Device Story
The ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D assay is a delayed one-step competitive chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) performed on the ARCHITECT iSystem. Input: human serum or plasma samples. Process: sample, assay diluent, and paramagnetic anti-vitamin D coated microparticles are combined; 25-OH vitamin D is displaced from binding protein and binds to microparticles. Acridinium-labeled vitamin D conjugate is added, binding to unoccupied sites. After washing, Pre-Trigger and Trigger solutions are added; chemiluminescent reaction measured as relative light units (RLUs). Output: quantitative 25-OH vitamin D concentration calculated automatically via calibration curve. Used in clinical laboratories by technicians. Results aid clinicians in assessing patient vitamin D sufficiency.

# L. Test Principle:
The ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 assay is a delayed one-step immunoassay including a sample pre-treatment for the quantitative determination of vitamin D in human serum and plasma using CMIA technology with flexible assay protocols, referred to as Chemiflex. Sample and pretreatment reagents are combined. An aliquot of the pre-treated sample is combined with assay diluent and paramagnetic anti-vitamin D coated microparticles to create a reaction mixture.
Vitamin D present in the sample binds to anti-vitamin D coated microparticles. After incubation a biotinylated vitamin D anti-Biotin acridinium-labeled conjugate complex is added to the reaction mixture and binds to unoccupied binding sites of the anti-vitamin D coated microparticles. After washing, pre-trigger and trigger solutions are added to the reaction mixture. The resulting chemiluminescent reaction is measured as relative light units (RLUs). An indirect relationship exists between the amount of vitamin D in the sample and the RLUs detected by the ARCHITECT i System optics.

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity was evaluated based on CLSI EP-6A, Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures: A Statistical Approach. A linearity sample set was prepared by diluting a serum sample with a high 25-OH vitamin D concentration with a serum sample with a low 25-OH vitamin D concentration to obtain twelve (12) concentration levels across the measuring range of the candidate assay. Samples were run in replicates of 4 on one i2000SR analyzer using one reagent lot. The weighted Deming linear regression of the observed mean concentrations versus the expected concentration was calculated and yielded the following linear regression equation: $y = 0.9435x + 0.4 \, \mathrm{ng/mL}$ , $r = 1.00$ , Test range: 3.4-160.3 ng/mL
The summary of observed concentrations versus the expected concentration is provided in the table below.

c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
## Standardization and Traceability
The ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D Assay was originally cleared under 510(k) k110619. Abbott has modified the assay by standardizing the cleared vitamin D assay in accordance with the Vitamin D Standardization Certification Program (VDSCP). The VDSCP is an international collaborative effort to standardize the laboratory measurement of serum 25-OH vitamin D. This collaboration involves the coordinated efforts of the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes for Standards and Technology (NIST), Ghent University, and other institutions. Please refer to http://ods.od.nih.gov/Research/VitaminD.aspx for more information on the VDSCP program.
To achieve standardization against the VDSP recognized Reference Measurement Procedure (RMP), the ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 assay master calibration parameters were aligned to the CDC VDSP by using 129 human serum samples from the CDC VSDP program which were value assigned by the RMP and traceable to NIST SRM2972.

