Indications for Use
The Cholestron™ Pro II Cholesterol Test (Cholestron) is a professional-use, point-of-care in vitro diagnostic device for the measurement of total cholesterol in fingerstick whole blood samples.
Device Story
The Cholestron Pro II is a point-of-care diagnostic system for professional use. It utilizes a photometer and single-use reagent strips. The user applies a fingerstick whole blood sample to the strip. The device employs an enzymatic Trinder reaction: cholesterol esterase splits cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids; cholesterol oxidase then oxidizes the cholesterol to produce hydrogen peroxide, which reacts with a reducing agent to create a blue color. The photometer measures this color intensity to quantify total cholesterol. Results are available in approximately three minutes. The device includes an external keypad for entering reagent lot information to ensure accuracy. Healthcare providers use the output to assess coronary heart disease risk and monitor lipid-lowering drug therapy. The device provides a rapid, quantitative measurement to assist clinical decision-making in a point-of-care setting.
Clinical Evidence
Accuracy was evaluated in two studies (n=62 each) comparing fingerstick whole blood results to the reference Abell-Kendall (A-K) method. Correlation coefficients (r) ranged from 0.93 to 0.95. Biases at 200 mg/dL and 240 mg/dL were within 3%. Precision was assessed using serum controls (n=30 replicates) and whole blood (n=30 replicates). Serum precision showed %CVs of 1.07-1.75% (Low) and 1.47-3.73% (High). Whole blood precision showed %CVs of 1.39% (Low) and 2.38% (High). All results met National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines for accuracy and precision.
Technological Characteristics
Photometric system using enzymatic Trinder reaction (cholesterol esterase/oxidase). Measures blue color intensity proportional to cholesterol concentration. Features 16-key user interface, 9-volt battery power, and external keypad for reagent lot code entry. Reportable range 150-300 mg/dL. Point-of-care, standalone device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the measurement of total cholesterol in fingerstick whole blood to aid in the detection of individuals at risk for coronary heart disease and the management of patients undergoing lipid-lowering therapy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

INTERFERENCE TESTING WITH BIOLOGICAL COMPOUNDS
{6}------------------------------------------------
## Therapeutic Compounds
Specificity testing was performed with common therapeutic compounds. The following compounds, when present in pathological concentrations, were found to possibly alter cholesterol results.
> Acetaminophen Ascorbic Acid Dopamine Gentisic Acid Methyldopa
## Brief Discussion of Clinical Data (21 CFR 807.92 (b)(2)
Studies were performed to evaluate accuracy and precision. Accuracy was evaluated by two studies of 62 subjects each, where results from testing with the Cholestron on fingerstick whole blood samples by each of two operators were compared to venous serum samples assayed by the reference Abell-Kendall (A-K) method. Precision was evaluated in both serum and whole matrices with two levels of cholesterol samples. Serum samples (commercial controls) were assayed in multiple "runs" over several days, and whole blood samples were assayed in single runs on a single day.
| Comparison | n = | r = | Slope | y-intercept | Bias at<br>200 mg/dL<br>(% bias) | Bias at<br>240 mg/dL<br>(% bias) |
|--------------------|------|------|-------|-------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Operator #1 vs A-K | 57* | 0.95 | 0.855 | 32 | 203<br>(1.50%) | 237<br>(-1.25%) |
| Operator #2 vs A-K | 62** | 0.94 | 0.840 | 37 | 205<br>(2.50%) | 239<br>(-0.42%) |
| Operator #3 vs A-K | 62 | 0.94 | 0.858 | 32 | 204<br>(2.00%) | 238<br>(-0.83%) |
| Operator #4 vs A-K | 62 | 0.93 | 0.882 | 28 | 204<br>(2.00%) | 240<br>(-zero) |
#### CHOLESTRON ACCURACY STATISTICS
* 5 Cholestron values out of range ** 1 Cholestron value out of range
The data demonstrate all comparative biases were within 3%, as specified by National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines. Each operator obtained Cholestron results that compared closely with the A-K results, and the Cholestron meets NCEP's guidelines for accuracy.
