Device Story
Solid-phase, two-site chemiluminescent immunometric assay; measures CA125 antigen in human serum. Input: 50 μL patient serum sample. Process: Two 30-minute incubation cycles; sample incubated with biotinylated capture antibody-coated bead and alkaline phosphatase-conjugated detection antibody; sandwich immunocomplex formed; centrifugal wash removes unbound conjugate; chemiluminescent substrate added for 10-minute incubation; luminometer measures photon emission. Output: Relative light units (RLU) proportional to CA125 concentration (U/mL). Used in clinical laboratories; operated by trained laboratory personnel. Results aid clinicians in monitoring ovarian cancer therapy response and detecting residual disease. Benefits: Quantitative assessment of tumor marker levels to inform clinical management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified via CLSI guidelines: EP17-A2 (detection limits), EP05-A3 (precision/reproducibility), EP07-ED3 (interference), and EP28-A3 (reference range). Method comparison (N=253) against predicates showed strong correlation (Passing-Bablok regression). Biotin interference tolerance improved to 3500 ng/mL with ≤10% bias.
Indicated for quantitative measurement of CA125 antigen in serum to monitor therapy response in patients with epithelium ovarian cancer and to detect residual disease in patients post-first-line therapy considered for second-look procedures.

IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA has been modified from the previously cleared assay which is susceptible to interference from biotin. The modification was made to add additional biotin to blocking buffer during solid phase manufacturing, which eliminates the risk of biotin interference.
## B Principle of Operation:
The IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA are solid-phase chemiluminescent immunometric assays. The solid phase consists of polystyrene latex beads coated with anti-CA 125 antibody (Ab). The patient sample incubated with beads and alkaline phosphatase antibody conjugate which results in a bead pair immunocomplex sandwich consisting of capture Ab-antigen-detection Ab (30-minute incubation cycle). Next, a wash buffer is added to remove unbound conjugate (30-minute cycle). Unbound conjugate is removed by centrifugal wash, following by addition of chemiluminescent substrate to the beads and incubated for 10 minutes. The chemiluminescent substrate undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of the alkaline phosphatase to yield an unstable intermediate, which then emits photons. The sustained emissions are measured by the luminometer. The resulting relative light units (RLU) are proportional to the concentration of CA 125 in the sample, which is expressed as U/mL.

2. Linearity:
The linearity study was conducted following CLSI EP06-Ed2. A panel of nine samples was prepared by mixing high serum native sample with a low native serum sample to cover the claimed analytical measuring range of each of two assays, IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA. For each assay, the samples were tested on four replicates per sample using three reagent lots of each assay on one instrument. The data was analyzed using weighted least squares linear regression. Percent deviations from linearity were calculated as differences between the observed values (mean values) and the predicted values divided by the predicted values. Results are summarized below.
IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA
| Kit Lot | Dilution Range (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R² | % Deviation from Linearity |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 2.07 – 423.08 | 1.06 (1.01 – 1.11) | -0.11 (-0.39 – 0.18) | 1.00 | 0.8% – 6.4% |

