## Description of Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma:
Pacific Hemostasis (PH) Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma is a lyophilized preparation of fresh human plasma with added buffers. PH Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient plasma is intended for use in a clinical laboratory for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity. The product is prepared from pooled normal plasma depleted of factor V by immobilized, highly specific antibodies. The Factor V activity contained in the product is less than 1% of normal levels. All other coaqulation factors are within the normal range. The reconstitution volume is 1.0 mL (with deionized or distilled The product is available in packages containing 10 vials. The water). reconstituted plasma is stable for 8 hours when stored stoppered at 2-8°C. Each unit of source material used in the preparation of this product has been
{1}------------------------------------------------
tested by an FDA approved method and found non-reactive for HB Ag (Hepatitis B Surface antigen) and negative for antibodies to HIV and HCV. However, since no known test method can offer complete assurance that product derived from human blood will not transmit Hepatitis. AIDS, or other infectious diseases, this product should be handled as potentially infectious biological material.
## Intended Use of Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma
Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient plasma is intended for use in a clinical laboratory for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity. Factor V activity in patient or control plasma is assayed by the amount of Prothrombin Time (PT) correction produced by the test plasma when mixed with Factor V deficient plasma. Results are compared to the degree of PT correction of a reference plasma with known Factor V activity. A pool of normal plasma is considered to vield 100% correction in the PT time, and has 100% of the normal Factor V concentration.
## Summary of of Performance Data For Substantial Equivalence Comparisons
Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma was compared to Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma (K912679). Both products are lyophilized preparations of human plasmas. The Factor V fevel in both is less than 1%; all other coagulation factors are within the normal range. The intended use for both products is identical; for the quantitative measurement of Factor V activity in patient plasma.
Day-to-day precision studies were performed to assess the reproducibility of the Factor V standard curve prepared with the immunodepleted plasmas. One lot of Pacific Hemostasis (PH) Universal Coagulation Reference Plasma (UCRP, with known FV Activity) was used to generate the Factor V standard curves. PH Thromboplastin-D was used as the Prothrombin Time reagent, and PH Diluting Fluid (Barbital Buffered
{2}------------------------------------------------
Saline) was used as the diluent. All testing for the day-to-day precision studies was run on the MLA®-1000C™. This is an automated coagulation analyzer, thus minimizing imprecision introduced by human error (i.e. pipetting). Standard curves prepared with Pacific Hemostasis and Dade brand immunodepleted plasmas were run on 10 days. There was very little variation in the standard curves for both products as evidenced by the slope and R2 values obtained (range of R2 values was .996-.999). The following table summarizes the day-to-day standard curves obtained:
| | PH Standard Curves<br>n=10 | Dade Standard Curves<br>n=10 |
|------------|----------------------------|------------------------------|
| Mean Slope | -0.285 | -0.245 |
| 1 SD | 0.002 | 0.006 |
| % CV | 0.83 | 2.42 |
Table 16. Summary of Standard Curve Data
To determine the precision of the standard curves prepared daily, the recovery of Factor V activity contained in five reference plasmas was determined. The reference plasmas chosen for analysis contain Factor V in the normal, abnormal and markedly abnormal range, they are: 1) a different lot of PH UCRP, 2) PH Abnormal Coagulation Reference Plasma (ACRP), 3-5) PH Abnormal Factor V Controls, Levels 1, 2 and 3. The following table is a summary of the results obtained:

*n=10 for each reference plasma
{3}------------------------------------------------
The day-to-day recovery of Factor V activity (%CV) contained in four of the five reference plasmas was equivalent for both PH and Dade standard curves (curves prepared using either PH or Dade brand FV immunodepleted deficient plasmas). A slightly higher CV was obtained for the FV Abnormal Level 3 control using the PH immunodepleted plasmas (12.5% versus 4.0%). However, the imprecision observed at this level of Factor V activity is not clinically significant. The assigned Factor V value for this control is 5%, a value that is in the very low abnormal range, and below the normal cut off for both standard curves. This control was included in the analysis to determine the accuracy of extrapolated values at the low end of the range (for internal reference only). It is not recommended to report patient values that fall outside of the linear portion of the standard curve. To determine a patient Factor V value in this range (which is very rare), testing of a different sample dilution would be required. Alternatively, a standard curve representing Factor V activity in the low range could be generated.
