Device Story
Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of human hemoglobin in fecal samples. The test kit includes a test cassette, collection tube with extraction buffer, and collection paper. The user collects a stool sample using the provided applicator, mixes it with the extraction buffer, and applies the mixture to the test cassette sample well. The device uses a double antibody sandwich immunoassay principle; hemoglobin in the sample binds to antibody-dye conjugates and is captured by immobilized antibodies on a membrane, forming a visible pink line in the test region (T) if hemoglobin levels are at or above the 45 ng/mL cutoff. A control line (C) indicates proper test performance. Results are read visually after 10 minutes. The device is intended for use in clinical settings or by lay users at home to aid in diagnosing GI bleeding. It provides a rapid, non-invasive screening tool for occult blood, potentially facilitating early detection of GI disorders.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Evidence consists of bench testing, including precision/reproducibility (overall agreement 99.1%), linearity/hook effect (no susceptibility up to 200,000 ng/mL), stability (24 months shelf life), interference, and specificity. A method comparison study (n=525) against the predicate showed 99.6% overall agreement. A lay-user study (n=100) demonstrated 100% agreement between lay-user and professional results for clinical samples and 98% agreement for spiked samples.

## K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
Not applicable
## L. Test Principle:
Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood Test is a qualitative test designed for the immunochemical detection of human hemoglobin (hHb) in stool specimens. When the extracted specimen (~33mg/mL) is introduced to the sample well of the testing cassette, the specimen is absorbed into the device by capillary action, mixes with the hemoglobin specific mouse monoclonal antibody-dye conjugate, and flows across the pre-coated membrane. The bound complexes (antibody-dye conjugates/hHb) are then captured by antibodies immobilized
{3}
in the test region (T) of the device. When the hemoglobin antigen levels in specimens are at or above the target cut-off, the immobilized antibody-dye conjugate/antigen complex produces a colored test band and indicates a positive result. When the hemoglobin antigen levels in specimens are below the target cut-off, there is no visible colored band in the test region (T) of the device, indicating a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will appear at the control region (C), if the test has been performed properly.
## M. Performance Characteristics:
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Repeatability was evaluated using a single test kit lot and one operator; whereas reproducibility was conducted across three point-of-care (POC) sites in the U.S. using three test kit lots (one lot per site), three operators per site, performing one run per day for five non-consecutive days.
For repeatability and reproducibility, Hb-free fecal samples were collected and spiked with hemoglobin to achieve the following seven fecal hemoglobin concentrations: 0 µg Hb/g stool, 1.2 µg Hb/g stool, 1.35 µg Hb/g stool, 1.5 µg Hb/g stool, 1.8 µg Hb/g stool, 2.25 µg Hb/g stool, and 60 µg Hb/g stool, that are equivalent to 0 ng/mL, 40 ng/mL, 45 ng/mL, 50 ng/mL, 60 ng/mL, 75 ng/mL and 2000 ng/mL, respectively. Twenty-one replicates were performed for each sample and concentration level. Repeatability and reproducibility results at all test sites passed acceptance criteria.

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
**Prozone (Hook Effect)**
Susceptibility of the Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test to prozone effects was evaluated using three test kit lots and three operators. Hemoglobin-free stool specimens were collected and spiked with human blood of known hemoglobin concentrations to obtain the following concentrations: 60000 µg Hb/g stool, 6000 µg Hb/g stool, 600 µg Hb/g stool, 60 µg Hb/g stool, 30 µg Hb/g stool, 15 µg Hb/g stool and 7.5 µg Hb/g stool. These concentrations are equivalent to the following hemoglobin concentrations when diluted with extraction buffer: 2 mg/mL, 200 µg/mL, 20 µg/mL, 2 µg/mL, 1 µg/mL, 500 ng/mL and 250 ng/mL respectively. Five aliquots of each sample mixed with extraction buffer in the specimen collection tubes were prepared and tested in a randomized order.

## Lay User Study
To support over the counter use, a lay user study (Tables 4, 5) was performed at three intended user sites with 100 lay users testing his/her own stool sample using the device according to the package insert. The lay users also provided a sample for professional testing. The overall agreement between the results obtained by lay-users and professional users was 100%. The lay users also tested spiked samples. Human Negative stool samples in collection buffer tubes (50mg feces in 1.5mL FOB buffer solution) were spiked with hemoglobin at concentrations of 0, 37.5, 50, 62.5, and 2000 ng/ml. A total of twenty spiked samples were made at each concentration. Each lay user tested only one spiked sample. All results are compared with that obtained by professionals. Two discrepant results were found for two samples near the cutoff at 37.5ng/mL concentration. The overall agreement between the results obtained by lay-users and professional users was 98%.

