# B Principle of Operation:
The Alegria Flash MPO kit is designed to detect IgG class antibodies against MPO antigen in human sera. The Alegria Flash PR3 kit is designed to detect IgG class antibodies against PR3 antigen in human sera. The Alegria Flash GBM kit is designed to detect IgG class antibodies against GBM antigen in human sera. The test procedure for each assay involves three steps:
1. Sample diluent, test sera, and antigen-coated magnetic particles are added to a reaction cuvette. During the initial incubation, anti-MPO, anti-PR3, or anti-GBM antibodies present in the serum will bind to the immobilized antigen. The beads are then washed to remove unbound antibodies and other serum components.
2. An acridinium ester-conjugated anti-human IgG solution is then added to the reaction cuvette. During the second incubation, the conjugate reacts with IgG antibodies immobilized on the magnetic particles in step 1. The beads are then washed to remove unbound conjugate.
3. Two trigger solutions are added to the cuvette containing immobilized acridinium ester conjugate, causing a flash chemiluminescence reaction to occur. The light signal released by the chemiluminescence reaction is measured by a photomultiplier within the Alegria Flash analyzer and reported as relative light units (RLU). RLU values are converted to Relative Units (RU) within the software. RU values above a predetermined cutoff are indicative of the presence of anti-MPO antibodies within the original serum sample.

#### *Lot-to-lot precision:*
To evaluate the lot-to-lot precision of the Alegria Flash MPO Assay, Alegria Flash PR3 Assay, and Alegria Flash GBM Assay, 6–7 samples were prepared by diluting positive native serum samples with negative serum samples. The prepared samples, containing various levels of autoantibodies, were assayed in quintuplicate using three lots, once per day, on five different days ($n = 25$ total replicates per sample for each kit lot) using a single instrument for a total of 75 measurements per sample. The standard deviation (SD) and %CV of the within-day, between-day, within-lot, between-lot, and total imprecision were calculated for each sample. The results are summarized in the following tables:

## 2. Linearity:
Linearity for the Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM assays was evaluated based on CLSI EP06, 2$^{nd}$ Ed. For each assay, three dilution series were prepared by mixing one High native serum sample with a Low native serum sample. Dilutions were made in 10% increments that overlapped other samples' dilution series. Each sample was tested with five replicates per dilution level on one Alegria Flash Instrument. The percent (%) deviation from the weighted linear regression was used to assess the fit of the regression for each sample and analyte. The results are summarized in the following tables.

# Reference Sera:
Selected Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) IUIS Reference Standards samples, previously known as the CDC (Center for Disease Controls and Prevention) ANA Reference Panel, were tested in singlicate using one reagent lot of the Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM to illustrate the analytical specificity of the assay. Since no anti-GBM sample are available within the CDC panel, four ANCA-related serum samples were tested from a recent College of American Pathologists (CAP) survey sample set. The results are outlined below.

