## L. Test Principle:
Recombinant β2GP1-Domain1 protein is coated onto paramagnetic beads, which are stored lyophilized in the reagent cartridge. The reagent pack is prepared for use in the BIO-FLASH® system by pressing down on the grey lid of the reagent pack to pierce the induction seals on the reagent tubes. Once the seals are broken, the beads are rehydrated by adding the
{6}
entire contents of the vial of resuspension buffer to the bead reagent tube using the transfer pipette supplied with the kit. Only the hole above the bead reagent tube is accessible at this point. The beads are then mixed with the resuspension buffer by pipetting up and down 30 times. This amount of mixing ensures complete resuspension of the beads. The label covering the remaining three reagent holes is now removed, and the reagent cartridge is then loaded onto the BIO-FLASH instrument. Samples are also loaded onto the instrument in sample racks. A patient sample is pre-diluted by the BIO-FLASH with system rinse in a small disposable plastic cuvette. Small amounts of the diluted patient sample, the beads, and assay buffer are all combined into a second cuvette, and mixed. This cuvette is then incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed several times. Isoluminol conjugated anti-human IgG antibodies are then added to the cuvette, and again incubated at 37°C. The beads are magnetized and washed repeatedly. The isoluminol conjugate is oxidized when Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 are added to the cuvette, and the flash of light produced from this reaction is measured as Relative Light Units (RLU) by the BIO-FLASH optical system. The RLU are proportional to the amount of isoluminol conjugate that is bound to the human IgG, which is in turn proportional to the amount of anti-β2GP1-Domain1 antibodies bound to the corresponding β2GP1-Domain1 on the beads.
The QUANTA Flash® β2GP1-Domain1 assay utilizes a pre-defined lot specific Master Curve that is uploaded onto the instrument through the reagent cartridge barcode. Every new lot number of reagent cartridge must be calibrated before first use, with the QUANTA Flash® β2GP1-Domain1 Calibrators. Based on the results obtained with the two Calibrators included in the reagent kit, an instrument specific Working Curve is created, which is used to calculate chemiluminescent units (CU) from the instrument signal (RLU) obtained for each sample.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
### 1. Analytical performance:
Because the QUANTA Flash β2GP1-Domain1 assay and the HemosIL AcuStar β2GP1-Domain 1 assay are identical, there is only one set of performance data and it is shown below (labeled QUANTA Flash β2GP1-Domain1 assay).
The analytical performance of the QUANTA Flash β2GP1-Domain1 assay for use with human serum samples was demonstrated in K141274, as indicated in the sections below.

{7}
Precision of the QUANTA Flash® $\beta 2\mathrm{GP1}$ -Domain1 assay in citrated plasma was assessed in accordance with CLSI EP15-A3, User Verification of Precision and Estimation of Bias; Approved Guideline—Third Edition. Three plasma samples with concentrations of measurand near the medical decision point, and at low and high positive values were tested with five replicates in a single run for five days ( $n = 25$ ). Controls were run as quality control during each run. Total $\% \mathrm{CV}$ values were within the manufacturer's pre-determined acceptance criteria. The acceptance criteria for the plasma precision studies were the same as for the serum precision studies performed in K141274.
| | | Within Run | | Between-Day | | Total | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sample | Mean (CU) | SD | %CV | SD | %CV | SD | %CV |
| 1 | 18.70 | 0.87 | 4.6% | 1.16 | 6.2% | 1.45 | 7.8% |
| 2 | 91.98 | 2.32 | 2.5% | 0.27 | 0.3% | 2.34 | 2.5% |

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity: The manufacturer completed linearity studies using human serum samples in submission K141274. These studies included five serially diluted serum samples that covered the analytical measuring range and all data met the manufacturer's predetermined acceptance criteria.
The linearity of the analytical measuring range (AMR, 3.6-1380.4 CU) in citrated plasma was evaluated by a study according to CLSI EP6-A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach; Approved Guideline. Three citrated plasma samples with various $\beta 2\mathrm{GP}\beta 2\mathrm{GP}1$ -Domain1 antibody concentrations were serially diluted to obtain 10 dilutions of each sample. Percent recovery was calculated compared to the expected results. Obtained values were plotted against expected values, and linear regression analysis was used to analyze the results. The slope and intercept of the regression line were calculated with the $95\%$ confidence intervals (95% CI) as well as the correlation coefficient $(\mathbb{R}^2)$ values. All samples met the manufacturer's pre-defined acceptance criteria. The acceptance criteria for the plasma linearity studies were the same as for the serum precision studies performed in K141274. Results of the study are summarized below:
{8}
| Sample | Test Range (CU) | Slope (95% CI) | y-intercept (95% CI) | R² | Recovery Range |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 135.8–1357.6 | 1.02 (0.96–1.08) | −58.04 (−108–−8.08) | 0.99 | 86.6%–102.6% |
| 2 | 18.2–182.2 | 0.97 (0.93–1.01) | −2.09 (−7.04–2.87) | 0.99 | 90.1%–100.0% |

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.