3. Specimen Identification:
Enter patient identification information manually on the label of the Sampling Collection Tube.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
If testing is performed by a laboratory, it is recommended that the laboratory should give the Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test sample collection tube to the patient for fecal sample collection. The patient should submit the sample to the laboratory for testing as per the appropriate instructions received from the laboratory. The sample must be returned or mailed to the doctor/laboratory within 48 hours of sampling. Testing may also be performed by the consumer if purchased over-the-counter. The sample can be stored at room temperature for up to 15 days or can be refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F) for up to 30 days. For long term storage, specimens should be kept at -20°C (-4°F).
5. Calibration:
Not applicable
6. Quality Control:
Internal Control: The Procedural Control is found in the procedural control region of the test cassette to assure the operator that the test has been properly performed. This control does not ensure that the capture antibody is accurately detecting the presence or absence of Hb in the sample.
External control: External controls are used to assure the operator that the capture and conjugated antibodies are present and reactive. Controls should be assayed according to the manufacturer’s instructions once per kit lot, following the local and state guidelines. If controls do not perform as expected, the test results should not be used.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Test Kit Reaction Time:
{13}
The Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test reaction time was demonstrated by using seven stool concentrations at eight different time points. Reaction time test samples were prepared by spiking Hb-free stool specimen with known levels of human Hb solution to obtain fecal samples with seven different Hb concentrations: 0 µg Hb/g stool, 1.2 µg Hb/g stool, 1.35 µg Hb/g stool, 1.5 µg Hb/g stool, 1.8 µg Hb/g stool, 2.25 µg Hb/g stool, and 60 µg Hb/g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 40, 45, 50, 60, 75 and 2000 ng/mL, respectively. Twenty one replicates of each sample were collected with Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test sample collection tubes. All specimens were tested with one test kit lot in a randomized and blinded manner by one operator. The test results were read and recorded at 3, 5, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 60 minutes. Positivity rate of 0 ng/mL was 0%, positivity rate of 40 ng/mL was 4.8%, positivity rate of 45 ng/mL was 47.6%, and the positivity rate of 50 ng/mL was 100% at 10 minutes of reaction. The appropriate reaction time of Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test was demonstrated as 10 minutes.
## 2. Operator Intensity Reading:
The operator intensity reading test was performed by utilizing test samples prepared by spiking Hb-free stool specimen with known levels of human Hb solution to obtain fecal samples with seven different Hb concentrations: 0 µg Hb/g stool, 1.2 µg Hb/g stool, 1.35 µg Hb/g stool, 1.5 µg Hb/g stool, 1.8 µg Hb/g stool, 2.25 µg Hb/g stool, and 60 µg Hb/g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 40, 45, 50, 60, 75 and 2000 ng/mL, respectively. Twenty-five replicates were prepared for each concentration. All specimens were tested with one test kit lot in a randomized and blinded manner by five different readers at one intended use site. The study participants recorded the results and graded the intensity of the test line from 10 levels: (B (no test line), C9 (faint test line), C8, C7, C6, C5, C4, C3, C2 and C1 (deepest test line). The intensity of the test line increased in correlation with the Hb concentration of stool test samples. There was no statistical significance in the analyses of the test samples performed by the operators for the intensity reading test study.
## 3. Specimen Collection Verification:
Verification that the applicator device for the Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test consistently delivers the specified amount of stool required for optimal test performance was performed by five lay users using five positive and five negative clinical samples per lay user. The study was performed at one intended use site. Five positive and 5 negative clinical samples results were confirmed using the predicate device and the proposed device. A professional operator used an electronic balance and weighed the sampling stick first so that this weight could be offset. The lay users then inserted the sampling stick into test stool sample at six different sites to collect samples and placed the sampling stick back in to the sample collection tube (without buffer). After, the professional operator used the electronic balance to weigh the sample stick with stool sample.
The lay users next used three sample collection tubes (with buffer) to collect the sample again and used three test cassettes of Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test to test the result according to the test procedure directions of the package insert. The average value for sample volume collected was 0.0517g and the standard deviation was 0.0027,

which demonstrated the consistency of the sampling. The total positive and negative results obtained by the lay users are consistent with the expected results for the test samples. The lay users collected adequate consistent amounts of stool samples when following the package insert directions to perform the Wondfo One Step Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Test.

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.
