## D. Description of device [§807.92(a)(4)]:
## Principle of the Test:
The CdTOX A OIA test involves the qualitative detection of the enterctoxin (Toxin A) produced by Clostridium difficile. The Optical Immuno Assay technology enables the direction of a physical change in the optical thickness of molecular this change is a result of antigen-antibody binding on an optical surface (silicon wafer). When a sample containing Toxin A (antigen) from Clostridium difficile is placed directly on the optical surface, the immobilized specific antibody captures the antigen. After washing, the substrate is added, increasing the thickness (Mass Enhancement) of the molecular thin film. This change in thickness alters the reflected light path and is visually perceived as a color changes in optical thickness produce a distinct, visible color change. A positive result appears as a purple spot on the predominant gold background. When antigen is not present in the specimen, no binding takes place. Therefore, the optical thickness remains unchanged and the surface retains the original gold color indicating a negative result.

### 8.0 510(k) SUMMARY (page 3 of 4)
#### G. Summary of nonclinical testing [§807.92(b)(1)]:
#### Analytical Sensitivity:
The analytical sensitivity was determined by adding known concentrations of Toxin A to five specimens each of liquid, semi-solid, and solid stools. Seeded specimens were tested in duplicate by the CdTOX A OfA test. Results are summarized in the table below.
## Limit of Detection by Stool Type
| Toxin A Seeded Matrix | Limit of Detection (ng/g) |
|-----------------------|---------------------------|
| Buffer Control | 3 |
| Liquid Stool | 3-8 |
| Semi-Solid Stool | 4-8 |
| Formed Stool | 3-5 |
#### Analytical Specificity (Cross Reactivity):
To determine the analytical specificity of the CdTOX A OIA test, microorganisms were grown on the appropriate media and suspended to a concentration of approximately 1.0 X 10 cfu/mL or greater and tested in the absence and presence of Toxin A near the lower limit of detection of the assay. . Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia were rested at 1.25 X 10° cysts reactivity or interference was observed.
#### Interfering Substances:
Interference testing was performed to determine the effect of substances which might be encountered in the collection of specimens. Whole blood, Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), mucous (25mg/g), and barium sulfate (58% w/w suspension) were tested and did not interfere with the CdTOX A OLA test. All assays were run per the procedure described in the package insert.
#### Sample/Toxin Stability
Toxin stability in liquid, semi-solid, and formed stool was judged by spiking Toxin A (Lee Laboratories) at levels near the analytical sensitivity of the assay and testing at the specified times. Spiked samples were initially held at room temperature for 2 hours then transferred to 2-8℃ storage. These results show that over the sample consistency types tested, the toxin is sufficiently stable to allow detection in samples handled as recommended in the package insert.
#### Stool Consistency Reactivity:
The reactivity of stools with liquid, semi-solid, or formed consistency was evaluated using the OdTOX A OIA test and microwell EIA test. The positivity rates were similar for the two assays across all three types of stool specimens. All of the specimens in the clinical performance evaluation of the CdTOX A OLA rest were submitted for C. difficile testing on the basis of clinical history of the patient, not the consistency of the specimen. Test results are illustrated in the table below.
## Reactivity Data From Four Clinical Sites
#### Stool Consistency
| | Liquid (445) | Semi-solid (298) | Formed (80) |
|---------------|--------------|------------------|-------------|
| CdTOX A OIA + | 42 (9%) | 54 (18%) | 21 (26%) |
| EIA + | 51 (11%) | 50 (17%) | 19 (24%) |

#### 8.0 510(k) SUMMARY (page 4 of 4)
- Summary of clinical testing [§807.92(b)(2)]: H.
#### Reproducibility
Reproducibility testing was conducted using a stool marix at three hospital laboratories. Ten blinded samples were tested at each site at three separate times. Samples consisted of negative, low, and moderate levels of C. difficile Toxin A. The concentration of toxin in the low samples was less than 2-fold over the minimum detectable limit. The overall reproducibility was 94.4% (85/90). An additional study was done using artificial stool matrix. Comparable samples were prepared and tested at four hospital laboratories and three physician office laboratories (POLs). Overall reproducibility in this study was 97.6% (205/210); at the hospitals, 97.5% (117/120) at the POLs, 97.8% (88/90).
#### Clincal Sensitivity and Specificity
A sudy comparing the CdTOX A OIA test and a commercial microwell immunoassay, the Premier EIA, to cytotoxicity assay (CTA) was performed at a central hospital lab. The sensitivity, specificity, and concordance of the CdTOX A OIA test was 77.3%, 93.8%, and 91.0% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and concordance of the Premier ELA test was 81.8%, 92.0%, and 90.3% respectively.
The CdTOX A OIA test was evaluated versus the Premier EIA at four clinical trial sites (central hospital labs) located in the Southwest, Mid-Atlantic and East Coast regions of the United States. A total of 874 specimens from patients suspected of having or with a history of CDAD were evaluated by the CdTOX A OLA test and the Premier ELA. Of these, 823 gave unequivocal results using the BlA method. Concordance between the Cd TOX A OlA test and the Premier EIA test was 95.0% (98+/+, 684 -/-); discordance was 5.0% (19 +/-, 22 -/+).
- I. Conclusions from nonclinical / clinical testing [§807.92(b)(3)]:
The results of the above described internal and external studies demonstrate that the CdTOX A OLA test is as safe and effective as the cleared predicate device.
No additional information has been requested by FDA at this time.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
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.
