Device Story
Device is an in vitro diagnostic kit used with HYDRAGEL IF and HYDRASYS 2 electrophoresis system; detects monoclonal proteins in human serum. Isatuximab, a therapeutic IgG kappa monoclonal antibody, typically creates a false-positive band in the gamma region during electrophoresis, mimicking endogenous paraproteins. The kit contains anti-isatuximab antiserum; this binds to isatuximab in the patient sample, forming an isatuximab/anti-isatuximab complex. This complex shifts the isatuximab band from the gamma zone to the alpha-1 zone on the gel. Clinicians visually evaluate the electropherograms to identify monoclonal proteins without interference. This enables accurate monitoring of multiple myeloma patients treated with isatuximab, facilitating clinical response assessment per IMWG criteria.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of analytical performance studies including precision, interference, and method comparison. Precision studies (repeatability and between-day/lot/instrument) showed 100% concordance. Interference testing confirmed no interference from endogenous factors (bilirubin, triglycerides, hemoglobin, RF, HAMA) or exogenous myeloma therapies (pomalidomide, carfilzomib, etc.) up to tested concentrations. Method comparison using 257 total samples (53 internal, 204 external) demonstrated 100% concordance between the subject device and reference characterization.
Technological Characteristics
Kit includes anti-isatuximab antiserum, sample diluent, and green applicators. Uses agarose gel electrophoresis (HYDRAGEL IF) and semi-automated HYDRASYS 2 electrophoresis apparatus. Detection via acid violet staining. Connectivity is standalone/instrument-based. Sterilization not specified. Software is embedded in the HYDRASYS 2 system (IF program).
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of monoclonal proteins in human serum via immunofixation electrophoresis in patients receiving isatuximab therapy to mitigate isatuximab IgG kappa interference.

B Principle of Operation:
Abnormal bands in serum protein electropherograms (SPEP), primarily those in the beta globulin and gamma globulin zones, are suspected to be monoclonal proteins (M-proteins, paraproteins, monoclonal immunoglobulins). The presence of monoclonal protein as indicated by SPEP leads to testing of sample with an immunofixation (IF) technique to detect and identify the monoclonal protein components, using the HYDRAGEL IF assay.
Isatuximab is a human therapeutic IgG kappa monoclonal antibody and as such, during the clinical monitoring of patients treated with isatuximab, this antibody is visualized as a band detected by serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation in the gamma region. The presence of isatuximab can be interpreted as an endogenous IgG kappa monoclonal protein, and thus confound the clinical interpretation of the assay results.
The HYDRASHIFT isatuximab immunofixation procedure performed on the HYDRAGEL IF 2/4 gel is based on the creation of an isatuximab/anti-isatuximab antibody complex that is shifted outside the gammaglobulin zone. With the HYDRASHIFT isatuximab procedure, the isatuximab/anti-isatuximab antibody complex is visualized in alpha-1 zone on the IgG and Kappa immunofixation tracks and the isatuximab interference is removed from the gamma zone. This can allow for the visualization of any endogenous IgG kappa monoclonal proteins by IF that may have been masked by the endogenous isatuximab.

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
A Analytical Performance:
Unless stated otherwise, all of the results described below met the manufacturer's predetermined acceptance criteria.
1. Precision:
To evaluate precision, a panel of 10 serum samples were tested using the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab procedure using either the HYDRAGEL 4 IF Acid Violet Standard Mask, or the HYDRAGEL 4 IF Acid Violet Dynamic Mask. The panel of 10 samples contained a normal isatuximab control, a normal serum control, and eight human serum samples with different monoclonal protein components. These eight serum samples were analyzed as native samples or with the addition of an isatuximab spike-in to verify the concordance between native and spiked samples. The samples tested for precision are described in the table below:
| Sample # | Sample Type | Samples examined |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Normal isatuximab control | Native serum |
| 2 | Normal serum control | Native serum |
| 3 | IgG kappa | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 4 | IgG lambda | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 5 | IgA kappa | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 6 | IgA lambda | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 7 | IgM kappa | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 8 | IgM lambda + IgA kappa | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 9 | Free Kappa component | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
| 10 | Free Lambda component | Native serum and 1.0 g/L isatuximab-spiked serum |
{5}
Within-in run precision (repeatability):
Each of the above 10 samples was tested four times within the same gel. As noted above, sample #1 and #2 were run without the addition of isatuximab as controls. Samples #3—#10 were run as native samples without isatuximab or with an isatuximab spike-in (1.0 g/L). All samples were run with both the Standard Mask (SM) and Dynamic Mask (DM) for a total of eight assessments per sample. The gel results were read and evaluated by two readers for the presence or absence of monoclonal proteins and the presence of the isatuximab/anti-isatuximab antibody complex visualized in the alpha-1 zone on the IgG and kappa immunofixation tracks. The repeatability was evaluated visually for the concordance of monoclonal bands for each sample. The results showed 100% concordance for each sample, and between the same sample tested with the SM and DM, and between readers. The results are summarized below:
- Native samples were 100% concordant when visualized using the SM and DM.
- Replicates of isatuximab spiked samples were 100% concordant between SM and DM. Samples with monoclonal proteins other than the IgG kappa (isatuximab monoclonal component) were 100% concordant when compared with native samples.
- An isatuximab/anti-isatuximab band was observed in the alpha-1 zone on the IgG and kappa immunofixation tracks in isatuximab-spiked samples.
Between-day, between-lot/instrument precision:
To evaluate the total imprecision of between the gel, lot, and instrument components, the same 10 samples in the format described above were assessed on three HYDRASYS 2 instruments using one HYDRASYS 2/4 isatuxmab lot per instrument, over three working days. Samples were run with both the HYDRAGEL 4 IF Acid Violet Standard Mask (SM) and HYDRAGEL 4 IF Acid Violet Dynamic Mask (DM) for a total of nine assessments per sample for each method. The normal isatuximab control was assessed on nine gels over three working days, yielding a total of 27 assessments each using the SM and the DM. In addition, samples #3—#10 were tested with or without an isatuximab spike-in (1.0 g/L), as described in the repeatability study. All results were read by two readers. The results were evaluated visually for the concordance of monoclonal proteins and the presence of isatuximab/anti-isatuximab antibody complex in the alpha-1 zone for each sample. The results showed 100% concordance for all of the samples between days, instruments and lots, between SM and DM visualization methods, and between the two readers.