# Control value assignment:
The ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 low, medium, and high controls are prepared gravimetrically, targeting 20.0, 40.0, and 75.0 ng/mL, respectively. The controls are run in replicates of 22 on one ARCHITECT iSystem analyzer to verify the target concentrations.
| ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 Control | Target concentration (ng/mL) | Control range (ng/mL) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Low | 20.0 | 14.0-26.0 |
| Medium | 40.0 | 28.0-52.0 |
| High | 75.0 | 52.4- 97.5 |
# Stability
The calibrator and control shelf-life and open-vial stability testing protocols and acceptance criteria were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The stability studies
{9}
support the claim that the ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 Calibrators are stable for 8 months when stored un-opened at 2-8 °C and are stable for 30 days after opening at 2-8 °C. The ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 Controls are stable for 8 months when stored un-opened at 2-8 °C and are stable for 30 days after opening at 2-8 °C. Real-time studies are on-going and are scheduled to continue for a total of 18 months.
d. Detection limit:
The Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD) and Limit of Quantification (LoQ) studies were performed according to CLSI EP-17A2.
To establish the Limit of Blank (LoB), four blank samples (human serum based calibrator 1) were assayed 60 times using two reagent lots over multiple days on two analyzers. The Limit of Blank was the value at the 95th percentile and was determined to be 1.6 ng/mL.
To determine the Limit of Detection (LoD), 14 low level samples, with concentrations in the range from 0.5 to 3.5 ng/mL, were measured in replicates of 10 over 3 days using 2 lots of reagent for a total of 60 measurements. The LoD was calculated to be 2.2 ng/mL.
Using data from each low-level analyte, the pooled SD and %CV were calculated. The LoQ was defined as the lowest concentration with an inter-assay precision of ≤20% CV. The LoQ was determined to be 2.4 ng/mL.
Detection limits results:
| Limit of Blank | Limit of Detection | Limit of Quantitation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1.6 ng/mL | 2.2 ng/mL | 2.4 ng/mL |
The reportable range of the assay is 3.4-155.9 ng/mL.
e. Analytical specificity:
Interference:
Three 25-OH vitamin D concentrations of pooled human serum, 20 ng/mL, 30 ng/mL, and 40 ng/mL were spiked with potentially interfering endogenous substances listed below. Each sample was tested in replicates of 12 on one ARCHITECT i2000SR analyzer using one lot of reagent. The sponsor defines significant interference as a percent difference of >10% when compared to the unspiked sample. A summary of the results are provided in the table below:
| Substance | Highest concentration of substance tested that demonstrated no significant interference |
| --- | --- |
| Conjugated bilirubin | 30 mg/dL |
| Unconjugated bilirubin | 30 mg/dL |
{10}
11
| Substance | Highest concentration of substance tested that demonstrated no significant interference |
| --- | --- |
| Hemoglobin | 500 mg/dL |
| Triglycerides | 500 mg/dL |
| Total Protein | 12 g/dL |
| Biotin | 30 ng/mL |
| Cholesterol | 500 mg/dL |
| Rheumatoid factor | 800 IU/mL |
| Goat Anti-Rabbit Antibodies | 1 μg/mL |
The sponsor includes the following limitation in the labeling regarding interference from triglycerides:
"The ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D assay is susceptible to interference effects from triglycerides at >500 mg/dL. A triglyceride concentration of 800 mg/dL resulted in a -13.8%, -10.2%, and -17.5% bias in results for 25-OH vitamin D concentration of approximately 20 ng/mL, 30 ng/mL, and 40 ng/mL 25-OH vitamin D, respectively."
Cross reactivity:
The sponsor performed studies to evaluate if compounds similar to 25-hydroxyvitamin D cross react with the ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 assay. Cross reactivity studies were performed by spiking potential cross-reactants into three human serum pools with 25-OH vitamin D concentrations of 20 ng/mL, 30 ng/mL, and 40 ng/mL. Each sample was tested in replicates of 12 using one ARCHITECT i2000SR analyzer and one lot of reagent. Cross-reactivity was calculated using the following equation:
$$
\% \text{ Cross-Reactivity} = \frac{\text{mean value spiked} - \text{mean value unspiked}}{\text{Cross-Reactant Concentration}} \times 100
$$

Cross reactivity of 25-OH Vitamin D3
The cross reactivity of 25-OH vitamin D3 was evaluated in a separate cross-reactivity study in which vitamin D depleted serum samples were spiked with known concentrations of 25-OH vitamin D3 using NIST SRM 2972 stock solution. The samples were run in replicates of 14. The cross-reactivity was calculated using the following equation:
$$
\% \text{ Cross-reactivity} = \frac{\text{spiked sample mean concentration}}{\text{stock concentration added}} \times 100
$$
The following cross-reactivity results were obtained for 25-OH vitamin D3:

Cross Reactivity of 25-OH Vitamin D2
The cross-reactivity of the ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 assay with 25-OH vitamin D2 was assessed using endogenous (non-spiked) serum specimens with total 25-OH vitamin D2 concentrations of approximately 26 ng/mL and 68 ng/mL and 25-OH vitamin D3 concentrations below the detection limit of the LC-MS/MS on which they concentrations were quantified. Each concentration was tested in a minimum of 2 replicates using 1 lot each of reagent, calibrators, and controls on 1 ARCHITECT i2000SR instrument. The cross-reactivity was calculated using the following equation:
$$
\% \text{Cross-reactivity} = \frac{\text{Total 25-OH vitamin D (ARCHITECT)}}{\text{25-OH vitamin D2 (LC-MS/MS)}} \times 100
$$
The following cross-reactivity results were obtained for 25-OH vitamin D2

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A method comparison study was performed to compare the candidate device (standardized ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 assay) to the predicate device (non-standardized ARCHITECT Vitamin D assay, k110619). A total of 107 native
{14}
serum samples were tested in duplicate using the candidate device and the predicate device. The sample concentrations ranged from $9.6 - 96.9\mathrm{ng / mL}$ . One ARCHITECT i2000SR analyzer and one reagent lot were used. Passing-Bablok regression analysis was performed as shown below:
| ARCHITECT Vitamin D Standardized vs Unstandardized | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Number | 107 |
| Slope | 0.99 |
| Intercept | -1.05 |
| R | 0.98 |
| Test range | 9.6-96.9 ng/mL |
An additional method comparison study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy between the candidate device and the RMP, University of Ghent's ID-LC/MS/MS method. The method comparison against the RMP was the basis of the substantial equivalence determination.
A total of 129 unaltered serum samples value assigned by ID-LC-MS/MS RMP (Ghent University), were tested in singleton on two ARCHITECT i2000SR analyzers using two lots of reagents. 120 samples were native samples, 7 samples were spiked and 3 samples were diluted in order to span the measuring range, but one spiked sample was eliminated from data analysis because the result was greater than 160 ng/mL. The test range as measured by the RMP method was 4.0 to $153.2\mathrm{ng / mL}$ . Passing-Bablok analysis was performed and the results for the first replicate of the ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D assay when compared to the reference method were shown below:
| ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 vs ID-LC-MS/MS RMP | Value (95% CI) |
| --- | --- |
| Slope | 1.02 (0.99, 1.05) |
| Intercept | -0.99 (-1.92, -0.24) |
| Correlation Coefficient | 0.99 (0.99,0.99) |
| Candidate Result Ranges | 4.9 to 151.3 ng/mL |
# b. Matrix comparison:
A tube type comparison study was performed based on guidance from CLSI EP7-A2. Forty donor sample sets in the control tube type (serum, plastic) and in the following tube types: dipotassium EDTA, lithium heparin, sodium heparin, lithium heparin plasma separator, serum separator, and tri-potassium EDTA were collected. No more than $20\%$ of the donor sets were supplemented with 25-OH vitamin D stock solution to create samples that spanned the measuring range of the assay. The total number of sample sets tested was 51. The control tube sample (serum) was tested in replicates of 3 for each sample and each of the other sample types were tested in a minimum of 2
{15}
replicates with the ARCHITECT 25-OH Vitamin D 5P02 assay using 2 ARCHITECT i2000SR analyzers and one lot of reagent. For each donor set, the mean concentration was calculated for the control tube type. The control tube test concentration range was 7.2 – 135.8 ng/dL. The first replicate result of each of the alternate tube types was used in the Passing-Bablok analysis which yielded the following linear regression equations:
$$
\text{Dipotassium (K2) EDTA: } y = 0.93x + 0.76, r = 1.00
$$
$$
\text{Lithium heparin: } y = 0.94x - 0.90, r = 1.00
$$
$$
\text{Sodium heparin: } y = 0.94x + 0.84, r = 1.00
$$
$$
\text{Lithium heparin plasma separator: } y = 0.93x - 1.09, r = 1.00
$$
$$
\text{Serum separator: } y = 0.99x + 0.4, r = 1.00
$$
$$
\text{Tri-potassium (K3) EDTA: } y = 0.92x + 0.83, r = 1.00
$$
Sponsor claimed that all the tube types tested above are acceptable tube type for use with the ARCHITECT 25-OH vitamin D assay.

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.
