Retrospective repository serum samples were used to evaluate the clinical performance (agreement) of the LIAISON® CMV IgG and IgM assays against predicate devices.
The LIAISON® CMV IgG assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) in human serum. It is intended to be used as an aid in the determination of serological status to CMV. The LIAISON® CMV IgM assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgM antibodies to human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) in human serum. It is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of acute CMV infection.
Device Story
LIAISON® CMV IgG and IgM assays are chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) performed on the LIAISON® Analyzer. Input: human serum samples. Principle: indirect CLIA using magnetic particles coated with hCMV antigen; mouse monoclonal antibody-isoluminol conjugate; starter reagents induce flash chemiluminescence. Analyzer measures light signal (RLU) via photomultiplier; signal intensity correlates with antibody concentration. Used in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Output: qualitative determination of hCMV IgG or IgM antibodies. Healthcare providers use results to assess CMV serological status or diagnose acute infection, facilitating clinical management of patients.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical trials conducted at multiple US and European sites compared LIAISON® assays against predicate ELISA methods. IgG assay: 320 prospective samples (98.13% agreement), 202 pregnancy samples (99.01% agreement), 100 retrospective samples (100% agreement). IgM assay: 1499 prospective samples (90.79% agreement), 200 pregnancy samples (98.50% agreement), 100 retrospective samples (97.0% agreement). Reproducibility studies (4 sites, 9-sample panels) showed acceptable precision. Interference studies confirmed no significant impact from hemolysis, lipemia, or icterus. Cross-reactivity testing evaluated potential interference from related viruses and autoimmune conditions.
Technological Characteristics
CLIA technology; magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with hCMV antigen; mouse monoclonal antibody-isoluminol derivative conjugate; photomultiplier detection of RLU; automated processing on LIAISON® Chemiluminescence Analyzer; serum sample matrix; includes buffer with goat IgG to human IgG (IgM assay) to reduce interference.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgG or IgM antibodies to human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) in human serum to aid in determining serological status (IgG) or diagnosing acute infection (IgM).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Cytomegalovirus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to cytomegalovirus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by cytomegaloviruses (principally cytomegalic inclusion disease) and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Cytomegalic inclusion disease is a generalized infection of infants and is caused by intrauterine or early postnatal infection with the virus. The disease may cause severe congenital abnormalities, such as microcephaly (abnormal smallness of the head), motor disability, and mental retardation. Cytomegalovirus infection has also been associated with acquired hemolytic anemia, acute and chronic hepatitis, and an infectious mononucleosis-like syndrome.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
INTENDED USE: The LIAISON® CMV IgG assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgG antibodies to human cytomegalovirus (hCMV) in human serum. It is intended to be used as an aid in the determination of serological status to CMV. LIAISON® Control CMV IgG kit is used in conjunction with LIAISON® CMV IgG immunoassay for monitoring substantial reagent failure.
KIT DESCRIPTION: The method for qualititative determination of specific IgG to hCMV is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the LIAISON® Chemiluminescence Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with hCMV antigen and a conjugate of mouse monoclonal antibody to human IqG linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate).
During the first incubation, hCMV antibodies present in the calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with hCMV IgG already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle.
Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of the presence of hCMV IgG in calibrators, samples or controls.

INTENDED USE: The LIAISON® CMV IgM assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of IgM antibodies to teomfology on the EMROON VANA serum. It is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of acute CMV infection. LIAISON® Control CMV IgM kit is used in conjunction with LIAISON® CMV IgM immunoassay for monitoring substantial reagent failure.
KIT DESCRIPTION: The method for qualititative determination of specific IgM to hCMV is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the LIAISON® Chemiluminescence Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with hCMV antigen, a buffer of goat IgG to human IgG and a conjugate of mouse monoclonal antibody to human IgM linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminolantibody conjugate).
During the first incubation, calibrators, samples or controls are diluted with buffer A, which contains goat IgG to human IgG as an absorbent reagent to curb interference from human IgG specific to hCMV or from rheumatoid factor. During the second incubation, hCMV antibodies present in the calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the third incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with hCMV IgM that is already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation, the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle.

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.
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.