Not applicable
## 5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
### Traceability:
The isatuximab control and the anti-isatuximab antibody are traceable to internal reference controls.
### Isatuximab CONTROL:
The isatuximab control is manufactured from a pool of human sera complemented with isatuximab, which is a therapeutic human IgG kappa monoclonal antibody. The isatuximab control is in a stabilized lyophilized form and sold separately.
K203184 - Page 7 of 11
{7}
The freeze-dried isatuximab control vial must be stored refrigerated (at 2–8°C). It is recommended to run the isatuximab Control after each change of lot of a reagent (agarose gel, diluent or antisera).
**Stability:**
Except for the istuximab control and the anti-isatuximab antibody, the test reagents of HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab kit were cleared in K960669. All the components are stable until the expiration date indicated on the kit box or on the component labels.
**Kit Stability:** To determine the expiration date for the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab kit components, including IgG anti-isatuximab antibody and HYDRAGEL IF diluent, an accelerated and real time stability studies were, or are currently being, performed. Briefly, IgG anti-isatuximab reagent was stored for 10 weeks at 15–30°C in an accelerated shelf-life stability study, or stored for 6 months at 2–8°C in a real time stability study. Similarly, the stability of HYDRAGEL IF diluent reagent was stored for 3 months at 37°C in an accelerated stability study and for 6 months at 2–8°C or 30°C in a real time stability. The results from the accelerated stability studies support the following stability claims:
- IgG anti-isatuximab reagent is stable for up to 2 years at 2–8°C.
- HYDRAGEL IF diluent is stable for up to 3 years at 2–8°C or 3 years at 30°C.
**Sample stability:** To assess the stability of serum samples before their analysis using the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab kit in conjunction with the HYDRAGEL 4 IF Acid Violet Dynamic Mask, six serum specimens with different monoclonal components (IgG kappa, IgA lambda, IgM kappa, IgG lambda, IgA kappa, and IgM lambda) were spiked with isatuximab antibody, and stored under various conditions (fresh, 10 days at 2–8°C, 3 days at 15–30°C, 3 months at –18 to –30°C) before being assessed for their monoclonal components via immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE). The tests were performed by one operator on three separate days and evaluated for 100% concordance between the reference and test condition. The results demonstrate that samples are stable under the following conditions:
- Samples are stable for 10 days when stored at 2–8°C
- Samples are stable for 3 days when stored at 15–30°C
- Samples are stable for 3 months when stored at –18°C to –30°C
6. Detection Limit:
**Sensitivity:**
A sensitivity study was performed in order to determine the threshold detection value for visualization of the isatuximab/anti-isatuximab antibody complex. Five serum samples containing different monoclonal gammaglobulinemia components were used in this study and shown as follows:
| Sample | Sample Type | Total Band Protein Concentration |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sample A | High gamma globulin serum pool | |
| Sample B | Pooled normal serum | |
| Sample C | High IgG kappa | 9.3 g/L |
| Sample D | High IgA kappa | 38.2 g/L |
| Sample E | High IgM kappa | 12.4 g/L |
K203184 - Page 8 of 11
{8}
Each of above samples was spiked with different concentrations of isatuximab for six final concentration points (0.0 g/L, 0.1 g/L, 0.2 g/L, 0.3 g/L, 0.5 g/L, 1.0 g/L, and 3.0 g/L isatuximab). Each native and isatuximab-spiked serum sample was assessed by one operator in one run on three instruments utilizing both the SM and the DM methods. The results showed that the limit of detection for the isatuximab/anti-isatuximab antibody complex in the alpha-1 zone of the IgG and kappa tracks is 0.3 g/L.
## 7. Assay Cut-Off:
Not applicable. The detection value for visualization of the isatuximab / anti-isatuximab antibody complex in the alpha-1 zone of the IgG kappa tracks is 0.3 g/L.
## B Comparison Studies:
### 1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
Three method comparison studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab kit in comparison to the predicate HYDRASYS IF device. One internal study and two complementary external studies were conducted.
