Indications for Use
Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Enzyme Immunoassay: The Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with a dual cutoff of 150ng/mL and 300ng/mL. The assay is intended for use in laboratories for the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of Benzoylecgonine in human urine with automated clinical chemistry analyzers. This assay is calibrated against Benzoylecgonine. This in-vitro device is for prescription use only. The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as GC-MS or permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures. The Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Enzyme Immunoassay Kit provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used. Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Calibrators: The Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Calibrators are intended for in vitro diagnostic use for the calibration of assays for the analytes currently listed in the package insert: Benzoylecgonine. The calbrators are designed for prescription use with homogenous enzyme immunoassays on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Control Set: The Immunalysis Benzoylecgonine Urine Control Set is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to monitor the performance of assays for the analyte currently listed in the package insert: Benzoylecgonine. The controls are designed for prescription use with homogenous enzyme immunoassays on automated clinical chemistry analyzers
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic assay for detection of benzoylecgonine in human urine; utilizes homogeneous enzyme immunoassay technology. Input: human urine sample; processed on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., Beckman AU400e). Principle: competitive binding between benzoylecgonine in sample and G6PDH-labeled benzoylecgonine for fixed antibody binding sites; enzyme activity measured spectrophotometrically at 340nm via NAD to NADH conversion. Output: qualitative (positive/negative) or semi-quantitative concentration result. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians/pathologists to provide preliminary screening results for drug abuse; requires confirmation by GC-MS or LC/MS. Benefits: rapid screening of urine samples to guide confirmatory testing and quality control.

# L. Test Principle:
The assay is based on the competition of benzoylecgonine labeled enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and the free drug in the urine sample for the fixed amount of antibody binding sites. In the absence of the free drug in the sample, the antibody binds the drug enzyme conjugate and enzyme activity is inhibited. This creates a dose response relationship between drug concentration in the urine sample and enzyme activity. The enzyme G6PDH activity is determined at $340\mathrm{nm}$ spectrophotometrically by the conversion of NAD to NADH.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
A linearity study in the semi-quantitative mode was conducted by spiking a drug-free urine pool with a high concentration of benzoylecgonine and generating serial dilutions to achieve concentrations ranging from 100 ng/mL to 1100 ng/mL. Each concentration was tested in triplicate and drug recovery calculated using the mean concentration of the replicates. The results are summarized below:
| Linearity/Recovery | | |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Expected Concentration (ng/mL) | Mean Concentration (ng/mL) | Recovery (%) |
| 100 | 98.9 | 98.9 |

| 1000 | 996.0 | 99.6 |
| 1100 | 1003.1 | 91.2 |
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Traceability
The analyte in the calibrator and controls is traceable to a commercially available standard solution. The standard is certified material with the concentration verified by GC-MS or LC/MS-MS. This standard is diluted with the proper calibrator buffer to make the calibrator and controls to the desired concentrations. The concentrations are confirmed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Analysis (GC/MS) and/or
{6}
Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS).
## Value Assignment/Expected Values
The Negative Calibrator is a processed, drug free urine matrix. The standard is compared to a reference negative standard to ensure that it is free of analyte. A value is assigned when the test is within the acceptable range.
The non-zero calibrators and the controls are prepared by spiking known concentrations of benzoylecgonine into the negative calibrator matrix. The concentrations are confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS. If any of the analytes are out of the acceptable range, then the calibrator or control is adjusted and re-tested. Values are assigned to the calibrator or control once the GC/MS or LC/MS/MS results are within the acceptable range.
## Stability
A closed-vial accelerated stability study and an onboard, open vial stability study were conducted for the calibrators and controls. Real-time stability studies are ongoing. All stability protocols were reviewed and found to be acceptable. These studies support the closed vial stability claim of one year and the opened vial stability claim of 28 days when calibrators and controls are stored at 2-8°C.
d. Detection limit:
Not applicable.
e. Analytical specificity:
## Structurally related compounds
The sponsor performed studies at both claimed cutoffs in both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes to evaluate the cross-reactivity of compounds that are structurally related to benzoylecgonine. Results are summarized below:

# Endogenous compounds
Potential interference from endogenous compounds was evaluated in the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes by spiking these compounds into drug free urine containing benzoylecgonine at $\pm 25\%$ of the $150~\mathrm{ng / mL}$ cutoff (112.5 ng/mL and $187.5~\mathrm{ng / mL}$ ) and $\pm 25\%$ of the $300~\mathrm{ng / mL}$ cutoff (225 ng/mL and $375~\mathrm{ng / mL}$ ). The results were the same for the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes and are summarized below:
{14}
| Endogenous Compounds (for 150 ng/mL cutoff) | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Compound | Concentration Tested | -25% Cutoff | +25% Cutoff |
| Acetone | 1.0 g/dL | Negative | Positive |

# pH and Specific Gravity
To evaluate potential interference from the pH of urine, device performance in the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes was tested using a range of urine pH values (3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0). All test samples were prepared in drug free urine containing benzoylecgonine at ± 25% of the 150 ng/mL cutoff (112.5 ng/mL and 187.5 ng/mL) and ± 25% of the 300 ng/mL cutoff (225 ng/mL and 375 ng/mL). No positive or negative interference was observed at urine pH values ranging from 3.0 to 11.0 for each test mode.
To evaluate potential interference from the specific gravity of urine, device performance in the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes was tested using a range of urine specific gravity values (1.000, 1.002, 1.005, 1.010, 1.015, 1.020, 1.025 and 1.030). All test samples were prepared in drug free urine containing benzoylecgonine at ± 25% of the 150 ng/mL cutoff (112.5 ng/mL and 187.5 ng/mL) and ± 25% of the 300 ng/mL cutoff (225 ng/mL and 375 ng/mL). No positive or negative interference was observed at urine specific gravity values ranging from 1.000 to 1.030 for each test mode.
## f. Assay cut-off:
Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentrations of 150 ng/mL and 300 ng/mL is described in the precision section, M.1.a. above.
## 2. Comparison studies:
### a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Eighty unaltered urine samples from clinical testing laboratories were analyzed for benzoylecgonine by the candidate device on the Beckman Coulter AU400e clinical chemistry analyzer and with LC/MS. Results were obtained in both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes and are summarized below:

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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.
