L. Test Principle:
pH is measured using a hydrogen ion selective membrane. One side of the membrane is in contact with a solution of constant pH. The other side is in contact with a solution of unknown pH. A change in potential develops which is proportional to the pH difference of these solutions. This change in potential is measured against a reference electrode of constant potential.
pCO2 is measured with a modified pH sensor. Carbon dioxide in the unknown solution makes contact with a hydrogen ion selective membrane CO2 diffuses across the membrane into a thin layer of bicarbonate buffer in response to partial pressure difference. This solution then becomes equilibrated with the external gas pressure of the fluid in contact with the outer surface of the membrane. CO2 in the solution becomes hydrated producing carbonic acid which results in a change in hydrogen ion activity. The measured potential is related to the logarithm of $P_{\mathrm{CO2}}$ content of the sample after compensation of the measured potential of the pH sensor.
pO2 is measured amperometrically by the generation of a current at the sensor surface. As oxygen diffuses through a gas permeable membrane, the oxygen molecules are reduced at the cathode, consuming 4 electrons for every molecule of oxygen reduced. This flow of electrons is then measured by the sensor and is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen.
Hematocrit is defined as the percentage of red blood cells to the total blood volume and can be obtained by measuring electrical resistance of the blood sample. Two standard solutions are used to calibrate the hematocrit sensor and to obtain the slope. The analyzer then measures the electrical resistance of the blood sample to obtain the hematocrit value. The hematocrit value obtained is corrected for the concentration of the sodium ion.
Glucose measurement is based on the level of H2O2 produced during the enzymatic reaction between glucose and oxygen molecules in the presence of the glucose oxidase enzyme. The
{9}
current generated by the flow of electrons at the surface of the platinum sensor is proportional to the glucose concentration of the sample.
Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, iCa are measured by ion selective electrodes. An electrical potential is developed according the Nernst Equation for a specific ion. When compared to a reference, this electrical potential is translated into voltage and then in to the ion concentration of the sample.
Lactate measurement is based on the level of H₂O₂ produced during the enzymatic reaction between lactate and oxygen molecules in the presence of the lactate oxidase enzyme. The current generated by the flow of electrons generated from oxidation at the surface of a platinum sensor is proportional to the lactate concentration of the sample.