#### Internal Study:
An internal study was conducted using 53 serum specimens, including 26 normal specimens and 27 specimens with monoclonal components, and analyzed using the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab procedure in conjunction with either HYDRAGEL 2 or 4 IF Acid Violet Standard Mask or Dynamic Mask for a total of four different configurations in the study. The samples were evaluated by one operator using two separate HYDRASYS instruments over seven working days as native specimens or as isatuximab-spiked (1.0 g/L) specimens. The results demonstrated 100% concordance between the various samples and masking procedures.
The results were summarized as follows:
| Initial Characterization | Isatuximab Spike-in Characterization | Number of serum samples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Normal | Normal | 26 |
| IgG kappa | IgG kappa | 9 |
| IgG lambda | IgG lambda | 4 |
| IgA kappa | IgA kappa | 3 |
| IgA lambda | IgA lambda | 3 |
| IgM kappa | IgM kappa | 3 |
| IgM lambda | IgM lambda | 2 |
| Free Kappa | Free Kappa | 3 |
| Total | | 53 |
#### External studies 1 and 2:
The external method comparison studies were performed at two U.S. sites. A collection of 203 native serum samples from healthy, untreated multiple myeloma, and isatuximab-treated multiple myeloma donors in complete remission (CR), very good partial response (VGPR),
K203184 - Page 9 of 11
{9}
partial response (PR), minimal response (MR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) were evaluated sites 1 and 2. An additional sample was evaluated at site 2 for a total of 204 (203+1) samples. The studies were conducted using the HYDRAGEL 4 IF Acid Violet Standard Mask and Dynamic Mask kits.
The results were summarized as follows:
| Initial Characterization | Isatuximab HYDRASHIFT 2/4 Characterization | Number of serum samples |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2* IgA kappa | 2* IgA kappa | 1 |
| 2* IgG kappa | 2* IgG kappa | 2 |
| 2* IgM kappa + IgG lambda | 2* IgM kappa + IgG lambda | 1 |
| 2* Lambda | 2* Lambda | 1 |
| IgA kappa | IgA kappa | 17 |
| IgA kappa + IgG kappa | IgA kappa + IgG kappa | 1 |
| IgA lambda | IgA lambda | 10 |
| IgA lambda + IgG lambda | IgA lambda + IgG lambda | 1 |
| IgA lambda + Lambda | IgA lambda + Lambda | 4 |
| IgG kappa | IgG kappa | 45 |
| IgG kappa + IgG lambda | IgG kappa + IgG lambda | 5 |
| IgG kappa + Kappa | IgG kappa + Kappa | 1 |
| IgG kappa + Lambda | IgG kappa + Lambda | 2 |
| IgG lambda | IgG lambda | 29 |
| IgG lambda + Lambda | IgG lambda + Lambda | 5 |
| Kappa | Kappa | 2 |
| Lambda | Lambda | 8 |
| Normal | Normal | 68 |
| Total | | 203 |
* An asterix (*) indicates multiple distinct molecular weight monoclonal gammaglobulin proteins. For example, 2* IgA kappa indicates that the sample contained two separate IgA kappa monoclonal gammaglobulin bands.
Each specimen was assessed for concordance between the disease reference and HYDRASHIFT 2/4 Isatuximab test analysis. If differences were observed between the two, the result was considered equivalent if the difference was attributable to the presence of isatuximab in the serum sample. For example, an IgA kappa sample would be considered concordant if it contained an isatuximab monoclonal band when assayed using the HYDASYS 2/4 IF device, but the isatuximab interference was eliminated when assayed using the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab test result, yielding an IgA kappa result. For the purpose of the study, the disease reference condition for the samples was predetermined by a clinician based on 2016 International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria.
The results demonstrated that the samples were 100% concordant between the reference result and the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab test result in both external studies.
Please note, while the purpose of the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab assay is to detect endogenous serum monoclonal proteins in the presence of isatuximab by removing isatuximab interference, if isatuximab is present in the sample at a concentration below the
K203184 - Page 10 of 11
{10}
limit of detection, an isatuximab/anti-isatuximab band may not be observed. In addition, an isatuximab/anti-isatuximab band may not be reliably seen in sera obtained from isatuximab treated multiple myeloma patients that are not in complete (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR), such as partial response (PR), minimal response (MR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) patients. This information may also be found in the package insert of the HYDRASHIFT 2/4 isatuximab kit.

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?

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.
