HSV-1 (MacIntyre and Clinical Isolate 1) and two strains of HSV-2 (MS and Clinical Isolate 1) were used for the study. Contrived samples were made to mimic HSV-1 and HSV-2 co-infections, where one target was present at LoD and the second target was present at a higher concentration. No interference was seen in the detection of both HSV-1 strains in the presence of either HSV-2 strain at concentrations of up to $1.0 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{TCID}_{50} / \mathrm{mL}$. The highest concentration of HSV-1 that could be present while maintaining detection of the HSV-2 Clinical Isolate-1 target at 1X LoD was $100 \mathrm{TCID}_{50} / \mathrm{mL}$. The highest concentration of HSV-1 that could be present while maintaining detection of the HSV-2 MS target at 1 X LoD was $50 \mathrm{TCID}_{50} / \mathrm{mL}$.
h. Carry-over/Cross Contamination
Five assay runs were performed with alternating high positive and negative samples using two contrived HSV-positive samples: one prepared using intact HSV-1 and HSV-2 at cycle number (CN) values of 26.6 (HSV-1) and 25.5 (HSV-2), and a second using HSV-1 and HSV-2 plasmid at cycle number (CN) values of 18.2 (HSV-1) and 19.8 (HSV-2). No carryover events (0/138) were observed with the contrived HSV samples formulated with intact virus. A carryover rate of $1.4\%$ (2/144) was observed with the plasmid-based contrived HSV samples.

# Clinical Performance
The performance of the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay was evaluated at four geographically diverse locations within the United States. A total of 954 prospective specimens (807 anogenital and 147 oral) were tested by the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay and were compared to results obtained from the ELVIS® (Enzyme Linked Virus Inducible System) HSV ID and $\mathrm{D}^3$ Typing Test System (Diagnostic Hybrids, Athens, OH). The reference ELVIS viral culture used in this study is unable to detect co-infected specimens and cannot identify HSV-1 if HSV-2 is identified first. Consequently, if a specimen was positive for HSV-2, it was removed from the calculation of the HSV-1 clinical performance.
Prospective Studies: One hundred and sixty one (161) anogenital prospective specimens identified as HSV-2 positive by ELVIS viral culture were removed from the initial 807 anogenital specimens for the calculation of the HSV-1 clinical performance. Due to low prevalence of HSV-2 in oral specimens, only two oral specimens identified as HSV-2 positive by ELVIS viral culture were removed from the initial 147 oral specimens for the calculation of the HSV-1 clinical performance.
Retrospective Studies: A total of 54 retrospective specimens (27 anogenital and 27 oral) were tested with the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay and results were compared to historical results from the ELVIS® HSV ID and $\mathrm{D}^3$ Typing Test System. Twelve (12) anogenital specimens identified as HSV-2 positive by ELVIS viral culture were removed from the initial 27 anogenital specimens for the calculation of the HSV-1 clinical performance. There was no HSV-2 detected by the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 in the 27 oral specimens in agreement with the historical culture results.
Results from the prospective and retrospective studies are presented in the tables below.

HSV-2 Oral Contrived Specimen Study: A contrived specimen study was performed to provide additional performance data for detection of HSV-2 in oral samples. HSV-negative oral samples (culture negative and PCR negative) used for the contrived
{15}
study were remainders from the clinical specimens used for the method comparison study. Thirty (30) contrived HSV-2 positive oral samples were prepared by spiking HSV-2 virus into HSV-negative oral samples. HSV-2 was spiked in HSV-negative oral samples at concentrations 2-3 X LoD, 10 X LoD, 100 X LoD, 1,000 X LoD and 10,000 X LoD. In addition, fifteen (15) HSV-1 positive oral and fifteen (15) HSV-negative oral samples remaining from the clinical specimens used for the method comparison study were also tested. All samples were randomized and blinded to the operator prior to testing. HSV-2 was detected in all contrived samples at all concentrations tested.

Positive and Negative Predictive Value: Hypothetical positive and negative predictive values (PPV & NPV) for the IMDx HSV-1/2 for Abbott m2000 assay are shown below. These calculations are based on hypothetical prevalence and overall sensitivity and specificity per specimen type as determined in the clinical trial.
For HSV-1, these calculations are based upon an overall sensitivity and specificity of $99.0\%$ and $96.3\%$ , respectively, for anogenital swabs and $100.0\%$ and $77.8\%$ , respectively, for oral swabs. For HSV-2, these calculations are based upon an overall sensitivity and specificity of $97.5\%$ and $89.5\%$ , respectively, for anogenital swabs and $0.0\%$ and $98.6\%$ , respectively, for oral swabs.
PPV was calculated using:
(Sensitivity x Prevalence)/([Sensitivity x Prevalence] + [1 - Specificity] x [1 - Prevalence]).
NPV was calculated using:
(Specificity x [1 - Prevalence])/([1 - Sensitivity] x Prevalence + Specificity x [1 - Prevalence]).

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).

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.
