Device Story
OralTox Oral Fluid Drug Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for qualitative detection of six drug classes in human oral fluid. Device includes integrated collection swab, sponge, and saturation indicator strip; indicator turns red upon collection of adequate volume for testing and potential laboratory confirmation. Used at point-of-care; operated by healthcare professionals. Sample migrates via capillary action; competitive binding principle used where target drugs compete with drug-conjugates for monoclonal antibody binding sites. Absence of test line indicates presence of drug above cutoff; presence of control line validates test performance. Results are visually read. Preliminary positive results necessitate confirmatory testing via LC-MS/MS. Benefits include rapid, on-site screening to inform clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study performed at three sites with 852 samples compared against LC-MS/MS. Results demonstrated high concordance across all analytes. Precision/reproducibility studies conducted using spiked samples at concentrations ranging from -100% to +100% of cutoff. Analytical specificity and cross-reactivity evaluated against numerous compounds; no significant interference observed. Sample volume and recovery studies confirmed adequacy of collection and stability for shipping to confirmation labs.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay; competitive binding principle. Uses monoclonal mouse antibodies. Integrated collection tool with saturation indicator. Qualitative, visually read. No external energy source. Stable for 24 months at 4-30°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of Amphetamine, Cocaine, Marijuana (THC), Methamphetamine, Opiates, and Phencyclidine in human oral fluid. For prescription use only. Preliminary results require confirmation via LC/MS/MS.

Device Description:
The OralTox Oral Fluid Drug Test is an immunochromatographic assay that uses a lateral flow system for the qualitative detection of Amphetamine, cocaine, cannabinoids, methamphetamine, morphine, phencyclidine (target analytes) in human oral fluid. The device has a built-in sample collection tool, including collection swab and sponge, as well as a saturation indicator strip. The saturation indicator strip turns red when a volume of oral fluid has been collected that is adequate for both the OralTox test and for confirmation testing at a laboratory if the result is a presumptive positive.
OralTox Oral Fluid Drug Tests tests are the first step in a two-step process. The second step is to send the sample for confirmatory laboratory testing using a more specific method (e.g., LC-MS/MS) if preliminary positive results are obtained.

L. Test Principle:
The OralTox Oral Fluid Drug Test is an immunochromatographic assay that uses a lateral
{3}
flow system for the qualitative detection of Amphetamine, cocaine, Marijuana, methamphetamine, morphine, and phencyclidine (target analytes) in human oral fluid. The tests are lateral flow chromatographic immunoassays, consisting of one test strip per analyte. During testing, an oral fluid specimen migrates up the test strip by capillary action. If target drugs present in the oral fluid specimen are below the cut-off concentration, it will not saturate the binding sites of its specific monoclonal mouse antibody coated on the particles. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized drug-conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The colored line will not form in the test line region if the target drug level exceeds its cutoff-concentration because it will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody coated on the particles. A band should form in the control region of the devices regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite in the sample to indicate that the tests have been performed properly.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):

## Sample Volume:
A sample volume study was conducted to confirm the reproducibility of adequate sample volume collection by the device. Operators collected samples at two sites from a total 136 subjects (including drug users) following the device's instructions for use. Operators swept the inside of volunteer's mouth (cheek, gums, and tongue), and then held the swab in the subject's mouth until the color indicator within the collection device indicated that collection was complete.
The sponsor reported that all subjects evaluated were able to provide sufficient sample (so that the collection device's color indicator showed adequate collection) within the recommended seven minute collection timeframe. Mean volume collected was $2.5 \pm 0.2 \mathrm{~mL}$, and time required for collection was $3.7 \pm 1.7$ minutes. The maximum time required for collection was reported as seven minutes, and the minimum volume collected was $2.2 \mathrm{~mL}$.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable. These devices are intended for qualitative use only.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Accelerated stability studies have been conducted for the device. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims that when stored un-opened at 4-30 °C, the device is stable for 24 months. Real time studies have been conducted and are ongoing.
## Sample Recovery
### Sample volume recovery:
A sample volume recovery study was conducted to confirm that adequate sample volume could be extracted from the device for confirmatory testing after collection and shipping. Operators collected samples at two sites from a total 194 subjects (including drug users) following the device's instructions for use. Devices containing oral fluid samples were then sent to the confirmation laboratory using overnight shipping. The sponsor reported that the confirmation lab was able to extract sufficient sample volume for the confirmation testing of all six analytes for all samples collected.
### Analyte recovery:
To confirm that preliminary positive results can be adequately measured via confirmation testing after being subject to the temperature conditions required for shipping and storage, negative oral fluid samples in glass bottles were spiked with a single analyte/bottle to concentrations approximately -50% and +50% of the cutoff. Samples were spiked using known standards. Each drug concentration was confirmed by LC-MS/MS. The samples were transferred to OralTox devices using the collection sponges. For each of 3 storage conditions (-20°C, 20-25°C, and 40°C), 12 devices were used (4 devices from each of 3 lots). For each device, drug was measured by LC-MS/MS at time zero and the devices containing the specimens were stored under the specified condition. Drug in the devices stored at 20-25°C and 40°C was measured by LC-MS/MS at two (2) days, and drug in the devices stored at -20°C was measured by LC-MS/MS at 90 days.
The minimum and maximum recovery from 12 devices per lot per storage condition is shown below.

The following potential interference from substances commonly present in oral fluid were evaluated by spiking into drug free oral fluid or oral fluid containing the target drug with concentrations of 50% below and 50% above cutoff level to a concentration of 5%: alcohol, baking soda, chewing gum, coffee, cola, cough syrup, cranberry juice, food coloring (blue, green, and red), methanol cough drops, milk, mouthwash, MSG, orange juice, salt, sugar, tea, toothpaste, and tomatoes. None of these substances showed any interference with the detection of any analyte (MET, COC, MOP, AMP, PCP, THC) using the device.
Potential interference from cigarette smoking, was evaluated by asking a participant to smoke a cigarette, after 15 minutes and oral fluid sample was collected and spiked with each drug at concentrations of cutoff +/- 50%. No interference with the detection of any analyte (MET, COC, MOP, AMP, PCP, THC) using the device was observed.
Potential interference from Hemoglobin was evaluated by adding it to drug free oral fluid or oral fluid containing the target drug with concentrations of 50% above and 50% below cutoff level to a concentration of 100ug/mL. No interference with the detection of any analyte (MET, COC, MOP, AMP, PCP, THC) using the device was observed.
**Effect of oral fluid pH:** To investigate the effect of oral fluid pH, oral fluid samples with pH 4 to 9 were spiked with target drugs at 50% below and 50% above Cut-Off levels. These samples were tested using three lots of the device. Results were all positive for samples at and above +50% Cut-Off and all negative for samples at and below -50% Cut-Off.
There is the possibility that other substances and/or factors not listed above may interfere with the test and cause false results, e.g., technical or procedural errors.

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.