#### 4. Detection Limit:
Limit of Blank (LoB), Limit of Detection (LoD), and Limit of Quantitation (LoQ) for the Alegria Flash MPO, the Alegria Flash, PR3, and the Alegria Flash GBM assays were determined by following CLSI EP17-A2.
##### Limit of Blank (LoB):
To determine the LoB for each assay, four analyte free serum samples were run in 20 replicates, once a day for three days using two reagent lots, for a total of 60 data points per sample per lot (240 total replicates per lot). The LoB was determined for each analyte, on each reagent lot separately, at the 95th percentile using the non-parametric method for each assay.
##### Limit of Detection (LoD):
To determine the LoD for each assay, four low level samples were assayed in 20 replicates, for three days using two reagent lots, to generate a total of 60 data points for each sample on each reagent lot. The LoD was determined separately for each sample on each reagent lot and the highest LoD result was determined for the final LoD value, using the parametric method for each assay.
K261466 - Page 13 of 20
{13}
# Limit of Quantitation (LoQ):
To determine the LoQ for each assay, the four LoD samples and an additional four low-level samples greater than the LoD were run in 20 replicates, for three days using two reagent lots, to generate 60 data points for each sample on each reagent lot. The LoQ was determined separately for each sample on each reagent lot by calculating the total imprecision of each sample. The LoQ was defined as the lowest concentration level that meets the within-laboratory imprecision of ≤15% for each lot.
The claimed LoB, LoD and LoQ are shown in the following table for each assay
| | LoB (RU) | LoD (RU) | LoQ (RU)* |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Alegria Flash MPO | 17.23 | 21.90 | 24.06 |
| Alegria Flash PR3 | 19.89 | 24.43 | 24.44 |
| Alegria Flash GBM | 10.07 | 12.20 | 27.76 |
*The value of the claimed LoQ is considered the lower limit of AMI for each assay.
# 5. Assay Reportable Range
The assay reportable range is the same as the analytical measuring intervals (AMIs):
- Alegria Flash MPO: 24.06 – 570.65 RU
- Alegria Flash PR3: 24.44 – 550.43 RU
- Alegria Flash GBM: 27.76 – 504.08 RU
# 6. Traceability, Stability, Expected Values (Controls, Calibrators, or Methods):
Traceability:
There is currently no recognized international standard for the measurement of IgG anti-MPO, anti-PR3, or anti-GBM antibodies.
Reagent Stability:
The reagent stability studies for Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM assays were designed and conducted following CLSI EP25, 2nd Ed.
Shelf-life stability: To assess the shelf-life stability, six serum samples spanning the AMI with sample near the assay cut-off were assessed in triplicate on three lots of Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM kits at various time points up to 12 months. The results support that the assay kits are stable when stored unopened at 2-8°C for up to 9 months.
On-board stability: To assess the on-board storage stability, five to six serum samples spanning the AMI with sample around the assay cut-off were assessed in duplicate on one Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM reagent kits and two assay-specific Alegria Flash controls. The Alegria Flash reagents stored opened within the Alegria
K261466 - Page 14 of 20
{14}
Flash's refrigerated reagent bay and assayed at various time points up to 5 weeks. The results support that the assay kits are stable when on-board the instrument for 4 weeks.
Open cartridge stability: To assess the open cartridge stability, five to six serum samples spanning the AMI with sample around the assay cut-off were assessed in duplicate on one Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM reagent kits and two assay-specific Alegria Flash controls. The punctured reagent cartridges were removed from the instrument and then stored. The opened kits were then tested on the instrument at various time points up to 9 weeks. The results support that the assay kits are stable when opened for 8 weeks.
Transport stability: To assess the transport stability, serum sample panels were assessed in singlicate on one Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM reagent kits and two assay-specific Alegria Flash controls. The kits were shipped to two locations within the US and one outside of US (OUS), then the results were compared to unshipped kits. The results support that the assay kits are stable in-transit.
# Sample Stability:
Sample stored at 2-8°C or RT: To assess the stability of patient samples, two serum samples – a low positive and a high negative – were stored up to 15 days at 2-8°C or at room temperature. The samples were then assessed in triplicate and the percent recovery in comparison to the unmanipulated, baseline sample was determined for each storage condition. The results support that patient serum samples are stable when stored for up to 14 days at 2-8°C or at room temperature.
Freeze/thaw: To determine the stability of patient samples subjected to multiple freeze/thaw cycles, two serum samples – a low positive and a high negative – were subjected to five rounds of freeze/thaw cycles, consisting of ≥12 hours of storage at -20°C and a subsequent thaw. The samples were assessed for each condition in triplicate and the percent recovery in comparison to the unmanipulated, baseline sample was determined for each freeze/thaw cycle. The results support that patient serum samples are stable when frozen at -20°C and thawed for a maximum of four times.
# 7. Assay Cut-Off:
The cut-off for the Alegria Flash MPO, Alegria Flash PR3, and Alegria Flash GBM is 100 RU.

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.
