{2}
Analyzer, used in combination with single-use PT/INR test strips, Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips, and Liquid Quality Controls (LQC), Xprecia™ System PT Controls.
The Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strip contains the Dade® Innovin® reagent which is a preparation of purified recombinant human tissue factor combined with synthetic phospholipids, calcium chloride, and stabilizers. When a blood sample is applied to the test strip target area, the blood mixes with reagents and activates the coagulation cascade. The clot time is determined by an algorithm and the result is displayed as INR.
The Xprecia™ System PT Controls kit contains assayed Liquid Quality Controls for the assessment of precision and analytical bias in the normal (PT Control 1) and therapeutic (PT Control 2) ranges for the prothrombin time (PT) to be used with the Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips and Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer. The controls consist of lyophilized human plasma, buffers and stabilizers. A calcium chloride diluent present in the kit is used to reconstitute the lyophilized control to activate the clotting process.

# L. Test Principle:
The Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System is a handheld in vitro diagnostic medical device
{5}
that uses electrochemical technology to measure the prothrombin time from a fresh capillary (fingerstick) whole blood sample. The fresh capillary (fingerstick) whole blood sample is applied to the Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips for testing. The Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strip is inserted into the analyzer which applies a small voltage across the electrodes and measures any resulting electrical current as a function of time. A sample chamber in the test strip is filled with the blood sample by capillary action. The test strip contains Dade® Innovin® which is a preparation of purified recombinant human tissue thromboplastin, combined with synthetic phospholipids, calcium, stabilizers, and an electroactive thrombin substrate. An electroactive group released from the thrombin substrate is detected electrochemically at the electrodes in the test strip; the current produced is analyzed by an algorithm to determine the coagulation time. The analyzer displays the International Normalized Ratio (INR) on the screen.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:

# Traceability
Each lot of Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips is factory calibrated to a reference lot of human recombinant thromboplastin traceable to the World Health Organization International Reference Preparation.
# Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips Stability
## Closed vial stability
The closed vial stability of 24 months shelf life was established at 5–30°C and up to 75% Relative Humidity (RH); by testing three (3) lots of the Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips. Testing for closed vial stability was performed at 2, 4, 9, 13, 17, 22, 26, 39, 53, 66, 79, 92, and 105 weeks after time zero (T0). The strips were incubated at three (3) storage conditions (5, 25, and 30°C). Results are consistent with the Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips claim.
## Open vial stability
The open vial stability of 2 months when stored between 5–30°C at up to 75% RH was substantiated by testing three (3) the Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strip lots over 69 days to verify the effect of the operator opening the strip vial multiple times to remove and use the test strip under controlled temperature and relative humidity conditions. Testing for open vial stability was performed at 5°C/ambient RH, 25°C at 60% RH and 30°C at 75% RH and opened 25 times over the duration of the study to simulate in-use conditions. Results are consistent with the Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips claim.
## Out of vial stability
The 5 minutes out of vial stability claim was established by using three (3) Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strip lots that were exposed to high temperature and humidity conditions for various times up to 12.5 minutes. Single measurements of each test strip were subsequently obtained at 0, 2.5 minutes, 5 minutes, 7.5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 12.5 minutes at a range of conditions 32.7 to 32.9°C and 83 to 89% RH. Results are consistent with the Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips claim.
## Transport stability
Transport stability was established by evaluating three (3) Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strip lots tested under the following sequence of simulated transport conditions at 0, 12, 18 and 24 months after manufacturing:
a. Test strips stored for 12 hours at 25°C
b. Test strips stored for 74 hours at 30°C, for 46 hours at 35°C, and for 22 hours at 40°C.
c. Test strips stored for 7 hours at 45°C, for 3 hours at 50°C, 3 hours at 55°C. 1 hour at 60°C, and for 1 hour at 65°C.
d. 3 × 1 day Freeze/Thaw (F/T) cycles: Product frozen at -20°C, thawed for 1 day at 2-8°C, and frozen again at -20°C, repeated three times.
All acceptance criteria for the transportation stability were met.

