A Device Description:
The Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Device is intended for the collection, preservation and transport of oral fluid specimens for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cocaine and its metabolite benzoylecgonine, morphine, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, 6-acetylmorphine, phencyclidine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, buprenorphine, methadone, benzodiazepines and tramadol. The device consists of a single cellulose pad affixed to a polypropylene stem. The oral fluid sample is collected by placing the cellulose pad under the tongue.
B Principle of Operation:
An oral fluid specimen is collected by placing the collector under the tongue of an individual until a defined volume of saliva has saturated the cellulose pad. The defined volume taken up by the cellulose pad is indicated by coloration (blue) in a window on the stem (the volume adequacy indicator). The collector is then transferred into a provided polypropylene tube containing a specific volume of preservative buffer, and stoppered with the provided cap. The specimen is then ready for storage or transport.
The Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection System collects 1 mL of neat oral fluid and dilutes it with 3 mL of preservative buffer. This results in a X4 dilution factor.

Sample Volume
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate the consistency of the oral fluid sample volume collected by the Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection device. In this study, seventy-five oral fluid samples from known drug users were collected using the device.
After the volume adequacy indicator turned blue on the collector stems, the collector was weighed and compared to the average weight of collector before collection. The difference in weight was noted, and the volume was calculated using the weight difference and the specific gravity for saliva based on scientific literature references. Summary results of the study were as follows:
| Mean (mL) | 1.003 |
| --- | --- |
| SD (mL) | 0.040 |
| CV% | 4.017 |
| Min (mL) | 0.935 |

Sample Collection Time
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate the range of collection times observed in which seventy-five oral fluid samples from known drug users were collected using Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection device. A timer was started at the time the collector was placed into subject's mouth and stopped when the volume adequacy indicator turned blue on collector stem and the collector was taken out of the mouth. The length of time was documented.
The results demonstrated that all of the subjects were able to provide an adequate volume of oral fluid within 10 minutes using the Quantisal device. The mean time required for collection was 3 minutes and 51 seconds. The maximum time required for collection was 7 minutes 0 seconds.
# Drug Recovery
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate the analytical recovery of drugs from oral fluid samples collected with the Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Device. The samples under test for each drug (THC, benzoylecgonine, cocaine, morphine, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, 6-acetylmorphine, phencyclidine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, buprenorphine, methadone, nordiazepam, and tramadol) were prepared by spiking the drug into negative oral fluid at $\pm 25\%$ and $+50\%$ of the cutoff concentration used, resulting in the target concentrations listed in the table below.
None of the test samples were provided directly from human donors. The sample preparation (spiking) was done in borosilicate glass tubes.
Three Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Devices were then introduced sequentially into each aliquot and removed after the volume adequacy indicator turned blue. The collector was then placed into the transport tube, sealed with a snap cap and stored overnight at room temperature. The next day the pad was separated from the stem and the liquid in the tube was analyzed by GC-MS or LC-MS-MS in replicates of three to determine percentage recovery. The results of the study are summarized in the table below.
| Drugs | Target Concentration (ng/mL) | Mean recovery (%) | Low recovery (%) | High recovery (%) |

All recoveries for all drugs at all concentrations were within $\pm 10\%$ of the reference measurement.
The sponsor performed studies to evaluate the extraction efficiency of human oral fluid out of the Quantisal collection pad and into the transport buffer solution, and separately to evaluate the stability of the drugs in the diluted oral fluid samples stored in the Quantisal transport tube at $25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and at $2^{\circ} - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.
K200801 - Page 6 of 13
{6}
All test samples for these studies were prepared by spiking into pools of drug-free oral fluid at a concentration +50% of the cutoff. The sample preparation (spiking) was done in borosilicate glass tubes. None of the test samples were provided directly from human donors.
## Oral Fluid Sample Extraction Efficiency
The concentration of each spiked sample solution pool was confirmed by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS in replicates of three to establish the initial concentration. Samples were then collected by dipping the collection pad into the spiked sample and stored in three independent Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Devices. GC-MS or LC-MS/MS testing was performed in three replicates for each device at each of the following time points:
- immediately after being placed into the collection tube.
- at 4 hours, 24 hours, 5 days, and 10 days post collection at 25°C
- at 5 days, 10 days, and 1, 2, and 3 months post collection at 2°C - 8°C
At each time point, aliquots from each of the three collection devices were analyzed in triplicate, for a total of nine measurements per concentration per drug.
After insertion of the Quantisal collector pad into the transport tube, the neat oral fluid containing drug extracts into the buffer solution over a period of time. Extraction efficiency of drug into solution was evaluated during the first 24 hours post-collection to determine the point at which extraction was complete. The device is intended for transport of oral fluid samples to a laboratory for drug testing after the sample is collected (typically overnight and estimated to be 8-24 hours), and immediate use of the diluted sample is not expected or recommended. The labeling for the device states that samples should not be tested until a minimum of 4 hours has passed after specimen collection to allow sufficient time for any drug(s) present to be extracted from the pad into the preservation buffer.
Extraction efficiency in terms of percent drug recovery was calculated at the immediate, 4-hour, and 24-hour time points (under ambient room temperature storage) by comparing the average concentration of the nine replicates to the initial concentration of the spiked oral fluid pool before collection by the Quantisal device. At 24 hours, the recoveries for all drugs ranged from 93% to 102%, and this timepoint was used as the baseline comparison for evaluating sample stability at the remaining timepoints in the study.
The reason for using the timepoint of 24 hours instead of the immediate timepoint was to ensure that sample extraction was not confounding the sample stability results.
## Oral Fluid Sample Stability After Extraction
Sample stability in terms of % of initial concentration was calculated at Day 5 and Day 10 time points at ambient temperature (25°C) and Day 5, Day 10, Month 1, Month 2 and Month 3 time points at 2 - 8°C by comparing each timepoint to the concentration at 24 hours.
All analytes were considered to be stable up to 10 days at room temperature (up to 25°C) and up to 3 months at 2 - 8°C except for THC and cocaine.
K200801 - Page 7 of 13
{7}
THC is stable for up to 10 days at room temperature and up 2 months at 2 - 8 °C.
Cocaine is stable for up to 5 days at room temperature and up 1 month stored at 2 - 8 °C. Cocaine is unstable in samples and converts to benzoylecgonine. Benzoylecgonine is the metabolite of cocaine and is found only in samples from subjects who have taken cocaine.