Automatic dilution versus manual dilution (IMMULITE 2000)
To verify the auto-dilution function on IMMULITE 2000 instrument platform, one high sample (>500U/mL) was diluted using the onboard dilution function and compared with dilution of the same sample that was manually diluted by the same dilution factor. The high native serum pool was diluted using assay diluent 10x, 20x and 40x. The study was conducted on three kit lots of the modified IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA kits on one IMMULITE 2000 platform. The dose by onboard dilution was compared to the dose obtained by manual dilution and % bias calculated and compared to the acceptance criteria. The study results demonstrated % bias within 10%.
## Hook Effect
Hook effect was evaluated by testing samples above the analytical measuring interval: from 500 to 146,000 U/mL. Three lot of reagents of each IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA were used. The results showed no hook effect up to 84,500 U/mL for IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and up to 80,000 U/mL for IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA.
## 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:
### Cross-reactivity
The cross-reactivity of the modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA assays with AFP, CA15-3, CA19-9, and CEA was evaluated by testing two patient sample pools at low level (between 8–12 U/mL) and one at a mid-level close to the cut-off (between 17–25 U/mL). Each substance was spiked into test samples, and control samples were prepared by spiking solvent into the samples. Samples were run in replicates of five using three lots of the modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA, and three lots of the modified IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA. The results confirmed that the modified devices have the same cross reactivity information for AFP, CA15-3, CA19-9 and CEA as presented in K981297 and K983391, respectively. The package insert has the following table for the cross reactivity:
| Compound | Concentration |
| --- | --- |
| AFP | 10,000 IU/mL |
| CA15-3* | 1753 U/mL |
| CA19-9 | 4000 U/mL |
| CEA** | 10,000 ng/mL |
*Cross-reactivity at 0.41% at analyte concentration of 7.1 U/mL
**Cross-reactivity at 0.05% at analyte concentration of 4.8 U/mL
## Interference
The interference of the modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA assays was performed following recommendations of CLSI EP07, 3rd ed.
K213510 - Page 8 of 12
{8}
Human Anti-Mouse Antibodies (HAMA) interference was evaluated by testing two patient sample pools at ~35 U/mL and ~175 U/mL. The samples were spiked with the commercially available HAMA Serum Type I (2680 µg/L) and HAMA Serum Type II (3960 µg/L). The samples were assayed in duplicate on one lot of modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and two lots of modified IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA.
Alkaline phosphatase interference was evaluated by testing three patient sample pools with CA 125 level at ~10 U/mL, ~21 U/mL, and ~100 U/mL. Alkaline phosphatase was spiked into test samples to attain a concentration of 700 U/L, control samples were spiked with solvent used for preparation of test samples. Samples were run in replicates of five on three lots of modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA, and three lots of modified IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA.
Bilirubin (conjugated and unconjugated), hemoglobin, intralipid (triglycerides), and biotin interference was evaluated by testing two patient sample pools at low level (~17 U/mL) and high level (~185 U/mL). Control samples were prepared by spiking of the solvent used to prepare the test substance into patient sample pools. Test samples were prepared by spiking working stocks containing the different interferent materials. Samples were run on one lot of modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA, and two lots of modified IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA.
The results for all interference studies were evaluated by calculation % bias between control and test samples. No significant interferences were observed up to the concentrations listed in the table below:
| Compound | Concentration |
| --- | --- |
| HAMA | 792 µg/L |
| Alkaline phosphatase | 700 U/L |
| Conjugated Bilirubin | 200 mg/L |

# Stability
The shelf-life of the modified reagents were tested using the representative assay, IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA assay. The study was performed following CLSI EP25-A. Three native serum sample pools at $\sim 10\mathrm{U / mL}$ , $\sim 21\mathrm{U / mL}$ , and $\sim 100\mathrm{U / mL}$ were prepared and conditioned by stressing the kits over a period of 30 days at the following temperatures: 15, 25 and $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ . Three lots of each of the modified reagent kits were stored over a period of 30 days at the following temperatures: 15, 25 and $37^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ , and assayed at the following timepoints: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 days, using one IMMULITE 2000 instrument. The results were analyzed by calculation first-order degradation kinetics using the Arrhenius equation approach. The study results supported kit stability for 365 days at $2 - 8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ .
# 6. Detection Limit:
Limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantitation (LoQ) was established for IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA following recommendations of CLSI EP17-A2.
The LoB was determined from the measurement of four analyte-free serum samples tested in six replicates per sample over three days using two reagent lots. LoB was calculated using the classical non-parametric approach by establishing the $95\%$ rank.
The LoD was determined from the measurement of five native low-level samples in five replicates, two runs per day over five days using two lots of reagents on two instruments. LoD was calculated as the $\mathrm{LoB} + 1.645 \times \mathrm{SD}$ of the replicates for the low level samples.
The LoQ was determined based on the LoD study described above using the precision profile. LoQ was defined as the level meet the $\% \mathrm{CV}$ of the within-lab imprecision of $20\%$ .
The results are summarized in table below:
| | IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA | IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA |
| --- | --- | --- |
| LoB | 0.14 U/mL | 0.18 U/mL |