# Xprecia™ System PT Controls
## Stability
A stability study was conducted for the Xprecia™ System PT Controls using three (3) lots each of Xprecia™ System PT Control 1, PT Control 2 and the calcium chloride (CaCl₂) reconstitution buffer. The shelf life for PT Control 1, PT Control 2 and the reconstitution buffer was established as 12 months from the date of manufacture. The stability of the reconstituted control solution was established as 60 minutes when stored at 2–8°C, and 25 minutes when stored at 15–25°C. Results are consistent with the Xprecia™ System PT Controls claim.
## Value Assignment
Value assignment was performed by using three (3) vials of PT Controls (PT Control 1 and PT Control 2) from the same lot with three (3) Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strip lots on three (3) Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzers, in two single determinations. This resulted in 18 results for each control level (3 vials x 2 determinations x 3 analyzers/ strip lot combinations).
The mean of the 18 determinations are to be considered as the assigned value for the PT Control.
## d. Detection limit:
Factor sensitivity was assessed for coagulation factors II, V, VII, and X. The factor sensitivity was determined using the nine (9) Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzers, three (3) lots of Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips, and normal human red blood cells mixed with various concentrations of normal human plasma and the applicable factor deficient plasma. Each level of factor sensitivity was carried out twice on each analyzer. The study verifies factor sensitivity for the Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips at the following levels (% of normal factor level; in vitro testing): Factor II < 36%; Factor V < 58%; Factor VII < 52%; and Factor X < 68%.
## e. Analytical specificity:
### Interference Limits
Interference studies were performed for the following interferents: ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, unconjugated bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, hemolysis, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, triglycerides and uric acid. In addition, an interference study was conducted to characterize the levels of other pharmaceuticals: oritavancin, clopidogrel, fondaparinux, and daptomycin. Interference limits were established using three (3) lots of Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips tested on eight (8) analyzers each using fresh citrated venous whole blood from both normal and warfarin blood samples spiked separately with the interferents. The acceptance criteria for interference effect of the aforementioned interferents were met. The interference study results show that the following interferents do not interfere with test results up to the concentrations shown:
{9}
| Interferent | Concentration |
| --- | --- |
| Ascorbic Acid | up to 1.5 mg/dL |
| Acetaminophen | up to 20 mg/dL |
| Unconjugated Bilirubin | up to 20 mg/dL |
| Conjugated Bilirubin | up to 29 mg/dL |
| Hemoglobin | up to 200 mg/dL |
| Heparin | up to 3 U/mL |
| Low Molecular Weight Heparin | 2 IU anti-factor Xa activity/mL |
| Triglycerides | 3270 mg/dL |
| Uric Acid | up to 24 mg/dL |
| Oritavancin | up to 5 mg/L |
| Clopidogrel | up to 40 mg/L |
| Fondaparinux | up to 2.5 mg/L |
| Daptomycin | up to 300 mg/L |
# Hematocrit
The hematocrit range was evaluated for the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer using capillary samples from 282 patients across four intended use sites. Capillary samples for INR determinations using the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System, citrated plasma samples for the central laboratory INR using the Siemens BCS XP, and the measured EDTA venous whole blood hematocrit for each test subject were used in the analysis. The %bias of the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System INR to the BCS XP INR was calculated for each test subject and plotted against the hematocrit for that test subject. Data analysis demonstrated that hematocrit range between $22 - 52\%$ does not significantly affect test results.

# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Accuracy was evaluated by comparing the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System against the predicate device, Roche CoaguChek® XS System. The method comparison study was performed on 365 test subjects which included capillary whole blood samples from subjects not receiving warfarin or any other anticoagulant (INR $<2.0$ ) and from subjects currently on warfarin therapy (INR 2.0 to 4.5). The method comparison study was conducted across four (4) intended use sites using three (3) lots of Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips per site with a minimum of three (3) operators per site. The following table summarizes the study results by individual sites and combined sites:

The results support the claim that the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System candidate device and the Roche CoaguChek® XS System predicate device are substantially equivalent.
## Method Comparison with Reference device:
Accuracy was also evaluated by comparing the INR results of capillary samples measured on the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System against the INR of venous plasma samples measured on Siemens BCS XP laboratory analyzer using Dade® Innovin® recombinant human tissue thromboplastin reagent (reference device). The method comparison study was performed on 364 subjects across four (4) sites using three (3) lots of Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips at each site, and a minimum of three (3) operators per site. Results of INR values measured on Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System using fingerstick capillary whole blood samples were compared to the INR measured on BCS XP using venous plasma samples. The data from individual sites were combined and a Passing-Bablok regression analysis was performed. The results support the claim that the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System candidate device and the BCS XP reference device are substantially equivalent. The following table summarizes the study results by individual sites and combined sites:

3. Specimen Identification:
A built-in barcode reader scans the barcode label associated with a patient sample.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
The Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips are intended for single-use only. Once the test strip is inserted into the analyzer, a drop of fresh capillary whole blood sample collected by fingerstick is manually applied to the test strip target area and analyzed.
5. Calibration:
Xprecia™ System PT/INR strips:
Each lot of Xprecia™ System PT/INR test strips is factory calibrated to a reference lot of human recombinant thromboplastin traceable to the World Health Organization International Reference Preparation. An International Sensitivity Index (ISI) and Mean Normal Prothrombin Time (MNPT) values are assigned by calibration for each lot and embedded on the barcode label on the test strip vial along with the lot number and expiration date. Metrological traceability was achieved by following WHO Technical Report Series 889 Annex 3 - Guidelines for Thromboplastins and Plasmas Used to Control Oral Anticoagulant Therapy.
Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer:
When the analyzer is first turned on, the instrument performs a series of electronics, signal, software and memory integrity checks, as well as ensuring there is sufficient battery voltage to operate the Xprecia Stride™ Analyzer. The key tests during this phase are the Heater/Thermistor check along with the Strip Port Hardware check. These are part of the overall Electronics Integrity Check. Failure to pass any of these power-on tests will prevent further operation of the analyzer.
6. Quality Control:
The Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation System consists of two levels of electronic onboard quality controls. When a test strip is inserted, the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer automatically conducts two on-strip quality control checks designed to help ensure test strip integrity. The first control checks the presence of adequate sample reagent on the test strip, and the second control detects test strip degradation due to exposure to environmental conditions.
The Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer also uses Liquid Quality Controls (LQCs). The Xprecia™ System PT Controls kit contains assayed controls for the assessment of precision and accuracy in the normal (PT Control 1) and therapeutic (PT Control 2) range for the prothrombin time (PT) to be used with Xprecia™ System PT/INR Strips. The PT Control 1 and PT Control 2 are run and evaluated the same way as patient samples. The assigned values and ranges for each lot of PT Control 1 and PT Control 2 appear on each control vial as a barcode to be read by the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer.

P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
Cleaning Robustness Testing
To perform the Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer cleaning step, the operator should use a Sani-Cloth® Plus to wipe all surface areas of the analyzer to remove all blood and other body fluids. During the Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer disinfection step, the operator uses a Sani-Cloth® Plus to thoroughly wet all surface areas of the analyzer. The operator also carefully disinfects the front and grooved back of the test strip port protective cap with the Sani-Cloth® Plus. After 2 minutes exposure time (allow the analyzer to remain wet for 2 minutes), then let air dry. The Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer lifespan claim is 7,300 cleaning cycles which is equivalent to 2 years of analyzer life.
One (1) cycle = One (1) wipe for cleaning + One (1) wipe for disinfecting 10 cleaning cycles per day x 365 days x 2 years = 7,300 cleaning cycles.
The lifespan of the analyzer will vary depending on actual usage.
Q. Proposed Labeling:
The labeling is sufficient and it satisfies the requirements of 21 CFR Part 809.10.
R. Conclusion:
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete and supports a substantial equivalence decision.

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.