## Borosilicate Glass Vial Stability
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate whether borosilicate glass vials used for collection of expectorated neat oral fluid sample could affect the drug concentrations.
All test samples for this study were prepared by spiking into drug-free oral fluid. None of the test samples were provided directly from human donors.
Drug free expectorated oral fluid was spiked with the drug analyte at a concentration +50% of the respective cutoffs. The initial concentration of the solution was analyzed by GC-MS or LC-MS-MS. Three borosilicate glass vials were introduced sequentially into each aliquot, stored at 25°C for 48 hours, and then tested using the same analytical method in replicates of three for each vial.
The mean variation in % recovery for each analyte was as follows:

## Sample Transportation Stability
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate the stability of drugs in human oral fluid samples during transportation. All test samples for this study were prepared by spiking into drug-free oral fluid. None of the test samples were provided directly from human donors.
Drug free oral fluid was spiked with the drug analyte at a concentration $\pm 50\%$ of the screening cutoffs. Three Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Devices were introduced sequentially into each aliquot and removed after the volume adequacy indicator turned blue. The collector of each Quantisal was then placed into the transport tube, sealed with a snap cap and packed in standard boxes used by carriers. During the 4-day (96 hours) simulated transportation study, the samples were stored in an oven or freezer at temperatures ranging from $-20^{\circ}\mathrm{C} - 40^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ following the transport simulation design below to encompass the temperatures likely to occur during shipment of products. The device used as the reference (unstressed) condition was stored continuously at the recommended storage condition at $2^{\circ}\mathrm{C} - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.
The temperatures and duration at each step and temperature were as follows:
| Step | Cycle Temperature (°C) | Duration (hour) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | -20±5 | 1 |
| 2 | 4±5 | 1 |
| 3 | 15±5 | 63 |
| 4 | 25±5 | 27 |
| 5 | 30±2 | 2 |
| 6 | 35±2 | 1 |
| 7 | 40±2 | 1 |
After proceeding sequentially through all seven temperature conditions, the samples were analyzed using LC-MS/MS in replicates of two for each sample and compared to the reference sample. The $\%$ recoveries for individual replicates were all within $\pm 10\%$ of the samples stored at the recommended condition of $2^{\circ}\mathrm{C} - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.

# Supplemental Sample Transportation Stability
The sponsor also provided a supplemental sample transportation stability study to further verify the stability of the drug analyte in human oral fluid samples collected by the Quantisal device during transportation, including exposure to extreme temperatures for up to 24 hours.
All test samples for this study were prepared by spiking into drug-free oral fluid. None of the test samples were provided directly from human donors.
Drug free oral fluid was spiked with the drug analyte at a concentration ± 50% of the screening cutoffs. Nine Quantisal™ Oral Fluid Collection Devices were introduced sequentially into each aliquot and removed after the volume adequacy indicator turned blue. The collector was then placed into the transport tube, sealed with a snap cap and packed in standard boxes used by common carrier (FedEx). Three each of the Quantisal transport tubes containing specimen (per each concentration) were stored at 25°C (room temperature) for 24 hours to simulate uncontrolled ambient conditions, and a second set (three each per concentration) of transport tubes were stored at 40°C for 24 hours to simulate extreme heat conditions. The third set of tubes (three each per concentration) was used as the reference (unstressed) condition and was stored continuously at the recommended storage condition at 2°C - 8°C. Each of the tubes was agitated using a platform rocker for 6 hours during the 24-hour simulation. LC-MS/MS testing was performed in replicates of two for each transport tube sample and compared to the reference sample.
The % recoveries for individual replicates at 25°C and 40°C were all within ± 10% of the samples stored at the recommended condition of 2°C - 8°C.
# Clinical Specimens Testing
Expectorated Oral Fluid Samples Processed Through Quantisal (Dipping Study)
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate whether drug concentrations in native unaltered samples collected by the Quantisal device are comparable to the expectorated neat oral fluid concentrations.
Sixty de-identified, unaltered oral fluid samples containing drug for each drug class were collected from self-reported drug users by expectoration (spitting) and shipped to Immunalysis overnight. A minimum of ten samples of each drug were within ± 50% of the cutoffs. The expectorated samples were analyzed at the laboratory by LC-MS/MS or GC-MS. A Quantisal device was introduced into each expectorated sample and removed after the volume adequacy indicator turned blue. The time until the volume adequacy indicator turned blue was noted. The collector was then placed into the transport tube, sealed with a snap cap and stored overnight at room temperature. The next day the pad was separated from the stem and the liquid in the tube was analyzed by mass spectrometry. The Quantisal results were compared to expectorated results and the range of recoveries and the linear regression statistics for each analyte is presented below:

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.
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.