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
The linearity of all other Stat Profile Prime CCS analytes previously reviewed in k131703.
{13}
Lactate:
A linearity study was performed using lithium heparin whole blood samples. For lactate, 11 levels were prepared by spiking a whole blood sample with lactate to achieve a concentration near 20 mmol/L and then diluting with a whole blood sample with a 0.2 mmol/L lactate concentration to span the analytical measurement range. Each blood level was analyzed in triplicate on each of the three Stat Profile Prime CCS analyzers and on the predicate, the pHOx Ultra analyzers. The pHOx Ultra analyzers were used to establish the target value of each blood level for each parameter. Results of the linear regression analysis of one representative analyzer are shown below.
$$
y = 0.9946x + 0.1178, R = 0.9992
$$
The linearity study results support lactate claimed measuring range of 0.4-20.0 mmol/L.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The traceability of the other Stat Profile Prime CCS analytes were previously reviewed in k131703.
Traceability: Lactate
Nova standards are made from lithium lactate and lithium reference standards were made from NIST SRM 924A (Lithium Carbonate) and mV ratio was used as means in establishing the traceability.
Shelf-life Stability:
The real time stability study protocol and acceptance criteria was reviewed and found acceptable. The results support a shelf-life of 18 months for the Stat Profile Prime Calibrator Cartridge CCS, Stat Profile Prime Auto QC Cartridge CCS, Stat Profile Prime Ampuled Control ABG/CCS; and a 24 month shelf-life for the Linearity Standard Set A when stored at 2-8° C.
Open vial stability:
The controls and calibrators are designed to be used immediately after opening.
Value assignment:
The control and calibrator value assignment of the other Stat Profile Prime CCS analytes were previously reviewed in k131703.
Lactate:
Prime Cal Cartridge: The calibrator value assignment for lactate was performed over 2 days on three analyzers using 12 samples from the test lot and 6 samples of the reference lot. The samples were run in replicates of 3. The calibrator range is based on an internal
14
{14}
procedure and acceptance criteria. Calibrator lactate target values are listed below:
Cal A: 2.0 mmol/L
Cal B: 10.0 mmol/L
Control Value assignment: The lactate control value assignment was performed over 2 days on two analyzers using 8 samples from the test lot and 8 samples of the reference lot. The samples were run in replicates of 3. The control range is based on an internal procedure and acceptance criteria. Control lactate ranges are listed below:
Stat Profile Prime CCS Control Ranges for Lactate
| Prime Auto -QC Cartridge | Range (mmol/L) |
| --- | --- |
| Level 1 | 0.5-1.1 |
| Level 2 | 2.3-2.9 |
| Level 3 | 5.7-7.1 |
| Prime Ampuled QC | |
| Level 1 | 0.7-1.3 |
| Level 2 | 2.5-3.1 |
| Level 3 | 6.4-7.8 |
Linearity Set A Value Assignment: The linearity set concentrations are kept identical to the reference lot and must pass in-house specifications. The concentrations are verified by running the linearity set controls in triplicate on two analyzers. The linearity set lactate ranges are listed below:
Nova Linearity Standard Set A Ranges for Lactate
| Linearity Set A | Range (mmol/L) |
| --- | --- |
| Level 1 | 15.0-21.0 |
| Level 2 | 8.3-11.3 |
| Level 3 | 1.7-2.3 |
| Level 4 | 0.3-0.7 |
d. Detection limit:
The detection limits of the other Stat Profile Prime CCS analytes were previously reviewed in k131703.
Lactate:
Limit of Detection studies were performed according to the CLSI EP-17A guideline.
Limit of Blank (LoB): Blank (zero level) human whole blood samples were measured 25 times of 4 different analyzers for a total of 100 measurements. The LoB was estimated non-parametrically as the $95^{\text{th}}$ percentile of the measurement. Linear interpolation between the $95^{\text{th}}$ and $96^{\text{th}}$ result yielded a LoB estimate of $0.30 \, \text{mmol/L}$ .
15
{15}
Limit of Detection (LoD): Three low level human whole blood samples ranging from 0.36 to $0.59\mathrm{mmol / L}$ were measured in replicates of 25 on 4 analyzers. LoD was determined based on the following equation: $\mathrm{LoD} = \mathrm{LoB} + 1.6494*\mathrm{SD}$ . The LoD was determined to be $0.40\mathrm{mmol / L}$ .
Limit of Quantitation (LoQ): The sponsor claims that LoQ is the same as the LoD because the measurement accuracy relative to the reference method is less than $20\%$ bias. LoQ was determined to be $0.40 \, \text{mmol/L}$ .
Stat Profile Prime CCS Analyzer System Lactate Assay Detection Limits
| LoB | LoD | LoQ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0.30 mmol/L | 0.40 mmol/L | 0.4 mmol/L |
The claimed measuring range of lactate is 0.40 to $20\mathrm{mmol / L}$
# e. Analytical specificity:
The specificity of the other Stat Profile Prime CCS analytes was previously reviewed in k131703.
# Lactate:
Interference testing was performed according to CLSI EP7-A2 guidelines. The study used spiked and diluted whole blood samples with lactate concentrations of approximately 3.0 to $5.5\mathrm{mmol / L}$ containing potential interferents at normal physiological levels. The bias or percent difference between the mean test value and the mean control value were calculated. The sponsor defines significant interference as $\geq 10\%$ bias.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Method comparison study for all analytes (except for lactate) was previously cleared in k131703 for clinical laboratory use only. In order to add Point-of-Care claim, sponsor has conducted POC study using the intended POC operators at the intended use environment to demonstrate that POC operators could generate equivalent results as the clinical laboratory professionals. A method comparison study was performed at 3 POC sites by a total of 53 different POC personnel (respiratory therapist and nurses) using the analyzer's syringe mode method. Approximately 230 Lithium heparin whole blood gas specimens from syringes were analyzed to compare the whole blood results obtained by trained laboratory personnel vs respiratory therapy POC personnel on the same specimens. Less than 10% of samples for each analyte were altered in order to adequately span the measuring range. Each of the three sites
{17}
produced similar method comparison data. Syringe Mode Method comparison study data is shown below from one representative POC site and the three combined POC sites:

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).

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.