{7}------------------------------------------------
## SERUM PRECISION
A two-level commercial control set was assayed six times a day (three replicates in the morning, and three replicates in the afternoon) over five days for a total of 30 replicates for each level. The controls were label-assigned at mean values of 180 mg/dL ("Low", range 154-207 mg/dL) and 256 mg/dL ("High", range 221-292 mg/dL), and testing was performed via the pipetting of 25μL of sample onto each of two Cholestron devices.
| DAY | N = | MEAN | STANDARD<br>DEVIATION | PERCENT<br>COEFFICIENT<br>OF VARIATION |
|--------|-----|-------|-----------------------|----------------------------------------|
| 1 | 6 | 184.7 | 2.58 | 1.40 |
| 2 | 6 | 186.3 | 3.27 | 1.75 |
| 3 | 6 | 183.7 | 2.94 | 1.60 |
| 4 | 6 | 186.3 | 2.50 | 1.34 |
| 5 | 6 | 181.2 | 1.94 | 1.07 |
| Weekly | 30 | 184.4 | 3.17 | 1.72 |
#### SUMMARIZED SERUM PRECISION DATA-LOW CONTROI
## SUMMARIZED SERUM PRECISION DATA-HIGH CONTROL
| DAY | N = | MEAN | STANDARD<br>DEVIATION | PERCENT<br>COEFFICIENT<br>OF VARIATION |
|--------|-----|-------|-----------------------|----------------------------------------|
| 1 | 6 | 228.5 | 6.38 | 2.79 |
| 2 | 6 | 233.2 | 4.26 | 1.83 |
| 3 | 6 | 233.0 | 7.38 | 3.17 |
| 4 | 6 | 234.2 | 8.73 | 3.73 |
| 5 | 6 | 225.8 | 3.31 | 1.47 |
| Weekly | 30 | 230.9 | 6.73 | 2.91 |
Cholestron's within-day imprecision ranged from 1.07 %CV to 1.75 %CV with the Low control, and from 1.47 %CV to 273. %CV with the High Control. The between-day (or total) imprecision was 1.72 %CV for the Low Control, and 2.91% CV for the High Control. Testing of the serum controls demonstrated Cholestron meets the NCEP guidelines for precision with %CVs within 3%.
{8}------------------------------------------------
#### WHOLE BLOOD PRECISION
Whole blood precision was evaluated by repeat testing of two levels of venous heparinized whole blood; the whole blood samples were targeted at 200 mg/dL and 240 mg/dL. Whole blood precision was included in the clinical trial as this is the relevant matrix for the Cholestron. Testing was performed via the pipetting of 25uL of sample onto the devices.
| LEVEL ID | N = | MEAN | STANDARD<br>DEVIATION | PERCENT<br>COEFFICIENT<br>OF VARIATION |
|----------|-----|-------|-----------------------|----------------------------------------|
| LOW | 30 | 179.4 | 2.50 | 1.39 |
| HIGH | 30 | 228.1 | 5.43 | 2.38 |
#### SUMMARIZED WHOLE BLOOD PRECISION DATA
The data demonstrated %CVs of 1.39% ("Low"), and 2.38% ("High"). The whole blood precision testing corroborated the serum precision testing, and confirms Cholestron meets the NCEP guidelines for precision with %CVs within 3%.
#### Performance Data - Conclusions (21 CFR 807.92 (b)(3))
Studies were conducted to evaluate Cholestron's accuracy and precision. Accuracy was assessed by paired testing of 62 whole blood/serum samples in two separate evaluations, and precision was assessed by repeated analyses of serum controls and whole blood samples.
The data demonstrated Cholestron meets the NCEP guidelines for accuracy and precision, with estimated biases within 3% of the reference method, and with percent coefficients of variation within 3%.

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.