B Comparison Studies:
1. Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA
A total of 253 native serum samples were tested one run per sample over eight days using three lots of the modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and one lot of the predicate device (K981297) on one IMMULITE platform. The samples included 103 samples from patients with ovarian cancer, 35 samples from patients with non-ovarian cancer (20 prostate cancer, 15 breast cancer), 40 samples from patients with nonmalignant diseases (12 gastrointestinal disease, 4 fibroma, 3 adenoma, 21 genitourinary), 50 samples from healthy females (25 pre-menopausal, 25 post-menopausal), and additional 25 contrived samples to cover the upper end of the measuring range. The contrived samples were prepared by mixing high CA 125 native samples (5% by volume) into low CA 125 native samples. Only the samples within the measuring ranges of both the modified device and the predicate were analyzed by Passing-Bablok regression, and the results are summarized below:
| Lot # | N | Range (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 246 | 1.03 – 466 | 0.995 (0.984 – 1.012) | -0.199 (-0.339 – 0.039) | 0.994 |
| 2 | 246 | 1.68 – 455 | 0.999 (0.988 – 1.013) | -0.047 (-0.211 – 0.175) | 0.995 |
| 3 | 247 | 1.27 – 471 | 1.022 (1.011 – 1.035) | -0.821 (-0.962 – -0.574) | 0.994 |
IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA
The same samples described above were tested one run per sample on one day using three lots of the modified IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA and one lot of the predicate device (K983391) on one IMMULITE 2000 platform. Only the samples within the measuring ranges of both the modified device and the predicate were analyzed by Passing-Bablok regression, and the results are summarized below:
| Lot # | N | Range (U/mL) | Slope (95% CI) | Intercept (95% CI) | R |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 246 | 2.47 – 511 | 1.032 (1.021 – 1.045) | 0.086 (-0.163 – 0.241) | 0.995 |
| 2 | 246 | 2.11 – 525 | 0.955 (0.941 – 0.963) | -0.256 (-0.445 – -0.038) | 0.994 |
| 3 | 246 | 2.29 – 489 | 0.976 (0.963 – 0.992) | -0.142 (-0.340 – 0.097) | 0.995 |

C Clinical Studies:
Clinical studies were conducted in K981297 and K983391.
D Clinical Cut-Off:
Clinical cut-offs were established in K981297 and K983391.
E Expected Values/Reference Range:
To verify the reference range of the modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA remaining the same as that established in K981297 and K983391, a total of 50 samples (21 pre-menopausal and 29 post-menopausal female) from apparently healthy female individuals were tested by following recommendations of CLSI EP28-A3c. Samples were from subjects representing three major ethnic groups (16 Caucasian, 16 African-American, and 34 Asian). The samples were run in duplicate, three lots of each of the modified reagent kits on each platform (six lots total). Five samples were excluded due to insufficient volume, three samples were found elevated (greater than 21 U/mL). The results are summarized in the Table below.
IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA
| | Lot 1 | Lot 2 | Lot 3* |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| n | 50 | 50 | 45 |
| n < 21 U/mL | 47 | 47 | 42 |
| % < 21 U/mL | 94% | 94% | 93% |
* five samples were not tested due to insufficient sample volume
IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA
| | Lot 1 | Lot 2 | Lot 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| n | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| n < 21 U/mL | 47 | 47 | 47 |
| % < 21 U/mL | 94% | 94% | 94% |
The result supports that there is no change of reference range established previously in K981297 and K983391 for the modified IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 OM-MA and IMMULITE 2000 OM-MA.

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.
