The Evidence MultiSTAT DOA Urine MultiPlex is intended for use with the Evidence MultiSTAT. The Evidence MultiSTAT is an analyzer intended for the qualitative determination of parent drug molecule and metabolites of drugs in human urine at the associated cutoffs. The Evidence MultiSTAT DOA Urine MultiPlex detects the following drugs at the following cut-offs: Phenobarbital (200 ng/ml), Tramadol (200 ng/ml), Phencyclidine (25 ng/ml), Buprenorphine (5 ng/ml), 6-Acetylmorphine (10 ng/ml). The Evidence MultiSTAT DOA Urine MultiPlex provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and/or Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Other chemical confirmation methods are available. Clinical consideration and professional judgement should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are obtained. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Device Story
Evidence MultiSTAT DOA Urine MultiPlex is a benchtop, fully automated chemiluminescent immunoassay system for qualitative drug-of-abuse screening in human urine. The system utilizes a sealed biochip cartridge containing immobilized antibodies specific to drug classes. The principle of operation is a competitive immunoassay where drug in the sample competes with HRP-labeled drug derivatives for antibody binding sites; increased drug concentration reduces chemiluminescence. A CCD camera in the Evidence MultiSTAT analyzer quantifies light output. The device is intended for clinical laboratory use. Results are compared against a known cut-off material to classify samples as positive or negative. The output provides preliminary analytical results to assist healthcare providers in clinical decision-making, necessitating confirmation by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were performed. Performance was established via analytical bench testing and a method comparison study using 878 clinical urine samples. The device was compared against LC-MS/MS (or GC/MS for Phenobarbital) reference methods. Results demonstrated agreement across low negative, near cut-off negative, near cut-off positive, and high positive ranges. Interference studies evaluated exogenous compounds, pH, and specific gravity.
Technological Characteristics
Benchtop fully automated Biochip Array System. Core technology: solid-state biochip with immobilized antibodies. Detection: competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay using HRP-labeled drug derivatives and CCD camera. Reagents: phosphate/Tris buffers, luminol, peroxide. Connectivity: USB for batch-specific updates. Software: automated signal quantification.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative determination of parent drug molecules and metabolites of drugs of abuse (Phenobarbital, Tramadol, Phencyclidine, Buprenorphine, 6-Acetylmorphine) in human urine at specified cut-offs. For prescription use only.

Identification
An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An opiate test system is not exempt if it is intended for any use other than employment or insurance testing or is intended for Federal drug testing programs. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9, provided the test system is intended for employment and insurance testing and includes a statement in the labeling that the device is intended solely for use in employment and insurance testing, and does not include devices intended for Federal drug testing programs (*e.g.,* programs run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. military).

## B Principle of Operation:
The candidate device performs simultaneous detection of multiple analytes from a single sample. The core technology is the Randox Biochip, a solid-state device containing an array of discrete test regions containing immobilized antibodies specific to different Drugs of Abuse (DOA) compound classes. A competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay is used for the DOA assays with the drug in the specimen and drug labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) being in direct competition for the antibody binding sites. Increased levels of drug in a specimen will lead to reduced binding of drug labelled with HRP and thus a reduction in chemiluminescence being emitted. The light signal generated from each of the test regions on the biochip is detected by a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera in the Evidence MultiSTAT analyzer which, together with the analyzer software, is used to quantify the light output and produce results. The tests employ a qualitative reporting method. Each test sample is assayed against the provided Cut Off material of known concentration, which is used to determine the classification of the samples based on the comparison of the signal output.
The immunoassay processes are performed automatically in a self-contained and sealed biochip cartridge, which holds the biochips, the reagents, wash buffer and other fluids required for the test to be conducted.

## Analytical Specificity:
To test cross-reactivity, drug metabolites and other compounds that may be present in human urine samples were tested using three (3) lots of the candidate device. The sponsor identified the concentration of each compound prepared in drug free negative urine that would produce a positive response for each assay when analyzed against the cut off material. The following is a summary of the cross-reactivity study. The individual assays are calibrated against the compounds marked with an asterisk (*).

# Specific gravity and pH:
The effect of specific gravity for each analyte was evaluated by testing positive (50% above cutoff) and negative samples (50% below cutoff) at specific gravities ranging from 1.000 to 1.030. No interference was observed for all specific gravities tested.
The sponsor performed a study to evaluate whether low or high pH causes negative or positive interference with the candidate device. Samples containing the claimed drugs at concentrations corresponding to -50% and +50% of the cutoff were adjusted to pH levels ranging from 3.0 to 11.0. Aside from 6-Acetylmorphine at pH 11, none of the pH levels tested caused a positive result at -50% of the cutoff or a negative result at +50% of the cutoff, as described below:
| Assay | pH Assessed that Does Not Interfere | | | | |

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.