The Factor V values obtained for the reference plasmas, using both immunodepleted plasmas. were compared to the assigned Factor V values. The assigned reference Factor V values were plotted against the recovered Factor V values using either PH or Dade brand immunodepleted FV plasmas. Linear regression was done and the slope of the line calculated. A slope of 1.0 with a correlation coefficient of 1.0 indicates exact recovery of Factor V values to the assigned reference values. The recovery of Factor V activity using both immunodepleted plasmas was quite good. The slope and R2 values obtained using Pacific Hemostasis brand substrate were 0.915 and 0.989, respectively; for Dade, 0.977 and 0.991, respectively.
The reconstituted stability claim for both PH and Dade brand immunodepleted Factor V deficient plasmas is 8 hours at 4°C. To evaluate the reconstituted stability, several vials of each brand of immunodepleted substrate were reconstituted, pooled and stored at 4℃ for 8 hours. Standard
{4}------------------------------------------------
curves were prepared utilizing the 8-hour stored plasmas and compared to freshly reconstituted immunodepleted plasmas. The standard curves obtained using fresh and aged plasmas were indistinguishable for both PH and Dade brand deficient substrates, as evidenced by the data in the following table:
| | PH Standard Curve | Dade Standard Curve |
|----------------------------------|-------------------|---------------------|
| Fresh ID Plasma:<br>Slope<br>R2 | -0.278<br>0.999 | -0.245<br>0.999 |
| 8-Hour ID Plasma:<br>Slope<br>R2 | -0.284<br>0.999 | -0.246<br>0.998 |
ID = immunodepleted plasma
In addition, the recovery of Factor V activity contained in two reference plasmas (normal and abnormal) was determined using the fresh and 8-hour aged immunodepleted Factor V deficient substrates. The Factor V activity determined in the two reference plasmas was equivalent for both fresh and aged plasmas, supporting the 8-hour reconstituted stability claim. (With PH immunodepleted plasma, the FV value contained in the normal and abnormal reference plasmas changed -3.6% and 3.5% respectively, over the 8-hour time period. With Dade, the FV value contained in the normal and abnormal reference plasmas changed -1.9% and 2.0%, respectively, over the same time period.)
To further assess the reconstituted stability of the immunodepleted plasmas, a guantitative measurement of the Factor VII and Factor X levels contained in freshly reconstituted and 8-hour aged immunodepleted plasma was determined. Factor VII and Factor X were chosen for evaluation since the PT based Factor V assay will also detect deficiencies in both. There was no decrease in Factor VII and Factor X activity observed for both immunodepleted plasmas over the 8-hour incubation time period. These
{5}------------------------------------------------
combined data strongly support the reconstituted stability claim for Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma.
Last, the performance of PH and Dade brand immunodepleted Factor V deficient plasmas was evaluated on several different coaqulation analyzers. The instruments chosen for evaluation included two manual, one semiautomated and two fully automated coagulation instruments: the Amelung KC 4 ATM, BBL® Fibrometer, MLA®-700, MLA®-1000C™ and the ACL-3000PLUS These instruments represent approximately 80% of the clinical analyzers currently used in this country. All Factor V assays were performed following the instrument manufacturer's protocol. Standard curves were generated using both immunodepleted plasmas and the recovery of Factor V activity contained in the five different reference plasmas was determined.
For all instruments tested, the Factor V activity level recovered in the reference samples using PH immunodepleted plasma was equivalent to that obtained using the Dade product. The Factor V values recovered in the reference plasmas using PH substrate were plotted aqainst those obtained with Dade for each instrument analyzed. Linear regression was performed and the slope of the line calculated. Excellent correlation was obtained on all instruments, with the slope ranging from 0.917-1.196, and the R2 ranging from 0.992-0.999. When all instrument data was combined, linear regression vielded a slope of 1.068 and an R2 value of 0.977, suggesting equivalent performance for PH and Dade brand immunodepleted plasmas.
In summary, the indistinguishable intended use, technological characteristics and combined performance data support the substantial equivalence claim for Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma to Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma. Therefore based on the data provided, it is our conclusion that Pacific Hemostasis Immunodepleted Factor V Deficient Plasma is substantially equivalent to Dade® Immunoadsorbed Factor V Deficient Plasma.

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.
