Indications for Use
The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA is an in vitro test for the quantitative determination of DF3 antibody-defined antigen, encoded by the MUC 1 gene, in serum and plasma. Serial test results obtained with the Centocor CA 15-3 RIA, are useful in the early detection of recurrence in patients previously treated for stage II or stage III breast cancer, who are clinically free of disease. Early detection of recurrence cannot be readily accomplished by routine clinical or diagnostic studies alone. The use of a circulating serum tumor marker assay, such as Centocor CA 15-3 RIA, can be useful in the identification of these patients. The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA should be used in conjunction with all relevant information derived from diagnostic tests, physical examination and full medical history, in accordance with appropriate patient management procedures
Device Story
Centocor CA 15-3 RIA is an in vitro diagnostic kit for measuring DF3 antibody-defined antigen in serum or plasma. It utilizes a 'forward sandwich' radioimmunoassay (RIA) principle. Murine monoclonal antibody 115D8-coated polystyrene beads bind the antigen in the specimen; a second murine monoclonal antibody (DF3) labeled with 125I acts as a tracer. Bound radioactivity, measured via gamma counter, is directly proportional to antigen concentration. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results are interpreted by clinicians alongside physical exams and medical history to monitor for breast cancer recurrence in patients previously treated for stage II/III disease. Benefits include earlier identification of recurrence compared to routine clinical studies alone.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Analytical performance evaluated using 204 serum samples from breast cancer patients compared against the TRUQUANT BR RIA. Results showed linear agreement with a slope of 0.93 and Spearman’s Rank Correlation of 0.92. Precision studies conducted across six laboratories using three kit lots over three days demonstrated intra-assay CVs of 5.4–9.4% and inter-assay lot CVs of 7.0–11.5%.
Indicated for quantitative determination of DF3 antibody-defined antigen (MUC 1 gene) in serum/plasma of patients previously treated for stage II or stage III breast cancer who are clinically free of disease, to aid in early detection of recurrence.

# Substantial Equivalence
The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA has been found to be substantially equivalent to Biomira Diagnostic’s TRUQUANT BR RIA, P950011, approved by the Food and Drug Administration on March 29, 1996.
# Device Description:
The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA is an *in vitro* diagnostic device based on the well established RIA “forward sandwich” principle. The device is in kit format and consists of murine monoclonal antibody 115D8-coated polystyrene beads, standards, diluent, positive control, and $^{125}\mathrm{I}$ radio-labeled, murine monoclonal antibody, DF3. Antibody coated beads are incubated with a specimen or the appropriate standards and controls. During this initial incubation step, DF3 antibody-defined antigen present in the specimen are bound by the coated beads. Unbound material present in the specimen are removed by aspiration and washing. In the second step, the beads are incubated with DF3 radio-labeled with $^{125}\mathrm{I}$. The tracer detects DF3 antibody-defined antigen bound to the beads during the initial incubation step. The unbound tracer antibody is removed by washing and aspiration. The bound radioactivity is determined by counting the beads in a gamma counter. The bound radioactivity is directly proportional to the concentration of the DF3 antibody-defined antigen in the specimen. A standard curve is obtained by plotting the DF3 antibody-defined antigen concentration of the standards against the bound radioactivity.
# Intended Use
The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA is an *in vitro* test for the quantitative determination of DF3 antibody-defined antigen, encoded by the MUC 1 gene, in serum and plasma of patients previously treated for stage II or stage III breast cancer. Serial test results obtained with the Centocor CA 15-3 RIA, in patients who are clinically free of disease,

should be used in conjunction with all relevant information derived from diagnostic tests, physical examination, and full medical history in accordance with appropriate patient management procedures used for early detection of recurrence.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in the United States. It is estimated that approximately 184,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed each year and that approximately 44,000 woman will die of the disease. One of every nine women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer and approximately 30% of women who have this malignancy will die of the disease. Metastatic disease may be present at the time of initial diagnosis and can occur at any time following primary therapy. Up to 70% of patients with metastases will respond to systemic treatment with cytotoxic drugs or endocrine therapy; therefore, early detection of recurrence is important to patient management. The median survival following diagnosis of recurrent disease is approximately 2 years, but may range from a few months to decades.
In patients previously treated for stage II or stage III disease, early detection of recurrence cannot be readily accomplished by routine clinical or diagnostic studies alone. A circulating serum tumor marker assay, such as the Centocor CA 15-3 RIA, can be useful in the identification of these patients.
## Technological Characteristics:
The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA and TRUQUANT BR RIA both utilize well established solid phase radioimmunoassay procedures for quantifying the amount of antigen in patient specimens. The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA is based on the "forward sandwich" principle. The amount of tracer bound to the assay solid phase is directly proportional to the amount of antigen present in the patient sample. The TRUQUANT BR RIA is based on the "competitive inhibition" principle. With this method, the amount of tracer bound to the solid phase is inversely proportional to the amount of antigen present in the patient sample.

Both the Centocor CA 15-3 RIA and the TRUQUANT BR RIA utilize monoclonal antibodies directed against mucinous antigens associated with carcinoma of the breast. These antigens are large molecular weight glycoproteins with O-linked oligosaccharide chains. Breast carcinoma-associated antigen, encoded by the human MUC 1 gene, is identified by several names including DF3 antibody-defined antigen, MAM 6 and milk mucin.
## Performance Data
### Analytical Performance in Breast Cancer Patients
Analytical performance of the CA 15-3 assay was evaluated in a study in which serum samples were obtained from 204 breast cancer patients. Each sample was analyzed using the Centocor CA 15-3 RIA and the TRUQUANT BR method. Samples were analyzed on two occasions, with both assays, using multiple product lots. The assays were compared for linear agreement using Bablock-Passing regression analysis, with the other commercial method as the reference method. The results are summarized below:
204 = Total samples tested
0.93 = Slope
-2.04 = Intercept
0.92 = Spearman’s Rank Correlation
### Inter and Intra Assay Precision
Twenty-four coded samples (2 sets of twelve samples) and one kit control were tested in duplicate by six laboratories using three Centocor CA 15-3 RIA kit lots on each of three days. The order of the coded samples was randomized for each day’s testing. The estimates of intra-assay precision (CVₑ) ranged from 5.4 to 9.4%. The estimates of inter-assay lot precision (CVₐ) ranged from 7.0% to 11.5%. Samples with a mean CA 15-3

assay value around the reference value of 35 U/mL had CVₓ s of in the range of 5.8% to 8.5%. Nonclinical Studies
## Conclusion from Studies
The Centocor CA 15-3 RIA and the TRUQUANT BR RIA demonstrated good linear agreement and precision comparable to that claimed in the TRUQUANT BR RIA product instructions. The two products are substantially equivalent.

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.
