3. Special conditions for use statement(s):
For prescription use only
The following limitations are included in the labeling:
The testing of Omadacycline with Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms was performed using the autoreader (OptiRead) and Vizion reading methods only. The use of an alternative reading method when testing Omadacycline has not been evaluated.
Studies of Omadacycline with gram negative and gram positive non-fastidious organisms were performed using the AIM autoinoculator. The use of an alternative inoculation system when testing meropenem/vaborbactam has not been evaluated.
The ability of the Sensititre system to detect resistance to Omadacycline in the following species is unknown because resistant strains were not available at the time of comparative testing: S. aureus (MRSA and MSSA), Enterococcus faecalis and S. lugdunensis. Isolates yielding omadacyline MIC results suggestive of a resistant interpretive category should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.
Resistance mechanism characterization was not available for all organisms at the time of comparative testing, and therefore the performance of the Sensititre Omadacycline for non-fastidious gram-negative and gram-positive organisms is unknown for organisms harboring the following resistance mechanisms: tetB, tetK, tetL, tetM.
The safety and efficacy of Omadacycline in treating Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure infections (ABSSSI) due to organisms other than K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae or Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumoniae (CABP) due to organisms other than K. pneumoniae may or may not have been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. The clinical significance of susceptibility information in such instances is unknown.

## L. Test Principle:
The Sensititre 18-24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System includes multi-well plastic microtiter plates that contain doubled dilution of antibacterial agents. Each plate includes antimicrobial agents at appropriate dilutions. Results can be read by the digital device, VIZION, or by use of an automated reader (OptiRead).
The VIZION allows the panel image to be displayed on a touch screen directly from a video camera and allows the user to manually determine MIC results. The Sensititre OptiRead utilizes fluorescence technology to read the microbroth dilution plates after 18 to 24 hours incubation. The technology involves the detection of bacterial growth by monitoring the activity of specific surface enzymes produced by the test organism. Growth is determined by generating a fluorescent product from a fluorogenic substrate. The substrate is prepared by conjugating a fluorescent compound to the specific enzyme substrates with a bond which prevents fluorescence. The enzymatic action of the bacterial surface enzymes on the substrate cleaves the bond releasing fluorescence. The amount of fluorescence detected is directly related to bacterial growth. The MIC is determined by observing the lowest dilution of antimicrobial agent that inhibits growth of the organism. The substrate can be added to the inoculum broth which is dispensed into the test plate at the same time as the test organism, or, the plates can be prepared with the substrate already added to each micro-well.

M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
A reproducibility study was performed at four sites using a panel comprised of 12 strains of Enterobacteriaceae: (K. pneumoniae (four isolates), E. cloacae (one isolate), E. coli (five isolates) and K. oxytoca (two isolates). Thirteen gram positive isolates from indicated species were evaluated including S. aureus MSSA (five isolates), S. aureus MRSA (five isolates) and E. faecalis (three isolates). In addition, one non-indicated gram positive species was tested. All isolates were tested in triplicate over three days with each read method (i.e., VIZION and OptiRead). The Sensititre Aim inoculator was used for plate inoculation. The mode MIC value was determined and the reproducibility was calculated based on MIC values falling within ±1 dilution of the mode MIC value. Reproducibility was greater than 95% for both read methods with both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and was considered to be acceptable.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Quality control strains recommended by the CLSI were tested with Omadacycline at four sites. The QC organisms tested were E. coli ATCC 25922, S. aureus ATCC 29213 and E. faecalis ATCC 29212. The QC strains were tested a minimum of 20 times per site and read using the VIZION and OptiRead. The results demonstrate that the Sensititre 18-24 hour MIC or Breakpoint panel with Omadacycline produced quality control results in the recommended range >95% of the time (Table 2).

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Results obtained with Sensititre 18 – 24 hour MIC or Breakpoint Susceptibility System with Omadacycline were compared to results obtained with the CLSI broth microdilution reference panel. Drug dilutions were prepared using fresh Mueller Hinton broth as indicated in CLSI M100, 28th ed. Clinical testing was performed at four sites, three of which were in the U.S. A total of 365 clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates were tested comprised of the following species: K. pneumoniae (96 isolates), E. cloacae (41 isolates), E. coli (108 isolates), Citrobacter spp. (57 isolates), K. aerogenes (20 isolates), and K oxytoca (43 isolates). A total of 390 gram positive clinical isolates were tested comprised of the following species: S. aureus (MSSA, 201 isolates, MRSA 199 isolates), S. lugdunensis (20 isolates), and E. faecalis (60 isolates). All of the clinical isolates tested were fresh isolates. During the course of the clinical trial, all Sensititre dried MIC panels were inoculated using the Sensititre Autoinoculator (AIM) and the same panel was read on both the VIZION (manual read) and the OptiRead in a blinded manner. The sponsor added the following limitations to the device labeling to reflect these inoculation and read methods:
Studies of Omadacycline with gram positive and gram negative organisms were performed using the AIM autoinoculator. The use of an alternative inoculation system when testing Omadacycline has not been evaluated.
The testing of Omadacycline with Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms was performed using the autoreader (OptiRead) and VIZION reading methods only. The use of an alternative reading method when testing Omadacycline has not been evaluated.
A total of 194 challenge isolates were tested at a single site. Species tested included K. pneumoniae (28 isolates), E. cloacae (11 isolates), E. coli (16 isolates), Citrobacter spp. (8 isolates), K. aerogenes (7 isolates), K. oxytoca (5 isolates), S. aureus (MSSA, 50 isolates, MRSA 50 isolates), S. lugdunensis (14 isolates), and E. faecalis (5 isolates).
For the Enterobacteriaceae, results were evaluated for essential agreement (EA) and category agreement (CA). For CA evaluation, the same breakpoints for both Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP) and Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) (≤4, 8, ≥16) were used as noted on the FDA-Recognized Susceptibility Test Interpretive Criteria Website (STIC) (https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DevelopmentApprovalProcess/DevelopmentResources/ucm575163.htm). The results from clinical and challenge testing determined with the

