5. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
**Shelf-life Stability:** The shelf life for the PPH Saliva Collection Kit is nine (9) months at room temperature (15-30°C) after the date of manufacture. The shelf-life stability of the PPH Saliva Collection Kit was established in a real-time stability study that evaluated several time points (T = 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) for both temperature extremes. In this study, shelf-life stability also included evaluation of physical stability (appearance), color, volume loss, and pH stability during the period of storage. At each time point, the appearance of the product was inspected visually as a clear liquid without precipitation and with no observed volume loss, change in buffer PH, or color change when stored under the specified storage conditions.
**Sterilization:** The PPH Saliva Collection Kits are not sold as sterile nor are they intended to be sterilized by the user. These vials are single use devices that do not require cleaning or sterilization by the operator.
6. Detection Limit:
A limit of detection (LoD) study was conducted to determine the lowest concentration.

that contains measurable nucleic acids that can be repeatedly detected in samples collected in the PPH Saliva Collection Kit with greater than $95\%$ accuracy. RNA extraction was performed using magnetic bead purification on a Thermo Fisher Kingfisher Apex Purification system. Viral RNA was subsequently amplified using the Triplex CII-SARS-CoV-2 rRT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 detection assay (RUCGL.SCV2.2 assay). The primers and probes used in this assay allow simultaneous measurements of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid RNA (N1 and/or N2), and human Ribonuclease P (RP) transcripts. RT-qPCR was performed with RP primers as positive control to detect the human RNase P gene.
A preliminary LoD was established by evaluating three replicates of several serial dilutions of saliva spiked with SARS-CoV-2 and collected in the PPH Saliva Collection device. These samples were evaluated on the RUCGL.SCV2.2 assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection. For this assay, Ct values $< 40$ were considered positive for SARS-CoV-2.
Results from the preliminary LoD study are summarized in Table 1 below.
Table 1. Preliminary LoD Estimation Results
| Copies/μL | N1 Detection Rate | N1 Mean Ct | N2 Detection Rate | N2 Mean Ct |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 8 | 3/3 | 31.03 | 3/3 | 30.92 |
| 4 | 3/3 | 32.13 | 3/3 | 31.97 |
| 2 | 3/3 | 33.06 | 3/3 | 32.62 |
| 1 | 3/3 | 34.37 | 3/3 | 33.90 |
| 0.5 | 3/3 | 35.23 | 3/3 | 35.20 |
| 0.25 | 3/3 | 37.85 | 2/3 | - |
| 0.125 | 3/3 | 39.53 | 2/3 | - |
| 0.06125 | 2/3 | - | 1/3 | - |
| 0 | 0/3 | - | 0/3 | - |
The estimated LoD based on the preliminary results was identified as 0.125 copies/μL.
To further confirm this preliminary LoD assessment, four concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 (0, 0.0625, 0.125, and 0.25 copies/μL) in saliva were evaluated in 20 replicates using the PPH Saliva Collection Kit. Results from the LoD confirmation study are summarized in Table 2 below.
Table 2. Confirmatory LoD Study Results
| Copies/μL | N1 Detection Rate | N1 Mean Ct | N2 Detection Rate | N2 Mean Ct |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0.25 | 20/20 | 35.99 | 19/20 | 37.57 |
| 0.125 | 17/20 | - | 4/20 | - |
| 0.06125 | 18/20 | - | 5/20 | - |
| 0 | 0/20 | - | - | - |
K240797 - Page 5 of 8

In summary, the results of the LoD study indicate an LoD of 0.25 copies/μL with observed detection of 100% (20/20) for the N1 target and 95% (19/20) for N2 replicate.
## 7. Sample Stability:
A real-time sample stability study was conducted to evaluate the stability of samples containing SARS-CoV-2 when stored for up to 8 days at ambient temperature (20-25°C). Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 (Zeptometrix, Cat # NATSARS(COV2)-ST, 1.21×10⁶ copies/μl) was used to prepare contrived samples including 20 low positive samples (2X LoD) and 10 negative samples for each device lot. Briefly, saliva matrix and SARS-CoV-2 were combined at a ratio of 1:1 and then added to each collection tube containing 300 μl of PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer.
Sample stability was assessed at baseline (day 0), day 7, and day 8 after being placed in PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer and stored at ambient temperature (20-25°C). The difference in Ct over this time course is less than 1. The largest change in Ct observed was 0.40 at 8 days.
These test results fall within the established acceptance criteria and indicate that samples are stable in the PPH Saliva Collection Kits inactivating media for up to 7 days. Results for sample stability testing are summarized in Table 3 below.
Table 3. Sample Stability Study Results
| Samples Evaluated | Mean Ct & SD | Day 0 | Day 7 | Day 8 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Low positive (60 samples) | N1 Mean Ct | 35.9 | 36.14 | 36.2 7 |
| | SD | 0.43 | 0.5 | 0.523 |
| | N2 Mean Ct | 35.49 | 35.63 | 35.7 |
| | SD | 0.4 | 0.47 | 0.4 |
| Negative (30 samples) | - | - | - | - |
## SARS-CoV-2 Inactivation
An inactivation study was conducted to verify that the PPH Saliva Collection device inactivates SARS-CoV-2 as efficiently as the predicate device.
**Cytotoxicity:** A cytotoxicity study was performed to first determine at what dilution ratio the PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer would not be toxic to a cell monolayer.
To determine the cytotoxic effect of the buffer on test cells, Vero E6 cells that were seeded at a concentration of 2500 cells/well in each well of a 96 well plate was exposed to serially diluted PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer prepared in Vero E6 DMEM culture medium. Viability of the test cells was assessed using the CellTiterGlo assay (Promega #G7570) after 4 days of exposure and normalized to untreated cells. After the incubation period, a concentration of 1:5,000 PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer was determined not to have a cytopathic effect to the host cells.
K240797 - Page 6 of 8
{6}
Therefore, to conduct the viral inactivation study the PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer was diluted to 1:5,000 with DMEM media.
## Inactivation Assay:
Viral inactivation was assessed using a stock of SARS-CoV-2 (USA WA1/2020) at 5.65×10⁶ PFU/ml. To determine the amount of contact time required for viral inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 with PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer, the samples were prepared as follows:
1. Mixed virus stock with saliva at a 1:1 ratio.
2. Mixed virus and saliva with PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer at a 1:1 ratio.
3. Incubated for 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, or 240 seconds.
4. Diluted virus, saliva and buffer 1:5,000 with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM), a concentration previously determined not to be cytotoxic.
100 μL of each sample containing ~113 PFU of SARS-CoV-2 was added to a 96-well plate confluent with Vero E6 cells after media was removed. Six replicates were plated for each time point. The controls included and plated in triplicate included only media, Saliva and PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer (no virus), and Virus only. No PFUs were obtained after 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 seconds of exposure of the cells to the media in the PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer. Acceptance criteria were met for no detectable virus (zero positive plaques) after 4 days growth.
These study results support SARS-CoV-2 inactivation after 90 seconds of exposure to PPH Saliva Collection Kit buffer.

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.
