For the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr Virus (recombinant) Nuclear Antigen-1 (EBV-EBNA-1 IgG) in human serum by indirect enzyme immunoassay. The Is-EBV-EBNA-1 IgG Test Kit may be used in combination with other Epstein-Barr serologies (Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG and IgM , Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen-1 (EBNA-1) IgM, Early Antigen-Diffuse (EA-D) IgG and IgM and heterophile antibody as an aid in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis (IM). The evaluation of paired sera, to determine a significant increase in EBNA-1 IgG antibody titer, can also aid in the diagnosis of acute infection. These reagents can be used either manually or in conjunction with the MAGO® Plus Automated Processor.
Device Story
The Is-EBV-EBNA-1 IgG ELISA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic assay for detecting IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen-1 in human serum. The device uses recombinant EBNA-1 antigen bound to microwells. Patient serum is added; if anti-EBNA-1 IgG is present, it binds to the antigen. After washing, a horseradish peroxidase-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is added, followed by a TMB substrate. The resulting color change is measured spectrophotometrically at 450/600 nm. The absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration of IgG antibodies. The assay can be performed manually or using the MAGO® Plus Automated Processor. Results are calculated as an index value (sample absorbance/cut-off absorbance). Clinicians use these results alongside other EBV serologies to diagnose infectious mononucleosis or acute infection.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation involved 175 characterized patient sera (102 convalescent, 34 seronegative, 39 current infection). Testing showed 95.4% overall agreement with EBV serological status. Sensitivity was 98.0% and specificity ranged from 87.2% to 97.1%. Precision studies (intra-assay and inter-assay) were conducted across three sites, with CVs generally ranging from 2.46% to 10.78%. Correlation between manual and MAGO Plus automated processing was high (Pearson r = 0.991). No cross-reactivity was observed with VZV, CMV, or HSV.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic ELISA. Recombinant EBNA-1 antigen bound to microwells. HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgG conjugate. TMB substrate. Manual or automated (MAGO Plus) processing. Spectrophotometric readout at 450/600 nm. Storage at 2-8°C.

Indicated for qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of IgG antibodies to EBV-EBNA-1 in human serum to aid in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis (IM) and acute infection. For use in clinical laboratory settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Epstein-Barr virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus infections and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these viruses. Epstein-Barr viruses are thought to cause infectious mononucleosis and have been associated with Burkitt's lymphoma (a tumor of the jaw in African children and young adults) and postnasal carcinoma (cancer).

#### Principle of Procedure:
Recombinant EBNA-1 antigen is bound to microwells. Diluted patient sera. Cut-Off Calibrator and controls are placed inthe microwells and incubated. Anti-EBNA-1 IgG antibodes, if present, will bind to the antigen forming antigen-antibody complexes. Residual sample is eliminated by aspirating and washing. Conjugate (horseradish peroxidase-labeled anti-human IgG) is added and will bind to these complexes. Unbound conjugate is removed by aspiration and washing. Substrate is then added and incubated. In the presence of bound enzyme the substrate is converted to an end product. The absorbance of this end product can be read spectrophotometrically at 4.0

#### C. Specificity with Potentially Cross-Reactive Sera
Sixteen sera, non-reactive) for IgG antibudies to EBNA-1 in the Is-EBNA-1 IgG Test Kit, were tested by IIIA for IgG antibody to varietla zoster, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus. 15/15 anti-VZV IgC passive sers were non-reactive for anti-EBNA-1 IgG; 3/3 anti-CMV IgG positive sera were non-reactive for anti-EBNA-1 IgG and 3/3 and-HSV positive sera were non-reactive for anti-EDNA-1 IgG. "This suggests that no specific crass-tenchyly should be expected with the Is-EBNA-1 IgG Test Kit from these analytes.
## D. Correlation of Manual and MAGO Plus Results
The Is-EBNA-1 IgG Test Kit has been developed for automated as well as manual use. To demonstrate the equivalence of the manual and MAGO Plus procedures, the results of 197 serum samples tested by hoth methods were plotted. A seattergram and regression line of the results obtained with 95% confidence interests in shown in Figure 3. The data indicate good correlation with a Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 0.991.

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.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