VIZION demonstrated a combined EA of 100% and CA of 96.6%. A total of 438 isolates were determined to have evaluable results; the EA of evaluable results was 100% (Table 3). Clinical and challenge isolate results for the Enterobacteriaceae determined with OptiRead demonstrated a combined EA of 99.8% and CA of 96.6%. A total of 438 isolates were determined to have evaluable results; the EA of evaluable results was 99.8% (Table 5).
For S. aureus (MSSA) results were evaluated for essential agreement (EA) and category agreement (CA). For CA evaluation, the STIC-recognized breakpoints for CABP, the combined MIC results from clinical and challenge testing determined with the VIZION demonstrated EA of 100% and CA 90.4%; EA of evaluable results was 100% (Table 4). For MIC results determined with OptiRead, the combined results from clinical and challenge testing demonstrated an EA of 99.2% and CA of 100%; EA of evaluable results was 99.2% (Table 6).
For S. aureus (MSSA and MRSA) evaluated using the STIC-recognized breakpoints for ABSSSI, combined MIC results of clinical and challenge testing read using VIZION demonstrated an EA of 99.4% and CA of 97.8%; EA of evaluable results was 99.4% (Table 4). Using OptiRead, results demonstrated an EA of 98.4% and CA of 98.8%; EA of evaluable result was 98.4% (Table 6).
MIC results for isolates of S. lugdunensis were evaluated using STIC-recognized breakpoints for ABSSSI only and showed 100% EA and CA for results read on both VIZION and OptiRead (Tables 4 and 6).
MIC results for isolates of E. faecalis were evaluated using STIC-recognized breakpoints for ABSSSI only. Results obtained using VIZION demonstrated an EA of 93.8% and CA of 92.3%; EA of evaluable was 97.7% (Table 4). For results obtained using OptiRead, EA was 95.9% and CA was 93.8%; EA of evaluable was 100% (Table 6).
For all gram-positive organisms, an insufficient number of resistant strains were encountered during the clinical evaluation. The sponsor included the following limitation in the device labeling:
The ability of the Sensititre system to detect resistance to Omadacycline in the following species is unknown because resistant strains were not available at the time of comparative testing: S. aureus (MRSA and MSSA), Enterococcus faecalis and S. lugdunensis. Isolates yielding omadacyline MIC results suggestive of a resistant interpretive category should be submitted to a reference laboratory for further testing.

To address the testing of non-indicated species the following footnotes were included in the device labeling:
The safety and efficacy of Omadacycline in treating Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure infections (ABSSSI) due to organisms other than K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae or Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumoniae (CABP) due to organisms other than K. pneumoniae may or may not have been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. The clinical significance of susceptibility information in such instances is unknown.
The safety and efficacy of Omadacycline in treating Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure infections (ABSSSI) due to organisms other than S. aureus (MRSA and MSSA, S. lugdunensis and E. faecalis or Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumoniae (CABP) due to organisms other than S. aureus (MSSA only) may or may not have been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials. The clinical significance of susceptibility information in such instances is unknown.
## Resistance Mechanisms
Challenge isolates harboring the resistance mechanisms against which Omadacycline has been shown to be active were not tested. The sponsor added the following limitation to the device labeling:
Resistance mechanism characterization was not available for all organisms at the time of comparative testing, and therefore the performance of the Sensititre Omadacycline for non-fastidious gram-negative and gram-positive organisms is unknown for organisms harboring the following resistance mechanisms: tetB, tetK, tetL, tetM.
## MIC Trending
An analysis of trending was conducted using the combined clinical and challenge data for each organism group. This trending calculation takes into account MIC values that are determined to be one or more doubling dilutions lower or higher compared to the reference method irrespective of whether the device MIC values are on-scale or not. Trending results are shown in Table 7 for Enterobacteriaceae and for gram positive organisms in Table 8. Results for Enterobacteriaceae were also stratified by species to determine if particular trends were observed. The acceptable percent difference between higher and lower dilution readings is <30%.

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.
