| Principle and procedure | The assay is based on the principle of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Drugs in the oral fluid sample compete with the drug conjugate donor fluorophore for a fixed number of binding sites on the individual drug antibody acceptor reagents. When acceptor and donor fluorophores are brought in to close proximity, through the binding event, fluorescent energy transfer is measured. The amount of drug in the specimen sample is inversely proportional to the assay signal as measured by time resolved fluorescence. | The assay is based on the principle of spectrophotometry. The sample analytes compete with analyte conjugates to one inactive fragment of beta-galactosidase for antibody binding sites. The amount of drug in the specimen is directly proportional to the assay signal as measured by absorbance. |

L. Test Principle:
The RapidFRET Oral Fluid Assay for Cocaine is an In Vitro Diagnostic competitive immunoassay used to detect cocaine in human oral fluid. This is a ready-to-use homogenous system that involves energy transfer between an acceptor fluorophore labeled to an antibody and a donor fluorophore labeled to drug. The assay is based on competition between drug in the sample and drug labeled with the donor fluorophore for a fixed number of binding sites on the antibody reagent. When acceptor and donor fluorophores are brought into close proximity through a binding event, energy transfer occurs. The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) signal is measured at the wavelength of the acceptor fluorophore and is inversely proportional to the amount of drug in the sample. A Cutoff Calibrator is used to translate the sample measurement into a positive or negative result. Controls are used to establish and monitor precision and accuracy.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
All performance testing of the RapidFRET Oral Fluid Assay for Cocaine was performed on the RapidFRET Integrated Workstation.

b. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability
The cutoff calibrator and controls are prepared by spiking known concentrations of Cocaine into synthetic oral fluid to obtain the cutoff level calibrator (20.0 ng/mL), and the positive (30.0 ng/mL) and negative (10.0 ng/mL) controls. The negative (0 ng/mL) calibrator is drug free synthetic oral fluid. Calibrators and controls are prepared from primary standards (Cocaine at 1 mg/mL in methanol) purchased from a commercial vendor that uses NIST traceable weights and specific assays, such as HPLC and GC/MS, to confirm drug levels.
Value Assignment – Calibrators and Controls
Calibrator and Control lots are value assigned during the manufacturing process in two stages. During the first stage new lots are assayed against a minimum of one previously accepted, released and unexpired Calibrator and Control lot using RapidFRET reagents. During the second stage, each new manufactured accepted lot of Cutoff Calibrator, and of both Positive and Negative Controls is quantitatively confirmed by MS based method for target analyte concentration, and released only if the Sponsor’s acceptance criteria are met.
Calibrators and Controls Stability Studies
Real-time stability studies were conducted on multiple lots of RapidFRET Oral Fluid Calibrators and RapidFRET Oral Fluid Controls. The stability protocols for
{6}
open and closed vial were reviewed and found acceptable. The open vial and closed vial study results support the open vial stability claim of 30 days and closed vial stability claim of 12 months when stored at 2 to 8 °C for the RapidFRET Oral Fluid Calibrators and RapidFRET Oral Fluid Controls.
## Sample Shipment - Stability Studies
A neat oral fluid pool was spiked with Cocaine to 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% of cutoff corresponding to approximately 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 ng/mL concentration of Cocaine. Each spike was subsequently processed through a RapidEASE Oral Fluid Collection device to mimic the actual collection process as closely as possible. Aliquots were stored and handled according to the collection device insert. Two sets of samples were shipped from California to Maine multiple times by FedEx Standard Overnight Express over 8 days, (one set shipped at ambient temperature of 6.0 °C to 24.5 °C and high R.H. of 51.5% to 100% with most readings above 95% and the second set shipped at ambient temperature of 0 °C to 24.0 °C and low R.H. of 2.0% to 48.5% with the majority of readings less than 15%). Samples were assayed using the RapidFRET Oral Fluid Assay for Cocaine before and after each shipment. In addition, at various time points, aliquots were reserved and analyzed quantitatively by a mass spectrophotometry based method. The physical integrity of the RapidEASE sample tube was also evaluated following each shipment. The mass spectrometric quantitative results for high R.H. and low R.H. exposed samples were consistent with RapidFRET Oral Fluid Assay for Cocaine results. Percent recoveries (at various time points compared to time before shipping) ranged from 98.6% to 104.5% and 98.7% to 104.7% for the samples exposed to high RH and low RH conditions, respectively.
## Sample Handling and Storage - Stability Studies
Conditions for oral fluid sample handling and storage were evaluated by preparing oral fluid samples with Cocaine from approximately 0% Cutoff (0 ng/mL) to 200% Cutoff (40 ng/mL) in approximately 25% increments. Samples were processed through RapidEASE oral fluid collection devices and stored under various conditions including room temperature (21°C to 28°C) for 22 days, refrigerated (3°C to 7°C) for 56 days, and frozen (-10°C to -25°C) for 231 days (MS data). Samples were periodically sampled and analyzed by quantitative mass spectrometry. For each storage condition two sets of 9 levels each (18 total samples) were prepared and analyzed individually. Percent recoveries ranged from 90.6% to 95.8% after storage at room temperature for 22 days, 92.8% to 97.5% after 56 days of refrigeration, and 92.2% to 97.7% freezing for 231 days. Based on the sample handling and storage study results, the sponsor has included the following statement in the labeling, "Room temperature storage for up to 7 days, refrigerated storage (2°C to 8°C) up to 30 days and frozen storage (-10°C to -25°C) for up to 6 months."
## Sample Recovery Study
Recovery studies were conducted by aliquoting neat, human oral fluid pool into
{7}
glass tubes and spiking with cocaine to achieve concentrations ranging from 0% of cutoff (0 ng/mL) to 200% of cutoff (40 ng/mL) in replicates of five for each level in increments of 25% (5.0 ng/mL). Approximately half of the volume of each of these 'PRE-RapidEASE' samples was then removed and processed through a new RapidEASE Oral Fluid collector, mimicking as closely as possible the actual sample collection protocol, resulting in a 'POST- RapidEASE' sample. The concentration of cocaine in both the PRE- RapidEASE and the POST-RapidEASE samples for each spike level were measured by Mass Spectrometry. Recoveries ranged from 92.0% to 108.5% for single point measurements with average (N=5) recovery values ranging between 96.0% and 104.5% indicating complete recovery of analyte from the device following collection.

## Structurally Related Compounds
Compounds sharing structural or conformational similarity to cocaine were tested for cross-reactivity with the candidate device. Thirteen (13) structurally related compounds were determined to have cross-reactivity at concentrations less than 30,000 ng/mL. No additional compounds exhibited any unexpected results in the presence of 10 ng/mL or 30 ng/mL cocaine. The structurally related compounds that exhibited cross-reactivity with the candidate device in neat oral fluid pool with 0 ng/mL cocaine were titrated to determine the percent cross-reactivity. The concentration (ng/mL) of cross-reactant that gives a
{10}
response equivalent to the cutoff, and the percent cross-reactivity are presented in the table below.

*Hydroxymethoxymethcathinone (HMMC), a major metabolite of methylone, shares structural similarities to isoxsuprine and has been shown to cause interference. This was observed in the accuracy study, where the presence of Methylone and its metabolite (4-hydroxy-3-methoxymethcathinone) produced a positive result with no cocaine present.
# Potential Interferents and Common Substances

Aliquots of a neat oral fluid pool were spiked with the potential interferents (at concentrations shown in the table below) and with cocaine at $\pm 50\%$ of the Cutoff level (10 ng/mL and 30ng/mL), processed through a RapidEASE Oral Fluid Collector, and screened
{11}
using the candidate device. Results showed that all samples spiked at $50\%$ of cutoff tested negative, and all samples spiked at $150\%$ of the cutoff tested positive.

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.
