## K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
Not applicable.
## L. Test Principle:
The Preview Digital Pregnancy Test is a lateral flow sandwich immunochromatographic assay. During the test procedures, hCG in the urine specimen reacts with the mouse anti-β-hCG antibody-colloidal gold conjugate to form a complex. By capillary action, the complex migrates along the membrane to the α-hCG antibody line (T), and remains captured in the T line. As a result a colored band develops in the T line, indicating a positive result. If there is no hCG in the urine, no colored band develops in the test zone, indicating a negative result. A colored line will develop in the control zone if sufficient sample volume has been applied to the test strip.
The Preview Digital Pregnancy Test device utilizes LED as a light source and light reflection to determine the presence or absence of the colored test and control lines. The intended user dips the absorbent tip into the urine for 10 seconds and the final reading is observed between 3 and 5 minutes by digital display of the results (“Yes+”, “No-” or “Invalid”) on the display screen.
## M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
A precision study was performed using negative human urine samples spiked with hCG (commercially available and traceable to the 4th WHO international standard) to create samples with hCG concentrations of 0 mIU/mL, 5 mIU/mL, 12.5 mIU/mL, 15 mIU/mL, 18.75 mIU/mL, 25 mIU/mL, 50 mIU/mL, 100 mIU/mL and 1000 mIU/mL. These samples were tested in replicates of 10, by three laboratory technicians, using three lots of Preview Digital Pregnancy Test for five consecutive days. Testing was
{3}
performed by both dip method and mid-stream methods, and the results are summarized in the table below:
Dip-mode results summary:

A second precision study was conducted using hCG spiked urine samples containing hCG at concentrations of $0\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , $5\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , $12.5\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , $15\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , $18.75\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , $25\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , $50\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ , and $100\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ . These samples were tested by nine operators with three lots of Preview Digital Pregnancy Test. The results obtained were similar to those in the first precision study conducted (shown above).
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity is not applicable since this is a qualitative test.
# c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
The test is calibrated against reference material traceable to WHO International Standard 4th edition for hCG.
The stability testing protocol and acceptance criteria used to support the shelf life were reviewed and found to be acceptable. The sponsor claims a 30 months shelf-life when stored at $4 - 30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ in the sealed foil pouch. Real time stability studies are ongoing.
# d. Detection limit:
See Section M.1.a., above.
# e. Analytical specificity:
To evaluate the potential for interference by certain exogenous compounds, each
{4}
potentially interfering substance was prepared by spiking the substance to the desired concentration into urine samples containing $0, 5\mathrm{mIU/mL}$ , $25\mathrm{mIU/mL}$ and $100\mathrm{mIU/mL}$ hCG. No interference was observed from the exogenous compounds tested at the concentrations noted in the table below, for either negative or positive hCG urine samples.

# Hook effect study:
To determine if the Preview Digital Pregnancy Test has a hook effect due to high levels of hCG, negative urine samples were spiked with varying hCG concentrations (6,250, 12,500, 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 and $500,000\mathrm{mIU / mL}$ ). These samples were evaluated with Preview Digital Pregnancy Test device according to
{5}
package insert instructions in triplicates using 3 reagent lots and three operators. No hCG hook effect was observed at hCG levels up to 500,000 mIU/mL.
## Cross-Reactivity:
To evaluate cross-reactivity, negative and positive urine samples (0 mIU/mL, 5 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL) were spiked with various concentrations of glycoprotein hormones LH, FSH, TSH and hCG β-core fragment. The results support that there is no interference due to 500 mIU/mL LH, 1000 mIU/mL FSH, 1000 mIU/mL TSH or 250,000 pmol/L hCG β-core fragment in either negative or positive urine samples.
## pH interference study:
To evaluate potential interference from changes in urine pH, urine samples containing 0 mIU/mL, 5 mIU/mL, 25 mIU/mL and 100 mIU/mL hCG were tested at pH values of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The results indicated that changes in pH range of 4~9 do not interfere with either positive or negative results from the device.
## Specific Gravity interference study:
To evaluate potential interference from changes in specific gravity, urine samples containing 0 mIU/mL, 5 mIU/mL, 25 mIU/mL and 100 mIU/mL hCG were tested at specific gravity values ranging from 1.000, 1.005, 1.010, 1.015, 1.020, 1.025, 1.030 and 1.035. The results indicated that changes in specific gravity do not interfere with either positive or negative results from the device.
## f. Assay cut-off:
See Section M.1.a., above.

Lay user study
A lay user study was performed with 200 female subjects recruited from three study sites, each with varying educational and occupational backgrounds. Each subject tested her own urine sample using either mid-stream (100) or dip testing (100 samples) methods on the candidate device according to the package insert, and provided a sample for professional testing using the subject device.
Summary of results is presented in the table below:
| | Professional | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | + | - |
| Lay person | + | 86 | 0 |
| | - | 0 | 114 |
A second lay user study was performed by the same 200 female subjects, using negative urine samples spiked with hCG near the device cutoff. The results from this study were found to be acceptable.
Each lay person was given a questionnaire to assess the readability of the labeling. The results of the questionnaire were found to be acceptable.
The readability of the labeling was found to be at the 7th grade level using a Flesch-
{7}
Kincaid analysis.
## Pre-, Peri- and Post-Menopausal study
To evaluate the false positive rate of the Preview Digital Pregnancy Test in non-pregnant females, 100 urine samples were collected from normal, non-pregnant females in each of the following age ranges: 18-40 years of age (pre-menopausal), 41-55 years of age (peri-menopausal), and >55 years of age (post-menopausal). All samples were tested with three lots of Preview Digital Pregnancy Test. Half of the samples from each group were tested by dip method, and half by mid-stream method. No positive results were obtained from any of the samples tested, in either of the test modes.

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.
